Hi guys, welcome to our Vampire Survivors Power up Selection v0.5.2 aka Vampire Survivors Power up Tier List. Vampire Survivors PowerUps are stat enhancements that can be purchased. In the PowerUp Selection menu, they may be purchased using Gold Coins. There is no passive item linked with PowerUps with a golden backdrop in the game.
In the game, there are 19 different PowerUps that alter various player stats. So come and take a look at this Vampire Survivors Power up Selection v0.5.2. Also read here: Vampire Survivors Evolution Chart V0.5.2 (2022)
Vampire Survivors Power up Selection v0.5.2
How does PowerUp Selection work?
You earn coins as you play. These coins can be used to unlock permanent PowerUps across all games. Each PowerUp you purchase increases the price of the next purchase by 10% of the base price.
For example, buying Amount as your first purchase would cost 5000, but if you purchased a few upgrades in Might, Area, Recovery, etc and Amount is your 10th purchase, it would cost 9500.
Since the PowerUps vary in the number of upgrades you can purchase and price, this means that buying the same PowerUps in a different order could lead to a different total amount of coins spent.
Note that there is a Refund PowerUps button at the bottom, which resets everything – the 10% base price will be reset also. Feel free to purchase in whatever order at the beginning of the game, you can always start over.
When can I max everything?
I have done some preliminary calculations and I believe the smallest total number of coins to max all PowerUps is 203,150.
Spaceboy commented asking what the amount would be if you do not include Greed (which only has the benefit of giving you more coins and nothing else), and that amount is 186,500. So you could get every combat bonus over 10,000 coins earlier!
If you do not include Curse (which only serves to make the game harder), the total needed is 142,050. If you do not include both Curse and Greed, the total needed is 126,900.
What is the order to max everything?
If you have 203,150 coins or more, this order should allow you to max all PowerUps. Note that you fully max each PowerUp before moving on to the next one.
- Revival
- Reroll
- Amount
- Curse*
- Growth
- Cooldown
- Luck
- Armor
- Might
- Recovery
- Greed**
- Area
- Speed
- Duration
- MoveSpeed
- Magnet
- Max Health
- Skip
- Banish
*If Curse is skipped, total will be 142,050.
**As noted in the previous section, by skipping Greed the total cost would be 186,500. Credit to Spaceboy for pointing this out.
What’s the best strategy before I can max everything?
The best strategy is to get a general idea of mow much you can purchase for the PowerUps you want, and go from most expensive total average* cost per PowerUp to least expensive. Note that while Growth total cost is higher than the Amount, the Amount should always be purchased first (feel free to experiment and see why). You shouldn’t follow the list above for maxing everything if you do not have the required number of coins, as you will miss out on cheaper purchases for the PowerUps at the end of the list.
I don’t really have advice on what PowerUps are good/bad for gameplay, you’ll have to find another guide for that.

I figured out a way to max everything for less money! Awesome! I’m not certain this is the cheapest option (I was experimenting with the numbers in Excel; when I started the guide, my number was 99,720 before Revival was added).
