Vampire Survivors Weapon Tier List
1. Rune Tracer
Effect
Passes through enemies and bounces. Best with: speed, duration.
Evolve Requirements
–
Notes
Scales with all good power-ups: projectiles, speed, damage, cooldown, duration, area. Can be more powerful than most evolved weapons.
2. Whip
Effect
Attacks horizontally and passes through enemies. Ignores: speed, duration.
Evolve Requirements
Hollow Heart = Bloody Tear
Notes
It has a high skill requirement only until level 2. This is the best early game weapon and reducing the cooldown makes it good personal defence.
3. Cross
Effect
Aims at the nearest enemy and has boomerang effect. Ignores: duration.
Evolve Requirements
Clover = Heaven Sword
Notes
Needs a few power-ups to be great: projectiles, speed, cooldown, size. Better defence than Runetracer due to targeting nearest.

4. Axe
Effect
High damage and high area scaling. Ignores: duration.
Evolve Requirements
Candelabrador = Death Spiral
Notes
Stand below your enemy to focus them down. Scales well after level 4, especially after it gains, “Passes through 2 more enemies”. Evolves into an excellent defensive weapon.
5. Fire Wand
Effect
Fires at a random enemy, dealing high damage. Ignores: duration.
Evolve Requirements
Spinach = Hellfire
Notes
Starts with multiple projectiles but has a slow cooldown and does not pass through enemies. Hellfire, the evolved form, is much better because it passes through enemies.
6. Magic Wand
Effect
Fires at the nearest enemy. Ignores: duration.
Evolve Requirements
Empty Tome = Holy Wand
Notes
Becomes much more effective at level 7 when it gains, “Passes through 1 more enemy”. Transitions from offence to personal defence as the game goes on.
7. King Bible
Effect
Orbits around the character. Best with: speed, duration, area, cooldown.
Evolve Requirements
Spell Binder = Unholy Vespers
Notes
Incredible late game DPS. Good personal defence. Monsters too close may not be damaged by this.

8. Knife
Effect
Fires quickly in the direction you are facing. Ignores: duration.
Evolve Requirements
Bracer = Thousand Edge
Notes
High skill requirement. Fun. Scales well when levelled up, especially after level 5 and 8 where is gains, “Passes through 1 more enemy”. Allows you to bust a path through hordes and focus down bosses. Low overall DPS.
9. Clock Lancet
Effect
Chance to freeze enemies (Frozen enemies don’t move or DO DAMAGE). Requires cooldown reduction and level ups to be good. If cooldown is shorter than duration, it allows you to run through hordes of mobs (like werewolf wave) WITHOUT TAKING DAMAGE. Deals 0 damage. Make sure you have enough damage before you pick this.
Notes
Requires cooldown reduction and level ups to be good. If cooldown is shorter than duration, it allows you to run through hordes of mobs (like werewolf wave) WITHOUT TAKING DAMAGE. Deals 0 damage. Make sure you have enough damage before you pick this.
