The Oldest Weapon in Vampire Survivors Is Completely Broken

✵Playlist: • Vampire Survivors General
given how many limit break videos we did, it's actually really surprising that I've never done a Fire Wand one - Hellfire was done, but never the Fire Wand. While the start is quite difficult, the payoff is ginormous and the weapon quickly turns into a weapon of mass destruction - especially for the frame rate.

Speaking of projectile limits, the new engine has quite a higher cap for all weapons. It makes certain limit breaks way more entertaining.

[@DPH_Psychosis]

21:25 that near death moment and your followup commentary was one of the best moments I've seen on your channel.

[@DIMIchannel]

was about to say the same exact thing. damn that was clutch

[@Etiainen]

I love how you were SO happy to have survived that at 21:56, you just automatically switched to your native tongue

[@chaosempress]

16:23 “VAMPIRES HATE HIM! See how he doubled his level in 3 minutes with one simple trick”

(Article that has nothing to do with the title that’s filled with ads and sketchy links)

[@jaeusa160]

There's no such thing as Vampires, or Ghosts. This article is clickbait!

[@risingtoastcheesecake4730]

I'm pretty sure the reason for the insane lag is the heart of fire explosion, I remember that you took that arcana on the prismatic missle Limit break as well and it also caused insane amounts of lag once the explosions became really big

[@DexTag]

Yea, aoe triggers with low damage cause insane lag. Even Santa Water does that, it's less about the particles and more about the insane amount of updates that happen

[@mycharisbs]

@@DexTag Your Challenge Goal - Toastie to lvl 200 1 weapon only - Need to get Crimson Shroud Arcana requirement - Divine Bloodline, there's more but i'll leave that to you to figure out Stage - Abyss Foscari Hyper, Hurry, Arcanas, Limit Break, Inverse, Endless all turned on See what happens when the challenge is done, you'll want damage numbers to be on. Good luck

[@DexTag]

@@mycharisbs Thats...a bit a random place to request that xD If it's 1 weapon only that would mean I have to get the Laurel out of a Candybox, I dont like that as concept because its not guaranteed that will happen and can't be influenced. I guess there is a form of "penalty" to it that could be a valid point, a la - you have to wait until luck is maxed out to use chests, which means you cant pick them up to level up weapons, but even if you manage to do that it may just fail. If you allow me Divince Bloodline it will be really hard to lose. Even no movement challenges were won with Toastie and that Arcana, you scale up HP way too fast. Abyss Foscari - okay, I'd need to check enemy damage then for the prior statement, though starting with Awake and Divine Bloodline should fix that, would need to check it though. Could you elaborate why you want damage numbers to be shown? You dont need to fully reveal it, but just that I dont mess it up in case its something coded or something I should look out for, because I am an expert at unintentionally skipping these things.

[@mycharisbs]

@@DexTag Sorry, my brain sometimes You need to have weapons at 2, the 2nd slot is for Laurel yeah. I'm so used to having 1 slot weapons so much it defaults to 1 in memory. Divine Bloodline is needed to bring out the sheer potential of this combo, but yes, you are doing this on the hardest stage imo on the highest setting with no eggs. As for your last paragraph, that's the surprise, but you don't need damage numbers turned on until Toastie reaches lvl 200 with Shroud. I'll leave you with this, Crimson Shroud is hands down the most hilariously busted weapon in the game hands down XD, but don't spoil yourself until you see for yourself. And yeah, the challenge is you need to do this all with a character that's starting with exactly 1 hp. You will die a lot. You've broken every weapon......but Chrimson Shroud...... and this is the best and most satisfying way to do it. You'll see XD As for Endless it's your call tbh.

[@stratometal]

I used Sammy last night with firewand and carello and for arcanas Disco, Waltz and Iron will. INSANE! I am so glad I read somewhere to not give eggs to Sammy, I think I was level 2500 by the time my tablet shut down the app, it just could not handle the insanity on the screen. The gold rush number was blocking the entire screen at one point, all I heard was the level up and the carts rolling non stop and eyes and fireballs bouncing all over the place was making me nauseous but I could not unglue my face from the screen. Hypnotic.

[@StephenOwen]

This was such a classic dex video, your great and bubbly personality, and then really funny observations and humor on the last few minutes!

[@YDG666]

Can we stop here to appreciate the lag and how the animation of the 2D sprites enemies slowly evaporates and we can't clearly see it at normal speed?

[@zygis148]

I am always fascinated how you can make me chuckle and laught every video. You are one of the three youtubers that actually can. So keep up the good work and keep the good vibes in your videos:)

[@jaeusa160]

@38:45 For the record, it took NINE episodes for "Namek to explode in 5 minutes" in the original DBZ.

[@The_Nata]

0:30 no Boogaloo of Illusions? Who are you and what did you do to Dex? But understandable no one wants giant burning balls.

[@DPH_Psychosis]

Booooooogaaaalllooooooooooo-of-illuuuuuuuuuuuussiiooooons

[@SesshyLover777]

I swear talking with your hands thing is genetic man. I'm Italian American and we do it too 😅

[@Killgore316]

I had to fast forward. Kudos to you for being able to spend 2hours+ playing a 30-minute round.

