Vampire Crawlers Wiki: Every Table on One Page

Vampire Crawlers hides an unreasonable amount of arithmetic behind a $9.99 price. Card effects scale off stats the game never defines. Gem drop weights change with the chest tier you happen to be on. Pentagram will not show up in a level-up until level 40, and nothing in the game tells you that.

So this page is an index rather than an article. Every table we have built sits in one list below, with the source for it named on the page it lives on. If you already know what you are looking for, take the link and go. If you are new, read the card colours and the combo rule first, because those two explain why any of the other numbers matter.

Which cards unlock at which level?

This is the question the game answers worst. A card cannot appear in a level-up until your character reaches its gate level, and the gate is printed nowhere in game. We pulled the number from each card's own wiki page: 55 of the 76 cards state one, and the remaining 21 have no gate at all, which means level 1 in practice.

Gate Cards Count
Level 1 Armor, Attractorb, Bone, Candella, Candle, Cherry Bomb, Crown, Duplicator, Empty Tome, Fire Wand, Garlic, Gatti Amari, Golden Armor, Hollow Heart, King Bible, Knife, Light Tome, Magic Wand, Pummarola, Runetracer, Skull O'Maniac, Spellbinder, Spinach, Stone Mask, Whip 25
Level 11 Axe, Bracer, Candelabrador, Carréllo, Celestial Dusting, Clover, Cross, Crystal Crown, Du-Duplicator, Eight The Sparrow, Forever Heart, Lightning Ring, Pummadora, Rainbow Armor, Sprig o' Spinach, Tirajisú, Weighty Tome 17
Level 20 Ancient Tome, Clock Lancet, Friendship Amulet, Parm Aegis, Peachone, Phiera Der Tuphello, Santa Water, Shadow Pinion 8
Level 30 Bracelet, Ebony Wings, Song of Mana, Wings 4
Level 40 Pentagram 1

Pentagram is the only level-40 card, which is why players who have never seen it assume it is a drop rather than a level gate. The level-11 tier is where most stat cards sit, so a run that stalls early is usually a run that has not reached level 11 yet, not a run with bad Luck.

Crawlers, gems and the deck layer

Most runs are decided by three things, and only one of them is the Crawler you pick.

Your Crawler brings a five-card starter and a passive that pays out for one colour, so the deck is half-built before you play anything; the tier list ranks the 25 of them and the builds page turns each passive into an actual list. After that come the 62 gems, five rarities whose weights shift by chest tier, and the 19 relics that rewrite the run's rules. Of the 16 Arcana you carry exactly one, which makes the choice closer to picking a character than to picking an item.

Stages, bosses and enemies

Vampire Crawlers ships 18 stages across 9 dungeon families, each with a difficulty ladder. Bosses are fixed per stage and floor: the stage table lists them in order, and the enemy list gives HP, armour and damage for all 214 entries, including the ones that only appear in Endless Mode.

Progression: what you are grinding

  • 182 Town Hall unlocks, priced in gold, in the unlock list.
  • 161 Steam achievements (162 on PlayStation), with real global unlock percentages, on the achievements page.
  • 19 Power Ups, the permanent stat upgrades, on the Power Ups page.

For scale: 17½ hours gets you through the main story, 25-26 hours gets you everything (breakdown), and most of those 182 rows are still unfinished when the credits roll.

What this wiki is not

Not a copy of the official wiki, for a start. Every table links back to the page it came from, the only art hosted here is a set of sprites used as icons, and where the source is silent this site says "not documented" instead of filling the gap with a plausible number. If something here disagrees with what you see in game, the corrections page is the place to say so.
