How to Unlock Every Commander in Dicevaders
Dicevaders has ten commanders. Three are open from your first run; the other seven each come with a Steam achievement named “Unlock
The unlock ladder
| Batch | Commanders | What unlocks them | Steam players with the unlock |
|---|---|---|---|
| Start | The Captain, Blob Girl, The Core | Available on a new save (they were the demo’s three) | — |
| Batch 2 | Whisperer, Hex Prince, The Riftmaker | Clearing Chapter 1 | 60.9%, 51.3%, 50.3% |
| Batch 3 | The Duchess, Blood Beast, The Exalted | Beating the third pilot of Chapter 2 | 32.3%, 31.0%, 30.0% |
| Last | The Overseer | A later clear; shown as a “secret boss” unlock in one video | 15.4% |
How we got there. In Olexa’s 1.0 video, finishing a chapter “unlocked a new chapter” and “three more characters”, including Whisperer, and the select screen then said the next ones need the third pilot of Chapter 2 defeated. A Steam player also reported getting Hex Prince’s unlock achievement right after beating Chapter 1. The Steam rates fit that ladder: batch 2 sits just under the 65.1% Chapter 1 clear rate, batch 3 just under the 46.4% Chapter 2 rate. The Overseer’s 15.4% is close to the Chapter 4 clear rate (17.3%), but no source states her exact condition yet.
Unlocking items, not just commanders
Commanders also unlock their own items as you play. Olexa’s run shows a new “chance to find this perk during a run with the commander” message for Monocle, The Captain’s perk that makes lone Base Dice count as pairs. Each commander has six such items; they are listed on the artifact page.
Known issue
On launch day a player reported that the Hex Prince achievement unlocked after Chapter 1 while Hex Prince did not appear selectable. If that happens, restart the game before reporting it with the in-game F2 form.
Which unlock to aim for first
- Whisperer is the most common unlock (60.9%); her Apples turn into Mini-Dice and artifact XP when destroyed.
- The Riftmaker turns its Rift face into extra dice in every column and gains +1 Chrono each time it launches.
- The Overseer is the payoff: she merges two other commanders’ kits, at the cost of faster-scaling defense.
Full kits for all ten are on the commander page.
Logged, commander. Thanks for the signal.
