Up until recently I also thought santa water was kinda mid, but when you actually look at the damage numbers it did on the result screen, it seems like the most op weapon ever.
I wouldn't say that Poppea is the best character, but she is definitely one of the really good ones, especially early on. Song of Mana is pretty much like Garlic, except it's stronger, goes further and can be evolved to slow down enemies while increasing it's horizontal reach like ridiculous. The early levels of Song of Mana are usually worse as it's not permanently around, but around level 3-5 (depending on upgrades) it becomes permanent. With more Duration it even hits enemies multiple times. The moment Song of Mana came out it was my Garlic replacement
I might agree with him if I'd experienced the game as intended.. but no !! You and I were craving every update that game had! So I was screaming that the queen is the best !! If my memory is right, queen was there before song of mana. it was weird to watch that video but the game make more sense now idk.. You should really be in the credit dude! 😅

@@MythicAce218 it’s amazing early game, with no upgrades it can melt most early game enemies, which makes it good for getting exp early. With the damage from healing arcana, it’s upgraded version is also a great choice.
@yokaiwatcher8500 imo garlic falls of much later ESPECIALLY with limit breaks. I would just use Leda at or any of the Evo secret characters. And ignoring them pugnula garlic is almost never an option because early game(at least for me) os never a problem for farming exp. And it's Evo is kinda meh it's the same with books. TBF I don't think any weapon os bad. Any weapon cam be good. I just Don't think garlic is THAT good
concetta doesn't have a hidden knockback passive, what you described was just the effect of the 7th arcana: sarabande of healing, which doubles the healing you receive and damages nearby enemies for the amount you're healed everytime you get health back, knocking them back in the process. The reason why it was constantly active is simply because you likely leveled up health regen in the power ups menu, regenerating a tiny amount of health, and thus knocking back nearby enemies despite doing barely any damage, every second
like garlic being broken? agreed. based off my 60 hours of gamplay minus the dlc characters and characters that start with evolution weapons pugnala is 100% the best maybe mortaccio once i get the chaos emerald but idk about that. BUT with limit break literally anything is insane. its so fun to just use 1 weapon and limit break it to the fullest. tho i don't understand how gatti amari is good in anyway shape or form
@@MythicAce218 Gatti Amari is good because each cat can level up for your whole run by eating Floor Chicken, and it does incredible damage in an area that scales incredibly well (in a duration that scales well, too). Every single stat bonus that can affect a weapon affects Gatti Amari, but you want to focus hard on Candelabrador and Spellbinder first because they can eat floor chicken for crit and damage, and get your Luck as high as possible (to reduce the chance they'll attack you instead). If you focus on their strengths and know how to mitigate their weaknesses, they're very good, especially limit broken.
@@MythicAce218not sure if it was patched but Gatti Amari without pre evolution was the singular highest dps weapon in the game. It is a misunderstood weapon because early especially with low unlocks it seems and feels so crap. Sort of the reverse of Garlic which is very helpful for new players and feels op, but later on it is pretty terrible and I basically never take it now
Evolved Santa Water scales with projectile speed and movement speed, by the way... so picking up bracer and wings allows for disgustingly high damage (especially paired with Garlic)
I think Garlic is still technically the GOAT in the game. But in min-maxed builds, the evolved santa water is actually S tier, top 3 for sure. This is due to the fact that in this game, any damage an enemy takes pauses their movement for a split second, so when you take boogaloo of illusions, max the area of the santa water so it covers literally the entire screen. It also acts as an insane slow/stagger field for bosses. (And is also so strong it just insta kills regular enemies at screen edge lol) But in general, every weapon in the game is pretty viable at limit break anyway. There are an INSANE amount of op builds in this game. I watch a YTer named Dex, who does crazy limit break builds. Gets to level 1000+ using singular weapons and basically break the game visually with the amount of stats he is able to put on weapons haha.
If the $5 price tag is too high for anyone (like it was for me at one point) you can get the full game for free on mobile with optional ads, and then if youre interested you can transfer your save data to pc.
Or you can maximize your addiction and play separate saves on PC and mobile. Add Switch into the mix if you never want to leave your room or see your family again! :D
A correction: Poe is actually garbage he gives pickup radius not weapon aoe for lower hp and garlic is already a common enough weapon that you can find it 90% of the time without difficulty. In fact Porta is actually better for garlic because she actually has bigger weapon aoe.
