This video being uncut was super interesting and it is very interesting how many times you use the word interesting 😂, just playing mate. I found your channel recently as I have gotten back into dead cells and you make really informative videos so thank you for that, this was a very long one which I watched in several different sittings in order to get a good idea of each weapon. Good luck with your channel going forward and I'll definitely be dropping a like and sub. 👍

Thanks for the videos, i am at 2 BS atm stucked. Super difficult to pass this level but i am training everyday a few runs in order to achieve BS 3

I used to hate the Iron Staff, but after forcing myself to use it on a few runs, I now think it's one of the best weapons in the game. It works with shield mutations so you can stack extra damage and massive healing just by killing enemies. I also think the Spiked Boots are amazing at 5bc. Everything is always about to attack you, so you are constantly getting crits. Add in melee, and everything is going to die before it gets the hit off. Maybe you dont manage to take out the mob; after hearing the crit noise a 3 times, just roll and you'll be fine.

This list is about how often he takes the weapons when they pop up, not about how good they are. I personally don't take the bat that often because you kinda need the entire build around it to make it work, and it's not really that good on biomes, range is too short and it's too easy to lock yourself into spamming attacks which is kinda dangerous in 5bc.

@DisappointedGiant

7 ай бұрын

Yup, see the other comment here. I also talked about how a lot of people like the bat and that if someone hasn't used it yet that they should take it early game and crush things.

I just started playing this game again after YEARS, where half these items weren't in game. I remember it took me dozens of hours to beat 0bc and 1bc... I got the game again but this time on PC and I'm already at 3bc after 4 days or so... The baseball bat + throwables/wolf trap build or the crossbow weapons allow you to just turn your brain off, they're so cheesy 😅

i think this was more of a fun rating then how easy/strong the item is, but its definetly interesting to hear your thoughts.

As far as dead cells weapons go most if not ALL can be used in some way or another which is what keeps the game so interesting, my favourite melee weapon has got to be the whip sword atm. Looking forward to see your opinion on all of the ranged weapons.

I think you're absolutely right. Everything is viable and you should try everything someday. Maybe itll be your favorite weapon

I love Alucard's sword as well, even if it has killed me more often than I care to admit by teleporting me into spikes or any dangerous stuff haha. My instant pickup when I see them in the tubes are the scissors and the pickaxe. Pickaxe is just so good, as having 12k gold is so easy in 5bc, and scissors are kinda op for someone like me who can't beat 5bc yet, it makes the sewers biomes a breeze. I wish I was better at the game but for me, most of these weapons are unusable, as I feel you need to be really good at the game to make them work (i.e. RnB, wrecking ball, tonfas, etc).

@DisappointedGiant

Another person of taste! Alucard's Sword is really special. Good point about the Scissors in the Sewers, too. So many little enemies to make the bigger ones disappear. It's on my list of things to take again in the near future so I can reevaluate for myself. I hear you about the more tech heavy weapons like the Tonfas and Wrecking Ball. I didn't think to mention this in the video since I was just winging it but some of the items that I really like (those two, King Scepter, Meat Skewer) come at the end of dozens of failed runs from trying to make them work for me. If you have items you want to check out it's worth dropping down to a lower BC and using the Training Room to get acclimated to the weapon's moveset.

Scissors are amazing in biomes with a lot of small fry like bats and rats. Take this route: Toxic, Corrupted, Ancient, Conjunct, Graveyard, Sepulcher, Time Keeper. I think they would work great in Shipwreck, too, but I never go there because I hate the servants. They are surprisingly great in the Bank since you can one shot an elite gorger by killing a golden kamikaze. The only disadvantage is that you'd probably want to change it to something that can crit for the last bosses.

They're probably good in Distillery too since there are so many bats and corpse juices there that'll get cut in one hit.

That whole ramble at the end, where you said 'the player has to pause' and corrected it to 'I have to pause' when talking about how you react to finding an item....I believe you had it right the first time.

Thank you! I'm glad you've enjoyed my videos. Evil Empire is the dev of Dead Cells at this point. A few Motion Twin folks started EE summer of 2019 and they've ramped up staffing to include something like 50 employees now. MT still has to approve any new content and the two companies actually share an office space, but the main MT team has been working on a new IP for the past few years instead of focusing on Dead Cells. (It's called Windblown, the trailer just hit a few weeks ago.) All that said, you bring up a great and important point that I didn't realize I've been neglecting! In my most recent 5BC video I thanked and talked about MT a bit but am realizing that I've been leaning on EE a lot since they've been developing new content. I appreciate your feedback and your comment - I'll keep this in mind the next time I start rambling on about the game's development!

Thank you! Yes, they can be found in the Slumbering Sanctuary. The blueprint drops from the Golem (the big enemy that rushes and slams the ground). It's a fairly common drop but you can take the Hunter's Grenade there. That enemy does a ton of damage so I recommend taking a Wolf Trap or something else like that to slow it so you can get the blueprint. Good luck!

(This is a comparison between the 3 slowest survival weapons to show why in my opinion Toothpick is weak) Toothpick has tiny first hit damage. While the other slowest survival weapons deal around 200 base damage on first hit, toothpick deals 150. It may not feel like a big difference, but in practice I often find enemies taking 2 (or even 3 if the combo resets) hits to die. First hit speed is in the middle at 0.86667s but I'll add the 2nd hit too at 1.067s, and at that point it'd be better off charging it. And speaking of charging, it takes 1.3s to charge up and has a 4x multiplier. For me it seems impractical to charge it up just because an enemy would have barely enough health to withstand a normal hit. The reason I like using Oven Axe is its consistency of the first hit, being faster (0.8s) and dealing good enough damage to kill most enemies in a single swing. Wrecking Ball has the slowest first hit (1.1s) but has the same damage as Axe.

@DisappointedGiant

5 ай бұрын

I love this! Thank you for putting all the raw damage and numbers here. I've been using Oven Axe a lot recently and have been enjoying the heft and the surprising speed of the hits (despite the slow wind-up and pauses). That's a good point about that first hit from Toothpick being lower - it feels like Axe and Wrecking Ball take enemies out on that first big hit. Legendary Toothpick is better that non because it stuns and opens up space for the next non-charged hits. It feels so good to charge and bonk an elite but Oven Axe (medium skill ceiling) and Wrecking Ball (high skill ceiling) feel better overall. Thank you for your thoughts and the analysis!
