When should you to cash out in Vampire Crawlers

Vampire Crawlers will force you to put on your thinking cap whenever you come across a treasure chest. You’ll find these valuable treasures whenever you defeat a boss or by randomly exploring the map. Opening them will provide you with gems that you can equip on your cards. However, you can refuse them to get 200 Gold Coins to add to your inventory.

When exactly should you go for the latter and get rich?

Vampire Crawlers cash out explained

Every treasure chest in Vampire Crawlers will have three gems on offer at random. You can pick one of them to add to an applicable card of your choice. There are some really powerful options you can avail that will radically change the strength of your deck.

However, you can opt to get 200 Gold Coins by choosing the ‘cash out’ option at the bottom. Doing so will immediately forfeit the gems on offer, and the treasure chest will disappear. If you’re unsure, you can just ‘leave’ and return to the chest later before leaving the room.

When to cash out in Vampire Crawlers

I use two simple rules to decide when you should cash out a treasure chest.

Do you have a card to upgrade with a gem? Once you’ve applied a few upgrades, you won’t have a card that’s worth upgrading with a gem. It might also happen that the applied boosts will have negligible effects. If that happens, going for the Gold Coins will be beneficial.

Do you like the gems on offer? The offers are completely random, and it’s highly possible that they won’t be of any use to you. In such cases, it’s always better to go for Gold Coins.

If you’re unsure about how good/poor the gem offerings are, you can always check this guide to find out how they work.

There’s a host of different stats in Vampire Crawlers that will define your chances of completing a specific stage. If you’ve played Vampire Survivors, you’ll be well familiar with most of these stats. If not, then you can refer to the following section to understand what each attribute means.

Vampire Crawlers stats explained

The table below briefly explains what every stat means so that you can always stay on top of your deck’s strength and prowess.

Stat	What it Does
Max Health	It raises your Max Health by 10% per rank. You’ll still need to heal and restore your health after increasing the cap.
Recovery	Heals 1 HP per rank after each encounter. Extremely useful to passively restore your lost HP after every completed battle.
Hand	Determines the number of cards you’ll pull when a fresh turn begins.
Mana	Raises the max mana available for you to use.
Armor	Nullify all incoming attacks. You gain +1 Armor per rank, and also increase it by playing Armor cards.
Might	Raise the base damage of all weapons by 10% per level.
Area	Dish out AoE damage from your attacks, which increases by 10% per rank.
Amount	Adds extra projectiles for your weapon cards.
Duration	Allows you to increase the duration of your Crawler’s stay by one per rank.
Magnet	You can draw extra cards per turn.
Revival	Get extra lives.

Curse	A negative stat that will amplify the damage of your enemy’s attacks. However, you’ll get more XP and Gold.

Typically, the Power Ups you use will have a direct impact on the stat values of your current run. When you upgrade a Power Up, it will permanently raise the applicable stat for your character (the buffs will be available across all runs). However, your attributes will also depend on the cards you draw and the crawler(s) you use.
