Players will have to fight through dozens of enemy hordes in order to make it to the end of each dungeon in Vampire Crawlers. As they progress deeper into the dungeon, it’ll become harder for players to keep their health intact.

Should You Cash Out in Vampire Crawlers?
When players open chests in Vampire Crawlers, they have the option to cash out some coins instead – here’s how it works.
This guide tells players what they need to know about healing and recovering HP in Vampire Crawlers. Additionally, it also provides information on the most important stats when it comes to preserving their health.
How to Heal in Vampire Crawlers
Players can restore their health in Vampire Crawlers by eating floor chicken, completing battles after acquiring the Recovery stat, or sacrificing cards at a food stall. Below, players can find out how each healing method works:
Floor Chicken
In Vampire Crawlers, players can heal by eating floor chicken. Gamers can find floor chicken by breaking light sources, similarly to Vampire Survivors. Each piece of floor chicken will heal the player by 10 HP.
When players first start Vampire Crawlers, they might have a harder time healing, as the location of the light sources will not be displayed on their map. Thankfully, there is a relic that can help them locate points of interest on the map, including light sources: the Guiding Light. Once players unlock the Inlaid Library map, they will be able to recover the Guiding Light by fighting the mini-boss on the second floor.
Recovery Power Up
One of the Power Ups that players can purchase in the Shop is Recovery. Players can upgrade their Recovery stat, and it will grant them +1 HP after each fight per rank. This means that if they’ve obtained three Recovery upgrades, they will earn +3 HP after a battle.
Sacrificing Cards
While this method is the most effective one, it is also the least reliable one. Players may come across a food stall while exploring a dungeon floor in Vampire Crawlers. At a food stall, they will be able to sacrifice a card in their deck for 30 HP.
It grants a lot more health compared to other methods, but there is no guarantee that they will come across this during a run.
Vampire Crawlers Tips for HP and Health
If players don’t want to constantly find themselves in situations where they need to keep healing their characters, they’ll want to improve their overall HP and defense stats. To do this, they have to visit the Shop in the Village, where they can purchase some Power Ups that’ll boost these stats.
Here are the stats that players will want to upgrade quickly to bulk up their character in Vampire Crawlers:
Armor
Max Health
Recovery
