Area

**Area** is one of the stats in *Vampire Survivors*. It increases the area of effect of most weapons.

The player has 100% base Area before modifications. The Area in the stat panel is given as the difference to the base Area, meaning that Area stat of +30% equals to 130% total Area, for example. Area modifications from characters, PowerUps and items stack additively. Other modifiers, such as Arcanas, stack multiplicatively with the collective bonuses from the aforementioned.

The upper limit of total Area after character, PowerUp and item modifications is 1000%. Bonuses from Arcanas are unaffected by the limit.
