Dead Cells v3.4 | Ranking My Top 10 Legendary Weapons

The legendary rework has changed Dead Cells in a big way. What used to be a stat-stick that scaled with your two highest stats, now come with a unique affix that completely set it apart from its normal version. In this personal top 10 ranking video, I'm going to be going over what I believe the most creative legendary items are in version 3.4 of Dead Cells. As always, enjoy the video, and I'll have a showcase coming out in the following days.

The best weapon I've ever found was a legendary flint that had "attacks are always fully charged" so overpowered.

[@captaincarrot9062]

Cursed sword helped me get better at the game by teaching me how to dodge and how to make use of my momentum, and that was before the legendary effect. The best version is the “take 100% damage but deal 100% damage” since you basically only have 1 hit point it’s free damage

[@vdd1001]

The best version is "take 4x damage bur deal 4x damage"

[@TheHeadlesss]

@@vdd1001 doesnt occur in cursed sword

[@Artazix]

​@@vdd1001I once got this affix on a sword that crits on 3rd hit, and it let me kill a giant eye in about 10 hits

[@docomega7862]

​@@TheHeadlesssI once got a inflict / take 300% damage on a legendary cursed sword. To be fair, I think I got it pretty early in the run and had so much money by the end since I spared on everything else that I just rolled forever to get it

[@TheHeadlesss]

its only a legendary affix, @@docomega7862

[@blitzboy2934]

This is actually pretty cool. And I also do feel like I’m finding even more legendaries than I used to. Also the music you are using in the background is absolutely fantastic. Also an arsonist build sounds awesome.

[@1ec]

Being able to commit arson in game AND in real life? Count me in.

[@redmapleoutdoors1192]

Love to see the focus on cool weapons, not just the ones that deal the most damage! Great video!

[@MagusDouken]

SUrprised Death's Scythe didn't get a mention, considering it lets you constantly refresh its effect as you run through the island.

[@mustafakumbasar4686]

Yea its by far the best for clearing biomes

[@marshharrier259]

Nice to see there’s still some dead cells content being made!

[@coffeebreak7668]

Ok literally all your plans for future content has me on board, I'll be excited to see them once each game releases.

[@Nate9-9]

I also like legendary flint, and magic bow. The former guarantees crits and shock wave. The latter, while not too unique, I like the idea of firing 10 arrows at once. Also, while not exactly overpowered, I appreciate the unique concept of the legendary Alucard weapons.

[@Humustopia]

The leg fint carried me on my fist win and bc of that it's my favorite leg

[@baophuhuynh358]

Bro the flint is underated

[@zackmione5524]

Legendary Flint won me 2bc... also, legendary bow just shreds threw boss rush

[@selpak3138]

The legendary flint makes runs on its own lol

[@eannmccurdy1223]

These are awesome! My personal favorite is the legendary Symmetrical lance, simply because it's how i beat 5bc. I picked up wish right before HOTK, then picked up the lance and fought the spoiler boss. When it "does the thing", i just pummel it through its invincibility shield.

[@Nate9-9]

2:30 I like using Wish when I get a time/kill streak door. You can’t necessarily guarantee a specific legendary weapon, but there is more insurance that you get a legendary you like if you get bonus door.

[@camillo3887]

that's actually really nice strat

[@Scroolewse]

imo it's easier to just use the shop. You get a similarly high level weapon and you have a lot of control over what it could be.

[@Nate9-9]

@@Scroolewse fair, but the bonus doors give you immediate use of the Wish mutation, with no cost and no risk of mimics. Granted I see the value of your use of Wish as well.

[@defenestrate7544]

This was a great vid. I've only played w 10 or less legendaries this makes me excited to find more.

[@Tom-vx7qh]

I recently got into the game, and I love the Legendary Starfury. Doubling the falling stars makes clearing rooms of enemies really easy and satisfying, and it's just a spectacle to look at.

[@psychoticape424]

These videos never get old!

[@Florjb0rjTheFloorboard]

Love the Legendary Cursed Sword, used it in my cursed sword run and picked up the "get through the derelict distillery without the barrel launcher" achievement because of it.

[@alexpluskett241]

For some context of the holy water flavor text. In castlevania, Richter had 2 abilities with every sub weapon. The holy water he can throw or alternately for more magic hearts, summon a holy rainstorm to his location. I'm super glad they found a way to keep the L affix balanced and flavorful with the ascetic rain when used!

