Toastie

**Toastie** is one of the secret playable characters in *Vampire Survivors*. Its starting weapon is Peachone.

## Unlocking

 *"2) Uppercut a non-red reaper."*

As a prerequisite, you will need to cast a spell that unlocks Exdash. You will not be able to unlock Toastie if you unlocked Exdash by collecting Little Clover.

The player can unlock this character by killing either The Stalker, The Drowner, or The Trickster. After their defeat, Toastie should appear on screen for half a second.
Press the **Down Arrow** + **Enter** key combination while Toastie is on screen. The S key (down for WASD players) does **not** count. When successful, a jingle will be played.

Alternatively, Toastie can be unlocked in the Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane by casting the Spell "tramezzini" after Exdash has been unlocked.

## Passive bonuses

Toastie starts with -99 Max Health, +20% MoveSpeed, -10% Might, -10% Area, -50% Speed, -10% Duration, +10% Cooldown and +100% Luck. Additionally, Toastie gains more Luck, Max Health and Armor at certain levels:

## Tips

* At 1 Max Health in the beginning, any enemies that touch Toastie results in an instant death. Toastie does have +20% additional MoveSpeed to be able to maneuver past enemies much easier.
* Upgrading Max Health and Armor from PowerUps can allow Toastie to be able to take hits from early game enemies.
* Laurel is essentially a must have to be able to survive a touch from an enemy.
* Awake (IV) Arcana is a must have in case of accidentally dying by mistake in the very beginning, but also granting Armor to reduce damage from the Reaper after Toastie becomes level 200.
* Tiragisú also helps Toastie survive early game.
* Divine Bloodline (IX) Arcana can be used to increase Max Health by killing enemies with retaliatory damage. Tanking early enemies with retaliatory damage builds up massive Max Health, allowing for instant kills by Level 100 with uncapped flat damage boost per missing HP.
	+ Heart of Fire (XIX) Arcana, Victory Sword and Night Sword allow Toastie to increase Max Health immediately.
	+ Reaching Level 100 increases Max Health dramatically. Thousands extra HP before augmentations like Hollow Heart or Metaglio Left passive items.
	+ Divine Bloodline (IX) gives '+1 flat damage boost per 10 missing HP below Max Health' for all weapons.
	+ Depending on final Max Health, flat damage boost can reach the millions.
* At Level 100, Toastie becomes nearly unkillable, other than the Reaper.
* At Level 200, Toastie can fight toe-to-toe against the Reaper. This is mainly because Toastie gains a whopping 65520 Armor. Against the Reaper, Toastie can survive, as he only takes 15 damage. Also stacking Armor from Awake (IV) with Tiragisú revivals, taking the Armor item, and Armor from PowerUps, Toastie only takes 1 damage from the Reaper.
	+ With Awake (IV), +1 Armor from Revival PowerUp, +3 from Awake (IV), and +2 from Tiragisú (Toastie has to die six times).
	+ +5 Armor from the Armor passive item.
	+ +3 Armor from Armor PowerUp.
* Getting to breakpoints of level 100 or 200 within a 30 minute stage time limit is extremely difficult. Song of Mana, Mannajja, Skull O'Maniac, Crown, Pentagram, and Gorgeous Moon are items that can help speed the leveling faster.
* With +100% Luck, it can help to increase the odds of higher quality chests.

## Trivia

* When a Stalker or Drowner is defeated after casting the spell to unlock Exdash, Toastie will show up on the bottom right corner yelling "Panini" (its code name).
* Toastie's name is a reference to the *Mortal Kombat* series. In the original games, when performing the uppercut, a high damage move, sound designer Dan Forden will appear at the bottom right of the screen and exclaim "Toasty!"
* The strange method of unlocking the character is also a reference to *Mortal Kombat II,* where to fight the hidden character Smoke, players would have to play on a specific stage and wait for Dan Forden to appear and say "Toasty" before pressing Down + Start.
