Tactics Build Tips | How to Not Suck at Dead Cells | Part 4 

Im a 5 BC player and this is a really solid video for “beginners” just everyone remember that some of these things change when getting on higher bosscells like how careful you have to be and the mutations specifically, love the content tho :)

Y’all might wanna look for the Wave of Denial when using the tactic build, it’s a pretty good tactic power :D

Just watched your series. Thanks so much

Loved the series man!

My first win was with the electric whip and it worked really well.

To be honest,when i use tatics i prefer to pick up my turrets using the homonculus rune and destroy every single enemy with my turrets from far away without taking a single damage,when i am against bosses i use 2 turrets and keep evading every attack(i normally used something to freeze an enemy,a bow and 2 turrets,now i use an freezing weapon/ability with a shield and 2 turrets (sorry for the bad english,i don't practice it that much

I just bought dead cells on Nintendo switch, and your videos help me to understand the deferent type of builds, you have a new subscriber now :D, and I hop your channel grow more because you upload a really nice content and with good quality, keep it up.

I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers this is amazing!

Great series!!!

i got my second boss cell today, with an infantry bow, colorless cudgel, a heavy turret and a double crossb-o-matic edit: it was in mobile btw so 1.1 version. i was still playing with a controller though

Valmont whip. Maybe a nod to the Belmont family from Castlevania!

One thing worth noting with the electric whip buff is that they now have affixes that give damage boosts to the shock effect. If you have a build like this the electric whip is pretty viable against bosses.

I love using acrobatipack with Hokuto's bow stored in it and then just doing DoT with status effects. See that health bar melt while you just have to make sure you dont get hit.

I have to agree that building around the owl is its complete different thing, I quite often end up getting the rampart shield for that brief parry invincibility period because quite frankly, I tend to get hit way more often due to me missrolling than missing a parry, find your own build that suits you the most, I play around the own with rampart and the spartan shoe if possible, it may not be strong on ts own but the spartan shoe is not exactly meant to be a boss killer, it´s a trash (mob) killer with its knockback, knock to wall damage and enemey fall damage

omg, thanks so much for these dead cells videos I have been addicted to this game around 300 runs right now I'm struggling with the hand of the king and all the videos I found so far have been outdated since the 1.9 update thanks for all the tips

I just started recently and got stuck at 1BC for a while, but with my trusty quickbow I + ; aspect was poison on damage. I just wrecked the shit out of everything and even got the achivement for the Concierge no hit.

Quick bow is my favorite too.

Thanks for the videos. I am just starting and looking for something helps the beginner. I am lost on what Mutations to take when just starting. I also found that if I get to that area I locked out of finishing up the first area. It is all getting a bit confusing.

I got my first hand of the king kill with a tactics build so would recommend

I remember when the lightning whip was absolute garbage. I'm always surprised at how solid it is now. The Quick Bow is my absolute favorite bow - the stream of dings is just too satisfying. I just wish the ones I find had a bit more damage...

Lol the build at the start of the video is the same build I’ve been using except I use quick bow instead of parry shield

I actually got my first boss cell using the electric whip + The frost staff (idk the english name) so It is very viable if you can get some synergy from your traps (like extra damage to electrified targets)

ty

i love how there are not much spoilers

Electic whip op as hell, just add a freeze blast and parting gift whenever you kill an enemy and you're untouchable lol.

I died at 1:40 when he didnt sell the turkey

No mention of the freeze builds? Tactics + Freeze enabled my first playthough in DC

Ok so tatics. Theres only one build you'll ever really need. Poison damage over time. Get the alchemic carbine and the parry shield. On top of that some turrets that do extra dammage on poison enemies. Or for bosses a wolf trap. It works well, even at 3-5 boss cells

It may seem obvious but, Turrets are your bestfriend for tactics Especially that penetrates all enemies for a easy clear

5:56 BOI the dmg

Fun fact: Arrows that pierce still count as “stuck”

Magic Missiles + Alchemic Carbine = killing enemies off screen :D

i have a build rate it Electric whip (deals 70% mode ramage to poisoned enemys) tripple shot bow thing (every arrow explodes into a poison cloud)

I'll admit it. I clicked because of the thumbnail

6:50 i actually managed to get one on my second day of playing, but i kinda died so i lost it ;(

you remind me of gaijin hunter, one of my favorite guide makers for monster hunter, thanks for this series :D

Let's be honest, the electric whip was useless before the buffs

I somehow managed to beat the hand of the king on my tenth run being carried by the electric whip

Idk why first time i played dead cells months ago i beat the hand of the king on like my 4th playthrough But i got it again a week ago im on like my 25th playthrough and i still cant beat him

Speaking from the future here, been playing for about a week, I JUST beat 1bc, and for both this one and the previous, I used the electric whip, which I absolutely adore. For 1bc, I found a completely cheese build, with the Ice Bow, corrosive cloud, and wings of the crow. Honestly, wings of the crow seems kind of broken, because I was using it to get above the Hand's head, and for the most part,he wasn't attacking at all due to me not being on the ground. Combine that with corrosive cloud and hitting him with my whip (with appropriate modifiers), I was able to completely cheese him. Now, I know that the difficulty really spikes from 1 to 2, so I'm going to see how long this holds up 😄

Will you make a tip video for bc5?

pray to your shield xD

Loved this series p.s I found a way to have checkpoints. I really only use it on bosses

Everyone else: pick the shield instead of the bow Me: picks both the bow and shield and makes the bow my primary

I just made it to the hand of the king for the first time with 2 bc with a tactics build. The run itself was very smooth but the hand of the king destroyed me in seconds because his arena is so small and there was no room for me to hide :(

question, im a newbie to dead cells and i just can't seem to beat the concierge without getting hit by his red aura thing, how do i do that?

Dead cells noob/new fan here…What does BC mean? Loving the game but damn it’s brutal. I smashed through hades and beat the game multiple times and caught on fairly quickly, but this one is more intimidating, and seems to be kicking my ass a bit more, but it definitely has that feel to it, that makes the defeats not feel tedious and has me ready to jump right back in and try a new build and see what unlocks we will achieve

well no actually my first ever time i played the game (at least as far as i remember) i picked up the shield and started parrying left right and center i didn't even use the roll (or whatever it's called) xD just parrying seamed better now i am at 2 bc (after knowing i should use the dodge and take my time and stay at 1 scroll type (except in the first area i used to get the timed doors then stopped then now when i see that i work get the kill streak and got the 2 scrolls of power and found the area i want i just get for the timed doors)) which happened a lot yesterday xD what these are a lot of words

still waiting for the part where i dont need shields

I'm... confused. You mentioned that some blueprint is hidden to the left of where you start or on the right of stilt village... isn't that unreliable info? This is a Roguelike, so the areas are randomized, right?

brutality build and ice shards your welcome
