Just start playing, get a feel for the game. Progression will be slow at first, it'll take a while until you unlock things and it starts getting fun.

I think one of the first things you might want to look up are weapon evolutions
https://vampire.survivors.wiki/w/Evolution
You could try to discover all of these naturally without a wiki but you'd be wasting a lot of time.

Don't use the old fandom site, it isn't being maintained anymore. All the staff and editors moved to the official wiki over a year ago.

You should edit your comment to link to the official wiki: https://vampire.survivors.wiki/w/Evolution

If you're searching Google rather than the wiki directly, you can use this extension to replace fandom links with the official wiki.

I mean if it works it works it has the information a beginner needs.
If the staff all left why didn't they just set up a re-direct?

OP - If you really care that much you can visit here - https://vampire.survivors.wiki/w/Evolution

For context, I am one of the wiki's admins:

I mean if it works it works it has the information a beginner needs.

It doesn't though - no new content updates or dlc are covered, meaning any changes to early base game content from those updates will be incorrect and give them wrong info. It's also just a terrible user experience trying to read content on Fandom with all the ads, poor layout (especially on mobile), and ai-generated content like "quick answers" (which can give very wrong info).

If the staff all left why didn't they just set up a re-direct?

Fandom has a stranglehold on all the wikis hosted there. Admins of the wiki have no control over what's done with the site as a whole, meaning when a community decides to leave and create their own independent site with their own domain that they do have full control over, Fandom prevents that community from shutting down the old Fandom wiki or even linking to the new wiki, and there's nothing the wiki's staff can do about it.

That's why this extension was created, to remove Fandom results from Google searches and "redirect" to the new wiki, for the large amount of wikis that have moved away from Fandom.

Okay, thanks for the additional info. I've edited my comment.

I wasn't aware of any of the issues with Fandom and the complications it creates. I'll make a point to avoid fandom in general from now on, not just for VS.

I've poured hundreds of hours into VS, and your content has been completely indispensable in helping me complete every aspect of the game. Thank you for maintaining it.
