This Most Broken Weapon Beat The Highest Difficulty in Vampire Survivors

[@DexTag]

Note to everyone: Since this has 3 runs in it, the video is segmented with time stamps and you can skip ahead as you please, given 47 minutes is quite a chunk.

[@lolimmune]

Welcome back dex

[@seekland120]

Hi dex it’s me seekland120 from multicraft

[@ExcelInstructor]

One Comment written.

[@imperatacylindrica8993]

I play the DLC and honestly my favourite part is the new map. It feels like one of those old RPGs and I really like how there are multiple environments with unique enemies. A close second is McCoy Oni with Soul Eater, Unholy Vespers, Festive Winds, and Phieraggi.

[@WhirlyBeepBoops]

Yeah, it's interesting how they made what enemies you find depend on where you are on the map. Also, yes, McCoy's innate passive makes for super silly runs lol

[@rexlupis]

The damage is going up because Four Seasons / Godai Shuffle has its damage affected by amount and duration. Since you gained more duration from box and spellbinder, it increased in damage. Only about 20 minutes into the video but you kept asking the same question, so I figured I'd just comment... Sorry if you figure it out by the end.

[@YourIQDoesntMeanShitToMe]

Nah man, you're helping and telling this to us who read the comments too. Even if Dex had figured it out, a lot of people here just learned through you. You shouldn't apologize, you should be appreciated.

[@Oldmeme592]

Thanks for the info

[@ssjcrafter8842]

the "four seasons" weapon occasionally have "explosions"(I think on hit) which also have kanji on them. the kanji 夏 means summer, 冬 means winter, 春 means spring and 秋 means fall/autumn. The colors of the leaves from the explosion are also the colors associated with the season in Japan. the evolution has the kanji of earth(地), fire(火), wind(風), water(水) and air/void/sky(空)(it seems to be sky here as lightning shoots out). imo it could've been better to use the chinese elements for the evolution(fire, water, wood, earth, metal) but oh well TBH I think this weapon is better for library since enemies come from the sides, which is where the weapon attacks

[@Jengamouse]

The whole dlc is themed around japan so the chinese characters wouldn't fit with that.

[@dharam_ntkt]

using the Chinese elements for Godai Shuffle wouldn't make sense to me, considering everything else in the Legacy of the Moonspell is Japanese-themed ー the characters, the enemies, the weapons and the design of Mount Moonspell that being said, i would love to see a Chinese-folklore-themed DLC, with all their unique ghouls and ghosts, especially the Four Symbols and Four Perils, as well as Jiangshi (the hopping vampire) as a joke enemy

[@ssjcrafter8842]

the reason I said Chinese elements is because they were adopted by Japan, so it still makes sense and fits. Onmyoji, for example, use the chinese elements as well(and other stuff)

[@cheese_vviz]

Four seasons is also a pizza name

[@cancanops]

For those who don't know, kanji means "Chinese characters" in Japanese, because that's where they came from. The five-element split is also common in East Asia.

[@Timmothy_plays]

I love that Godai Shuffle can first become so big that it's as visually cluttered as the catfights but eventually with enough Area it then becomes visually clean again.

[@Nemesis0405]

Still love playing this game from time to time and I usually come back at least once for every update (153h total so far). I really liked the DLC. Having a fully developed map instead of just a simple repeating pattern allows for a lot more creativity with the map design. The new weapons and characters are also very unique and interesting. Also the soundtrack once again is an absolute banger!

[@AlphaSeagull]

I always figured Four seasons had crazy max damage thanks to the amount and duration scaling. Imagine on a high Golden Egg count character

[@AlphaSeagull]

The reason the enemies died despite being on top of you is because Four Seasons has a misleading hitbox size. Once the area gets high enough to reach the corners of the screen, the sprite remains the same and the hitboxes no longer move, but they do grow larger. After so many Area increases through limit break, your seasons were actually big enough to hit the enemies on you

[@laharlkent]

Love the new map, enemies being different depending on where you are is great, I kinda like/love the seal power too. two weapons using the same passives is something I was asking for before Sigma came out.

[@certainlynotmalo1.0.0]

That map is awesome. I always thought the dev could do so much more with map design. It's not THAT much work, and the result speaks for itself.

