Diff for "VampireSurvivors/WeaponReviews"

Guns

• Blade Crossbow: Bad. Basically a worse version of cross
• Diver mines: Base weapon is very bad. Evolution seems to lack damage.
• Laser: Pretty good. Works exactly as you would imagine. Evolution is ok with bouncing lasers, but damage is kinda low.

Ode to Castlevania

whips

• Alchemy whip: Actually very good. Leave a trail of fire. Evolution is just some fire balls on top. Not much extra. Very strong damage.

• Platinum Whip: It's ok. Can be used as a main weapon, but probably need a source of healing or armor. Usable after roughly level 4. The evolution is trash. Basically the base weapon + weak song of mana...

• Vibhuti Whip Not good as a main weapon. Pretty weak in the beginning, but becomes somewhat usable around level 4. The base weapon needs healing/armor even at max level. Evolution is ok. Doesn't seem to scale with area.

• Sonic whip Pretty good. Requires some skill to use well in the beginning. Evolution is kinda bad. Very directional.

• Dragon water whip Pretty strong in the beginning. Evolution has limited range but not bad. The rain can hold off early enemies, but not later waves.

• Wind whip: Good melee AOE. Full coverage. Evolution is not very different from original but still good.
• Jet black whip: Ok initially, gets pretty good as level up. Evolution is not very different from original, and only works on the top half of the screen. Good damage.
• Vanitas Whip: Very similar to the jet black whip, but the evolution is even worse with smaller AOE...

Glyphs

• Globus: Acts similar to rune tracer. Extremely weak at the beginning. Ok at max level. Evolution is trash.
• The wolf heads: Pretty strong. If you get one of them, you'll be offered the other two in level ups. Evolution is very directional, but very strong.

Tomes

• Refectio: It's meh. A bit slow. Small AOE. Damage is ok. Evolution is pretty good. Just a better version of the original in every way, with a long cooldown full screen high damage AOE.
• Keremet Bubbles: It's an interesting weapon. Not great in the beginning, but usable after a few levels and some CDR. Evolution is good.
• Hex: It's an ok main weapon, but a pretty good side weapon. Small and weird AoE. Evolution is good AoE. Both the original and the evolution are very high damage.

Other

• Trident: pretty meh, only attack horizontally, and only to the facing direction. Evolved damaged is pretty good.
• Mace: basically a better King Bible. Good. Evolution is very good with high damage crits.

• Star Flail: It's an ok side weapon, not a great main weapon. You'll have a hard time in the beginning. Need full CD to work. Evolution is ok, not great. Need limit break.

• Silver Revolver: It's ok. Usable after level 5. Doesn't work with Heart of Fire??. Evolution is still very directional, but good damage, and very fancy. But in practice pretty bad...

• Tyrfing: Kinda good. Evolution is very high damage when crit (?). But it only attach one side.

• Sonic dash: Not good. It's a very small high-damage bubble. The Evolution is the same weapon with bigger damage. That's it. However this could be a useful support item.

• Dominus Anger: Bad. Very hard to use.
• Dominus Hatred: Actually good, especially when leveled up.
• Power of Sire: The evolution of the Dominus weapons. Extremely good with full screen AOE.
• Alucard Spear: Pretty good. Will attack non-stop after a few levels and some cool down reduction. The base weapon actually covers the whole body. Evolution has good AOE. Both original and evolution have high damage.
• Confodere: Long cool down, low damage, and low damage. The final evolution is ok.