[@ginsoxx92]

Another thing is that the beheaded does the "points at the sky" pose that Richter does

[@dsijohnson]

Him smacking that worm at 1:53 was hilarious ngl

[@ericsoler4676]

the legendary reworks do make the weapons and abilities shine more, as well as to add a new play style

[@theonetrueignus]

It's hard to say what my favorite is, not knowing as many of the items in as much detail. But one standout to me is the legendary Flint (attacks are always fully charged and deal critical damage), mainly in the sense that I basically never run with the Flint at all unless it's legendary. So it's not so much making a great weapon better, as making a bad (to me) weapon very viable

[@Scroolewse]

You should give the regular Flint a shot. It does a good amount of damage without even using the charge attack.

[@devanshpatil1065]

​@@Scroolewse its speed acts as a player repellent

[@Scroolewse]

@@devanshpatil1065 Do you mean it's too slow for you? Cus if that's too slow you must really hate the other good Survival weapons. I much prefer the fast weapons myself but you gotta give Survival a chance at some point, can't just dismiss a whole class of weapons.

[@theonetrueignus]

@@Scroolewse when I run survival, I prefer weapons like the Broadsword, Symmetric Lance, and Nutcracker. Not to say those are the only ones I'll use, but I prefer those to the ones you specifically have to charge up for crits, like the Flint or the Toothpick

[@devanshpatil5932]

@@Scroolewse I like a lot of survival weapons, but the flint doesn’t pack nearly enough punch to compensate for its low speed like a lot of survival weapons do

[@ncrnmcn]

Legendary Rebound stone has it split into 2 projectiles everytime it hits an enemy, can only happen twice. So 1 rebound stone can theoretically turn into abt 3, and they last pretty long so there's like 3 stones flying around the room. Granted they're only effective in closed spaces, bc the stone goes up first, to the sky

[@Mango-hx1ul]

The flint not being on at least honorarys hurt my feelings, the damage is so insane

[@alexg7282]

Thank you !

[@srikrishna_97]

I do really like the legendary flint, no need to hold for a Shockwave

[@cloakx3640]

Now that I finally finished the game (did it yesterday), I can use aspects to stop the one-shot mechanic of the Cursed Sword (since I don't have to worry about beating the game without getting boss cells anymore). It's open season, baby!!!!

[@Bucket2000]

I love how the machete and pistol can just spawn with only the gun.

[@damnthisisabadname]

LEGENDARY MACHETE AND PISTOL MY BELOVED (Also I go to fractured shrines only for guaranteed legendary)

[@sftnella2953]

One of my personal favorite legendary is the killer deck . It's probably not the most OP legendary weapons but applying random effects on enemies is just so fun and can apply extra damage affixes a lot more easier . Legendary bow and endless quiver is also pretty cool , it's like a innate combo mutation

[@LichD]

I used to hate killer deck, but when I tried it's legendary version and obliterated 80% of Giant's health with only one full combo, it became my favorite one too!

[@R451Ns]

for anyone wanting to try out legendary items and their affixes, there is a setting in custom mode that will make all items legendaries.

[@palos1371]

about the legendary greedy shield, you can watch this only shields run, and the damage comes from that shield, it's impressive how high the damage can go just search "the cursed shield only run"

[@VLMNTI]

Some people may not like Aspects but running Damned with the legendary Cursed Sword is honestly a must if you just want a fun run. You still get locked out of using any other weapon or skill but knowing that you can tank 2 or 3 hits is nice.

[@davidstewart4195]

I ripped through the game with the legendary machete and pistol. I was shocked how good it was!!!

[@shafaf0]

To me my number pne favorite weapon is the dual pan nunchaku's boy how I love slamming my enemies with it and the high hit combo really has it's own vibe

[@The_Abyssal_Oracle]

I like the medusa head the power of the bowling ball compels you

[@SUPERLEAF002]

My favorite legendary weapon is the beginner's bow

[@rafaelsutter982]

Once i got the legendary greed sheild and in the next level i got the philosopher stone. It one shot nearly every thing and absolutey chunked the bosses hp. 10/10 do recomend.

[@lynchie360]

Best affix I've gotten yet is bleeding causes poison in the boss rush mode

[@staryds3313]

Yesterday I beat 2bc for the first time, just because I've got a legendary symmetrical lance, with 2 legendary affixes(idk if it's rare). 300% dmg and goes through shields. Then bassically rolled through an entire game and done flawless HotK

[@ShiningCrimzon]

Just when I drop this game for months it pulls me back in with these updates

[@Scroolewse]

Hey Pseychie I have a video idea for you! It could be called "Analyzing DPS numbers in Dead Cells" and talk about how some numbers for DPS are not quite right/realistic. I think this video would be a good way to prove the point you've made in the past that you shouldn't pay much mind to the DPS numbers, but it does get a little bit into the weeds so you might not want to do it. Examples: King Scepter's DPS is completely wrong because it only accounts for the first hit done every 0.6 seconds. All the two-hit-then-crit combo weapons have a non crit DPS number that only accounts for the first two non-crit hits, in the majority of situations you will just be dealing the crit DPS. The Katana's crit DPS is just exactly the damage of the charged attack (could be wrong about this, just going off the wiki) which isn't actually accurate to the term "damage per second" since the charged attack takes longer than a second. Bonus damage, like the Seismic Strike's shockwave and the wall damage on Spartan Sandles, is not included in DPS calculations. The Sandles for example deal nearly 5x the displayed DPS if every kick in the combo throws an enemy into a wall. There are several more weapons but if you just scroll through the "gear" page on the wiki and investigate any weapon that works a little weird (like Toothpick) you'll usually find some amount of inaccuracy in their DPS.