[@Jengamouse]

How interesting, unlike almost every other weapon, this one actually increases your visibility as it gets stronger.

[@sonixsharkz7578]

IM SO HAPPY YOUR BACK ive been missing your uploads you were the one who convinced me to get into vampire survivors and I’ve absolutely loved it I’ve beaten the game and I’m working on figuring out all the secrets!

[@aquainebay3848]

I love the DLC. It brings a whole different way to play the game instead of just running around a endless map. Enemies spawning in certain spots is also really cool. I like the varying strengths they also have in the map because it almost feels like an RPG in a way. Favorite of the DLC characters is Syuuto.

[@nocteexmortis979]

Welcome back, Dex! So far my favorite part of the DLC had been the castle section.

[@Rhyoki]

Thank you for all the help! I've been playing since release, and your videos sold me on the DLC, plus you helped me learn all of the combinations for the evolutions. Thank you, Dex!

[@benjaminherbert9232]

I've moved away from actually playing Bullet Heaven games for now. Really enjoying Civ6 and Dead Cells. But I love your vids and your presentation style Dex and look forward to seeing you bring your comedy into your runs on these games! Haven't played the Vamp DLC yet, as I've had my fill over the past few months with this, Brotato, Soulstone, etc. But I've watched all the vids you put out and I look forward to jumping back in when I want to play this style of game again. Glad to see you back, hope you had a happy holiday season!

[@NaThAncient]

Dex! Welcome back! ❤My favorite part of the DLC is that it allows you to make more content without it becoming too stale. The game is awesome and I've played it a lot, but watching the same maps with the same weapons has its limits.

[@xSnowscopes]

hello dex, this is a comment about me liking vampire survivors, ive been binging your playlists, so glad to see it back!

[@Shadowhurtz]

glad to have you back! Bought the DLC on day one (for me and a friend), and 100%'d it. Favorite part is 100% the first Moonspell. Infinite health scaling? Yes thank you!

[@jaeusa160]

I was surprised just how monstrously this weapon takes off when evolved, when it can protect you, and you start racking up Area. There is another new weapon I consider stronger overall since it never has a weak point ever, starts strong and just gets even stronger. :O

[@jimmypickins]

I stop playing until new stuff comes out and then unlock it. Price is 100% justified and hope they do more. It's not great for extra content so you're not missing out if you don't have it, but still adds a ton to the game. Only thing I feel is missing is more seals to block weapons, or more banishes. Love playing victory sword, cursed sword, and healing wand 3 weapon build! Good luck with the return! hopefully this comment helps!

[@andreasrapp5758]

Love your content. Has given me a much better insight in to how the game works. Much appreciated!

[@fedor_zhilkin]

YES!!! I was waiting for this so long!!! Dex, it’s super🔥

[@Dachi40]

I’ve been binging VS and your channel a lot lately, finally decided to sub. Keep it up man

[@TheAngelChaz]

I loved the DLC but I need more again already! Also glad to have you back dex! I’ve missed my dose of crazy German laughter!

[@SkywalterDBZ]

You mentioned not knowing why you had 5 explosions and commented on the art. The weapon is called 4 seasons and the 4 original explosions are Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter (Top to Bottom, Left to Right) with their appropriate Japanese Kanji characters on them. When you evolve the Kanji change to Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water (same order as above) and the middle explosion is Sky.

[@YourIQDoesntMeanShitToMe]

But asking the important questions, why is the middle explosion not a tree?

[@KrystalTide]

My favourite part of the DLC would have to be the new characters, they have so much potential for limit breaks and its brought hours of fun for me so far! Also glad your back!

[@gamblingduck7057]

I loved the new characters and weapons in the DLC, it even inspired me to play for like a week straight and 100% the game. ❤❤❤

[@dancofo]

I love this DLC, and I'm so glad you are back to making videos again. We missed you!

[@aarontavis8085]

Glad to have you back!

