The Main Characters Of Vampire Survivors
The cast listed above as one of the secret characters in vampire survivors is not as good or as well-rounded compared to the main characters. It is also one of the reasons why it gets a little harder to unlock them. Furthermore, pursuing these secret characters might take a lot of time but what you should focus on is how to level up your existing characters.
To name a few, Leda and Red Death are two characters that are difficult to unlock so be sure to have an ample amount of time when you want to get these characters. It may be drizzling to think about the number of secret characters available in Vampire Survivors. As mentioned above, there are lots of them to unlock or explore further before you become a top-tier player in this game.

- Arca
- Cavallo
- Dommario

- Mortaccio
- Poe
- Pugnala

Imelda
As mentioned above, Imelda is a starting character in Vampire Survivors that uses a Magic Wand as its starting weapon. The magic wand automatically fires at the closest enemy within its perimeter. Imelda’s ability reaches up to 10% experience gain in every five accomplished levels until it reaches level 15.
Arca
Arca is a character that slightly looks like Castlevanis’s Alucard. It uses a Fire Wand as its starting weapon during battles on certain levels. It shoots fireballs at a random enemy that passes through its perimeter. The character has experience gains of about -5% [the delay between or during weapon attacks] in every 10 levels and has a maximum of -15% with a 10% damage output or what is called the ‘damage output’ in the game.
Poe
Poe is a feeble old man that makes up for his slow movements by using Garlic as his starting weapon. Garlic is quite a powerful weapon that keeps the enemies at a certain distance and increases the knockbacks while decreasing the freeze resistance at a certain game level. And yes, Poe does have a lower health level in comparison to Imelda and Arca. Nevertheless, Poe starts with a 25% bonus to Magnet or the pickup radius.
