Recovery
A steady pulse of life that turns the tide against endless hordes.
Recovery is a passive weapon in Vampire Survivors that automatically restores a portion of the survivor's health over time. Unlike active weapons that deal damage to enemies, Recovery acts as a crucial support tool, allowing players to sustain themselves during prolonged encounters without relying solely on consumable items or specific character traits. It is often paired with other healing effects to create an unkillable build.

Lore & Background
Scholars of the cursed lands believe that Recovery taps into an ancient, ambient energy found in the ruins where monsters spawn. This energy, usually consumed by the undead, can be siphoned back by those who wield it correctly. When fully evolved with the Metaglio Left, this passive power becomes a beacon of light, transforming simple regeneration into a radiant aura that heals not just the survivor but potentially allies as well, defying the dark logic of the vampire's realm.
In Their Own Story
The air was thick with the scent of rot and iron. Elara's health bar flickered red, a single scratch away from becoming another mindless drone in the horde. She didn't have time to grab a potion; the swarm was too close. Then, she felt it—the familiar, gentle warmth spreading through her veins. The Recovery aura pulsed, stitching her wounds together second by second. As the monsters clawed at her armor, she stood firm, her health ticking up faster than they could drain it down. She wasn't just surviving; she was enduring.
Reader's Guide
Recovery is a passive weapon that heals the survivor automatically over time. It does not require activation and works alongside all other active weapons in your loadout. To upgrade Recovery, you must find Weapon Power-ups or use specific gems like the Metaglio Left. Increasing its level improves the healing amount per tick and reduces the cooldown between ticks, making survival significantly easier against high-damage enemies. The weapon evolves into a more powerful form when combined with the Full Moon relic and the Metaglio Left at maximum level. This evolution enhances the visual effect and typically increases the healing potency or area of effect, allowing for sustained combat without fear of death.
