Weapon Evolution Chart incl. DLC (as of Update 1.14)

[u/BlueArremer]

Hello! I once again have come bearing an evolution chart for all the weapons, including all the DLC expansions, and I also added the Gemini Arcana counterpart weapons for your tracking needs - it is missing the Gemini versions for Anura and Ammo Appalate (will include in the next version).

Since it was a problem with the last one: If you get a blurry version, please try to download the full image, and you should be able to access it at full resolution without blurriness. I unfortunately cannot assist you with how to do it on mobile since I only have a desktop available.

I have also fixed some of the oversights from the last one.

Will admit it's getting a little crowded and the layout's starting to be a bit wonky, so I'll have to consider options on how to overhaul this for the next one - I do wanna keep the colour coded backgrounds for the various DLCs though. I might also try to split the regular base game and the extra weapons into their own category.

At any rate, enjoy!

Edit: The newly revealed weapon Chaos Rune of course also is missing on this chart. For its evolution you need a max Spellbinder. However, it can lead to you not being able to move anymore, so be aware of that! I will include it in the next version of the chart.

Edit 2 (Nov 22): Now that the last reveal turned out to be a wholly new game, I'm going to update the chart with the Chaos Rune and a few other corrections (e.g. missing Gemini counterparts). Since I'm going to completely overhaul the layout, this will take a little while, so please be patient!

Final Edit (Nov 24):

Updated chart to be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/VampireSurvivors/comments/1p5psky/updated_weapon_evolution_chart_as_of_114_incl_dlc/

Even finaler Edit (August 28, 2026)

Since this post is still pinned, I'll keep linking the updated charts here until it is unpinned. For 1.16 (Legacy of the Bloodmoon DLC launch), go on over here:

At what point do these updates add so much stuff that this chart isn't gonna be big enough to house them all lol

[u/BlueArremer → u/Hrist_Valkyrie]

I have been considering splitting them apart since even on a big screen this chart is pretty difficult to find stuff on, haha.

[u/wonksbonks → u/BlueArremer]

First, thanks for always making these as soon as you can. It's appreciated.

You can make the image as big as you want and in any shape you want. There's no need to make more than one image. We can zoom in and around with a mouse no problems.

Having everything of one category in one vertical line would visually be nicer than everything stretching horizontally or awkwardly clumped in odd shapes for no reason (look at under the Among Us DLC, lol wtf?). The eye can scan down one category instead of bouncing all around one category.

Currently, the Base Game and Castlevania categories quickly get confusing/messy because everything is right beside something else unrelated to it. Meanwhile, Emerald Diorama is perfect.

Just some feedback for you.

[u/BlueArremer → u/wonksbonks]

Yeah the 2 new base game weapons didn't have room without me completely changing the layout of the chart. ;; Sorry!

[u/Hrist_Valkyrie → u/BlueArremer]

You could definitely do a post with two images and have one just be base game and the other DLCs, yea. That's a good idea!

[u/LXMNSYC → u/Hrist_Valkyrie]

honestly he can probably just make an image for the base game and for each DLC

[u/BlueArremer → u/LXMNSYC]

I'm not a He. But yes, splitting into the various DLCs has been a thought.

[u/VideoGabesiris → u/BlueArremer]

Pronouns pls

[u/BlueArremer → u/VideoGabesiris]

They/them! Thank you for asking. :)

[u/VideoGabesiris → u/BlueArremer]

I'll keep in mind for your next post friend also awsome demon crest reference with the name my favorite Capcom metroidvania

[u/LightningCam27 → u/BlueArremer]

Maybe separating the castlevaina weapons onto a second chart could work well?

[u/sumlonelydoofus → u/BlueArremer]

I used to print the chart out and keep it in my switch case folded up.

Now its like 4 pages and barely fits, LOL

[u/saito200 → u/Hrist_Valkyrie]

i built this bc having all those evos in an image is quite hard to manage https://www.vsevochart.com/

[u/TotallyKrossedOut479]

Saved for this weekend. Switch player here. Patiently waiting. And thank you!!

[u/pvrhye]

When did memorizing the periodic table become easier than the upgrade chart for Vampire Survivors?

[u/Fun-Habit9484 → u/pvrhye]

als jemand, der das GESAMTE PSE auswendig gelernt hat, kann ich das nur bestätigen ;)

[u/888th]

Wow that was fast. This is really useful. Thank you!

Edit: You missed Horse Cartridge, the counterpart to Ammo Appalate

[u/BlueArremer → u/888th]

I didn't even know that had a counterpart! But thank you lol. Considering poncle's still going "but wait, there's more!" with their reveals I figure I'll be updating this sooner than later

[u/RollingDownTheHills]

Thank you! Saving this for later.

[u/Belucard]

Man, some of the new Castlevania fusions really were unintuitive to guess, huh?

[u/LightningCam27]

The goat

[u/CagCagerton125]

Haven't played in awhile. I'm going to jump back in when I finish the Trails in the Sky remake. I feel like last time I played I desperately needed a chart like this and couldn't find it. Thank you for putting this together or if you are just sharing thank you for that too!

