Best Weapons in Dead Cells
Ranged Weapons
Hokuto’s Bow – Best Weapons in Dead Cells
At first glance, Hokuto’s Bow doesn’t seem all that impressive, but once you learn how to use its perk properly, you’ll be unstoppable. Hokuto’s Bow marks any enemy that you hit, and they’ll take increased damage for a few seconds. If you kill that enemy quickly, the mark spreads to nearby enemies, in turn causing them to take increased damage as well. If you manage to roll the attribute that lets your shots pierce enemies, you’re all set.
Ice Bow – Best Weapons in Dead Cells
The Ice Bow is one of the easiest weapons to get in Dead Cells, and it’s also one of the very best, top-tier weapons in the game. As the name suggests, anyone hit with the Ice Bow will get frozen, and we all know how ridiculously broken the freeze effect is in Dead Cells. The Ice Bow is very fast, and if you can pierce enemies, this bow will probably carry you to the end of the game.
Marksman’s Bow – Best Weapons in Dead Cells
The Marksman’s Bow requires a bit of finesse to use properly, but it can be very powerful if you’re a patient player. If you’re far away from an enemy, shots fired with this bow will deal critical damage. Personally, I’ve found that it can be very handy if you’re lucky enough to get a stealth amulet, as it lets you eliminate enemies very safely, though somewhat slowly.
Frost Blast – Best Weapons in Dead Cells
Frost Blast is one of the very first weapons you can get at the start of the game, and it’s pretty handy, regardless of which difficulty you’re playing on. It has less range than you might expect, but it’s relatively quick, and is great for dealing with birds.
