Vampire Survivors Weapon Tier List

Fine at minute two, dropping zones that thin the pack while you keep walking. La Borra is the payoff: the zones follow you, grow while they travel, and cover most of the screen by minute twenty. Attractorb is a passive you wanted anyway.

The damage is modest and that has never been the point. Garlic clears the ring around your feet so nothing touches you in a crowd, and Soul Eater turns kills into health once Pummarola lands. The one weapon that keeps working after your damage stops keeping up.

Orbits that never stop once they become Unholy Vespers, and the orbit eats enemy projectiles on the way round. Spellbinder is cheap and you were taking it anyway.

Laurel looks like a panic button and plays like permission to walk into things. Crimson Shroud caps every hit you take at 10 damage, which is the whole difference between dying at 26 minutes and not dying. Both Metaglios are a nuisance to line up and it is still worth doing.

Freezing things is pleasant. Halving their health is the reason you take it. Infinite Corridor works on a percentage, so it is exactly as good against a wall of 28-minute enemies as it was at minute five.

Twelve levels instead of eight, a combo that retaliates when you get hit, and Sole Solution waiting at the end. Queen Sigma's sword does not need the rest of your build to cooperate.

Cones of fire that cover more ground than they look like they should. Ashes of Muspell grows with every kill and never stops growing, which is the right shape for a long run. Maxing Torrona's Box is a real tax. Pay it.

On its own it is a pinball you have limited say over. NO FUTURE is a different weapon entirely: it detonates on every bounce and again whenever something hits you, and Armor is a passive worth owning regardless.

Whip is unremarkable and Bloody Tear is only a little better. You commit anyway, because Bloody Tear plus Vento Sacro makes Fuwalafuwaloo, and Fuwalafuwaloo is one of the three best weapons in the game.

Crits, and it gets stronger the longer you keep moving, which you were doing already. Half of Fuwalafuwaloo, and good enough to hold a slot by itself if the union never comes together.

High damage, brutal Area scaling, and Death Spiral drops the arc so the blades pass straight through everything. Candelabrador is the whole build and you should grab it early.

Random targeting makes this feel like a waste for ten minutes. Thunder Loop makes every projectile strike twice and the room starts clearing itself. Duplicator was on your list already.

Weak alone, and you are not taking it for what it does alone. Holding two weapon slots for one union hurts at minute eight and means nothing at minute twenty-five, when Phieraggi is scaling off every Revival you own.

Crits spawn damaging zones, and revivals push the damage on consecutive crits higher. Spirit Disturbance then crits every single time, which is the kind of upgrade that skips two tiers.

Thin beams with absurd Amount scaling. Photonstorm can fire up to ten times the projectiles depending on Luck, and Luck is one of the easiest stats in the game to stack.

A free pick of any weapon you have unlocked, so it is whatever your build is short of. It shows up rarely, so stack Luck if you actually want Super Candybox II Turbo out of it.

Pentagram wipes the screen and wipes your gems along with it, so committing early costs you levels you never get back. Gorgeous Moon reverses that completely, spawning extra gems and pulling in every one on the map. No other weapon in the game changes this much when it evolves.

Neither bird earns a slot by itself. Max both and you get Vandalier, one of the very few strong unions that asks for no passive at all.

Cats do what cats want, and sometimes what they want is the floor chicken you were saving. Vicious Hunger is genuinely strong, but getting there means tolerating ten minutes of nonsense first.

A selector, not a weapon. Pick a tuna, max it to six, get the selector back, then do that five more times for Miracle of Multiplication. That is most of a run spent on a side quest.

A second Peachone under a different name, handed to you rather than offered. Nothing wrong with the weapon. You simply never get to pick it.

A stage hazard that happens to be catalogued as a weapon. It hurts things, you do not control it, and it never scales with a single stat you own. Most of this tier works the same way.

Zones that chase you, grow while they move, and blanket the screen by minute twenty. Santa Water plus Attractorb, a passive you want for pickups anyway. The safest S on the board.

King Bible plus Spellbinder, and the orbit simply never ends. It blocks projectiles, grinds down anything that closes in, and asks nothing of the rest of your build.

Garlic plus Pummarola. The damage is beside the point. Stealing hearts on kill means your health bar climbs during the exact fights that are supposed to end runs.

Laurel plus both Metaglios, the most irritating requirement on this board. What you get is a hard cap of 10 damage on everything that touches you, which turns the back half of an Inverse run into a formality.

Clock Lancet plus the Silver and Gold Rings, two passives that do nothing else for you all run. Halving enemy health is percentage-based, so it is the one effect that never falls behind the clock.

Phiera Der Tuphello and Eight The Sparrow together, plus Tiragisú. It scales off every Revival you are carrying, so the more insurance you buy the harder it hits. Two weapon slots for one gun is the only real cost.

Vento Sacro married to Bloody Tear, so you are paying two weapon slots and a Hollow Heart to get here. Crits spawn explosions, the explosions crit, and the screen stops holding enemies.

Flames of Misspell plus a maxed Torrona's Box. It gets stronger with every kill and a long run is nothing but kills, so by minute 28 it is doing numbers nothing else on this list touches.

Victory Sword maxed to twelve and Torrona's Box maxed as well, the heaviest requirement here by some distance. In exchange you get a weapon that compounds on kills and clears the screen without help.

Runetracer plus Armor. It explodes on every bounce and again whenever something hits you, so getting hurt becomes part of your damage output.

Lightning Ring plus Duplicator, and now every projectile strikes twice. Still randomly targeted, which is the only thing keeping it out of S.

Pentagram plus Crown. It erases the screen, then generates extra gems and gathers every one on the map, so the weapon that starved you of levels starts feeding you them.

Knife plus Bracer, firing with no delay whatsoever. A genuine firehose, as long as you keep remembering it only points where you are facing.

Phas3r plus a maxed Empty Tome. Two to ten times the projectiles depending on Luck, and a Luck build turns it into a moving wall of light.

Unearthly Bolt plus a maxed Tiragisú, and every hit is a critical hit. On a weapon that already spawned damaging zones off crits, that reads like a typo.

Peachone and Ebony Wings, both maxed, and no passive at all. The only union near the top that never asks you to hold a slot hostage.

Song of Mana plus Skull O'Maniac. The slow is worth more than the damage, and on a crowded map at minute 25 that slow is doing serious work.

Whip plus Hollow Heart, and on its own it is a mild upgrade with lifesteal bolted on. It sits here because it is a waypoint. The reason you built it is Fuwalafuwaloo.

Three steps and six levels each, from Bracelet through Bi-Bracelet, and the thing at the end is solid rather than special. A lot of level-ups for a mid-tier weapon.

Cherry Bomb plus Tetraforce, with extra explosions that crit off Luck. The weapon is perfectly good. Tetraforce is the problem, and it is the same problem for all four of these.

Carréllo plus Tetraforce. You spent one of the rarest passives in the game on a shopping trolley.

Six tuna weapons, every one maxed to level six. The requirement is longer than most runs and what shows up at the end does not repay the detour.