[@Bersi992]

Idk if someone commented already but whatever... Four Season: "春" (top left) Haru = "Spring" "夏" (top right) Natsu = "Summer" "秋" (bottom left) Aki = "Autumn" "冬" (bottom right) Fuyu = "Winter" Godai Shuffle: (五大 Godai = "Five Wheels/Rings" (non literal translation) represent the elements from esoteric japanese buddhism) "地" (top left) Chi/Tsuchi = "Earth" "風" (top right) Fu/Kaze = "Wind" "火" (bottom left) Ka/Hi = "Fire" "水" (bottom right) Sui/Mizu = "Water" "空" (center) Ku/Sora = "Emptiness/Void", as well as "Sky" but not in this case

[@Alex84575]

Despite the break I was still recommended your video in my home page and side bar which is nice. The weapon did very well for that map and difficulty, I expect the massive range will result in a lot of kills on library.

[@jackamole8627]

here's to a good 2023 with more content from Dex!

[@tomoflore]

Hey Dex, great to see you uploading again! Hope you had a good break.

[@TheMothershipD]

Great job on the VS series! It’s been my primary game for a few weeks and having a blast with unlocks and secrets. New content is great and I agree with other comments about the new map being the highlight. I do think it would be a nice quality of life improvement to see your randomazzo, weapon, and item descriptions within the level up screen. So many items it’s hard to remember all effects/ignores. But the workaround is keeping the wiki open. I’ve only played with Xbox game pad.

[@BabydoomXx]

Glad to see you back to uploading :)

[@critterthing9433]

First at all, I'm happy you're back. I played the DLC. I dont' like the new Characters very much but I the weapon Silver Wind and it's Evolution Festive Winds. The new Map is Awesome, too

[@ussopalain7262]

Glad to see you back !

[@xXNorfairXx]

First of all, welcome back, man. I'm really lost with the VS updates, it seems like the game is even more crazier now 🤩

[@DubbedAnimeAndLife]

I am still unlocking things prior to playing the DLC. Love the vids, keep up the good work, Dex.

[@Beehj84]

I bought the game & DLC on Christmas Eve. I played about 26 hours of the game by NYE. Currently I'm sitting at about 37 hours in and 147 (92%) unlocks. Love the game - it's exceptional value (and I bought/gifted a copy to my friend for Christmas), and I'm trying to 100% complete before I start properly limit-breaking weapons. Moonspell and Silverwind are my favourites of the DLC thus far. The map is great too.

[@Squallah]

Glad you're back, dude. Good video.

[@thelordelric8424]

Good to see you back Dex. Hope your break went ok.

[@nataponj349]

Welcom back Dex. I love Mirage Robe and 108 Bocce. Can't wait for your video.

[@Kalesoup_]

14:29 lmao, Dex talking to himself. Happens to the best of us

[@freddan1247]

I have missed your videos❤️❤️❤️

[@kyreevlade31]

Yooow welcome back man! Been waiting for your videos

[@lewandowski1313]

Love your content! Also I haven’t played this game yet as I was into my ps5 but this year of 2023 will mostly be a PC year for me so definitely getting this game. Watched almost all of your videos for it.

[@freddan1247]

Hello dex fun that your back

[@Supergroundoun]

helping with the algorithm, amazing video as always Dex!

[@Xsoskeleton]

the Kanjis showing are elements yes, on Godai Shuffle top left is earth, top right wind, bottom left fire, bottom right water, center is sky/space

[@cyla4828]

yes I bought the DLC to give the team some love : the original price for the base game was really low, so you know...nice little DLC btw

[@cporly3051]

Should be: Top-Left - Earth Down-Left - Fire Top-Right - Wind Down-Right - Water Center - Void

[@kohinonion1794]

I started playing this game on my phone and I'm trying to remember Dex's videos along the way.

[@mayou4508]

good to have you back

[@drawbyyourselve]

The kanji on the weapon are; top left: Spring, top right: Summer, bottom left: Autumn and bottom right: Winter; japanese/chinese kanji, going by the overall aesthetic of the update I would go with Japanese (although technically kanji originate in china) The evolved weapon has top right: earth, top left: air, bottom left: fire, bottom right: water and centered on you: empty nothing. the empty character has a lot of different meanings and could be heaven, though a different kanji is much closer in meaning and it might just stand for the void between elements in taoism/shintoism but i am in no means an expert.

[@Nyxeme]

Love the VS videos Dex! Keep em coming!

[@lunatic58]

Hey! Hey! Glad to see your back :D

[@Zorgdub]

Welcome back, Dex!

[@Razulki]

Welcome back! Good to see you. The DLC is pretty dope. Worth the $2 USD.