This is honestly one of my favourite games. I've not only fully completed the achievements in the Steam edition, but I've also finished all of the in-game achievements (both the normal and secret ones), and finished all of the DLCs. I have, also, spent way too much time on the mobile version, playing the adventures so much I've finished ascending two of the four level up. It's just a really fun game! Great video by the way!
@@DanteTheEgregore Crimson Shroud is literally anti-Reaper weapon, as it's retaliates with 1% of his health. Pair with infinite corridor and the reaper is dead in 10 seconds.
Little trivia, the evolved Sacred Water, La Borra, is a reference an Italian MEME born years ago in a TV Show, was hilarious 😂 BTW Concetta is a woman.
one thing that i found really funny was i fully 100% this game and recently i started playing the castlevania series and oh my lord this entrie game is such a hommage to castlevania i felt so dumb not realising it but so many characters enemys wepons sound effects and sososo much more are the same and it made me like the game alot more
Bit of a correction, the best evolved item imo so far is the evolved version of the guns, it’s a laser attack that hits multiple directions while spinning, you do need cd reduction and duration increase to make the lasers permanent instead of pulsing but it doesn’t take a lot, the evolved form deals so much damage for the AOE it covers, and you can improve the dps slightly with projectile speed since it makes the lasers turn faster
The "best" ones ard evolved laurel and clock lancet, they're specifically meant to be grim reaper killers. There's a list on /r/vampiresurvivors if you want to delve in to the objectively best ones, ranked by dps/area/ ease of acquisition etc. But the actual best ones are of course the ones that fit you best and are most fun, screw the meta 😊 One of my favourites in single weapon runs is the humble whip. Pairing it with every passive that boosts area plus boogaloo of illusions gives you something amazing. After boosting area for a while, one strand of the whip grows do big it fills most of the screen hitting everything as soon as it spawns. The strobe light of death.
Evolved Bible, Phas3r, Fandango and Javelin are crazy. Probably the best weapons who's names aren't Victory Sword, Infinite Corridor or Cape. Not like balance matters though. But thinking Garlic is a top puck is definitely a newbie opinion, once you get deeper into the levels and modes (like Inverse), it kinda sucks.
For some contex the "Be not afarid looking ass" is basically the Flag of Sicily and fun fact, Poppea in italian mean Busty Lady, and Pecorina mean the pecorino cheese (or the doggy stily position)
12:10 I find Porta Ladonna to be an excellent choice for clearing this extra zone-his cooldown buff lasts for as long as he’s level one. Since you can’t level up in that zone, his lightning ring zaps almost everything well before they get close.
Birds are really easy to underestimate since it often looks like they aren’t doing much. But if you get them evolved to vandalier, they’ll typically top your damage output. In a recent run, the vandalier had 1.77 Million damage while the runner up weapon did a total of 788,000 damage when I had it for longer.
You will be surprised by the DLC with Sammy the Catepillar. A character who is completely busted and will probably roast your computer or xbox if you play him for too long. Because, he starts off with the Golden Eyes, has his might reduced at the start but after it wears off. The main thing with him is that, gold becomes EXP and with Disco Gold... he becomes unkillable and will earn you, with the right weapon setup, as much gold as you like with the caveat that, the game will get laggy. Don't try it on the Switch port. As good and somewhat stable as it is, the game got so laggy that the only way I could even exit the game (yes the lag of gaining levels is that rough) is to quickly get one of the floor items and select option and escape. The DLC is also dirt cheap.
Fun fact: my 1060 TI lasts exactly TWO seconds with Limit Break Sammy and one weapon slot before slowing to less than 1 frame every 5 seconds, thanks to the fact that leveling up a weapon automatically fires it again, regardless of when it was last fired or how many projectiles are already on screen. I actually cannot play that character with limit break or my computer just straight up dies. Good times
Also the fact he uses cheats is legitimately cringe. I lost respect for his review after that. You're not playing VS right if you're skipping past getting the unlocks legitimathtely. He's essentially cheating his achievement run too. Don't care if he's honest about it, he's sabotaging the experience for himself and it's just plain lame.
