While Vampire Survivors is one of the cheapest indie games on Steam, indulging in this action-fueled gameplay unravels its challenging nature – which can become less troublesome with proper evolutions!
If you’re new to Vampire Survivors, understanding all the upgrades, combos, and power-ups may seem challenging. Surprisingly, it’s not! You only need to learn a few combinations that will make you stronger in no time. Follow this step-by-step guide for beginners on the most vital tips and tricks regarding Vampire Survivors evolutions to rise as a born monster slayer!
How to obtain Evolutions
Vampire Survivors players battle increasing waves of incoming enemies to collect passive objects, experience points, and arms, so even a little help can make a difference. Evolutions are the best way to endure in the game as long as possible, as they deal mighty attacks that can tremendously change the situation on the battlefield.
Okay, but what to do to obtain an evolution? Firstly, remember you cannot evolve arms below the maximum level 8 – and when the upgrade time comes, you should combine your level 8 base weapon with the chosen passive compatible item.
The most challenging part is that you have to confront the Boss and endure the fight for at least 10 minutes to get it. The defeated Boss drops a chest containing your brand-new evolution. Now, let’s proceed to the evolve list of specific combinations and compatible items to make this process easier.

How to use these Evolutions?
Since you can carry six weapons and six upgrade items, we recommend aiming at different effects to make eliminating enemies easier. Also, remember that once you have several objects ready for an upgrade, chests with your evolutions drop randomly. Some of these powerful items may be difficult to obtain, but they are definitely worth the effort.
Find Grim Grimoire
That handy relic lets you examine all unions and evolutions you’ve discovered within an active save file. It also shows the necessary components for building particular fusions, so imagine how useful it may be during your upcoming Vampire Survivors session. You can find it in the Inlaid Library, protected by twelve patrolling witches. Follow the green arrow and enjoy its power!
Summary
Now that you know how to create evolutions – start doing it! The most challenging part is surviving the boss battle for 10 minutes until the chest containing your future evolution drops. Try different combinations, learn more about their effects, and get rid of all these monsters once and for all!
