All characters in Vampire Survivors

Every character in Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors has unique abilities that’ll greatly impact your playstyle. Add armor, increase area, boost damage… Undoubtedly, you’ll find the perfect companion for your dungeon crawls among their ranks. The trouble, of course, is to unlock them, as you will start the game with only one character.

Here’s an overview of all characters in Vampire Crawlers and how to unlock them, plus their starting cards and abilities.

All characters in Vampire Survivors

Vampire Crawlers contains 22 characters. There are two steps to obtaining new characters: First, you must discover them, and then you can recruit them at the Inn in the Village. Recruiting new characters requires a certain amount of coins. You only need to purchase a character once; whenever you’re back at the Inn (after a dungeon crawl), you can swap between your unlocked characters at no additional cost.

Some Vampire Crawlers characters are hidden inside coffins. Here’s what such a coffin (and its map marker) looks like:

Beware that a character’s recruitment cost increases as you unlock more characters. If you purchase Pasqualina as your third character (following Antonio and Imelda), she will cost 110 coins, but if you purchase Gennaro first, Pasqualina will cost 120 coins. Likewise, Gennaro will cost 550 or 700 coins based on whether he’s your third or fourth purchase. But although their exact price varies depending on your purchase order, as a general rule, late-game characters are still costlier than early-game characters.

Here’s a list of all Vampire Crawlers characters, their abilities, and how to recruit them.
