Released in December 2021, vampire survivors offers a survival experience with minimalist gameplay and elements from the Roguelite genre. Your objective will be simple since you will have to survive waves of increasingly powerful creatures and bosses as long as possible, trying to obtain as many gold coins and gems as possible in order to develop your character.
Of course, the different characters, all with different passives and weapons, will have advantages and disadvantages depending on your progress in the game and even in a game. Their choice should therefore not be made lightly and without real reflection. However, equipped weapons and opted upgrades will be major points in your potential victory. Looking at the current meta, some of these weapons and upgrades turn out to be much better and therefore more powerful and useful than others. The tier list of weapons and upgrades Vampire Survivors presented below should help you choose the right weapons and upgrades that will undoubtedly lead you to deserved success.
Tier list of the best basic weapons Vampire Survivors
Three basic weapons stand out a bit, the Axis and the king bible which possess an evolution, and the runetracer. The latter, despite its non-evolution, will offer significant damage throughout the game, although its randomness can be restrictive in the first few minutes. The King Bible will give you survivability, while the Ax will allow you to deal heavy damage to enemies hit.
On the other hand, we will find in Tier A weapons of vampire survivors, the Garlic which will be particularly useful for eliminating the first creatures without real difficulty. The fire wand, although she can be quite difficult to deal with, due to her RNG, has a morph that will melt enemies. the Knife, used by default by Gennaro, will be able to dish out very heavy damage in the space of a few moments, in the direction in which your character is facing and will be useful for destroying a boss. The Santa Water at its maximum level and coupled with the right improvements, will offer a relatively interesting protection belt in the end game.

On the improvement side, the Duplicator is undoubtedly the object to possess. Although it is not useful in the evolved or legendary weapon suit, the latter will allow you to duplicate the projectiles launched by your equipped weapons. As a result, on characters such as Mortaccio and Gennaro, the object will be much more powerful.
Then we find the Candelabrador (Increased attack area), Empty Tome (Reduction of loading times), Spellbinder (Increased duration of effects) and Spinach (Damage increase) which, in addition to providing significant effects and improvements for almost all weapons, are essential for creating the most powerful legendary weapons in the game.
Tier list of the best Vampire Survivors legendary weapons
You will find, below, a detail of the different legendary weapons. However, to hope to complete a level at 100%, we advise you to start on a combo death spiral, Hellfire, Unholy Vespers, Soul Eater and the runetracer. If you’re lucky to collect the various items needed for these evolutions, you shouldn’t encounter too many difficulties.
death spiral
Combination → Ax (level 8) + Candelabrador
Very clearly, the Death Spiral is mandatory to hope to finish a level. It allows you to inflict heavy damage in a constant manner, while providing you with significant security given its area of effect, in addition to passing through enemies. The Candelabrador will also be useful for other weapons as the area of effect of your attacks will be increased.
Hellfire
Combination → Fire Wand (level 8) + Spinach
The Hellfire is one of the most powerful weapons in the game, in terms of damage dealt to enemies. However, we will note that the randomness of the fireballs can be penalizing in certain situations. However, she will be a good source of damage and will be able to clear a crowded path. In addition, the necessary upgrade, Spinach, will benefit all of your other weapons since your damage % will be increased.
Unholy Vespers
Combination → King Bible (Level 8) + Spell Binder
Without a doubt, the “must have” of Vampire Survivors. Indeed, this weapon will give you one of the best defenses in the game, even if the bosses will have no real trouble getting into your comfort zone. However, it will bring a source of significant damage.
Heaven Sword
Combination → Cross (level 8) + Clover
This weapon first hits the nearest enemy before returning in the opposite direction and inflicting significant, potentially critical damage to creatures in its path. Heaven Sword is an interesting choice that will be beneficial in the Inlaid Library stage.
holy wand
Combination → Magic Wand (level 8) + Empty Tome
The Holy Wand weapon fires without any delay, dealing heavy damage to enemies. Additionally, Empty Tome, the upgrade needed to evolve the Magic Wand, will be especially useful on all of your other weapons, given that the Tome reduces weapon cooldowns.
Soul Eater
Combination → Garlic (level 8) + Pummarola
The Soul Eater is a good defensive weapon, since it steals hit points from nearby enemies, while dealing much more damage if you’re recovering hit points. This weapon will be effective in bringing a little more survivability to your characters in difficult situations.
Vandalier
Combination → Peachone (Level 8) + Ebony Wings (Level 8)
Vandalier has one of the highest damage potentials in the game. However, it will be particularly difficult to obtain. Indeed, unlike other legendary weapons, Vandalier will need to see two level 8 weapons, the Peachone (the white bird) and the Ebony Wings (the purplish bird). However, the damage inflicted will be very significant and Vandalier will be able to eradicate all the monsters present around you without any difficulty.
Bloody Tear
Combination → Whip (level 8) + Hollow Heart
Bloody Tear attacks horizontally while passing through multiple layers of enemies. The weapon can inflict critical hits and absorb hit points from creatures hit. It allows you to gain survivability while being sure to kill the enemies present on your flanks.
Thousand Edge
Combination → Knife (level 8) + Bracer
Deals heavy damage in the direction your character is facing. Of course, the blades pierce the enemies. This legendary weapon is quite useful for quickly melting boss hit points, but won’t be the most practical when you’re surrounded by enemies in the late game.
Remember that this list is based on the current meta of vampire survivors. It is possible that in the future, depending on the modifications made by the independent developer ponce, the tier list from weapons and upgrades is totally turned upside down, do not hesitate to come back regularly to this article in order to take note of the changes made and to manifest yourself, via the comments, if you do not agree with the tier list of weapons and upgrades Vampire Survivors presented.