I have every achievement and it feels almost compulsive to get all the new ones the day they come out. I have no friends that play this as much as I do, so I'm in no competition with anyone. It's just.... Dopamine
Thank you for the accidental guide, I’ve been stuck on the first map when it when was just werewolf and bats. I have trouble beating the first map with the build I always use 💀
original comment felt weirdly braggy so I'm changing it since I didn't like it, but I wanted to say something about the start of this, it's near impossible to beat right as you begin unless you've practiced hardcore for it. not certain if it's been done but as far as I'm aware, near impossible. also the reason the second map is considered easier is because you basically get a free extra passive of whatever the hell you want because you no longer need to pick the empty tome which is the BEST upgrade and almost universally useful and you get a free stone mask without having to choose them with level up stuff. and not certain if this was changed, but there is/was a second condition to evolve weapons. you gotta be past 10 minutes in the run before any chests can evolve weapon. only thing I think had an exception was a certain map, I just can't remember which map it is. thinking about the last bit I wrote i wanna scratch it out. any uncapped character scales beyond infinity so they are best. revives suck in comparison to that lmao
I realized you probably won't see this since this video is a year old but fun fact the reach lv 50 achievement for the Arcana cards used to be lv 99 in a earlier version before they reduced it
There is a dlc character Sammy, he starts with Vicious Hunger evolved Gatti Amari, that's straight broken for gold farming. He gains xp on gold pick up. So Disco of Gold for healing , Sarabande of Healing so your healing is doubled and does AOE damage, and Wicked Seasons is just stacking curse, greed, luck, and growth indefinitely or until you get bored. I've farmed billions of gold in runs...it got so bad for game performance they did an update to help with how laggy it would get.
So, for gold farming without DLC, you actually want to use inverse mode (so you can buy an arcana from the merchant) and take Wicked Season and Disco of Gold right at the beginning. Or, if you’re limiting yourself to one weapon, take Wicked Season and Silent Old Sanctuary (absolutely GIGANTIC stat buffs for every empty weapon slot, plus some rerolls for good measure), and reroll for Disco of Gold at minute 11. Wicked Season is SUPER important because it allows you to level up crazy high with the +1% growth every 2 levels. You also get +1% greed AND +1% luck every 2 levels as well. If you’re using limit break, the added curse is literally just more enemies to farm and doesn’t hurt you in any way. Once you have enough gold to pump a couple thousand golden eggs into a character (read: Big Trouser) at the merchant, you LITERALLY cannot die, even if you wanted to, unless you go straight over to a ring or metaglio and slam your face directly into a guardian’s chest cavity repeatedly. With endless mode, it’s entirely possible to leave the game going overnight (after reaching the point where you can say “random always” for limit break upgrades) and come back in the morning to a run that very well might still be going and a couple hundred million gold. Really good video, and you found a lot of very solid strategies on your own, which is actually pretty impressive for how simultaneously complicated and vague this game is sometimes. Literally the only issues I had with my couple hundred hours of gameplay were the fact that you got way too attached to King Bible and that you never learned the power of Wicked Season. I also watched and thoroughly enjoyed your Celeste videos. Keep up the good work! P.S. the absolute most “optimal” gold farming build for trouser involves letting the cats eat 25 chickens before evolving them, as well as taking Skull O’ Maniac and maxing Torrona’s Box and the Gold Ring and Metaglio Right to absolutely skyrocket your curse. It’s actually crazy how little curse matters to you after several hundred levels of limit break, but I also totally understand being wary of maximum curse at the beginning. Once you get a few runs in with it, though, you’ll learn that there was never really anything to fear if you maxed out the power-ups page. I recommend checking out some gold/golden egg farming guides for various characters, there are several really good ways to become an actual billionaire in this game (and yes, it does track gold past 10 million, it just doesn’t show you how much you actually have until you spend enough to be below 10 million again) and most of them only require either 11 or 21 minutes of actual gameplay (depending on whether they are 3 arcana or 4 arcana setups), and then you can just go do whatever else for several hours. This game is turbo broken in all the best ways possible
1. you say with trouser so is there a better one without him? 2. compicated? this game is VERY simplistic....and thats what's so fun about it!!! I don't have to think. all i gotta do is move and think about upgrades a little and watch myself become god also whats wrong with king bible? its great(tho there are better options) i think getting too attched to garlic is the problem if anything.