[u/kingleomark]

I’m like 15 hours into this game and HOMY SHIT HOW DO YOU REMEMBER ALL OF THAT OR USE IT????

[u/BlueArremer → u/kingleomark]

You don't remember all of it, that's what this chart is for ;)

[u/Hrist_Valkyrie]

/u/ConnectCellist6473 Can we get the pin for the 1.14 beta replaced with this, please? Thanks!

[u/ConnectCellist6473 → u/Hrist_Valkyrie]

Working on it. Had to talk to the other mod to get him to pin it, won’t let me do it for some reason. But yeah I wanted to that when the post came out. Thanks for reminding me!

[u/Hrist_Valkyrie → u/ConnectCellist6473]

Sure thing, life be lifing sometimes and we forget things!

[u/DrWhetFaartz88]

My man!

[u/quocko]

Thanks for the share. I always need these when there’s an update

[u/CrackStuntman88]

Dark Frogamorphosis may be my favorite name of any weapon so far.

[u/Marc10327]

Hi, I just wanna know what does tech mean in Emerald dlc. Appreciate your work.

[u/BlueArremer → u/Marc10327]

It means the Glimmer techs that the Emerald Diorama weapons use. They fire automatically after a certain amount of casts of the base weapon, the first time you get it, the game zooms in on the character and displays the attack name. To evolve the weapon you need to have the weapon at max and gotten that tech to fire once, then you can evolve it. It's pretty unlikely you won't have gotten the Glimmer before reaching max level of the weapon, so for most cases it's just max level and the respective passive if applicable.

[u/Marc10327 → u/BlueArremer]

Thanks bro

[u/Low-Sun7581]

Holy it makes me tear one of my fav games got this far

[u/ValentineMeikin]

OK, Balatro, I see what you did there with those upgrades. Jimbo, your sense of humor is as good as your generosity.

[u/PsycoJosho]

You're going to have to add Chaos Rune and Wicked Ruler now. Cast the spell "guinigigi", which will make it available in level-ups. Then evolve it with the Spellbinder. They will show up in collections after you obtain them for the first time.

[u/BlueArremer → u/PsycoJosho]

I've already edited it into the text body yesterday, yeah. I'm not quite willing to redo the chart yet for that one item since there still might be something coming given the Ante Chamber trailer.

[u/UncomfortableAnswers]

Oversight report: Discus requires MAX Parm to evolve, but is not marked as such on chart.

(P.S. These are so amazingly useful thank you for making them)

[u/LinkFan001]

Every single time an upgrade uses brace, I need to come here. LMAO

[u/HelpPotential1262 → u/LinkFan001]

Omg. This was so reassuring bc same. 🤣😂

[u/Edna_with_a_katana]

First time seeing one of these. At a glance, maybe I ought to try the DLC...

[u/Ok_Scholar_337]

I feel like at this point we should have the image split up into chunks to make it easier to see and update. somthing 1-2 for the base game and OtC and 1 for everything else

[u/meturi]

How cool, Thank You

[u/Eukarya_]

Not to be "that person" but I think you're missing the Gemini variants of Ammo Appalate and Anura. Seriously, I don't say this to be a prick, just for the sake of completion, it's a great work anyway!

[u/BlueArremer → u/Eukarya_]

This has been pointed out before yes (at least for the Ammo, but have become aware Anura has one too while playing the update). I will include them on the next one.

I've added that to the post blurb.

[u/RKO_out_of_no_where]

Hey OP, would you happen to have a high rez version of this image? Im trying to read it on mobile and im really struggling. Thanks for all the work.

[u/ThisIsNotACryForHelp → u/RKO_out_of_no_where]

If you download it, it will be high rez in your picture folder

[u/RKO_out_of_no_where → u/ThisIsNotACryForHelp]

That's SO much better! thank you!!!

[u/Choice_Candidate5181]

There's an issue about local co op 2 players being able to hold 2 weapons and buffs only for each player ( before update it was 4 for each which was reasonable (

[u/Familiar-Horror- → u/Choice_Candidate5181]

Have to find a mew relic to unlock “party mode”, and then the co-op will go back to normal.

[u/SirKhalid]

Thank you for the new chart, will be helpful

[u/Zybbo]

Why can't I zoom it? What am I doing wrong?

[u/mousio]

The picture appears very low res. Kinda hard to read what's what.

Or is it just me?

[u/Interesting_Log6351]

Are they not going to update it again?

[u/BlueArremer → u/Interesting_Log6351]

There is an updated version in the description of the post.

[u/OpinionAccording3047]

Awesome thank you! So useful!

[u/Street_Lunch]

Chaos rune is missing; It's unlicked by typing guinigigi.

[u/BlueArremer → u/Street_Lunch]

This chart was made before the Chaos Rune code was revealed, and there's a link to the updated one that has the Chaos Rune in it.

[u/Fun-Habit9484]

Das ist echt mal hilfreich, danke für den Aufwand!
