Many playable characters are available in Vampire Survivors, some of which must be purchased with Gold Coins or unlocked through special actions. In this guide, we’ll show you how to unlock Krochi in Vampire Survivors and explain his starting weapon and passive bonuses.
Krochi is one of 24 total characters in Vampire Survivors. His full name, Krochi Freetto, is a portmanteau of the Italian words crocifisso and fritto, which mean crucified and fried, respectively. Hence the character’s appearance and starting weapon (the Cross).

What is Krochi’s starting weapon in Vampire Survivors?
Krochi’s starting weapon is the Cross, which is first unlocked for all characters by finding a Rosary in any of your runs. The weapon caps out at level eight, evolves into the Heaven Sword with the Clover, and has the following attributes per level:
- Aims at the nearest enemy and has a boomerang effect.
- Base damage increases by 10.
- Base speed increases by 25%, and base area increases by 10%.
- Fires one additional projectile.
- Base damage increases by 10.
- Base speed increases by 25%, and base area increases by 10%.
- Fires one additional projectile.
- Base damage increases by 10.
The Cross weapon does not benefit from Duration, but it does benefit from Speed, which improves the distance of the Cross before its boomerang effect. Amount also affects the number of Crosses thrown. The Cross is thrown in one direction at the nearest enemy, and then turns around and flies off the screen in the opposite direction, damaging all enemies in its path.
