This hidden technique achieved the 1 Million Kill Record | Vampire Survivors

✵Playlist: • Vampire Survivors General
Today we go again at the 1 million kill record in a single run, something I started a long time ago, but as my initial goal was to do it with a single weapon, I lost interest in continuing it after suceeding using 2 weapons. However, today I wanted to give it another try with only 1 single weapon - and it would have failed yet again if curiosity wouldn't have gotten the better of me. As I noticed the current kills won't cut it, I started walking around looking for better places that I know off, and not only did I realize that walking around roughly increases kills by 20%, we also find one particular spot that bumps up the kill counter even more.

The hidden technique: Move

[@alanbareiro6806]

Basically, the Joestar secret technique

[@DexTag]

It's not about the movement, it's about the spot. The movement wasn't THAT surprising, just to a degree as it behaves differently on other weapons. There it's better to stand still instead of moving. But the spot gave ~100-200 more kills a second

[@ramiel555]

"Moving is better, but what if we stay still? No, that's worse." *Approximately 3 seconds later* "I wonder if staying still is better (it's not). Hmm, no I guess not." "BUT ALSO what if we stopped moving, I'm curious what would happen." *Same thing happens* 😲

Isn't that the definition of insanity? Trying the same thing over and over, and expecting a different response?

[@Zorgdub]

The base version of a weapon whose evolution sounds like "chong chong ... chong chong ... chong chong..." Uh, I can't stop thinking about what that might be.

[@MaximilianWorner]

Gatti Amari?

[@mauricebenink]

Im quite sure that moving allows you to free up spawning zone, so the enemies dying in a tick no longer use up the spawn space. Meaning you can spawn a lot more per tick, so my hypothesis is: if you basically onehit kill all enemies on screen at youll be able to increase kill count by increasing movespeed and moving around Walking diagonally might even work better if you can find a spot where you can do that without terrain blocking spawns

[@gasYotube]

The game has performance problems and from a certain point it begins to generate fewer enemies, when you move everything that cannot be seen disappears and can generate new enemies closer to you. The graphics engine explodes often when the fps drops.

[@mauricebenink]

@@gasYotube yes but if you kill them the same moment they spawn, they will still take up spawn space becuase they take a little time to die ( freeze makes this longer ) So if you kill them instantly they dont have time to despawn they already dropped thier xp and added a kill. You basically move to move the spawn zone away from the death animations. Allowing more enemies to spawn. Now if you dont instantly kill them when they spawn then this wont do anything :p

[@gasYotube]

@@mauricebenink I don't understand how the issue of resource use works when playing the game when there are many different elements on the screen.

[@jaeusa160]

@@mauricebenink I'm now wondering if my best runs around 800k could've crossed 1 million since I spent 15-20+ minutes in them standing still on this stage. It's just so tedious to keep moving for so long.

[@mauricebenink]

@@jaeusa160 well just try it, and try to sneak in wings :p

[@grogueQ]

Ooo, he got a candy box, I wonder if he's going to take something. Every single time, he has to have that moment to decide even though he knows and we know what he's going to do.

[@jaakkohintsala2597]

Been waiting for this one :D

[@mauricebenink]

I managed to get 850.000 on mobile with opheon and cosmo. So i think it should be possible to get 1.000.000 on pc with this combo too :p Start is very rhough, but the kills you get just keeps getting faster and faster, even last minutes 28:00 and 29:00 i got 76.000 kills

[@reaperzero9794]

Dex got us all edging with the cuts 😂

[@Your_Degenerate]

All the red and green skulls near the end reminds me of Christmas.

[@Dra2502]

Awesome!!

[@czef1r]

Hey Dex, could you revisit cats and see how they fair today and how many kills/dmg they can deal?

[@militzer]

OK that was super cool. :)

[@jaeusa160]

@8:20 I think regular Menya is better because you don't need to split limit break stats with a real Bocce. I'm surprised you weren't killing the 28min wave but I suppose that's the weakness of Menya. I wonder if Paranormal Scan could take this higher. On my best Random run for the Stats scaling with Godai Shuffle, I hit 220k damage per hit and 820k kills. That extra Duration and probably a few more Amount really make Godai Shuffle crazy. Paranormal Scan loves to give Amount too.

[@videomaniac6255]

I dont know how good of a spot it would have been, but what about je ne viv's arena, that seems pretty open and it doesn't spawn pots as far as im aware.

[@mgarcia2397]

I'm surprised Sammy kills less enemies even when he covers the screen and levels up infinitely

[@MrTuneslol]

It seems to increase the kill counter only when you move specifically to the right, or at least moreso when moving right.

[@Bersi992]

Is there a limit to the kill counter? If so is it possible to hit it in endless mode?

[@omega_ultima9362]

Dex, I learned to mod vampire survivors from an old video of yours, and now that the engine has changed, I am wondering if you still mod the game. Do you still have a method, and could you do a video sharing the process so I can get back into it?

[@Spurs2192]

What is the overall kill record regardless of time and weapons amount?

