How to Get Arcana XIII – Wicked Season in Vampire Survivors

You can unlock Arcana XIII – Wicked Season by reaching Level 50 with Christine Davain at any stage in Vampire Survivors. Christine Davain is a girl who has Pentagram as the starting item. If you haven’t unlocked Christine Davain by now, you can unlock her by leveling a Pentagram to Level 7 after you accidentally stumble upon it during any of your runs. If you do not see Pentagram in your runs, you can unlock it by surviving for 20 minutes with any character on any stage in Vampire Survivors.

How to Get Level 50 With Christine in Vampire Survivors

Reaching Level 50 with Christine Davain in Vampire Survivors is not a very difficult endeavor. It’s wholeheartedly advised to have all of the available PowerUps at max (except Curse), but if you’re just starting out in Vampire Survivors, you will have to make some tough choices:

  • Get the experience gain boost to speed up the leveling process.
  • Get the revivals boost as a failsafe
  • Get all offensive boosts (cooldown, damage) so you can deal more damage.
  • Get regeneration and max health boost (so you can survive more).
  • Get luck if you have some extra gold, so Pentagram deletes fewer of your pickups every time it triggers.

When you start your run, Pentagram will be a liability, so as soon as you spot a clover (luck boost) grab it. The luckier you are, the fewer chances there are that it will wipe all ungathered XP gems and other cool rewards. As for the other weapon and passive ability choices, you won’t make many mistakes, but just in case, here are some suggestions for weapons:

  • Garlic
  • King Bible
  • Phiera der Tuphello and Eight the Sparrow
  • Laurel

As far as passive abilities are concerned, check out the following ones:

  • Empty Tome (cooldown reduction, more damage output)
  • Pummarola (health regen combines with Garlic)
  • Crown (boosts XP gain and merges with Pentagram into one of the most broken weapons early on)
  • Tiragisu (revivals + merges with Phiera der Tuphello and Eight the Sparrow into one of the most broken weapons early on
  • Spellbinder (merges with King Bible)

Let’s not kid ourselves; this will be extra hard, so make sure to choose Mad Forest since it’s the first stage (and the easiest). It’s key that you establish a diverse arsenal of weapons as early as you can because Pentagram has a long cooldown.

What Does Arcana XIII – Wicked Season Do in Vampire Survivors?

Arcana XIII – Wicked Seasons doubles your Growth, Luck, Greed, and Curse one by one in a cyclical manner. This will be indicated by the symbol under your character. Your character also gains +1% Growth, Luck, Greed, and Curse every two levels, so it’s safe to say that this Arcana can spin out of control very fast. Be extra careful when Curse is doubled, because in that interval, your enemies will be very strong and very fast.
