Zombie

One of the first enemies the player meets, and the most resilient to attacks, Zombies appear in many areas and can be deadly in large numbers. They seem to have crystals or small plants growing on their bodies.

Behavior
Zombies have two attacks: a scratch when the player is close, and a lunge when the player is out of scratching range. Both have a long windup and very clear telegraph. When the player is too close the zombie can do a small hop backwards to get out of range.

Strategy
Zombies are the most basic enemies in Dead Cells. Their limited movement and range makes them easy to dispatch, but they can deal significant damage in large numbers, especially with successive Lunges.

Their lunge and scratch attacks can both be parried and rolled through.

The lunge attack can be crouched beneath.

Trivia

 * In previous versions of Dead Cells, the Zombie model was recolored for Grenadiers, Purulent Zombies, and Running Zombies.