@@MythicAce218 great questions! Sammy is the best gold farming unit because of how his buffs and interactions stack on each other, but if your pc isn’t an absolute beast it will spontaneously combust within seconds of starting a run (with a lot of golden eggs, at least). The core of the game is very simple, but learning the good combos and synergies to get through the hardest content without golden eggs can be pretty tricky and take a lot of experience/experimentation. If you just want to see the credits, or just want to watch funny number go brrr, then heck yeah, the game is as simple as you could want it to be. King Bible is very good early in the game, and early on most stages. The problem is that the early game isn’t where you’re concerned about your strength. Your build focus should almost always be working toward end game. A couple exceptions I can think of are the guys that start with Clock Lancet and Laurel, and the girl who starts with Pentagram. Bible (and garlic!) can be a good take on those since their early game is by far their weakest point Hope you’re enjoying the game so far! If you have any other questions I’m happy to answer them
@@arcanelizard4646 Sammy isn't better than trouser for gold farming. No idea where this idea comes from. Trouser has _infinite_ Greed scaling, so no matter what Sammy does, he'll pull ahead in Endless mode. I guess Sammy is better if you have no eggs on Trouser and need to get some quickly. But on long gold runs, Trouser blows Sammy out of the water. And then if you have the Among Us DLC, and have Scientist unlocked, she's even better than Trouser. What's better than +1% greed every level? Try +5% every level (+1% growth and 4% greed is actually more optimal, but I digress. That's still 4x what Trouser gets).
@@bugjams simply put, the idea comes from ignorance. I didn't realize how hard other characters outscale Sammy in endless. Also, was the Among Us dlc even out when I posted that comment? I don't remember when that happened and I haven't been actively playing in a while
It's every level, not just library. It happens when there's so many enemies on screen that the game doesn't have time to update your position quick enough, letting you clip through walls.
This is the only game I found worthy on Apple Arcade and the dopamine hits are REAL. I'm staying strong, but learning it's on PC and Game Pass is not healthy for my addiction! 😅 Wonderful video, great info and quality. instant sub!
A while back I ordered some garlic and onion powder and then made a dip and ate a bag of chips, but probably used way too much of the powders, so felt like a vampire the whole night and next day. So be careful with garlic! Anyways, Vampire survivors is a great game! So simple, and thank god it's 2 D. I get nausea from most open world 3 d games. I downloaded Doom the other day, but couldn't play more than 5 minutes. Hate the look up and down movement. Ended up deleting Doom and same night discovering Vampire survivors. Other simple games I've liked are Inside, Limbo, Planet of Lana, The curse of brotherhood and the Rayman series. Do you have any tips for more simple and fun games?
Picked up the mobile version like a week ago and i was so happy wen the ps versions just dropped out of nowhere. I will probably end up buying this game on every platform i own
3:30 well it only has a chance of happening. And only some chests can evo weapons. Look I know what im talking about, I have 100% compleation, including the DLCs. 9:10 that dameging blast is from the Arcana you start with
Using the Gemini arcana, you get unique copies of the guns (Phiera der Tuphello has Red Muscle and Eight the Sparrow has Twice Upon a Time) which persist after you upgrade the regular guns. The same applies to other weapons affected by Gemini like the birds, Gatti Amari, and Santa Javelin.

12:10 I find Porta Ladonna to be an excellent choice for clearing this extra zone-his cooldown buff lasts for as long as he’s level one.
Since you can’t level up in that zone, his lightning ring zaps almost everything well before they get close.
Birds are really easy to underestimate since it often looks like they aren’t doing much.
But if you get them evolved to vandalier, they’ll typically top your damage output.
In a recent run, the vandalier had 1.77 Million damage while the runner up weapon did a total of 788,000 damage when I had it for longer.
You will be surprised by the DLC with Sammy the Catepillar. A character who is completely busted and will probably roast your computer or xbox if you play him for too long. Because, he starts off with the Golden Eyes, has his might reduced at the start but after it wears off. The main thing with him is that, gold becomes EXP and with Disco Gold... he becomes unkillable and will earn you, with the right weapon setup, as much gold as you like with the caveat that, the game will get laggy. Don't try it on the Switch port. As good and somewhat stable as it is, the game got so laggy that the only way I could even exit the game (yes the lag of gaining levels is that rough) is to quickly get one of the floor items and select option and escape. The DLC is also dirt cheap.
Fun fact: my 1060 TI lasts exactly TWO seconds with Limit Break Sammy and one weapon slot before slowing to less than 1 frame every 5 seconds, thanks to the fact that leveling up a weapon automatically fires it again, regardless of when it was last fired or how many projectiles are already on screen. I actually cannot play that character with limit break or my computer just straight up dies. Good times
Vampire Survivors is such a good game and i love the genre with games like Soulstone Survivors or even deep rock survivor
13:05 Dude i used to put on Ken's theme while playing this game that was perfect.