[@Scnottaken]

I wonder if it would have been at all beneficial to save a whole lot of xp near the end to have the weapon trigger more often

[@Donnytag]

sounds like you tried out Lightning Ring first?

[@gyutarocx]

BOOGALOOOOO OF ILLUSIONNNNNS

[@DIMIchannel]

menya did it then. she is slept on incredibly op

[@TheAngelChaz]

Is there a mod that lets you zoom out? So that you can see the spawn zones?

[@kotofelius]

In mod (VSTweaks (New Engine)) I added not only the kill counter but zoom too.

[@mahdimahdii3880]

Do 0 kill run with clock lance

[@generationxpvp]

Lightning ring and evolution? Sounds like your original combo

[@jaeusa160]

@6:10 Attractorb works entirely fine with Wicked Season, especially if the weapon exp caps the screen as quickly as many of these do. For me, the biggest difference is that I can just do a large blind circle and not care what items are where because I'll get everything. It also reduces lag in the late game by not having a million item spawns laying around. Even my old toaster never had lag issues due to my preference. Having a preference in play is fine, but you're simply wrong thinking you can't do these runs with bonus pickup radius. You can. It's easy. You have your preference. Others have theirs. Commenters are wrong to harp on it, but comments are just like that. You are hardly playing the game wrong, but I'm also going to say I'm not.

[@03xE0]

So, what´s the actual damage limit? :/

[@DexTag]

I'd almost assume it's the same as the gold limit (and most other stat limits), so 3.4e+34

[@grogueQ]

My favorite video games are the ones with a lot of mathematics.

[@Magic_Toaster]

But what about a 2 million kill run?

Do you have mods? If so how?

[@Lusquitas]

abyss foscari is really good

[@vermilisix]

You can get evolutions earlier in some stages, including this one (Abyss Foscari)

[@DexTag]

The entire "10 minute evolution chest" thing is an old fragment that hasn't been accurate for a long time. -Mad Forest can evolve with the minute 1 chest (yes, the very first map) -Dairy Plant can evolve with every chest -Capella can evolve with every chest So out of the 5 main stages, only 2 have evolutions starting at 10 minutes (or rather, the bosses that spawn), though Mad Forest can also be counted to this because I don't think it's realistic to expect someone to keep around the chance-based minute 1 chest and to not use it right away without knowing it can evolve.

Day 3 of asking Dex to play Eclipse Breaker

[@user-bc9nq1kz6j]

Forbidden technique mash report yeah on my game fucking among us crewmate just become fucking God himself

[@kotofelius]

Dex, I updated the mod

[@DexTag]

Saw it, thanks! Looks really great with the overview, especially as it displays more than ever before. One thing I noticed though: It seems to stutter the game frequently, where it freezes especially when explosions/rosaries happen. I don't have any settings changed so it's either the mod or a conflict of some sort I don't understand

[@kotofelius]

@@DexTag Long story short, I need to trigger a costly calculation when a new projectiles is added (when weapon is added or needs more than 50 projectiles). However, I am not sure why freezes occurred during the ‘rosary’. I removed this expensive calculation, but several weapons lost their ability to be color-corrected.

[@DexTag]

So I noticed a weird thing, when I use the mod it turns stuff blurry when I get area. It happened in a few limit breaks but I assumed it's just the new weapons, however when I went for Heaven Sword and it also happened, I asked on the Discord and someone else had it normal (just the size increased but not blurry), so I moved out the mod and yea, it worked all as normal for me, no blurry effect. Any clue how that could happen?

[@kotofelius]

​@@DexTag In order to enable texture editing, I need to create a copy of the texture. Most likely, I didn't copy the filtering mode, and it was set to Bilinear instead of Point. I've just fixed this in version 1.3.2.

What do you have against the paranormal scan bro , it just makes me mad every time like no one cares about the "solo"

[@asdf30111]

To be honest kinda getting peeved each video he just does not take it.

[@raktajino7443]

Personally, I think it's interesting to see if he can pull it off without Paranormal Scan. I don't always agree with some of the choices, but that's why I watch. It's fun to see how Dex does it (and messes up sometimes) and not every run has to be optimized. But, we all got our opinions. :)

[@gamerdian1048]

@@raktajino7443 yeah bro recently got like a 29:59 XD ik im still kinda madge tho

[@DexTag]

For 2 reasons: -It's not a solo weapon run anymore. That's the point of the solo weapon limit break videos, which I think you refer to. It's fine to not like it, you don't need to watch it. I take them when I did a solo run already or solo wasn't possible -Paranormal Scan would've been the worse choice here. The entire thing is about getting to max kills ASAP and Paranormal Scan heavily delays that. Maxing out Area ASAP on the main weapon is most important to get kills as quickly as possible -It's just a game, relax

[@gamerdian1048]

@@DexTag yes ik idrc i liked the video, i watch all your stuff. Im not complaining about it bec i have all the dlcs and i too play the game . The thing is everytime you don't take it my brain just doesn't feel happy lol
