## What is Guide for Dead Cells?

Good. Let's make sure this run doesn't end in tears.

Dead Cells Guide is the unofficial companion for mastering Dead Cells, the fast-paced roguelike Metroidvania. Every weapon, enemy, mutation, rune and biome is cross-referenced in one place, so you don't have to alt-tab to a wiki mid-run.

Combat: 9 categories of content, weapons, enemies, mutations, aspects, runes, mechanics, pickups and skills, all searchable in seconds
Weapon details: DPS, combo damage, blueprint locations, scaling and full synergy lists for every weapon in the game
Build planner: combine weapons, mutations and tags into your own loadouts, with space for your own strategy notes
Progress tracking: outfits, items and achievements, logged so your suffering counts for something
Steam Sync: connect your Steam account and your achievement progress updates automatically
Search: find any weapon, enemy or outfit the moment you know what you're after
Works offline, so a dead connection mid-run never costs you a lookup

Built for players who want answers fast without breaking their flow. Save the exact combo that finally got you past that boss.

Dead Cells Guide is a fan-made companion app, not affiliated with or endorsed by Motion Twin, Evil Empire or Playdigious.
