In Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors, evolutions are the best way to obtain stronger cards. By combining two base cards according to their evolution recipe, you can get a much stronger one, such as the Hellfire or Holy Wand. There’s just one caveat: The game won’t tell you the evolution recipes before you’ve discovered them.
If you’d like to get stronger cards, here’s how to get all card evolutions in Vampire Crawlers.
How to evolve cards in Vampire Crawlers
Evolution refers to the process of combining one base attack card and one stat, defense, or mana upgrade card into a single, more powerful attack card. To get Hellfire, for example, you must sacrifice a Fire Wand and any type of Spinach card. Beware that the two base cards will disappear, and the mana cost of the newly evolved card will increase. That said, evolutions are almost always worth obtaining.
To evolve two base cards into a more powerful card, you must find an Evolution Gem. Such Gems may be hidden in treasure chests (usually the ones behind bosses) or other types of objects, such as a stone slate (the same type of object that may reward a Mana Orb). Beware that you won’t find any Evolution Gems until you’ve got enough cards for at least one evolution in your card deck.
In other words, it’s important to collect the right card combinations early to increase your chances of completing an evolution. Once you’ve got the correct card types in your deck, collect as much loot as you can to maximize your chances of obtaining an Evolution Gem. Beware, however, that the attack card must have an empty Gem slot, as the evolution takes up one slot. Don’t place gems on attack cards if you’d like to evolve them!
All evolutions in Vampire Crawlers
Here’s a list of all card evolutions in Vampire Crawlers. The “base cards” are the cards you must sacrifice, while the “evolution card” is the end result. If the “base card” category lists more than one card, you can pick whichever you prefer. Note that the damage is the card’s base amount, which will be affected by your buffs and combo stack.
