The Cell

From ARMS Institute, the ARMS Wiki

The Cell is a group of creatures from ARMS. They appear in 1-on-100 mode in waves of 9 or 10. The goal of the fighter is to take out one hundred of them. They also appear in the "Warm-Up" room in Party Match, holding up targets and allowing fighters to practice their punches by taking them out. These enemies are incredibly weak; having no health bar, they can be eliminated with a single attack or by having another fighter thrown into them.

Description

The Cell resemble Helix, but they are gray instead of green and have a much larger mask with one eye instead of Helix's small visor with two. They also do not have his "hair". Despite these differences, they are identical to Helix in abilities and are therefore able to stretch their bodies just like he does to dodge attacks.

The Cell are capable of speech, or at least words in thoughts, as the quotes given in 1-on-100 when playing as Helix are from the perspective of The Cell, despite the fact that Helix, who The Cell are prototypes of, has not demonstrated this ability.

Trivia

  • According to a loading screen message for 1-on-100 mode, the Cell are prototypes of Helix, which would explain their similar appearance and abilities.
  • The ARMS worn by the Cell in the "Warm-Up" room are Bubbs.
  • Though they pass through and destroy other destructible terrain when thrown, throwing one of the Cell into the floor of the Mausoleum will not damage it.
  • Shortly before the release of Hedlok Scramble mode, the Japanese ARMS Twitter uploaded GIFs that used the Cell to demonstrate some of the mode's key features. [1][2]
