How to Reach 665 Max Health With Bat Robbert in Vampire Survivors

Explosions! More explosions!!!

Darkana XXI – Wandering the Jet Black is a powerful new Arcana dark counterpart in Vampire Survivors. Unlocking it requires you to reach 665 Max Health with Bat Robbert at any stage, which might seem like a formidable task. However, I’ve devised a quick Darkana XXI unlock strategy for you.

How to Unlock Darkana XXI – Wandering the Jet Black in Vampire Survivors

There are some prerequisites you need to fulfill before attempting to unlock Darkana XXI – Wandering the Jet Black in Vampire Survivors:

  • You will need the Darkasso.
  • Unlock Bat Robbert – This is done by evolving his weapon, “Pako Battiliar.” You can unlock Pako Battiliar by killing 161616 Bats throughout the entirety of your Vampire Survivors gameplay.
  • Evolution of Pako Battiliar is done by having Pako Battiliar and Hollow Heart at their maximum levels (8 and 5, respectively) and then picking up a Treasure Chest.

Now, when you look at Bat Robbert’s ability in the character selection screen, you will see that his ability perfectly aligns with the agenda of this article.

However, we’re having none of that mumbo-jumbo. Do you realize that we might not make it in time before the end of the run? Here’s my build that helped me unlock Darkana XXI – Wandering the Jet Black in less than 8 minutes (time flows twice as fast in hurry mode). However, you’ll need Darkana XII – Crystal Cries for this build. Deep in my heart, I know poncle intended it this way.

I chose Glass Fandango so that I can evolve it, Hollow Heart to gain 20% of my current max HP up to five times, and Metaglio Left to gain 5% of my current max HP up to nine times. Laurel and Tiragisu serve as backups and maybe “proc” Bat Robbert’s ability. Before you knew it, I had over a thousand HP. You just need to refrain from leveling Hollow Heart and Metaglio Left as much as possible to try and accumulate as many blue hearts as possible so that the percentage boost actually matters. After leaving the run I got a confirmation that the achievement had been unlocked.

What Does Darkana XXI – Wandering the Jet Black Do in Vampire Survivors?

The text is a bit lengthy, but here’s the effect of Darkana XXI – Wandering the Jet Black:

“When you lose Health, you generate exploding projectiles. The damage of these projectiles increases based on your total recovered Health during your run, as well as the Magnet bonus. The area of explosion of these projectiles is increased with your Magnet stat.”

These projectiles don’t seem to disappear fast as they’re spawned, and things tend to spin out of control pretty fast, so you’ll have something better than Garlic / King Bible in your arsenal. Try it out yourself!
