I actually created this build in 5BC so... yes it DOES work at the hardest difficulty... I hitlessed the spoiler boss with it... thumbnail was fascinating to create and used an AI generated background and a LOT of photobashing in my editing software XD cool system to test out though... learned a lot
I've got to say, even if you did do it in 5BC the video is still a lot more credible when, you know, you're not playing on the easiest difficulty haha. It's also a better way to showcase when the enemies have actual health, since you have more BONKBONKBONKBONKBONK footage.
I've played with this build and created on my own without watching someone else recommend the items. I can say I'm proud but at the same time all I did was figure it out and then the game does the rest for me. Easy 5bc wins.
This is basically Hotline Miami: the build. The bat is literally from that game and biker uses similar knives as throwables in the first game. And nearly everything is one hit there too. This is the best crossover so far.
I'm always so relieved when I find a bat in my runs, because if I happen to be floundering without a specific build, I can just turn my brain off and vomit absurd damage
Hind . Second weapon are useless. I play just with shield in offhand. The art of parry can be used in brutality and survival. I used a bat with shield build. Also when survival always use tonic
Despite the enemies you mentioned being immune to stun, those same enemies are not immune to root (except for Giant, but I'll have to check because I swear Phaser root works on him). So technically the bat is still broken against them since it crits on stunned and rooted enemies.
They didn't nerfed this build, and I'm so glad of it. Everytime I force the game to give me Throwable Objects + Bat just to have fun and bonk the shit out of every boss in this game
I'm glad this is a thing someone who's WAY better at this game than I am said. I thought the hyperlight sword and blaster was the best weapon until I found this bat. Bonk bat busted
@Syrus Alder always have access to crits. They ate suppose to be played starting at range, then close up (playing the weapon as intended gives you those crits) does really solid damage, and you can do more damage by shooting your intended target more. Good against groups with careful play, good against bosses cause all of your shots will end up in the boss
Dead cells is the indie game to end all indie games. Half life references, collabs with other indie games (such as terraria, RoR2, Hallow Knight, Hyper Light Drifter, and Hotline Miami), it's a roguelite so it's addictive as heck, very funny moments throughout, and of course moments equally as frustrating as getting crushed by a boulder in terraria.
This is literally just scout from TF2 before the sandman nerf. this is an elaborate reference to a time when you could throw the flying guillotine and hit someone with the sandman ball and do critical damage only the sandman was the thing to cause the stun and the flying guillotine was the one to do the critical hit
I know this might be asking much, but can you do individual videos going over each biome in the game, enemies, puzzles, and the accompanying boss? It'd be pretty cool to learn more about each area, and frankly I don't have the brain cells to go read a wiki, I prefer to have everything told to me in insults by someone who is at least half competent.
Believe me, if you haven't played the game yet, DON'T, that is ofcourse if you would like to remain same but if you don't care about your sanity, please do play the game, it's awesome
@@ethanhostetler4007 I was mostly clueless too till about 3BC when I finally got fed up of randomly getting in those stupid lore rooms expecting actual Items so just searched on youtube for dead cells lore, it both explained the story and the different biomes, not the weapons though, that you would have to search for
...I... have never seen the Concierge be bullied that hard since I was able to make a pure "Floor is Lava" build and just watched as he killed himself on an arena of blue fire. And here I thought the Bat was underpowered. Turns out I... was _VERY_ wrong.

