What’s the opposite of photographic memory? I forget! But whatever it is, I have it. And when it comes to my current obsession, Vampire Survivors, I often need to consult an evolution guide to remember the right weapon and item choices. With the correct combo, pickups fuse together, and these evolutions can help you survive 30 minutes (or longer).

So, you need to focus your efforts while leveling up your favorites; it’s all part of the fun. When I first started playing Vampire Survivors, I
