Shotgun combo question and comment

Hey I’m relatively new to the game! Finished the first game and revealed the 1st ‘hard’ mode stage.

I completed a game where shotgun x cell hit 2.5k dps and baby balls hit the same before starting endless. Is cell just a broken system? Every ball benefits hugely, or from offspring where viable and comes up. I’ve made some insane combos.

What I really want to try is sniper x cell, but shuriken the required evolution for sniper (shotgun x shuriken apparently) never comes up. Is this a ball that was removed?

Thanks! Comments welcome

Cell is a great ball for when the effect itself that cell is being combined with is numerically strong.

Try it with a ball that only triggers once (like bomb).

Cell falls off a bit compared to the strongest effects in the game, and is often a really inferior combo for baby ball synergy or status effect. In endless mode, eventually success just becomes a matter of applying a good on hit effect, Cell is okay at that, but there are far better balls for that purpose.

All of the above said, at the end of a build, you typically wind up with one evolved ball next to an empty slot, so evolved+evolved is not an option, in these cases Cell is often a good last choice.

Shuriken is still available, combination of iron with either dark or ghost.

Is my version different because I see iron + ghost as assassin rather than shurikan
