Konstant dice seem like one of those good ideas that must not have been playtested much; in practice, they are nearly useless, and the usual optimal strategy when opposing them is to ignore them completely. In the situation below, however, the konstant die seems to have some value -- just not to its owner. It's usually a wasted move to capture a die that isn't a threat, but in this case the benefit outweighs the waste.
[Some people might claim that Null dice are equally useless and worth ignoring. Such people are very very wrong.]

Ah, not a devotee of the konstant die then?
I like playing matchups of konstant vs stealth dice, where the konstant skill provides an interesting foil to the stealth skill.