WE LOVE MINT
dont sleep on santa water and bibel
Trashing on the cats, santa water and The Mask Of The Red Death makes the neurons in my brain go AAAAAAAAAAAA
Also the fact he uses cheats is legitimately cringe. I lost respect for his review after that. You're not playing VS right if you're skipping past getting the unlocks legitimathtely. He's essentially cheating his achievement run too.
Don't care if he's honest about it, he's sabotaging the experience for himself and it's just plain lame.
I have every achievement and it feels almost compulsive to get all the new ones the day they come out. I have no friends that play this as much as I do, so I'm in no competition with anyone. It's just.... Dopamine
bro you finaly remined me of celeste started playing some mods of it and enjoying it tank you
Happy to hear it man! Good luck with whatever hell you’re going through in the mod scene 👍
you should def play some mods with lots of tech as tech is fun to learn
10:18 Think of it as two words said back to back. Fuwala Fuwaloo.
Thank you for the accidental guide, I’ve been stuck on the first map when it when was just werewolf and bats. I have trouble beating the first map with the build I always use 💀
I put this game on my arcade cabinet. It's fantastic.
This video deserves more for all your effort!
i own this game on xbox and its so fun
Thanks man! It is really fun.
original comment felt weirdly braggy so I'm changing it since I didn't like it, but I wanted to say something about the start of this, it's near impossible to beat right as you begin unless you've practiced hardcore for it. not certain if it's been done but as far as I'm aware, near impossible.
also the reason the second map is considered easier is because you basically get a free extra passive of whatever the hell you want because you no longer need to pick the empty tome which is the BEST upgrade and almost universally useful and you get a free stone mask without having to choose them with level up stuff.
and not certain if this was changed, but there is/was a second condition to evolve weapons. you gotta be past 10 minutes in the run before any chests can evolve weapon. only thing I think had an exception was a certain map, I just can't remember which map it is.
thinking about the last bit I wrote i wanna scratch it out. any uncapped character scales beyond infinity so they are best. revives suck in comparison to that lmao
4:21 it's also available on mobile incase you wanted to know that
I realized you probably won't see this since this video is a year old but fun fact the reach lv 50 achievement for the Arcana cards used to be lv 99 in a earlier version before they reduced it
I love this game so much glad I caught the video I love your videos so much I’m so happy that you did this game thanks for the banger content
It’s so damn good dude. I legit was barely sleeping until I got all the achievements.
Castlevania dlc is out. Time to get back to grinding buddy
1:37 Me when i do a Blood Astronomia build (haven't seen the whole video but i'm guessing you're talking about that)
Finished watching, you used it but didn't talk about it
Quick note, the character didn’t have that aura it came from the arcana you had equipped
There is a dlc character Sammy, he starts with Vicious Hunger evolved Gatti Amari, that's straight broken for gold farming. He gains xp on gold pick up. So Disco of Gold for healing , Sarabande of Healing so your healing is doubled and does AOE damage, and Wicked Seasons is just stacking curse, greed, luck, and growth indefinitely or until you get bored. I've farmed billions of gold in runs...it got so bad for game performance they did an update to help with how laggy it would get.
I realized that evolutions existed when i was at the Milk factory 💀
The game is ALSO on Mobile.
And yes I have 100% unlocked all achievements and beat the final boss on both versions. Plus dlc.
So, for gold farming without DLC, you actually want to use inverse mode (so you can buy an arcana from the merchant) and take Wicked Season and Disco of Gold right at the beginning. Or, if you’re limiting yourself to one weapon, take Wicked Season and Silent Old Sanctuary (absolutely GIGANTIC stat buffs for every empty weapon slot, plus some rerolls for good measure), and reroll for Disco of Gold at minute 11. Wicked Season is SUPER important because it allows you to level up crazy high with the +1% growth every 2 levels. You also get +1% greed AND +1% luck every 2 levels as well. If you’re using limit break, the added curse is literally just more enemies to farm and doesn’t hurt you in any way. Once you have enough gold to pump a couple thousand golden eggs into a character (read: Big Trouser) at the merchant, you LITERALLY cannot die, even if you wanted to, unless you go straight over to a ring or metaglio and slam your face directly into a guardian’s chest cavity repeatedly. With endless mode, it’s entirely possible to leave the game going overnight (after reaching the point where you can say “random always” for limit break upgrades) and come back in the morning to a run that very well might still be going and a couple hundred million gold. Really good video, and you found a lot of very solid strategies on your own, which is actually pretty impressive for how simultaneously complicated and vague this game is sometimes. Literally the only issues I had with my couple hundred hours of gameplay were the fact that you got way too attached to King Bible and that you never learned the power of Wicked Season. I also watched and thoroughly enjoyed your Celeste videos. Keep up the good work!
