Understanding Stats: Brutality, Tactics, Survival

In Dead Cells, your character's power is primarily determined by three core stats: Brutality, Tactics, and Survival. Each stat not only boosts your damage with specific weapon types but also significantly increases your maximum health. Understanding how to acquire and prioritize these stats is crucial for building an effective character and surviving the challenging biomes.

Stats are increased by collecting various Scrolls of Power found throughout your run. These scrolls come in several forms:

  • Scroll of Power: Adds one point to one of the three stats. Found in scroll vats, enemy drops, cursed chests, and Challenge Rift chests.
  • Assassin's Scroll: Adds one point to either Brutality or Tactics. Found in scroll vats and enemy drops.
  • Minotaur's Scroll: Adds one point to either Brutality or Survival.
  • Guardian's Scroll: Adds one point to either Tactics or Survival.
  • Epic Scrolls of Power: Adds one point to all three stats. Found in scroll vats in Daily Runs.
  • Scroll Fragment: Every 4 fragments collected combine to give a Scroll of Power. Found on pedestals, enemy drops, and bosses.

Each point invested in a stat contributes to both your damage output with associated gear and your overall health pool, making stat management a key element of character progression.
