Vampire Survivors: Unkillable Vampiric Build (V0.5)

Update 0.5 has added an awesome new feature called Arcanas. There are only 6 right now and they add additional gameplay modifiers. One of these modifiers is double healing. And not only do you heal for twice the amount as before, you also damage enemies around you for the amount you heal. So whip heals now recover 16 HP. Soul eater heals recover 2 HP. Floor chicken recovers 60 HP. Here is what we are doing in this build:

• We choose Pugnala (this works with lots of other characters though) as Pugnala gets +1% DMG per level and this will help scale soul eater as that weapon can be weak in the end game.
• At the start of the game, we pick the Arcana for double healing.
• If you get more Arcana options later, the other two you should pick are Awake and the one for Crits on the whip. Reason we pick awake is that if you die you come back with more armor, more HP, more might, and more area. You can see this happening in the video below when the reaper kills me 6 times.
• We obviously go for soul eater and bloody tear for the HP regen.
• Go for No Future (runetracer + armor) as the armor will help tank hits.
• Get Laurel + empty tome. Empty tome is arguably the best item in the game and Laurel isn’t actually a weapon so these two pair well in a slot. Laurel is a Shield that will help your tanking abilities even further.
• In the unlikely scenario that you die early in the game before this build is maxed out, if you have the Awake Arcana, you will revive with MORE ARMOR, more HP, more damage, more area on your weapons. You always come back stronger and this build has 6 revives. I was unable to get myself killed until the reaper though.

TL;DR – It’s pretty much impossible to get yourself killed. Even if you are actively trying to die. Obviously the reaper still ends the game.

The only mandatory items for this build are soul eater, bloody tear, laurel, and armor. Everything else can be swapped around, but I think this build is pretty optimal. Note that depending on what stage you are playing, it may be possible to gather a lot more items. For example, the first stage contains pummarola, spinach, and hollow heart with a few other items. Since those three are on the ground you can grab candelabrador, the tome, and something else like attractorb. Play around with stuff. As long as you have the HP regen and the gear to tank, you can’t lose.

As you can see above I ended the game with:

• 587 HP
• 14 armor
• 230% might
• 90% area
• 50% speed
• 110% duration
• Even had 50% curse going and couldn’t intentionally die.
