Dead Cells v3.0 | All Skills Tier List 

And that's a wrap! Here we conclude the last of the 3.0 tier lists. Let me know what your favourite skills are in the comments! Psst! New video on my anime channel: "Why Do Dubbed Anime Sound So Bad?" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EZ5yhCAhQMA.html

Stun grenade synergies: being recycled Baseball bat: "am i a joke to you?!"

"the CP is S+ ...wait a minute" I had to stop and rewind just to digest what I just heard, absolute premium content right there

Stun Grenade - "Noteworthy sinergies: Recycling"

“this skill is the second coming of christ. saved my dog from a burning building. B tier” “this skill forcefully entered my home and broke all of my bones with a waffle iron. B tier”

Dead orb should get patched to allow you to trigger it once more after releasing and it goes back the opposite direction

Stun grenade is INSANE with baseball bat and cooldown reductions

I love how a face flask was supposed to be a joke item from blasphemous, and became one of the best tactics

Stun grenade and root grenade actually go hard with the baseball bat, especially root grenade when paired with the mutation that reduces cooldowns when hitting a rooted or frozen enemy

Holly he actually did it, love your tier lists man

Tonic is my go-to for Boss Rush and for the second part of a normal Survival play-through on 5BC. The ability to prevent all damage is insane and it works much better than Frozen Armor as long as you aren't at full health. And if you are, you don't really need help (also can still use Tonic even at full health for the guaranteed shield effect that they added when they removed speed buff from it).

Absolute mad lad making all this high quality content in such a short time

Great tier list, its awesome to see dead cells updates.

Tonic is actually good if you pair it with the giant killer in boss fight because if you choose some right mutation it will always recover your health

“Clussy grenade” LMAO

There's actually a immortality combo you can make its Blood Sucker (aspect) Collecter's Syringe And Open Wound All you need to do is use collectors syringe on any enemy and you'll get all you health back

dislike for not mentioning the Sharknado easter egg love your content keep it up

This video was amazing! Thank you so much. Job super well done.

i like to use tonic for facetank builds, in one of my recent runs i paired it with extended heal for spoiler boss where the idea was that i just commit to my attack while facetanking and i will be healing it all up and tonic made me borderline invincible. heart of ice made it much more reliable too

I just started playing Dead Cells. and your tier lists are very useful

i like to use the door as a stun grenade, but honestly anything is better than the door

C is pretty generous for Tonic, seriously i have never in my life had a reason to take it and it infuriates me that every chest i open has a 90% chance to give me tonic

niceee been waiting 4 this

Great videos man, love your channel

mushroom boy has gotten me some crucial interrupts against bosses, but he does drive me crazy knocking enemies out of melee range quite often

IS THAT THE HUNGRY SHARK THEME IN THE BACKROUND?! THATS IT BEST VIDEO EVER 10/1 THAT SONG IS A BOPPER

Hey Pseychie, I would like to thank you and your efforts to make those tierlists, thanks to those I could make it from 2BC to 3BC Now its time to suffer and have fun with the new difficulty Update: I've made it to 4BC

I learn so much with these videos, I thank you deeply sir

The Barnacle can roll +80% to poisoned target with is what makes it a super powerful dps. It can also roll toxic cloud on deploy so that you do not need any other item to ensure its crit. It is one of the best imo

I recently beat the Spoiler Boss with a x4 Frantic Sword, Corrupted Power, and Flamethrower. Corrupted Power truly is insane!

Thank so much! i really like your videos you do an excelent job!

Emergency doors can theoretically be some way to apply burning oil instantly, if it has spreading oil that burns when destroyed affix. But there are probably too many alternatives that achieve the similar result and actually do some damage

I've found that Face Flask and Infantry grenade have actually become my go-to brutality skills, not because of their insane damage but just because of their fast cooldown, which allows them to utilize a lot of affix-based synergies on demand. A Face Flask that covers the ground with burning oil is actually just an instant win, and infantry grenade can apply status effects to a large crowd of enemies if you're in a tight spot. it is somewhat luck-based, but as long as you upgrade them to three affix slots they can last you an entire run.

Noteworthy synergies: Recycling I'm dead 💀 that's so deserved

Pretty cool choice of background music around 2:40! Regards, the person who wrote the Revita soundtrack 😁

27:35 so true lmao. I had never been to the derelict distillery before, and when I had discovered that the Tesla coil was in there I also read it was a nightmare biome... I quickly found out why, and after the short like 6/7 times I got there (and got the Tesla coil finally) I never intend to go back there! Unless... There are other blueprints there I haven't gotten yet. Also, thank you for the guides, recently got my 3rd BsC (which took me around 40 hours from the previous one) and after that I actually got my 4th BsC the next day (5 hours playtime later).

was just binging through a bunch of your dead cells videos on the background while working, when suddenly hearing Revita music in the background, a pleasant surprise =P (For context, I am the lead dev of Revita)

Love your use of the danganronpa song it goes really well with the dead cells gameplay

4:53 this actually blew my mind i never thought you could use corrupted power in any color since its a percentage increase not a numeric one... damn

corrupted power my beloved

Again I must praise the cursed sword for training me into an excellent player. Because I got used to the fast sparatic movements needed to stay alive, I ended up making extreme use of the sickles when I eventually bought the dlc.

