New Weapons and Items in Patch 0.7.2

Vampire Survivors' latest update introduced a bunch of new content including a new, Whip-like weapon named Vento Sacro and a new Passive Item known as Torrona's Box.

Vento Sacro

As the starter weapon for the new Character, Zi 'Assunta Belpaese, Vento Sacro can be unlocked by surviving 15 minutes with Zi 'Assunta. Though its attack animation is similar to its sister weapon the Whip, Vento Sacro doesn't attack in a fixed upward direction and it instead strikes horizontally and in the direction that you're facing, as you can see in the image above.

Though reliable in the early game, Vento Sacro's damage output can be underwhelming if you don't have the necessary PowerUps and Items to maximize the weapon's effectiveness. While an upgraded Vento Sacro may not be able to rival the output of weapons such as the King's Bible and Santa Water, it performs significantly better when you have high MoveSpeed and heightened Luck to increase the chance of Critical Hits. Still, you shouldn't discount Vento Sacro's utility since its predictable and direction-based firing pattern can always serve as valuable pathing and escape tool.

Vento Sacro's evolution Fuwalafuwaloo can be a potent weapon that also provides some Health restoration with every attack. Fuwalafuwaloo's damage increases the higher your MoveSpeed and, when paired with the Sarabande of Healing Arcana, it can restore 16 Health per strike.

Torrona's Box

Torrona's Box is an Item that can be unlocked by holding six different weapon evolutions at the same time. While this can be a fairly difficult feat, try to memorize the components of a few weapon evolutions ahead of time or pop open our Evolved Weapons guide during your run to quickly identify the ingredients you can use to craft evolutions. When trying to obtain six weapon evolutions at once, avoid complex combos like Crimson Shroud, Infinite Corridor, and Phieraggi because they require significant time and XP investments that can limit the number of evolutions you're able to craft in a single run. If possible, you should select Secret Characters such as Red Death and Minnah who have Evolved Weapons as their starters.

Torrona's Box increases your Might, Projectile Speed, Duration, and Area by 4% when first collected and subsequently increases these stats by 3% from Level 2 through Level 8. However, as the Item's description indicates, Torrona's Box is a cursed item and if you upgrade it to Level 9 it will boost enemy Speed, Health, quantity, and frequency by 100%. Buffing your enemies can be avoided by using a Banish when the Level 9 Torrona's Box card appears on the Level Up screen.

At this time, Torrona's Box does not appear as floor loot on any stage so it can only be acquired through Level Up screens. Torrona's Box is currently the only passive item in Vampire Survivors that does not appear on Moongolow.
