Every Evolution in Alucard's Shield

[Ehan]

I think it is theoretically possible to unlock get every evo inside of Alucard's shield. If not all you could maybe stack 15+. With the use of Darkanas and endless/inverse/hurry and the right character I think it is possible.

It will only take a set amount of evos. So any leftovers will not consumed and hidden.

What is that maximum? It certainly helps if you are attempting for a lot of evos

[Moonbane]

If i remember right, 5 maxed out evolutions beside maxed Alucard's sword, and full up accessories to perform the union. In one game I was left with 3 visible weapons, 2 beyond the numbers needed for consumption and alucard shield. As I had more weapons than needed.

The most weapons you can fit in shield are clock (4) Power of sire (3), Custodian (3), Spell Storm (3) for 13 and then you have 1 more slot.

The pistols perhaps.

Oh yes for got the base game has a few duo combo weapons upgrades raising total, you can combine to 15+sworb.

Pretty sure you can fit more in that. You can use the candybox to get more than 6 weapons. So you can fill that last slot with another fusion weapon and candyboxes drop like candy with the hail from the future darkana.

The only limit is the amount of candyboxes. Past a certain amount gotten, the candy boxes no longer spawn. I think so far the limit I've noticed is 6 weapons, plus I think 8 candy boxes. You can stretch that by getting as many multi weapons evolutions out of the way first. Maybe 5 more then. That would be around 19 or 20, not counting the shield itself. At which point if you got only evolved weapons, you should be able to get 5 more, which puts you at approximatively 25 final, plus weapons you may find on the map, plus as many turbo candy boxes you may get, plus random merchant weapons the game may spawn if you do well, including one evolved one(Mortacio, Profusion del Amore, the one of the sloth/panda).

So with good planning and a bit of luck, you can get 30+ weapons at the same time. It's overkill, but that must be the approximate effective cap, at least on a 30 minutes run.

I managed to combine Alucard's shield with 11 weapons at once!
My evolutions were: Guardian targe, garlic, whip, cerberus, sonic dash, discus, curved knife, shuriken, ice fang, gale force and clockwork weapons. I think you can add 2 more weapons at best, given you get the normal candybox and evolved candybox.

[Nonexistinghero]

Pretty sure you didn't manage to do it with 11 weapons at once. Because the weapon just absorbs 5 and that's it. No more, no less.

Shield can definitely eat more than 5. It needs *at least* 6 (including the Swords) to trigger the evolution from Alucard Swords, but the description reads:
"Gift of Alucard Swords. Absorbs and triggers all other equipped evolutions."
(since it's a Gift, it actually is a separate weapon that eats Alucard Swords too, so even with your logic it eats 6 weapons.)

It requires "at least 5 fully evolved weapons" and "no less than 6 fully leveled passive items" to trigger Alucard Shield. But you can easily get as much weapons as possible, given you'd get enough evolved weapons before fully leveling Alucard Swords and evolving them

[Zephyr]

Shield absorbs all the evolutions you have, not just 5, yeah.

This is the idea I was getting at by using fusions and the shield you can free up more and more space along with the candy boxes. In endless I am not sure, but I think the candybox limit can reset after you roll past 30 minutes. I had already hit the cap in a run then opened a chest that gave me 2 more super candyboxes and a bag of coins.
