    Destruction of your castle does not reset the nerd timer, so you don't lose production.

    Thank you! :)

    It seems to me that they really didn't think through the concept of the cheater's dice. It's fine for attacking, but there doesn't seem to be a need for it in defending. As far as I can see, when you tap on the shield over your house to defend it, the attack is immediately stopped so there seems to be no need for extra help from the dice. I've tried using the dice, but it just stops the attack as normal without using up any of my dice. I'm really not sure what they were thinking here...

    I haven't tested it, but I think the rewards vary. But it also depends on how many nerds are about. Right now I use for attacking, since all of the towns I attack could use a nice destruction, and I like the instant payout.

    I'm also having the issue where I used the 20 sided die to defend my town as part of the quest, but I'm not completing the quest. I've used the die 3 times to try and "defend my town" and it won't complete.

    The cheaters dice: if you have any buildings under attack ( a blue shield icon will appear over the building) you can tap the dice for this. It's like an auto collect.

    To use it on another sf, you tap the building & instead of the usual attack you will see an option to tap that dice instead to get automatic destruction. Personally I would use it only on the castles if possible.

    And random town castles, at that, due to the higher reward.

    Maybe nothing happens because your town has no blue shields. You would need to wait until you do. Then it should work.

    If you try to tap on the shield with the red die on it when you don't have anything to defend or rebuild, it tells you so. When you do have something to defend, it tells you to select a building, but then doesn't seem to do anything other than stop the attack just as it would have if you didn't use the dice. No dice are used up in the process and the quest does not get completed.

    Nope, when I have no blue shields and try to press the die it says 'No buildings are under attack'

    When there are blue shields and I press it, the number of red die decreases and I collect from it but the task doesn't complete

    Well, that's good to know. I am having the same problem as others. My 20 Cheaters quest is in my Taskbook showing Defense as incomplete (attack worked fine, for me).

    I've successfully used the 20 Cheaters to Defend at least 2-3 times (possibly more, as there were a couple other attempts that may or may not count (should have counted) due to a personal user error issue). The times I'm sure I got it right, I was staring at 2-4 blue shield houses under active attack, I clicked the red die icon, was prompted to tap anywhere on the screen, I did so, and all the shields exploded into loot, which autocollected. I'm certain this is working as intended, but Quest just doesn't recognize the completion.

    Sadly, I'm now currently out of Cheaters...

    OK, just got mine to work. Apparently I was doing it wrong the whole time.

    When you are being attacked, tap on the cheater's die in the upper right corner. It prompts you to touch the screen to defend. Tap on a house that IS NOT being attacked. I'm not sure whether this defends all of your houses at once or what, but it worked for me - the screen flashed white, my die count went down by one and the quest cleared.

    Why you have to touch a house that is not being attacked is beyond me, but whatever. :?

    You'll also get more free ones randomly when defending/repairing attacks. I had 4 drop so far plus the pack prize.
