Does anyone have a Guide on how to Win with Toastie? I consistently have trouble figuring out how to survive to level 100. I try to spam usage of Song of Mana and Laurel but I don't seem to have much luck getting to level 100 before I get swarmed.

It's for the previous build with busted cat so the whole reaper kill angle might not be so great any more.

ironically the big thing holding back soul eater from being good is the fact that it knocks back enemies.

with the healing arcana and a build focused around powering up soul eater it deals very high base damage, but in the later parts of a run enemies get thrown out of it before they can take additional damage.

i've been hoping for an arcana that reverses the knockback and super charges it.

lol there's a mod that adds a shitzillion new characters, one of them is frosty the snowman who gets 100% aoe and up to +3 amount, but has 1/3rd max hp and gains 10% curse per level. Literally could not escape the green reaper in bonezone. Also adds some new weapons and stuff too.

I keep forgetting to try that mod. It's the NG+ one right?

Yeah it's NG+.

NG+ : https://www.nexusmods.com/vampiresurvivors/mods/3?tab=description
Character Pack: https://www.nexusmods.com/vampiresurvivors/mods/11?tab=description

Install the Character pack mod first before NG+. Just drag the pack mod files into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Vampire Survivors\resources\app\.webpack\renderer (or your equivalent steam folder directory), then drop the NG+ installer into that folder as well and run it, job done.

edit: Character pack mod creator just released a new map mod, looks like an unending Library with custom waves, if you want to try it out in addition to characters and NG+ just follow the same steps but with this file instead: https://www.nexusmods.com/vampiresurvivors/mods/23?tab=files&file_id=93

Thanks. Was able to get it right on the 10th attempt. I would try to do this on Bone zone or Dairy Plant, but I don't think I'm masochistic enough for that.

Is there an unlock behind getting to 100 with toastie?

Every 10 levels up to 50 gives you an additional +20% luck. Hitting level 100 with toastie gives you +9998 max HP, meaning you are effectively invulnerable to regular enemies and hitting level 200 with toastie will give you +65520 armor which allows you to survive the reaper.

Follow the steps on the wiki for unlocking MissingNo: https://vampire-survivors.fandom.com/wiki/MissingN%E2%96%AF

But instead of "FINO", type "PANINI".

Important to note that Toastie only gains max HP at level 100, not the actual health, so you gotta find a way to fill up before you start shrugging things off.

This reminded me to unlock Missingno, but when I try it, I click on "restore backup" and then "confirm" in the options menu and nothing happens. It won't confirm. Does this mean I hosed something up in the file?

It's a common problem, IME. Try loading into a run and then quitting out first, that usually gets it working.

That allows me to restore the backup but loading a run seems to delete "FINO" from my LastRunBackup.sav, defeating the purpose. Is anyone else able to unlock characters via save editing on version 0.5.107? Maybe it's been patched out intentionally.

Just unlocked Poppea. On Hyper Forest, hit 20 minutes with fully evolved starting weapon, Bible, runetracer, wand, lightning ring, and scythes. I got called out of the room and haven't checked back yet, but I let it run. Nothing was even approaching the middle third of my screen. I'm probably going to check back and see a level up and cuss myself for not considering I would level up again

IIRC Enemy hp scales with level, so keeping a relatively low level keeps the enemy's HP from ballooning to high levels. I felt this during games like in Dairy Plant and Bone Zone where the giants where too beefy for me to repel.

This is how you killed Death with Clerici. You seal yourself in the library behind a table with a Runetracer (keep restarting until you get Runetracer).


Don't collect any gems by removing the magnet power up.

Since Death's HP is 655,350 X player level, you don't move out until after Death spawns in, locking his HP in .

Pick up a nearby red gem (which needs to be within grabbing distance) and level enough non-evo weapons and utilities (freeze/shield) to kill 1.310.700 HP within a minute. Because the next Death that will spawn will be vastly more HP.

Unless they changed this. I unlocked Red Death a couple months back.

So far this had worked for me a few days ago. I didn't want to try again because waiting 30+ minutes for both rng of player position and reaper placement rng is tedious. On the bright side Reaper is pretty fun to work with zipping around. Though to be honest I kind of hoped they were as strong as Leda. Leda just straight up is a top tier character from the get go with their enormous 125% might with all upgrades + everything else.

You don't need to kill Death in under a minute, juggling 3 or 4 of them isn't very difficult with Clock Lancet and Laurel. Even 6 or more is possible, and actually required to reach 21 minutes in il Molise for the massive wave of money jars.

I just a run on the stairs with max duration and managed to get to about 33:15 on one try, it seems like it should be pretty easy to juggle deaths. I wasn't expecting blue death immediately and also the non stop rain of comets in the post-game.

What are some of the longest 30+ games people have managed so far?

Yes, I did that the first time I tried to unlock him. He appears around the middle of the screen, and is pretty big, but it's very possible to just march on past and not notice, especially since it's impossible to see anything by the time you get to him :v:

Happened to me the first time. The big clue isn't the darkness, it's the music changing. So eventually I turned down the sound effects, turned up the music, and ran down full speed until the music changed. Then I kept going down but more slowly and eventually ran into him. Funny thing was I thought I missed him again, paused the game to check online, went back in and he was literally 1 inch below me.

Leda is interesting because he's just a little further down than you think he'll be, hits just a little harder than you think he would, and takes just a bit longer than you think it should take to kill.

The dev nerfed cat damage scaling with floor chickens eaten so it takes a lot longer to get the kill now. The new idea seems to be taking scythe or hellfire with the appropriate arcana to supplement your dps as shown here:
