Version 3.0, officially the Enter the Panchaku Update, and also known as the Legendary Update, is a major update to Dead Cells that was released on the 3rd of August 2022 to PC, on the 7th of September 2022 for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and the Nintendo Switch, and on the 29th of November 2022 to iOS and Android.

Important features[edit]

  • New Weapon: Panchaku
    • Two pans tied together by a string, the perfect DIY weapon to tear through the island!
    • Crits on enemies facing you.
  • New Outfit: Bobby Outfit
    • A new outfit inspired by the Beheaded's design from the Dead Cells trailers, flaming head included.
  • New crossover content with Soul Knight:
    • Those features were already in the Mobile version of Dead Cells, we just brought them over to PC and Consoles!
    • Weapon: Magic Bow, fires 5 slowly-moving, homing arrows.
    • Outfit: Knight's Outfit, inspired by Soul Knight's character of the same name.
    • New lore room in Prisoners' Quarters to unlock the blueprints!
  • New Custom Mode Option: Legendaries Only
    • Turns all weapons found in the run into legendary ones.
  • You can now pet your Pets when you are in transition areas, by holding interact next to them!

We completely reworked how Legendary Weapons work!

  • Removed the double stat scaling, but kept the colorless status. They now scale on your highest stat only. It was mostly overpowered, rather counter-intuitive (you had to split stats whereas you should do the opposite in non-legendary situations) and not really fun (just adding more damage on top of your damage).
  • Added a unique Legendary Affix to all Weapons. A Legendary Weapon will always have its Legendary Affix on top of its normal rolled ones. You can find a list of all the Weapons and their respective Legendary Affix below.
  • Added new Double Stack Legendary Affix, which doubles the number of stacks applied by the weapon. (Things like poison, fire, etc.)
  • Added new Global Shield on Kill Legendary Affix.
  • Added new Better Secrets Legendary Affix, which upgrades the quality of secrets found in the ground or walls by one tier.
  • Added new True Evil Legendary Affix, deals triple damage but locks out the rest of the loadout as long as the weapon is equipped.
  • Added new God Slayer Legendary Affix, increases the crit multiplier of the weapon's last hit.
  • Added new Death Root Legendary Affix, roots nearby enemies on kill.
  • Added new Mega Crit Legendary Affix, increases crit damage by 75%.
  • Added new Cascading Tomb Legendary Affix, unique to the Tombstone, doom effect can trigger recursively.
  • Added new Rebuild on Kill Legendary Affix, unique to the Broken Toothpick, repairs the weapon on kill.
  • Added new Speed Ball Legendary Affix, reduces the pause time between the attacks.
  • Added new Super Slice Legendary Affix, unique to Queen's Rapier, increases greatly the range of the reality slices.
  • Added new Fire on Hit Legendary Affix, puts hit enemies on fire.
  • Added new Double Bullets Legendary Affix, doubles the number of projectiles shot by the weapon.
  • Added new Triple Bullets Legendary Affix, triples the number of projectiles shot by the weapon.
  • Added new Golden Damage Legendary Affix, buffs the weapon's damage based on the player's current gold count.
  • Added new Stun Shield Legendary Affix, stuns any enemy parried by the shield.
  • Added new Double Speed Legendary Affix, projectiles shot by the weapon go twice as fast.
  • Added new Echo Legendary Affix, replays a grenade's explosion a second time.
  • Added new Bigger Explosion Legendary Affix, increases a grenade's explosion radius.
  • Added new Ice Walker Legendary Affix, unique to Ice Armor, the created armor never expires.
  • Added new Super Back Damage Legendary Affix, greatly increases the damage when hitting enemies in the back. | Update 30.1

Balancing[edit]

  • Hard Light Sword and Pistol: slight damage buff to the sword and attack speed buff to the pistol
  • Queen's Rapier: the delayed slice hits sooner
  • Maw of the Deep: attack speed buff
  • Wrecking Ball: first and last attack are faster
  • Leghugger: now jumps on a nearby target before launching its reactivation attack + keeps its growth state across instances of the object in a run
  • Gilded Yumi: charge time slightly decreased + now crits reliably on Mama Tick (to be consistent with Impaler)
  • Killing Deck: damage buff on the first 2 attacks
  • Hand Hook: now also crits when the thrown enemy hits another entity
  • Greed Shield: can now trigger once per enemy every 10 seconds + damage buff
  • Frantic Sword: crit multiplier is now inversely proportional to your life (when at or under 50% max life)
  • Abyssal Trident: slight damage buff
  • Shrapnel Axes: slight damage buff
  • Pollo Power: now fires 1 more egg + damage buff
  • Smoke Bomb and Grappling Hook: scaling heavily nerfed. It was scaling exponentially.
  • Lightning Bolt: now crits one tick earlier and damages you 1 tick later
  • Spiked Shield: crit damage buff
  • Hokuto's Bow: procs less often + damage bonus nerfed
  • Sonic Carbine: damage nerf
  • Rapier: damage nerf
  • The Boy's Axe: damage nerf, can't roll the Extra Ammo affix anymore and can't be affected by Ammo mutation.
  • Hunter's Grenade: no longer provides stats
  • Crusher: its slow is now less effective on bosses
  • Maw of the Deep: its root is now less effective on bosses
  • Bladed Tonfas: slight nerf of the crit multiplier
  • Lacerating Aura: cooldown now starts at the end of the effect instead of starting at cast
  • New Crit condition for the Crowbar: now also crits on "monster" enemies (non-humanoid, non-mechanic). It still keeps its old crit condition as well, this is not a replacement.
  • Increased damage of the Fire Trails affixes (projectile and running).