@@kamuikadet6538 @deadbymeme2311 you guys ever got pain free again? It’s been 1 year of of physical therapy and sport for me, but I still feel a slight soreness e.g. when moving my arm to my back
After two months, I have beaten 0-4, 5bc twice, defeated the true final boss, and got the true ending using this. Thank you Windette. (btw I always come back.)
Phaser has a hidden feature that roots the enemy you phase yourself to. Pair that with wolf traps and a shield and you're basically untouchable while bonking enemies (including elites and bosses) to oblivion all the time.
The bat also works on rooted targets as well, if I remember correctly, so the enemies that don't stun are taken care of. Plus there's a root grenade in survival as well, so...
To make things better, Dracula's initial form can be stunned while his teleport-heavy moveset makes rooting him impossible. If you go after him and he doesn't delete the shop, you're better off with double stun grenades, which are also useful against his final form's minions if you ran out of ammo on your throwable objects in the first round.
You could have named the vid just plain 'BONK' and we still would have understood and watched it. Still mad I only saw the upload now but happy at the same time to have seen what you had been doing the last weeks keep it up Windy. Know that we idiots love you and the content you make. I hope to catch the next stream in your new place. Lot’s of love Windy, stay healthy and give Zag and toothlees some pets
"Do you have any idea? Any idea,what this is referring? If you're from where I'm from,you'd be drowning in crits. Okay,the malaise grows,you'll go flying when you get hit but brother,I got the sandman and cleaver combo and with that,I'm a force of nature" -TF2 Scout
Phaser is also great for this build, it doesn’t expressly say it but it stuns enemies too. Using heart of ice and instinct of the master of arms you refill the phaser instantly. You can then spam the two to teleport around dealing guaranteed crits
Even after a whole year i still use this build, it's just that good, the only things i really change are the wolf traps for Root Bombs and keep the Stun Grenade
im a beginner and the bat + stun and root grenade build is what got me through my first completed run just a few days into playing. i LOVE the bonk build
I didn’t know about this variant But is preaty cool, you got me in here and I’m enjoying this dead cicle till my first boss cell. Thanks for all the fun and insults
discovering Windette gives me a second mentally deranged speed demon I can watch since Caddicarus's upload schedule is as consistent as my test results :)
Been loving this build. Thank you. One nit: I think it makes more sense to go Brutality than Survival, especially on higher BSCs. The reason being having more health doesn't help that much since enemies damn near one shot you anyways so having mutations like Combo scale with your scrolls makes more sense.
The baseball bat also works on rooted targets, meaning you can destroy every enemy, my build for the root class is the same weapons but I've rearranged the skills to the root grenades and bear traps, mutations are master of instinct, heart of ice and combo
Thank you for this build. I literally spent 3 years frustrated, not every single day lol. on 3bc. Thanks to this build I finally got to 4bc just the other day.
After watching your videos you encouraged me to download this game. I literally just got into dead cells yesterday. Bonk is very high on my list of things to do. (P.S: you explain stuff SO WELL! Seriously. If you can explain this to an idiot like myself! You are a verified miracle worker. TAKE MY SUB!) (P.P.S:do you still read most of your comments?)
Windette feels like your good uncle who sometimes make fun of you yet still help you sometimes and leave the rest up to you to try to improve yourself while making wacky joke.
I've never watched any gameplay of this game, don't understand most of what's happening and for me THIS will now be what I refer as the "normal experience" for this game. and I love it.
bro, i literally could not, and i mean could NOT, beat the hand of the king whenever i get to his fight. But this build, with this build i was practically beating him without getting hit
Another bonk Sim is panchacku. I love those pans,the same crit condition as vorpan,combined with speed,it allows you to do marvelous things,I practically sppendran hand of the king
Ah, yes. The bat and cleaver combo transcends even tf2 itself and has gained the power to travel into other games. *IT IS THE END FOR YOU ALL, MORTALS*
If you use wolf trap, heart of ice, and the one neutral mutation that you get immediately which isn't the one time you don't die one then you can use wolf trap on the enemies that don't get stunned (mainly the bosses) and attack them because the bat works on rooted enemies as well and also bonk restores lots of wolf trap time
I actually created this build in 5BC so... yes it DOES work at the hardest difficulty...
I hitlessed the spoiler boss with it...

There be bats hiding in the ceiling
We need more of explained in insults so we can send it to our friends/show it to them and see their hopeless reactions 🙃

I knew the Sandman + Guillotine combo could never die... it simply took on a different form
This build ALSO stuns, sooooooooooo
*Meet the scout theme starts playing*
YOOOOO THROWBACK TO TF2
my brain never registered this... wtf
Lmao, i was about to write the same thing, i even thought tf2 had a secret cross over that i didn't know about
Hand of the king be like, “Overconfidence is a slow and insidious ki-*BONK*”
hahahahaha
Success so clearly in view... or it is merely a trick of the light?
Mortality clarified in a single (thousand) blow(s)
It's good with a shield instead this useless second hand weapon. The only second hand weapon i use is shield to parry

@@Windette tbf, Boy's Axe is a great way to root.
It also works on frozen enemies, although it doesn’t say so.
@@xavierbehrens3015 It does not work on frozen enemies
@@guavabobai think they're referring to how breaking a freeze has a high chance of inflicting stun.
8:01 "but honestly that place is... eugh" i love his voice when saying "eugh" lmao
im making this comment after the DLC had dropped i think the only enemy that cant be rooted or stuned is the giant
DLC final boss phase two cannot be stunned or rooted
I did not expect the bat to be capable OF THAT. Great video as always!
9:20 there is something so incredibly funny about him just absolutely going to town on the boss‘ head. 😂😂
I successfully got my 3rd and 4th cells with the bat, cudgel shiel, wolf trap, and crusher equipped for both runs. That thing is legitimately insane
