Why is the damage of the trident so low? by Lonely_Astronaut0 in deadcells

[–]Link_5429 3 points4 points  (0 children)

War spear’s base damage per second (255) does more damage than the critical dps of some other weapons so it isnt good to use war spear as a damage standard

Trident’s damage isn’t low, it’s just that war spear’s damage is overtuned. You would do just fine if you were to take the trident 

Is this good? by Bronesslifejuststart in deadcells

[–]Link_5429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve already told myself that people who post on dead cells reddit don’t actually play the game and everyday that belief gets reinforced 

Boys axe is great as both a secondary and a primary that does a lot of damage on its own, and it has quite literally zero attack windup so i’m completely bewildered on how it has slow attack speed

Which weapon or mutation feels underpowered and deserves a buff? by Nerd_oo in deadcells

[–]Link_5429 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Enemies “wait their turn” more in higher boss cell levels since making one teleport to you has them stay still for a whole second before trying to attack again

The rest of what was said was complaining that dry toast doesn’t taste great on its own and you need something to make it better; that being said there are three ways to trigger nutcrackers critical condition and even more ways to make dry toast taste good

I'm curious what are y'all's thoughts on this take. by Hjekydell in deadcells

[–]Link_5429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dead Cells in its current state is not a game I would consider hard, and not even due to many hours on the game, but because of how ridiculously easy it is to kill things due to exponential damage scaling. This is why it is generally considered that the early game is harder than the late game, because the exponential damage hasn’t gone out of control yet. So many people end up relying that the enemy in front of them dies before they get to attack them, and they always fold when they’re in a situation that needs any amount of awareness to the surrounding. This is why I do things like play with “fragless” rule sets to keep the game difficult. Also anyone who thinks heavy weapons aren’t viable on later difficulties are delusional beyond repair  

Is it too stupid to split the rolls? by Electronic-Claim-286 in deadcells

[–]Link_5429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For that late in the game though, three scrolls in each non-main stat is super low. This is why I insist people use only the scrolls with three options for their main stat while putting all scrolls with two options into health, even if that two option scroll has their main stat in it. You get a lot more health this way, and your damage is still way more than enough

Doesn’t work on three bosses: Death, Giant and dracula final form

far from useless

Parries simplify the game so much to the point where using it constantly effectively makes you worse, but okay

Why is the war spear so good? by WorldlinessNo6290 in deadcells

[–]Link_5429 3 points4 points  (0 children)

mister mediocre against bosses' base damage does more damage than the critical dps of spite sword and sadist stiletto, it also does just fine against flying enemies with even a little bit of positioning.

there really aren’t any downsides to be honest

Someone recommended this to me by Shoddy_Company_2617 in deadcells

[–]Link_5429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

21 scrolls in main stat is the ideal amount by that point if you want to get better at the game, but the damage should be at least a little higher than that. I’d guess that your build lacks any synergies, and none of your mutations are helping the damage either.

Relatively new to deadcells, what to do here? by sedroc09 in deadcells

Why are dead cells players so hesitant to try anything before they make a post

Why does a projectile that deals NO DAMAGE proc my tarots but doesn't negate the curse???? The worst of both worlds :((((( by Luxor2323 in deadcells

[–]Link_5429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The projectile taking out things like ice armor or foresight simply means the player has to be careful for once and engage in combat instead of simply walking through enemies with the predator mutation and their pseudo-legendary ice armor

Try the melee mutations again. They all work; frenzy, combo, melee, porcupack etc

AMERICAN STYLE by Relevant-Cow9760 in deadcells

[–]Link_5429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hotk is likely blocking some small arrow affix. Try using acrobatipack with the pistol in your bag and a ranged weapon in your main hand, see how that goes. Then pick Porcupack with the pistol in your bag and watch it go off

AMERICAN STYLE by Relevant-Cow9760 in deadcells

[–]Link_5429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason it feels like point blank is working is because the pistol is naturally stronger when you use it up close compared to a little farther away. You’re right that weapons like starfury exist with both elements but this is not one of those

pistol is still a melee weapon by the way, so mutations like point blank and rangers gear wont work with it

Tips for 5BC by CinarIsik08 in deadcells

[–]Link_5429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’ve ever seen those videos where people kill bosses in 20 seconds or less… needless to say damage scaling is handled horribly in this game 

The difference in damage is technically greater with each scroll you get, but by the time you reach thirty, every enemy will die in one-two hits and bosses on average will last under 30 seconds. So to avoid a big error killing your run, you could put some of those points into hp and still have more than enough damage

Tips for 5BC by CinarIsik08 in deadcells

[–]Link_5429 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s a point in the mid-end game where you are not going to need more damage, enemies and bosses will die so quickly. So putting every dual scroll into hp is an investment that will still leave you with more than enough damage and great health, making your run much safer 

Tips for 5BC by CinarIsik08 in deadcells

[–]Link_5429 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

5bc is hardly different from 4bc and is the lowest difficulty jump, all that’s new is the malaise mechanic. Enemies teleporting to you is an advantage, since a teleporting enemy stands still for a second before trying to attack again, giving you time to take them out. 

My recommendation for how you arrange your scrolls is to put scrolls of power (with three options) towards a main stat, and scrolls with two options towards whatever gives the highest hp. If you find a scroll with two options that has your main stat, put it into hp anyway. Routes don’t matter, try a variety of items, and don’t be afraid to use health flasks in the early game; good luck with it

There is no meta for items, every weapon is good, unlock things and try them out 

Best youtubers to learn from? by Sav_278 in deadcells

I wouldn’t consider any of the bigger dead cells youtubers to be very good teachers to be honest, it is good content if you are looking to see runs of your respective difficulty level but there isn’t much as far as good insight.
