Best Badges in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Ranked
10. Badge of Defense
For those who encounter opponents leveraging powerful badges, the Badge of Defense is your ace in the hole. It nullifies the effects of your opponent's badges, rendering their perks ineffective. Available in Tin, Silver, and Gold, each version cancels out badges of corresponding quality. It's the perfect counter if you're facing players with Warlord or Doppelganger badges. You can purchase it from Karl von Unterbruck at Under the Bridge in Trosky or from Minstrel Roxanne at random roadside camps.
9. Badge of Fortune
When the dice seem to conspire against you, the Badge of Fortune can turn your fortunes around.

You can pickpocket or loot it from Vauquelin Brabant in Raborsch.
8. Badge of Transmutation
The Badge of Transmutation provides the ability to alter a die after rolling. The Gold version lets you transform any die into a 1, the Silver version changes it to a 5, and the Tin version shifts it to a 3. With 1 and 5 capable of scoring independently, this badge is essential for maintaining your scoring streak. It's available for purchase from Henslin Schaber at roadside camps.
7. Badge of Might
If you're aiming to land high-scoring combos, the Badge of Might is indispensable. It allows you to add an extra die to your roll, significantly increasing your chances of achieving big sets.