Thanks for your great Ideas

maybe mixing tonic, vampirism, and frantic sword in 5 bc could be a good play, speed boost plus most likely giving you less than 50 health for the sword, but also have tonic and maybe disengagement for one shot protection. just a thought

Never really used Corrupted Power all that much, but after seeing this video, I'm going for it ASAP. I mean _Jesus CHRIST_ that *_DAMAGE._*

That Outer Wilds track at the end never fails to give me chills

I managed to do a bleed build with cleaver and knife dance on top of open wounds and bleed affixes and I just melted everything in my way. Bleeding is insane if you can get all the pieces.

Thanks to you I got through 2 BC Now it's Time for round 3

Mushroom Boi is probably my favorite skill in the game and one of the few that I will happily keep at rank I if I can't find any upgrades. Even if his damage isn't that good he can and will constantly knock people off of cliffs and YOLO damage has value no matter what rank the skill is. xD Plus I mean...just look at him! He's the bestest of bois!

Nice list

"Don't tell the devs" - LOL

Thanks for the great vdo's. One thing that would be most helpful for those of us on 1BC would be to understand the terminology of the mutations and weapons, so we can better select the proper mutuation with the proper weapon...I'll provide areas were our group of friends don't quite understand: a. Ice Grenade says 6 sec...does that mean the bomb is active for a full 6 seconds?. It states " -6% damage received " - does that mean while the bomb is active, if we were to receive damage, we would get a decrease in damage by 6%? Biters crawl from the dead - what does this mean? and how does that help us? Upon thawing, the enemy suffers from bleeding - does that me enemies get additional damage ? b. Killer Instinct Mutation - says "Melee kills reduce skill cooldowns by .51 secs. Does that mean if out secondary weapon, say traps takes 10 seconds to recharge, now only takes 9.5 seconds? ... Also, does consecutive melee kills compound the x .51 secs? c. Tranquility - +26 damage if there are no enemies near you. Does this mean any ranged attack , where your enemy is further than say a melee weapon/attach distance, or does the amount of distance need to be greater than that??? Also, does the +26 damage apply to any type of other ranged weapon/non purple weapon? d. counterattack - the attack following a successful parry inflicits +850 damage. Will that apply to any other colored weapon included ranged weapons or 2ndary weapons? What happens if using a weapon and we miss on the first shot or strike?...will we get the +850 extra damage on the 2nd shot/but first connected shot or swing??? e. what does a "red skull x2" mean for a weapon? What does +100% damage taken...mean? f. stunned target - what constitues a stunned target? what would/weapons cause an enemy to be stunned? g. Dodging plants a bomb - would jumping constitute a dodge? or only a slide/roll?? h. if your character has a : red skull x2 above their head...what does that mean? i. Cannot be interruted by an enemys attack - please clarify and give examples to better understand j. Heavy Crossbow - please explain this weapon. It seems that we get the bow and reloader together. But, even without hitting the reload button.......it seems that the bow, every other shot seems to do larger damange (say a critical hit)?....is that correct? If we don't need to reload, but lets say we have a moment so we hit the reload button anyways...will the next shot automatically give us larger damage because we just hit the reload button? k. buring oil vs. cover the ground with inflammable oil? - please explain the difference. does one do damnage and the other is a potential set-up to do damage? L. Seems that the mutations selected - line up visually in each of the script options " brutality, tactics, survival"... but is it fair to say that the mutations will help any of the 3 colors...so a red melee weapon could actually benefit for a purple tactics upgrade/script ??? M. what does a white " 1skull " mean above our character ?

Mushroom Boi deserves S-tier for being a cute boi

for me the best synergy is Hattori's Katana, some shield you like, Magnetic Grenade and Instinct of the Master of Arms. you can literally kill huge amount of enemies and reload your granade instantly. you can also paly aorund with different mutations

the music of this video is so good it deserves another video for itself! can you list some of the music used pls?

I'm using lightsped as a mass aoe as well as a little invincibility. Also, useful to get range from enemies.

I haven't used it for this because I've just come back to the game after a lengthy hiatus (bought all the DLC on mobile!), but regarding the Tonic: it looks like its current description could make it useful for challenge rifts, to soak up some of your mistakes. Especially if you went in with low health.

Finally!!! The knife dance gets justice!

