Dead Cells Mutations Guide: Here's How You Can Choose the BEST Mutations for Your Build

[@redkushpurplehaze]

How do you only have like 6k subs? This is blasphemy. Utter blasphemy. Your content is perfection, script, visuals, music, voice - immaculate. Keep it up man, love it.

[@DisappointedGiant]

Wow, thank you! Much appreciated. Glad you've been enjoying the channel. :)

[@markymarkeaton]

I’ve only beaten 0BC and am working through 1BC so I really appreciate your videos! Thanks for creating great content for a great game

[@DisappointedGiant]

I'm glad the videos have been helpful for you. Good luck with 1BC!

[@CubanB47]

Me, too! I still have a couple of things to unlock from the collector before I try 1BC, but these videos give me confidence.

[@Dedus_Chellius]

@@CubanB47 I’m sorry but it gets worse… - You can make it easier by finding weapons and skills you like with the same color/stat - Shields are your friend - Choose one scroll stat (brutality, tactics, or survival) and stick with it because damage is exponential - Get weapons and skills that work well together (face flask + vengeance mutation) Good luck, I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!!

11:34 The best mutation of all Disengagement my beloved

Your voice is sooo nice to listen too, it's honestly incredible. Thanks for the great vid!

My favorite mutations lately have to do with the Hokuto bow. It used to BE the meta back in the day, but after the nerf a lot of people forgot about it. With Barbed Tips, and the changes to networking it's become ridiculously strong again, even by itself. Barbed tips procs the Hokuto effect. Networking procs the effect on other enemies with the mark (make sure you get the pierce affix). Add in something like the fire brands and electrodynamics and you can just shoot once, run, and everything around you dies. It's pretty easy to get poison on hit with the hokuto or boomerang (which can be backpacked with acrobatipack) to add to the DOT.

[@DisappointedGiant]

It's nice to see some love for Hokuto! Sometimes items get nerfed and people just totally forget about it, which is a shame since it's still so good. Alchemic Carbine got a nerf but I still use that, too. Your build/mutation choices are great. While I was waiting for my videos to render earlier I had a run that used Hokuto's Bow, Boomerang, Electrodynamics, and Swarm (which is oddly strong with extra DOT). Perfect timing for this comment!

[@xkidmidnightx]

@@DisappointedGiant oh yeah, it’s great with swarm too. The owl is awesome for procing it too. I was thinking about a big brain run with hokuto, tactical retreat, crows foot and frostbite. Definitely not optimal but could be fun. But yeah the hokuto, firebrands, electrodynamics with those mutations is even cheesier than bat builds 😂

[@DisappointedGiant]

@@xkidmidnightx Ha! Nice and cheesy but with 0% of the bonk.

[@dandimit8463]

Keep going! You deserve more subs and you will get them.

[@Hansimglable]

Ths dude deserves way more views. Well structured and produced content and listen his voice😅

[@danielsan0912]

If i had to choose what combo is the best (for me) it is melee paired with predator. That makes the game so easy especially in later biomes. Melee will allow me to easily defeat a enemy witout being hit and predator lets me attack a enemy before they noticed me. Slap on Combo for extra damage. Great video as always.

[@DisappointedGiant]

Hell yeah! Those are so clutch in a Brutality build. By the time you get to Sepulcher it can feel like a free win. Nice to hear from you, man. Hope you're doing good, hope you're playing Dead Cells! :D

[@IIModestoII]

Loved the video ! Editing, scripting and soundtrack are amazing as always !

[@DisappointedGiant]

Thank you, meu amigo!

[@chasarch6706]

Necromancy is what has gotten me through 5bc.

[@jdavis6053]

You are freaking awesome. I’d watch live streams of you playing dead cells since I’m unemployed right now lol. Keep up the great work.

[@DisappointedGiant]

Thank you! I hope to get another stream going soon so hopefully you can make it.

I didn't know open wounds scaled with any colour. I'm going to have to start utilizing that.

[@Vitorlourenco-zu5lk]

Tnx for the guide. As a new player, I am learning a lot from your videos man

[@w0lfleader123]

Hey he put my comment in the video! Appreciate the video DG!

[@DisappointedGiant]

Awww yeah. Thank you for the comment and suggestion!

[@dumbvillage9253]

9:35 okay i didn't know if this interaction if there wasn't a cooldown on parry heals this would have been kinda crazy

[@nico-3551]

I do not like to use disengagement cuz for me things gets way too easy with it, but I cannot live without gastronomy XD

[@Pererogatist]

I've been waiting for the next disappointed giant video! Yes!!!

[@TheOnlyToblin]

I find myself making green runs more often, just because I love the mutations there, even though I'm more of a red player overall. That said...new DG video? Time to chill

[@p4bl1t0_burri70]

Yay new vid!

[@Dedus_Chellius]

Impaler OR Rapier Laser Glaive Powerful Grenade and Cluster Grenade OR Powerful Grenade and Telluric Shock Infantry Bow in the backpack GOATED

[@DisappointedGiant]

Reading this I've realized I've actually never put Infantry Bow in the backpack since I main it so much. Great idea!

[@Dedus_Chellius]

@@DisappointedGiant lol, I would imagine that the Infantry Bow is good with Point Blank but I’m not sure.

[@Dedus_Chellius]

I had a Rapier IV-S with double damage FROM THE START (around 111000 damage for one crit) and beat the collector with it for the first time without taking damage……somehow, and got the final 3 PS5 achievements to 100% the game. The setup was: - Rapier (double damage) - Legendary Glaive - Bloodthirsty Shield (backpack usually) - Face Flask - Corrupted Power - Vengeance - Frenzy - Velocity For Boss fights - Vengeance - Scheme - Melee 31 brutality 5 tactic 6 survival

[@xkidmidnightx]

Oh wow.. 1000+ hours and I didnt know about open wounds being essentially colorless.

[@DisappointedGiant]

Right?! I wish it got the Frostbite treatment and moved to colorless.

[@hakankemalgunel7876]

Very informative video! But what about the new mutations that are for curses? Such as cursed flask?

[@DisappointedGiant]

Great question! I left those out because the update is only in beta and hasn't made its way to console or mobile, so I haven't had a chance to try everything out myself. I also know a lot of folks who come to the channel aren't playing the beta so that may have added some confusion if they saw content they don't have in their game. If/when the update finally gets to consoles I'm going to make a video talking about the items and the curse gameplay mechanics so things will be up to date.

[@hakankemalgunel7876]

@@DisappointedGiant Oh, understood! Nice thought! Lastly, when i watched your skill tier list i couldn't see the collector's syringe. What do you exactly think about it?

[@DisappointedGiant]

@@hakankemalgunel7876 I left that out for spoiler reasons but I enjoy it! I don't use it seriously but sometimes when I'm playing a run for fun I'll grab it on a Brutality build with Combo and will try to roll +60% to bleed and then take Open Wounds. It's a lot of fun to use against bosses like final Dracula and Mama Tick. I'd put it in the "Sometimes" category. It's also a great way to spend your cells on 5BC after everything is unlocked. Thank you for asking!