[@silentfox9359]

DLC was great. Godei the most broken weapon? I mean the dmg is great but it takes quite a while to get enough area to close the gaps. Out of the new weapons Echo Night seems the best to me for now. Victory Sword + Muramasa has been my favourite combination. Muramasa procing retatliations is so good. BTW you can't lose out on Zen mode. If you hit a kill threshold before the current one runs out the next one will be queued up after the current runs out.

[@xombiefooker]

Welcome back Dex!

[@shadowsul4266]

Hi everyone , hi Dex . Yours ''Not moving'' and ''Limit Break'' videos inspired me to try something different , in this case to get Hollow Heart for Toastie AFTER he reach lvl 100 and try to kill the Reaper without Laurel=Grimson Schroud and without Clock Lancet=Infinite Corridor and without Armor ! Toastie 500+lvl with 20 000+ hp vs The Reaper sound crazy enough for me :) so the question its , do you have video with this kind of setup ? "Yes" can you share it with us ? "Nope" do you like to make one for us? Thanks , good luck and have a nice day :) P.S. keep up with the good work Dex , your name look good among the Comunity Supporters :)

[@Schnarchnase]

I found this rogue like autobattle game yesterday and thought, maybe Dex will enjoy it. Dungeon 100 It feels like the perfect game for your way to do commentary :)

[@DimbleDoom]

I just got vampire survivors and I’m loving it. Can’t wait to play the dlc!

[@helmutlvx]

I bought the DLC just for the map and it was totally worth it, imo. By the way, the on screen effect of Four Seasons / Godai Shuffle says Earth (top left), Wind (top right), Fire (bottom left), and Water (bottom right) and Sky in the middle when it evolves.

[@luckystars4208]

I like the DLC a lot. I can't argue with more characters, weapons, items and a new stage in a game like this. My favorite part is playing with the new characters, some who have some really cool abilities, and seeing they synergize with different things (Babi-Onna and McCoy-Oni can do some wacky things). Currently, I backed up my old save file and started fresh to reexperience the game. They made it kind of hard to do that, unfortunately.

[@jrgensolheim9004]

Really loving the new evos. Having multiple wep evos per item really changes builds in a fun way

[@bebedordecoca]

I'm intending to buy the DLC, it is only $5 in my local currency, which is insane because this can't even buy a 1 litter coke here! Anyway, I'm loving your channel, I've been searching a VS channel for a while, yours is the best! Да здравствует Декс!

[@Volition366]

the best part about the dlc is babi-ona with gorgeous moon

[@FishSkeleton-]

I took some time away from the game around the time when the character with the hashtag symbol weapon came out. I was getting a bit overwhelmed with all the secrets and conditions to unlocking new characters. The new phone version of the game reignited my interest and now I'm trying to catch up on everything I missed! 🦇

[@equious8413]

Sacrifice to the Algo god. Missed ya, Dex.

[@amebee709]

I stopped playing VS since august last year but recently got back into it. I bought the DLC and have played over 10 hours in the last 3 days.

[@lunatic58]

Let the algorithm god's and goddesses bless Dex's channel with lots of traffic, and generous ad revenue ;D

[@M_Gargantua]

Wings work good with Menya for that reason, you benefit from the mobility to keep the high DPS of four seasons on target

[@TheGammaGam3r]

Welcome back!

[@PreacherwithoutaPulpit]