[@Artazix]

I agree, it would be better if they show the damage every Hit

[@brandon-lee917]

The legendary comb may be comboable with the Tentacle

[@arikrex9978]

the legendary greed shield was used for a shield only run btw

[@TheAterron]

Sad that you didn't mention Firestone with the always charged attack legendary affix. It's so strong with it.

[@findmi2708]

I'm surprised that you didn't include the symmetrical lance, but these are good L affix weapons

[@terylnidk4337]

I grabbed the starting sword, and since i had random starting swords on, id naturally picked it up, little did i know, that it was enhanced with 300% dmg dealt and taken, i was wondering why rats could 3 tap me 😭

[@mamrdevpraze]

Panchuck is my favorite weapon in term dps and crit rate. Too bad you have to face your enemy to get all crit.

[@ivanmikitas8042]

Im just wondering, how do you make your enemies look so pixelated? Im hoping to make mine look like that though I dont know if i can since im on PS5

[@vogothedudepathian3390]

I wish people would use the hotline Miami skin in videos like this so I can easily see the crit numbers.

[@raziel9660]

my favourite change has to be the scythe claws

[@haydentherg3322]

Just had my best run yet. Legendary machete pistol that did +175 damage to frozen Ice shield Next attack +300% damage That was the jist of it, had highs of 26k damage in one attack

[@LehLehich]

Smoke bomb have a annoying quirk that if you kill an enemy with an arrow affix on your weapon, effect doesent refresh.

[@zsiege2009]

In the beginning of the video there’s this white glitch type outfit how do u get it

[@The_Shimp]

Imagine getting legendary greed shield with the item that gives you 75 k gold

[@wesreegaming]

Three words "LEGENDARY ICE ARMOR"!!!

[@bigrock8752]

Legendary rebound stone is my favourite

[@Tophymaster]

Try legendary Serenade. It is awesome.

[@spacebar-vx7ck]

I really hope they don't change alchemic carbine's legendary affix. it's so awesome on it

[@xkidmidnightx]

Realistically the best two for free wins are the flint and the lance. I’d like then to change the alchemical carbine to shoot a corrosive cloud effect. Imagine if it had bleeding and electricity built in. That would be legendary

[@mertcanbolat]

Yeah flint is absolutely broken. I've got my flawless true final boss achievement all thanks to flint 😄

[@jordanpdo1837]

Pistol is the best. Also try the throwing axes. The two axes make A BIG DIFFERENCE. You’ll hit your target everytime and the damage is INSANE. the axe is a heavy hitter already but hard to hit. Now that it’s two axes at same time you’ll always hit with atleast 1 but for some reason both always hit. I beat hand of the king with like 5 throws.. INSANE TRUST ME ON THIS BROTHA

[@Artazix]

What bc? I mean 5 hit is insane to kill hotk And I don't think it's bc5

[@joaquinvega8638]

Legendary flint is fucking absurdly good

[@Nerone882]

[@nathanielwilliams1815]

I kind of have a video idea for you how about you rate the music in this game because I don't think anyone has ever refused to tell what their favorite songs are in this game the point that I feel this soundtrack is underrated kind of so I kind of want to know your opinion what are your favorites

[@nikuluskaradjov3276]

No Flint is a crime xD its crazy op

[@sereneseah8573]

Legendary flint and symmatrical lance are op

[@nimteo]

I don't understand why the studio keep doing balance patch and new things to make the game better in a solo game with no in game purchases, it's so great for the players like when I hear those kind of news It makes me want to replay the game but I've already bought the game, so they won't make any money

[@NoteCat540]

People of the comment section I seek your wisdom. I've been playing this game on a single file for about 2 years and I've completed everything upto 4bc all dlcs up to the break the bank update, but I've been playing it via ahem...unorthodox methods, things happened and the computer I was playing deadcells on got reset and now I no longer have access to the file. It's been about a year since all this happened and I've now bought the game at full price. Is there any way I can find a 4bc file anywhere? I know there are 5bc full completed files on speedrun sites but I want to start where I left off. I know it took you long to read this far so thankyou, I know it's a lot to ask but I figured there's no harm in asking😅
