Vampire Survivors: Every Character, Ranked By Their Difficulty

gamerant.com:

In Vampire Survivors, released on Dec. 17, 2021, for PC, players have a choice of 16 characters from which to choose; 18 characters if the secret ones are included. Two of these characters, Suor Clerici and Dommario, were just introduced on January 30, 2022. The characters in this game all come with their own unique bonus (or ability). These abilities are fairly well-balanced, but the gameplay of Vampire Survivors makes some characters better than others.

Characters in Vampire Survivors also start with a specific weapon, and not all of them are created equal. They can all use any of the weapons, but each has its own at the start of the stage. This ranking is from worst to best – the last entry (#1) will be the character that experiences the least amount of difficulty during a playthrough. The MissingNZ character is not included in this because it is not an official character. Unlocking MissingNZ requires changing the game's code.

Toastie is a secret character with passive bonuses, let's call them penalties in Toastie's case, which make it the most difficult