Okay so I had to come back and edit this comment because something drastically changed. I don't know if I finally hit the tipping point for Golden Egg count at 260,892 eggs on my Trouser or if there was a patch to the game but now in just an half hour run, (30 minutes on ingame timer), as described below I am getting 180,000,000 gold, yes you read that right 180 million plus gold in an half hour. I'm using the same build on him same Arcana everything and still on Moonglow but WOW, just WOW. There must have been a patch or something I'm unaware of it can't just be that I hit some tipping point, can it? Now the strat for Gold Farming I laid out below is even more viable. Have fun with it folks, I know I'm going to... So good to see your back as it was like an old friend just disappeared for awhile. I've missed your commentary and laughter. As you can tell by the wall of text below and I have what I think is the best "Gold Farm" in the game currently whether for a quick half hour run or to walk away and go AFK and I think you could make a hell of a video out of it. I doubt you'll actually see this but I hope you do as I've got an idea for you for AFK Gold Farming that it's taken me a couple weeks to perfect and close to 300 hours of testing now. You have to use your Egg'ed Trouser because the more Eggs on him the better but you can start with none on him and it will still work with just a lower result in Gold. You go to the Moonglow Stage and turn on every Stage Modifier, Hyper, Hurry, Inverse, Endless, all of them every single check box. You can grab whatever passives you want on the stage and I always take "Torona's Box", "Crown" and "Attract Orb" other than it's whatever you need if you're doing this with no Eggs on your Trouser. Start with just 1 weapon and out of the Candy Box you start with choose Greatest Jubilee. Your Arcanas should be in this order Disco of Gold, Wicked Season, Blood Astronomona, Silent Old Sanctuary and last is the one that gives plus one amount to starting weapon and 3 to it's evolution. The last two are just fillers that I've found do not introduce any lag to the game when taken. Then at the 3 minute boss chest you'll be offered the "Turbo Candy Box" you want to take "Soul Eater" from it. On the "Arcana" you'll start with "Disco of Gold", (we're gold farming after all and levels don't really matter at first). Then go to the Merchant and you want to grab Wicked Season". The 3rd Arcana can be grabbed from the chest at 11 or 13 mins I think it is and that is of course "Blood Astronomona" or however it's spelled and that's the reason you want "Soul Eater". The damage from that Arcana is like nothing else I've seen in game in this build with DPS in the millions. After that the Arcana you choose really doesn't matter but you want to stay away from anything that could introduce lag in the game so no "Boogaloo of Illusions" or any of the other Arcana that change different stats, ever. "Divine Bloodline" doesn't fit the build and causes lag, Heart of Fire huge lag and to be honest once you have the first three you only need fillers so that if a boss dies on top of you it doesn't stall the game if you're AFK waiting on you to pick an "Arcana". Once you have 5 total Arcana on Moonglow Inverse and Endless the only way to get more of them is from the merchant but until you have 5 total the boss chest drops can offer you more. The stage "Moonglow" has far better earnings than any other stage in game including the "Bone Zone" with the added bonus of "Mini Guardians" that spawn every 14 minutes or so I think it is granting you and additional 4 "Golden Eggs" every time they spawn and you kill them. I now make at least 18 million plus gold in the first 30 minutes of a run which turns into over 36 million plus per hour with this method. Trust me I've ran on every single stage more times than I can count and tested different builds an insane amount of times to come up with this method to either farm some quick gold or walk away and let the game play itself while it makes me rich. In the last two weeks I've banked over 5 Billion with a B gold and I started doing this with an un-egged Trouser. I haven't let it run for but a few overnight farms to get that amount. I've only got 256k Eggs on my Trouser now because I'm not sure adding more would do anything other than add to the 2k+ re-rolls, skips, banishes, 19k+ health, 1500 or so armor, amount and revivals. All my other stats are around 15k with cooldown over 2k. I really don't think adding more of stats would help speed things up any because I think I've more than capped out but I may buy a 100k or so more Eggs for him just for fun to see if it changes anything. I don't remember you every doing a "Limit Break" video on "Greatest Jubilee" but if you haven't you really need to as I think you'll be shocked by what you find even though it has no evolution the damage numbers are insane. Also you need to go to "Moonglow" because the "Big Shadow of Avatar" that used to only remove random "Golden Eggs" 100 at a time will now removes all "Golden Eggs" from the Speed stat once you're over a certain amount and resets your movement stat to the characters base movement speed. So any egg'ed character you have that is basically unplayable unless tabbed can now be reset to it's original movement stat without removing any other eggs, which is awesome... Again so happy you're back and can't wait to see what you come up with...

[@JoeBee9]

I love the new weapons in the DLC the most; especially Four Seasons and Summon Night. I ended up adding them to my main build. I wish Muramasa was more powerful though (given how it drains your health); does noticeably less damage than many other evolved weapons even with the Slash arcana.

