Windrose has a wide variety of weapons for you to obtain on your adventures, and the best ones will have special abilities. These abilities are unique to every weapon, and you’ll also find some with two skills to trigger.
However, these abilities will remain locked at first, and your job is to unlock them.
How do special abilities for weapons work in Windrose
For starters, you’ll need to find some Rare or Epic-tier weapons if you want to trigger special abilities. If you have Common and Uncommon weapons, you can upgrade them to improve their stats. However, they can’t have any special ability for you to unlock and then trigger.
The secret to unlocking a special ability is to ascend them.
- Before you can ascend a weapon, you’ll need to upgrade your Weaponsmith. You’ll need Anvil and Bellows for that.
- Once the Weaponsmith is upgraded, it will show the Ascend tab.
- Select the tab, and then choose the item that has a locked special ability.
- You’ll also need an item called Tumbaga Ingots to ascend it.
Both Anvil and Bellows can be crafted using the following resources.
Anvil
- Ten Wood
- One Anvil (This is separate from the upgrade. You can craft this Anvil using Foothills Iron Ingots).
Bellows
- Twenty Mire Metal Ingots
- Fifteen Crocodile Hide Pieces
- Five Hewn Stones
Some of the best weapons in the game, like the Plague Halberd and the Rapier of Devastation, have not one, but two special abilities. To ascend them, you’ll need more resources. However, having two special abilities provides you with a lot of advantage. This privilege is usually reserved for the Epic-tier weapons.
While unlocking the abilities radically changes how well the weapon works, it requires a lot of extra resources. I recommend ascending weapons only after you have found the stronger ones and reached the endgame stage. At that point, the special abilities will feel almost necessary to combat the enemies you’ll usually face.

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. |
| Luck | Raises all positive stats, along with increasing the quality of your drops. It increases by 20% per rank. |
| Growth | You can get extra XP. |
| Greed | You’ll get 10% extra Gold Coins per rank. |
| Reroll | You can reroll your draw to try and get other options. You get +2 reroll choices per rank. |
| Skip | You can skip level-up rewards to get extra XP and Gold. |
| Banish | You can banish cards that you want to avoid from showing up on your run. |
| 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.