[@gasYotube]

Weapons that can take advantage of the arcana that causes projectiles to bounce on impact become very powerful. It works for bosses like groups of monsters.

[@elricb1488]

For anyone wanting to play VS, it's currently part of the stream summer sale.

[@LAM_G80085]

Also free on mobile

[@chelsey-6887]

I love these types of games-

[@suzukiegi5699]

This was like watching a ground zero nuclear detonation.

[@Ran_Do]

this man leaked oppenheimer early.

[@Zorgdub]

That was amazing! One of the most intense video you've ever made, Dex.

[@butter_0021]

Dex. Can you please do a limit break video with Cosmo on the birds with Gemini?

[@boartank]

21:55 German relief for my own reference

[@newtonngames]

Dex sounds like Stewie from Family guy, and find that funny 😄👍

[@SchwafeltammLp]

Endlich wieder nen Video zum nebenbei laufenlassen :D

@@pr4y01 Danke Danke

[@whoopontrose2517]

When the game slowed down at 25min or so, i tried to see how many kills you get per second. It looked like 10k kills/second. So you basically spawncamp then with the slow mode

[@border427]

Ich hab mich ehrlich bisschen auf das Fire wand Video gefreut🔥

[@PrismariLaura]

Finally! I suggested this limit break soooooo long ago that now I'm not even sure if Limit Break was a thing LMAO

[@viperxq5204]

make a video with multiple weapon evolutions from the same passive item.

[@Fishman465]

Arcana and limit break seem made to help older weapons

[@DubStorm]

14:40 as an italian viewer, that was a nice italian speaking impression 😅😂

[@03xE0]

I wonder how long it´ll take for Dex to finally turn off damage numbers forever :/ Edit: Apparently only 31 minutes XD

[@DexTag]

If i need it to identify bosses and enemies closing in, you'll never see me turn it off

[@SimplyNotReally]

Id love to see you mod this stage to just allow another arcana at 21 minutes for these limit breaks. Though you may run into another O'Soulle situation hahaha

[@setLore]

you could say this was more op than vandalier

[@omarfaruque1095]

What an incredible fire wand run! The only problem I face with using only fire wand is it shoots random enemies instead of shooting the nearest one. Which really sucks because a lot of times it shoots the furthest enemy instead of the one that is right beside me. Because of this mechanic I can't even survive until limit break territory. Would appreciate some advices.

[@clarenced5770]

you are trying with all the right arcana ?

[@elgocian]

One of my favorites :)

[@ericzingapan2488]

Hi Dex, im just wondering if we can remove the eggs from a character. Kinda regret upgrading the characters ( ita not enjoyable anymore ) thanks

[@holbewoner393]

if playing on a character with 5000 or more eggs, a dark shadow will be south of your spawn, can see it on the map, and can purchase it as many times as you want (removes 100 eggs per purchase)

[@proshantochanda]

there should be an eggs button next to the weapon counter in character select that you can uncheck to turn off eggs

[@ericzingapan2488]

@@proshantochanda thank you so much for the help.

[@Z3R0o96]

why does your weapon not evolve when You pick up a chest? I think I missed something.

[@aidencrowe8146]

how do you not evolve your wand?

[@vorx64]

Good Video as always

[@patrickseran2035]

Why the fire wand didn't evolve? You have the spinach item.

[@chaosempress]

The seal powerup allows you to banish weapons/passives/items before a run including evolutions.

[@nuesworld1898]

Is this a Micheal Bay film?

[@FAHQGAMING]

wish I could get mine to do this well I got a decent pc but the lag is unbareable

[@NickArcade]

Do McCoy-Oni full curse one weapon with roulette and inverse. You will be crying.

[@alfredsmacks]

this is insane

[@adolfolerito6744]

Hey, it’s your biggest Italian fan again! Don’t worry, imitating Italian language in a silly, funny way will never be perceived as “racist” because in Italy the rules are that, if you’re the target of a joke/cultural stereotype/etc. then you will have to throw back another bigger joke/cultural stereotype 😂

[@thenonexistinghero]

Isn't empty tome kinda useless since this character maxes out cooldown anyway?

[@DexTag]

The character reaches 100% CDR, but is capped at 90%. Without Empty Tome you would only reach 60% CDR

[@thenonexistinghero]

@@DexTag Ah, I see. I do suppose you do need it then. BTW, I'm done with the PC version for now. Will watch your videos still since they're entertaining. I'll probably also buy the Switch version when it comes out and 100% that version.

[@WannabeDough]

Is this a mod to do this to the game?

[@Your_Degenerate]

Heh heh, speaking of fire breathing dragons. I made one.

[@jonathanlitterick7072]

hehe.. the vampires survived.. not so sure about the GFX card!!

14:50 was not that racist? That was not racist. I am German, just take the sausage For a moment that was pretty sus lmao

[@flavor6631]

Not that I care but yes it is racist and it doesn’t matter if your German 😂do you think only Americans are racist

[@user-kx5jz3js4t]

Is there a weapon in Vampire Survivors that isn't broken? I'm not accusing you of clickbaiting but...

[@certainlynotmalo1.0.06]

Party popper comes to my mind. And turtles having a good ol' time somehow...

[@michaelsorensen7567]

I mean the game leans into deliberately breaking everything, so probably not if you get the right circumstances
