The fact that you need a lot of healing is your problem as you're getting hit too much and the higher your curse, the less healing you get. Increase movement speed to a reasonable amount (I like getting +100%) and avoid taking damage, and/or get the arcane shield active skill because it will soak up damage before expiring/exploding; you need to get the Arcane Weaver to prestige 5 to get that skill.

Try to avoid armor/block bonuses because increasing your dps is a much better idea. If you move so fast that attacks can't hit you and you deal way too much damage so everything dies quickly, you won't need any healing.

Focus on what your character is good at, look to increase your dps first (multi-cast and cast frequency are insanely good), and avoid the damage instead of tanking it. Be aware of the environment so you don't dodge into them and remember that dodging gives you immunity frames.

Also it's normal that vampire survivor is easier, that game practically plays itself while you only move around. I've perfected it so I know all too well lol

Hey lordmarkhan! I'm sorry that you are having issues with the game. The devs are trying their best to deliver the best experience possible. Keep in mind that the game is still very much under development and all constructive feedback we can get from the community is very much appreciated. For now, I'd say that your fellow gamer's advice here (Sedri) is pretty neat.

Vampire Survivor is the easiest game in the genre. Many new roguelites like this and Brotato for example require some actual planning and focus to do well in. Also just plain experience, knowing what works and what doesnt. And often in these games offense is king and your best defense. If you cant kill quickly and efficiently then no matter what kind of defenses you have you will get overrun.

Past curse tier 4 I do think the number of AOE carpets does get excessive and cuts down on build diversity, especially when you have no way of knowing if that AOE circle is going to be for 3 damage of 110, so the only viable thing to do is spam dash and use one of the few meta builds, hoping the RNG works in your favor and that you don't get stuck on a tree. I would hope the next balance pass takes some of that into account. It's not just that it makes the game harder to have those AOE carpets, it seriously just makes it less fun.

Maybe cut down on the number or size on AOEs (3-boss encounters are excessive with a lot of builds where you can't get close enough to land hits), while upping the damage on the ones that remain so there's a little more dodging and weaving involved rather than just spamming dash and hoping for the best, color code the AOE indicators for how dangerous they are

Maybe upcoming metaprogression systems will help with that, but in its current state it's just not quite as fun after you get past a certain point.

Nailed it. Game becomes Dashing Simulator upon curse 5 or 6. And that's just not fun anymore.

To be fair this game is good and vampire survivors is bad.

Which I quite like, more engaging that way. But trying to dodge the terrain features at red skull 4 (I deadass forgot what it's actually called) is like playing a racing game lol.

You just need to get used to the mecanics a little more.
Many people are complaining about the fact that at a certain point, more Curse means more stuff to dodge. So eventually you have to runaway the entire game and dodge all those red marks everywhere.
So just take some movement speed, take an extra dash if you get one, and try to know how to deal good damages with less skills. After 35 Curse you have to consider to take more "utility" skills instead of full damage, which requires some adaptation.

The problem is that in high curse levels the AoE is just ridiculous. It becomes a AoE Dodging Simulator, nothing else. Its just not fun at all. You can beat that ♥♥♥♥ but it takes forever and you can barely DPS the Bosses because the everything in a 100m radius is red.

This cracks me up

That a veteran VS complains about difficulty is a good thing! Easy games that finish in a week are dumb.

Fight and die!

You just need to appreciate that at higher levels there are only certain "builds" that are viable. If you don't get the right upgrades, just restart the run. A lot of it comes down to RNG and using the 'right' classes/weapons. Look at some guides to see what the meta is and do that. You'll be fine.