It's here my mans

"A clussy grenade" I hate you :')

Every time I use phaser/grappling hook to do a lot of damage with assassin's dagger, I eventually regret it. Not that those aren't good interactions, but I feel like you this type of build ends up quite vulnerable to even like, having one rat in front of your desired target

revita music i have mad respect for you

I dont remember if baseball bat came out about the time of this video, but stun grenade + baseball bat + throwing knife is a BROKEN combo (Baseball bat crit for stun + extra hit speed from stun)

27:25 anyone else just vibing with the music

2:03 you did not just call it that

Hey Pseychie, I have questions regarding a tactics build. Am I supposed to have a shield? Or what do I take in it's stead? I watched your deck of cards showcase (I think it's your only tactics showcase?) And I just didn't understand what to take as my second slot weapon. I always have a shield, but don't even use it in a tactics build. Currently got to 4BsC, so I don't have thunder shield yet

actually you could have added the baseball bat to the synergies of phaser too because after phasing for a short time enemies get rooted so it hits like a truck and destreys bosses

What about the Diverse Deck? The Foresight card is an always-on 5 second (3 on a legendary) auto-refreshing free parry. If you can't avoid getting hit once every three seconds you shouldn't be playing this game...This makes you functionally invincible. Also, the catalyst card is a auto-poison that melts bosses if you have a fast weapon.

Great work! I've noticed you tend to not use shields. I pretty much always use shields (at like 550 hours in 3 years) unless it's like alchemic carbine for tactics. Can't imagine not playing without one to be honest, or one in the BP with armadillopack. Any tips on playing without a shield, as in what 2 melee or 2 ranged weapons could work together? Or 1 melee/1 ranged?

I think you underestimated the Serenade a bit. The fact that it attacks flying enemies and enemies behind walls, covering weak spots for you is incredible. Sometimes when you're cursed and don't want to risk getting hit, serenade might be your best friend. I don't know how much damage it does in 5BC, but in 2 and 3 BC it definitely packs a punch if you keep alternating between stances. It basically becomes your primary weapon. I pick it (almost) every time I see it (I gotta hold myself not to keep doing the same thing over and over again :v )

A couple of random thoughts I think you misspoke about the Leg Hugger's effects, You said it causes bleeding by licking and turning into a ball let's it crit against bleeding enemies. Not really relevant but the sprite for the Scavenged Bombard has always looked so out of place. It looks like it's from a completely different game. Some of the weaker/defensive skills like Corrosive Cloud always come with a damage reduction bonus. I feel that should be worth mentioning. Doesn't emergency door also stun if broken near an enemy or block a single projectile? I'm not saying that makes it any better but it also has the damage reduction too

25:50 now you can use it for Baseball bat build, so it is kind of good.

there's been cases where the boi actually took put an enemy that was sneaking up.

WOW I never realized how good CP was, I really need to try it mixed with a tonic survival build Edit: in the matter of the giants fist (I main survival so I find myself using it a lot) it’s description doesn’t lie, it genuinely goes for what the game sees as the most dangerous enemy on screen. This CAN mean bigger enemies such as oven knights yes, but it can also mean projectile enemies that shoot through walls, or chase you/teleport to you naturally (without 5BC). Good thing to note however. It prioritizes elite enemies over ANYTHING else

Doesn't the second part of the lightspeed have a high chance to roll a healing affix on it which makes it an S+?

end times hits different

What do you think about making a biome tier list?

10/10 video

Are you going to do a mutations tier list ?

"Rooting and stunning is useless" Haha what if we added a funny bat?

Collector's syringe: Am I a joke to you (anyways a S/S+ for me,as long as you keep your cells)

banger vid

I know this is completely your opinion, but to be sure about stun grenade, it’s really useful with slow weapons. Yes, it isn’t the best, but still isn’t so bad

I feel like you quite undersell the power of the CC grenades (mainly stun and root) with heart of ice, as it can give you a much higher uptime on your secondary skill, which is the one you'll then use for damage.

nice video

When you trohw a shark in the tonado something good is happening

What’s the music at 15:50? It sounds sooo familiar and I can’t put my finger on it.

Serenade should be S- tier bc it actually crazy

So while I was getting better at the game, going up through the cells, I was practicing Derelict Distillery with like one hit left on me. There was a section with explosive barrels falling from the ceiling that you had to jump through. I jumped it, grabbed a scroll that was sitting on the other side when mushroom boi jumps head first into a barrel and kills me

emergency door had so much potential😞 like when i saw it i thought it would like teleport me to a room to give me time to heal

don't listen to him Leghugger, you're S tier in my heart

What about that deck of cards? I think it is the best item in the game for non-pros. Negating one hit every 5 sec is bonkers!

I was afraid off using corrupted power... I Guess I will have it a try then

I think that vampirism is only good with bone bc its freaking fast(but idk if this spin counts as many attacks or only one bc i didnt use vampirism with it)

26:45 ngl the beheaded could probably use a backscratcher as a weapon

so im confused because corrupted power has a icon saying it does more damage for your skillpoints but does that do anything really.

Tonic is good to save you in a tight spot

God I didn't even think about the vengeance mut with face flask! Duh! I feel fucking stupid for not realizing that would be a great way to top your damage up. Gonna try a brut build with ff today

11:03 sending a rat into the shadow realm ☠

I love Umineko too. The music is fuckin' sweet.

Not going againts your opnions But for weapon only builds Vampirism+Tonic can keep up sustainability