[@TrimVanelsa]

The broken DLC new character is No Cooldown Gorgeous Moon 😅 That character effect, If you move Reset 1 weapon Cooldown 😎

[@فهدالمالكي-ذ9س]

I don't know what to say but I love your content keep going

[@dragonlex4]

Although kanjis on four seasons are Japanese the concept is Chinese/Korean (believe me it gets confusing). Those elements are supposed to be fire, metal/gold/earth (depends on translation and some other stuff), Wood (yes wood, aka nature wind and other stuff but called just wood), water and Energy/sky (it differentiates between Chinese and Korean versions). It honestly depends if it's supposed to be a Chinese martial artist or Korean.

[@NieJestemWikingiem]

11:45 that is, of course, the five seasons. spring, summer, autumn, winter and Dex

[@vladgaedel8521]

my favorite part of the new dlc is watching dex playing it lol

[@KN81257]

Loving the videos for the DLC

[@rpgdavida129]

Good content bro!

[@dorcusss3693]

the evolved version of this weapon is playing tricks on my eyes. if i look straight in the middle while the character's moving it gives the illusion of the character teleporting around... or maybe it's just me idk

[@joeykenoy]

Kommentar für den Algorithmus. Aber da du wissen wolltest, ob und wie wir den dlc gespielt haben: Hatte ihn relativ schnell durch, leider. Ich finde es aber sehr geil, dass items jetzt für zwei evolutions sorgen können. Macht die builds interessanter. Ich hatte einen Run in der bonezone, bei dem ich 3.5 Millionen in einer Stunde gefarmt habe. Das war mein bester Moneyrun überhaupt in dem Spiel. Leider reizt es mich gar nicht zu spielen, ohne etwas verdienen zu können. Deshalb sollte da auch etwas kommen, das man kaufen kann oder bezahlen muss, ggf irgendwas immer wieder freischalten. Extraitems oder irgendwas, bin gerade nicht kreativ. :D Aber wenn ich alles freigeschaltet habe, macht es mir nicht mehr Spaß genug.

[@Schnarchnase]

I started the DLC two days ago. Hadn't played VS since 0.9 I guess the new map is my favourite part. One Weapon only runs are my favourite overall. Did Four Seasons yesterday. It's.. something. Early on I got clapped, but once I get the evolution, I win haha

[@Arghyaaps]

[@mark86016]

[@GoticoArrombado]

Could you do a limit break video on Mirage Robe? It's a super fun weapon and gets quite broken with it's evolution imo

[@jaeusa160]

@44:00 If this wasn't Inverse, I think you'd be spawn killing them, but that Inverse HP is insane. Godai Shuffle at the top of my own personal Limit Break experience, but it definitely struggles a lot more than Victory Sword and [another DLC weapon I won't spoil]. Kind of like super Santa Water, terrible early game, spawn camping lategame. :D

[@11075Loqhi]

Welcome back 😀

[@egeelmas7092]

Welcome back

[@xBlurp]

i bought the dlc, but i don't play yet cuz i am more busy right now, but i love watching your vids of VS

[@moobo3944]

My new favorite way to play the game is to play Megalo Syuuto and limit break all of the melee type weapons in this game (Vento Sacro, Victory sword, bloody tear, the other one with the big name). Though just Victory sword and the Muramasa is also cool. Also I LOVE McCoy Oni just because hes a big funny tanuki

[@StonedMonkeyProductions]

100% completion minus 2 hidden characters. Mainly cause the bird one with the piano somehow for me is a massive pain to get to go. Favorite part of dlc is the weapon your using. The evo is stupid powerful especially doing gold runs in bone zone with queen. I run 2 weapons firework as second and them when evo candy box hits i get this weapons evo and just go ham. Average gold get is 4 to 5 million in 30 mins

[@DashtheBard]

You know, I think the thing I like most about the DLC is the new weapons. It makes for some new and interesting builds.

[@jaeusa160]

The new weapons make for some very pretty builds too.

[@andrewt9204]

So I copied the evolved symbols onto a piece of paper and according to google translate: middle = Null or Empty top right = wind bottom right = water bottom left = fire top left = land I'm not sure what Null is supposed to be or if the translate is too rough. EDIT: I see someone has translated and "null" is void/sky. Makes sense since it's a sky blue color.

[@ooftedanimal6909]

Algorithm comment dlc good video good fun youtube recommendations 👍 Also btw I’ve tried wicked season four season only, doable but try saving chickens for curse doubling.
