Legacy of the Moonspell - New Characters & Builds
The Legacy of the Moonspell DLC brings a host of new characters to Vampire Survivors, each with unique starting weapons and passive bonuses that encourage distinct playstyles. This section will explore some of these characters and suggest effective builds to maximize their potential.
Pugnala Provola, a returning character, is a fantastic choice for players who enjoy high-octane offense. Her starting weapon, the Phiera Der Tuphello, fires rapidly and can be paired with the Eight The Sparrow for the devastating Phieraggi evolution. A strong build for Pugnala would focus on increasing projectile speed and area, alongside passive items like the Duplicator and Spinach. The Spellbinder is also crucial for enhancing the Phieraggi's continuous beam.
Zi'Assunta, another character from the DLC, starts with the Mannajja. This weapon inflicts a slowing effect on enemies, making it excellent for crowd control. A build centered around Zi'Assunta should prioritize items that enhance the Mannajja's area and duration, such as the Candelabrador and Spellbinder. Pairing the Mannajja with the Crown can accelerate your leveling, allowing you to reach its evolution, the Valkyrie Turner, faster. Consider adding the Garlic for additional close-range defense.
Dommario, who begins with the Vento Sacro, offers a unique melee-focused experience. The Vento Sacro's projectiles can pierce enemies and gain power as they travel. To optimize Dommario, focus on items that boost projectile speed and damage, like the Bracer and Spinach. The Empty Tome is essential for increasing the firing rate, allowing the Vento Sacro to unleash its full potential. The evolution, Fuwalafuwaloo, becomes a powerful piercing wave, making it ideal for clearing dense enemy formations.
For players who prefer a more defensive and strategic approach, Concetta with her starting Song of Mana is a great option. The Song of Mana creates a stationary damaging zone. Builds for Concetta should focus on increasing the size and duration of this zone with the Candelabrador and Spellbinder. The Armor passive item can also be beneficial, allowing her to withstand more damage while her mana zones do their work. The evolution, Mannajja, becomes a larger, more potent slowing area.
