10+9+10+5 = (34)
that's the most I've seen...except they didn't roll any dice they just removed all the miniatures from two cels. | | | |

I've fairly regularly gotten in the mid-20s when using Passion or Fear bands, but haven't hit 30 dice yet.

Cell 2 (Portal, adjacent to Cell 1):
3x Ragedrake (10+6)x3=48
3x Maiden - Enraged (2+5)x3=21
3x Caged Grawlth (9+6)x3=45
3x Omen Locust (3+6)x3=27
2x Forgeblind Punisher (8+6)x2=28
3x Enemy Barbstrider
Total = 169
Cell 1 (combat cell):
3xWarmonger (169+7+3)x3=537
1x Swordstrider (179+3)=182
1x Enemy Fig
Total = 719
This is fun!Â
Now can we break 800?
Z Max in a regular attack (non-Shard Troll version) is going to be more. First, note that it's obviously better to have 3 Swordstriders and 1 Warmonger, for 9 more power (72 . But we can do better than that:
The opponent has Gent x 2 and Knight of Strife and Joy in a scoring cell, oh, and triple Greenlife Dryad in another scoring cell, and triple Aviax Cowboy plus HBT in the cell with the your Warmonger and 3 Swordstriders. The opponent gets at least 20 spawn total (11 base plus 9 for Dryads plus 2 for HBT), and takes control of a Swordstrider, uses Gent to then skirmish that Cowboy out of the cell, now uses another Cowboy, skirmish, and final Cowboy. He ends with Cowboy in the cell along with 3 swordstriders temporarily in the cell. You move in 2 more Warmongers (and, if it gets a higher total, some other creature?), then when the Swordstriders revert, you have 6 (or 7) creatures in the cell.
Cell 2 (Portal, adjacent to Cell 1):
3x Ragedrake (10+6)x3=48
3x Maiden - Enraged (2+5)x3=21
3x Caged Grawlth (9+6)x3=45
3x Omen Locust (3+6)x3=27
3x Enemy Barbstrider
Total = 141
Cell 1 (combat cell):
3xWarmonger (141+7+3)x3=453
3xSwordstrider (151+3)x3=462
1x Enemy Fig
Total = 915
Taking away a 2 Caged Grawlths, and replacing with Shard Troll and Warlust Satyr loses 10 dice in the portal (131) and 60 dice in the combat cell (855), so 4 attacks that all get blades in both cells is... (855+131)*4= 3944 bonus spawn. Plus 3 enemy Greenlife Dryads is +9. Opponent has Bonecarved Idol in a scoring cell, so spawn roll of 14. Finally, after your last attacks that got all blades, the opponent used scarabs and ragedrakes and such to kill 17 of your minis, all but Shard Troll, so +34 bonus spawn.
3944+9+14+30=4001
Awesome, broke 4000, but can we get even higher, did I miss something?
Oh, and here's a reality check, can the opponent kill all 15 minis in 2 phases, and does he have enough slots left in his band? I gave above the scenario for 3 Aviax Cowboys, but it turned out we only need to break the stacking limit by 2 anyways. So, the enemy doesn't need third Cowboy nor Heartsblood Temple:
2 Cowboys
1 Gent
1 Knight of Strife and Joy
1 Bonecarved Idol
3 Barbstriders
3 Greenlife Dryads
and, let's say,
3 Ragedrakes
1 Naga Broodqueen
is only 15 creatures
By the time the final 2 strikes happen, let's assume the Naga's Rush ability has gotten the KSJ into the cell adjacent the portal, and moved out any Cowboys in that cell. There's Naga, KSJ, 2 Ragedrakes in that cell, and Ragedrake + 3 Barbstriders in the portal.
Strike in cell adjacent to portal, get 3 blades and 69 dmg on 26 dice. That easily kills 3 Warmongers (3*10) and 3 Swordstriders (3*7). Naga Rush targets the Barbstriders, and moves 2 of them out, KSJ skirmishes in 2 ragedrakes. 33 dice in portal on 2 consecutive attacks gets 132 damage, which is way more than enough to kill 3 ragedrakes, 3 omen locusts, 3 virtuous maidens, 1 caged grawlth, 1 warlust satyr.
Yep, it's all possible, a 4001 dice attack is theoretically possible in this game, as best as I can tell.
Edit: Actually, on the no spawn attacks to power the Warlust Satyr, the Virtuous Maidens won't be enraged, so that'll lower the total. On the other hand, if the Warmongers attack in every cell on the board each phase for 4 phases, always putting every unneeded die rolled into Battle Energize, it's possible to get a much bigger attack than 4000, though it's silly complicated to figure out the exact max, so I haven't... yet.
I'm sure that more than 18000 dice rolled on a single Shard Troll attack is possible, the max might be a lot higher even than that.
