Vampire Crawlers Power Ups: All 19, With Real Costs¶

If you came here for the best upgrades to buy first, that short answer is the whole ranking: cheap utility first, Greed early, then the multipliers. The tables below give every Power Up, its real gold cost and the tier it unlocks at; the purchase order section explains the reasoning card by card.

All 19 Power Ups and their gold costs¶

Icon	Power Up	Cost	What it does
—	Reroll	200	Reroll level-up / reward choices
—	Skip	250	Skip a reward, take XP instead
—	Duration	250	Extra Crawler triggers
—	Banish	300	Remove a reward from the run's pool
—	Curse	350	Stronger enemies, more XP
—	Luck	400	Better rare-item odds, more 4-choice offers
	Max Health	450	+HP
	Might	500	+% card damage (cap 1,000%)

	Area	850	Splash damage on attacks
—	Greed	1,000	+% gold (cap 1,000%)
	Amount	1,250	+1 projectile (cap 50)
	Armor	1,250	Armor each turn
—	Magnet	2,000	Super-charges draw effects
—	Deal Count	2,500	Cards drawn per turn (renamed from Handsize)
—	Crawler Slot	3,500	Extra Crawler in your party
	Cooldown (Mana)	3,500	More Mana per turn
—	Revival	4,000	Cheat death (rank 1 caps 4, rank 2 caps 5)

Costs are fixed per tier, not escalating: the cheap ones stay cheap, and they're usually the correct first purchases.

The best purchase order¶

1. Reroll (200): cheapest, and rerolling a bad level-up beats +5% of anything.
2. Greed (1,000): gold gates every other purchase, so it pays for itself. If you're dying every run instead, take Might first.
3. Might (500): multiplies every card, all run, forever.
4. Growth (750): faster unlocks, so more cards and Crawlers sooner.
5. Max Health (450) / Recovery (500): stop runs ending early.
6. Crawler Slot (3,500): the real power spike: a third Crawler is a whole extra engine (why).
7. Revival (4,000): mandatory before Red Death (fight guide).

Skip early: Area, Duration, Curse: they only pay off once you know your deck. Never rush Blacksmith sockets (~500 gold each) before your stats are comfortable: a socket helps one card, a Power Up helps every run.

Vending machines: the card-offering tables¶

Four "vending machines" exist in dungeons: officially the Card stat offering table, Floor chicken, Mana and Duplicate (Mirror) tables.

• Card stat offering table: sacrifice one stat boost (yellow) card from your deck for a run-long stat buff. The mapping is fixed: Bracer → +1 Hand, Parm Aegis → +1 Armor, Skull O'Maniac → +5% Curse, and 17 more.
• Cash out instead of sacrificing → 200 coins, no buff.
• Floor chicken table, trade for healing. Mana table, trade for Mana. Duplicate (Mirror) table, copy something you already have.

This changes deck decisions: spare yellow cards aren't dead weight, they're vending-machine currency. A Bracer you don't need is +1 Hand for the rest of the run.

Power Ups vs every other system¶

Common questions¶

Should I buy Crawlers or Power Ups first? Cheap Crawlers that change your deck: Pasqualina at 100 gold is the best value in the game (why). Then Power Ups.

When do I stop buying Power Ups? When a run clears a zone comfortably. Past that, sockets and Crawlers return more per gold.

Is Curse ever worth it? With a build that can absorb it, yes: cheap XP. Early, it just kills you.
