Vampire Crawlers will test all your abilities and past gaming knowledge. Surviving the dungeons in the game requires more than just picking the right cards. You also need to invest your hard-earned gold into permanent, run-defining upgrades.
Vampire Crawlers features a wide array of Power Ups from stat boosters to utility options and massive defensive buffs. However, not all Power Ups are created equal. Here are the top five best Power Ups to unlock and max out in Vampire Crawlers.
5. Magnet

The Magnet Power Up might seem like a luxury rather than a necessity. However, its impact on your card economy cannot be overstated. Upgrading Magnet increases your Draw effects by 1.
It’s simple; having more cards in your hand directly translates to having more options. No matter what Crawler you are playing, increasing your raw card draw is universally beneficial.
4. Growth

Do you want to create a genuinely broken build before you reach the later floors? For that, you need to level up as quickly as possible. That is exactly what Growth does.
This Power Up accelerates the amount of XP you gain inside the dungeons. Faster leveling translates to more card offers, earlier weapon evolutions, and more Gems. It is an essential economy upgrade that pays for itself almost immediately.
3. Max Health

Sometimes, the simplest solution is the best one. Vampire Crawlers is an unforgiving game, especially for beginners during the early dungeon encounters. This is where Max Health will help you out.
This Power Up provides you with a much larger buffer against high-burst enemies and difficult boss fights. Having more HP means you can afford to take calculated risks and survive a bit longer.
2. Cooldown

Keep in mind that Energy is the lifeblood of your deck! The Cooldown Power Up grants you one additional Mana per rank. This will fundamentally change how you play the game.
Having extra energy each turn allows you to play high-cost cards earlier, chain together massive combos, and clear encounters faster. We know it’s one of the most expensive upgrades in the game, but the sheer momentum it provides to your run is worth it.
1. Revival

The absolute best Power Up in Vampire Crawlers is Revival, and also the most expensive one. It serves a very simple but game-changing purpose: it gives you a full second life.
The game is notorious for ending hours of progress due to a single bad encounter or an unlucky card draw. Revival completely removes that scenario from the equation. If you die, you instantly revive at full HP, making it the ultimate insurance policy.