P.S. the absolute most “optimal” gold farming build for trouser involves letting the cats eat 25 chickens before evolving them, as well as taking Skull O’ Maniac and maxing Torrona’s Box and the Gold Ring and Metaglio Right to absolutely skyrocket your curse. It’s actually crazy how little curse matters to you after several hundred levels of limit break, but I also totally understand being wary of maximum curse at the beginning. Once you get a few runs in with it, though, you’ll learn that there was never really anything to fear if you maxed out the power-ups page. I recommend checking out some gold/golden egg farming guides for various characters, there are several really good ways to become an actual billionaire in this game (and yes, it does track gold past 10 million, it just doesn’t show you how much you actually have until you spend enough to be below 10 million again) and most of them only require either 11 or 21 minutes of actual gameplay (depending on whether they are 3 arcana or 4 arcana setups), and then you can just go do whatever else for several hours. This game is turbo broken in all the best ways possible
1. you say with trouser so is there a better one without him?
2. compicated? this game is VERY simplistic....and thats what's so fun about it!!! I don't have to think. all i gotta do is move and think about upgrades a little and watch myself become god
also whats wrong with king bible? its great(tho there are better options) i think getting too attched to garlic is the problem if anything.
@@MythicAce218 great questions!
Sammy is the best gold farming unit because of how his buffs and interactions stack on each other, but if your pc isn’t an absolute beast it will spontaneously combust within seconds of starting a run (with a lot of golden eggs, at least).
The core of the game is very simple, but learning the good combos and synergies to get through the hardest content without golden eggs can be pretty tricky and take a lot of experience/experimentation. If you just want to see the credits, or just want to watch funny number go brrr, then heck yeah, the game is as simple as you could want it to be.
King Bible is very good early in the game, and early on most stages. The problem is that the early game isn’t where you’re concerned about your strength. Your build focus should almost always be working toward end game. A couple exceptions I can think of are the guys that start with Clock Lancet and Laurel, and the girl who starts with Pentagram. Bible (and garlic!) can be a good take on those since their early game is by far their weakest point
Hope you’re enjoying the game so far! If you have any other questions I’m happy to answer them
@@arcanelizard4646 Sammy isn't better than trouser for gold farming. No idea where this idea comes from. Trouser has _infinite_ Greed scaling, so no matter what Sammy does, he'll pull ahead in Endless mode. I guess Sammy is better if you have no eggs on Trouser and need to get some quickly. But on long gold runs, Trouser blows Sammy out of the water.
And then if you have the Among Us DLC, and have Scientist unlocked, she's even better than Trouser. What's better than +1% greed every level? Try +5% every level (+1% growth and 4% greed is actually more optimal, but I digress. That's still 4x what Trouser gets).
@@bugjams simply put, the idea comes from ignorance. I didn't realize how hard other characters outscale Sammy in endless. Also, was the Among Us dlc even out when I posted that comment? I don't remember when that happened and I haven't been actively playing in a while
Even if this video get uploaded at 5am for me i don't care gonna watch it
I love the commitment, I’ll try to upload at better times lol
Nah don't mind my french ass, do as you please
there is a glitch where in the library if you walk towards the wall for a few seconds you go through it
It's every level, not just library. It happens when there's so many enemies on screen that the game doesn't have time to update your position quick enough, letting you clip through walls.
It happens on every map and you can get really good at doing it, it's basically a feature at this point lol
@@blu8009hell, it's even required for one of the coffins I'm pretty sure
@@MustafaIbrahim-rk6dj which coffin is it required for?
This is the only game I found worthy on Apple Arcade and the dopamine hits are REAL. I'm staying strong, but learning it's on PC and Game Pass is not healthy for my addiction! 😅
Wonderful video, great info and quality. instant sub!
