Dauntless: What Are Cells And How Do They Work?

Cells are an incredibly important part of Dauntless, but it's important to not confuse them with Perks. Perks are the benefits granted by Cells, weapons and armor. Perks have 6 tiers, and each will increase its effect. To reach Tier 6 for Perks, you'll need to combine multiple sources of that perk across your entire kit, as by default a single piece can only reach Tier 3. 

Where Cells are concerned, you gain these through breaking open Cores at a Core Breaker, many of which are scattered throughout Ramsgate. When you've broken open a Core, and depending on its rarity, you'll receive Cells. Cells can only be equipped into a weapon or armor slot, they provide a variety of buffs, and will allow you to stretch your kit Tiers to higher levels when you increase their Tier.

Combining two Tier 1 Cells will result in a Tier 2 Cell. Combining two Tier 2 Cells will result in a Tier 3 Cell. Combining two of the same Cell will create the same Cell at the next highest Tier. Combining two different Cells from the same class will create a random Cell from that class. Combining two Cells from different classes will create a random Cell from any class.

There are a total of 5 different Cell types, all with a different focus, and with armor sets having different slots for them. Cell types include: Power, Defence, Mobility, Utility, and Technique. 

Power: The go-to Perk and Cell which offers pure damage output.   Defence: Defensive in nature, these set out to mitigate Behemoth damage under specific circumstances. Mobility: Allowing you to avoid attacks or regain Stamina quickly. Particularly useful with the Pike.  Utility: Specific in nature, these tend to significantly improve a weapon and/or an effect for greater value. Technique: Similar to Power, only more focused on specific circumstances and/or effects.

As with all our guides, here's a complimtenary video from RevvyRad, giving a further overview.
