All Weapon Evolutions in Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors

Developer Poncle has returned with the follow-up to Vampire Survivors, and this time it’s a card-battling dungeon crawler! Vampire Crawlers will feel both incredibly familiar to fans, while being an entirely different kind of game.

This guide will help you remember how to acquire evolutions, as well as go in-depth on what’s needed to form them.

How to Evolve Weapons

While the idea of putting two specific cards together to evolve them is similar to mechanics in Vampire Survivors, the process of getting that evolution is a bit different. For starters, you need to have both the cards required in an evolution, not a gem. This can be a bit confusing at first; some defense cards and stat cards share icons and abilities with gems that can be inserted into any card. For example, putting an Armor Gem into a card is not the same as having an Armor card for evolution. However, placing a gem onto one of your cards makes it ineligible for evolution, so consider carefully where you put your gems.

To create an evolution, you first need the prerequisite cards in your deck. The chart below shows you the card combinations. Once you have them, you’ll need to find either a treasure chest or a statue in the level. Breaking the right kind of statue will reveal a red orb, which will grant an evolution if you have the correct cards. Otherwise, you’ll have to pick from a different set of rewards. The same goes for treasure chests; opening one without a combination will only grant you powerful gem rewards. They’re not bad, they’re just not evolutions. Once you meet the requirements and find the red orb in a chest or statue, you’ll be able to select what cards you want to use for an evolution.

Note that some passives and stat-boost cards have multiple “tiers.” For example, there is Armor, Golden Armor, and Rainbow Armor. Each card is stronger than the last, but any can be used for the evolutions. However, using Rainbow Armor does not make the Runetracer evolution any stronger than using a normal Armor. Avoid using these better versions in your evolution unless it’s absolutely necessary.

Tanned Leather is one of the more important resources in Windrose, and it has different purposes. Obtaining this leather isn’t too difficult, but you’ll need to clear a fair bit of in-game content and build an additional item.

Let’s find out how you can get a steady supply of Tanned Leather in the game.

How to get Tanned Leather in Windrose

Tanned Leather can be crafted in Windrose. For starters, you’ll need to collect raw hides. Raw hide can be obtained quite easily, but you’ll need to hunt. If you’re in the early game stage, either wolves or deer work. They’re not so dangerous, and you can kill them quite easily. You’ll also need your skinning knife in hand to get the hide.

Now that you have your hide, you’ll need to get a Tanning Rack. This item has to be unlocked via its recipe, and it allows you to dry raw hide. This process is necessary when you want to convert raw hide into Tanned Leather.

You can make Clay Bottles from the Alchemy Table. Once it’s done, you can now make Tannin with Hardwood Bark and a Clay Bottle. You’ll need this item for the production of Tanned Leather.

Once you have built and placed your Tanning Rack, add the raw hide to one of its slots. Add either a tanning agent or a source of fuel that will be consumed during the process. If you have Tannin, it will work just fine.

You’ll need to wait for some time for the process to complete. Once done, you’ll have your Tanned Leather.

How to use Tanned Leather in Windrose

Tanned Leather has plenty of use when it comes to crafting armor. Almost every mid and end-game item will need Tanned Leather. The demand for it goes up once you unlock Foothills, which is the second biome in the game.

However, you can start collecting the required materials like Clay and Rough Hides early to make things easier when you’ll actually need Tanned Leather in your inventory.