The best characters are probably the Among Us DLC characters
It's also free on mobile
3:15 how did he get the grimoire before beating mad forest, grimoire is in the next level and you have to get to evolve right
nope.
grimore is not needed for evolutions.
Ps5 has released with 221 trophies
A while back I ordered some garlic and onion powder and then made a dip and ate a bag of chips, but probably used way too much of the powders, so felt like a vampire the whole night and next day. So be careful with garlic! Anyways, Vampire survivors is a great game! So simple, and thank god it's 2 D. I get nausea from most open world 3 d games. I downloaded Doom the other day, but couldn't play more than 5 minutes. Hate the look up and down movement. Ended up deleting Doom and same night discovering Vampire survivors. Other simple games I've liked are Inside, Limbo, Planet of Lana, The curse of brotherhood and the Rayman series. Do you have any tips for more simple and fun games?
The best character is Queen Sigma. Literaly P2W personalised. XD
Counter argument: sammy
@@hrzfg I can't afford to unlock Sammy. I've got every achievement in the game and all DLC and that's basically down to Sigma.
@@stingersplash im too german for this sentence
It seems you ditched laurel and clock freezer builds, but they're the best to beat death.
Picked up the mobile version like a week ago and i was so happy wen the ps versions just dropped out of nowhere.
I will probably end up buying this game on every platform i own
3:30 well it only has a chance of happening. And only some chests can evo weapons.
Look I know what im talking about, I have 100% compleation, including the DLCs.
9:10 that dameging blast is from the Arcana you start with
An evolution is guaranteed to appear in chests after minute 10 on standard maps. Only in Dairy Plant every chest can contain evolutions.
i just found this game a few days ago. what a nice surprise
It's good as hell.
@@mintmuffled for how cheap it is it also has a lot of content
I thought using the forbidden scrolls just unlocked the thing in game but didn't give you the arvhivement
Did... did you just disrespect Santa water?!
I am a proud 100% achievements player
i gotta ask how tf does Phieraggi also shoot how the blue and red pellets
Using the Gemini arcana, you get unique copies of the guns (Phiera der Tuphello has Red Muscle and Eight the Sparrow has Twice Upon a Time) which persist after you upgrade the regular guns. The same applies to other weapons affected by Gemini like the birds, Gatti Amari, and Santa Javelin.
@@ironicdivinemandatestan4262 odd because i had gemini and the guns but never saw it
I have all achivement even for dlcs

"There's really only three weapons" and one of them is Soul Eater 💀
New players say the funniest things......
@@MustafaIbrahim-rk6dj It's funny that if you decide to limit your weapons to one you can still win solo with almost anything in the game other than Garlic/Soul Eater.
@@Jadez1207 there's only like 3 weapons outside of garlic/death eater that can die if you don't level them quickly enough
Magic wand
Fire ball wand or whatever it's called
Uhhh knife weapon that I also can't remember the name of
@@MustafaIbrahim-rk6dj I can easily use wand for a solo weapon run if Silent Old Sanctuary is allowed
evolved gatti amari can destroy the coin counter.

Thx
Sole solution from queen sigma is OP
4:39 its free on phones too
Nah, bro actually took the minute 1 chest on his first run instead of saving it to evolve a weapon on minute 3💀💀
Erm, actually on the first stage the first evolution chest comes at minute 11 🤓
@@totallynotpaul6211 on the first stage or in the first run you have? Because i, in every single run i have on the first stage always upgrade my main weapon or the wip in like minute 4-5 with the minute 1 chest
@@miguel_braulio_2250 All the standard maps only give an evo after 10+ minutes. The only exception is dairy plant which gives evo chests from the first minute.
@@totallynotpaul6211 all the standard maps gives an Evo chest from minute 10+ and, if you have a boss on minute 1 and it drops a chest it will evolve your weapon, look it up, it's even on the wiki, and if you don't trust the wiki just open the game and play
The first map’s first chest CAN evolve
Just got it on my phone and I love this shit
Is surviving 90 minutes the only way to get that box?
How difficult was it to get all the achievements
No fucking way you unlocked exdash that soon
The game is also free on mobile, and its also avalible on switch

You need to do the Castlevania DLC.
This game also goes on sale regularly. Buy it now.
It's just free on mobile???
Imagine using la borra without size upgrades 😏
100% DLC and vanilla here and my man I’m 2 minutes in and those 3 weapons you showed are barley top 10 😭
