Overview of Giovanna with observations and tips to play her in Vampire Survivors.
Character Profile
Giovanna is a prominent character known as the “hot witch” and possesses unique abilities. Starting with a 20% bonus to movement speed, she swiftly maneuvers on her broom, giving her a significant advantage in terms of mobility. Her speed is not the only benefit she gains, as Giovanna also experiences a 1% increase in projectile speed as she progresses. This improvement allows her to surpass characters like Dommario, who have high initial projectile speed, once she reaches level 41. لكن, there are crucial aspects related to Giovanna’s weapon, Gatti Amari, that players should consider.
Weapon Description
Gatti Amari is an intriguing weapon in the game, summoning meowing cats through hexagrams on the screen’s edge. At the early stages, these cats can be both helpful and hindering due to their random behavior. They often move in straight lines but change direction sporadically. While they do attack, they tend to show a preference for targeting Giovanna, dealing twice as much damage to her compared to enemies. بالإضافة إلى ذلك, the cats engage in fights among themselves, resulting in chaotic clashes. A common strategy is to take advantage of the “big ball of violence” (B.B.O.V.) when Giovanna requires a momentary respite. This cloud of fighting cats is initially large and provides a temporary shield. علاوة على ذلك, with increased luck and the right conditions, the B.B.O.V. occurs more frequently.
The cats also possess another unique characteristic—they consume pickups found on the ground, each with different effects:
- Heart of Fire causes explosions, including area-of-effect damage, similar to Nduja Fritta Tanto.
- Orologion freezes in place.
- Both Clover Drops, little and gilded, double the cats’ speed.
- Floor Chicken enhances the cats’ ضرر, which can be troublesome if Giovanna’s health is low.
- Orologion, Rosaries, and Vacuums can be utilized by Giovanna instead.
- The cats’ behavior, including their attacks on Giovanna and the occurrence of the B.B.O.V., is influenced by luck. Higher luck decreases the chance of the cats targeting Giovanna and increases the likelihood of floor chicken drops. As the cats do more damage the more they eat, luck becomes a crucial factor.
Evolving Gatti Amari into Vicious Hunger using the Stone Mask transforms the weapon. The cats are replaced by a large cat’s eye that leaves a trail of black smoke while devouring items in its path. لكن, the eye no longer gains different effects from consumption. بدلاً من, it either devours the item, including XP gems, or converts the killed enemy or consumed item into coins and money bags. This evolution is particularly beneficial for gold runs. لكن, it significantly reduces leveling speed as the cats focus on eating dropped XP. If evolving Gatti Amari, expect leveling to slow down considerably. على الجانب الآخر, normal runs, similar to those with Cross, will be smoother if Gatti Amari remains unevolved.
Pros and Cons of Playing Giovanna
Why choose Giovanna?
Giovanna’s increasing projectile speed and enhanced mobility from her 20% movement speed bonus make her an incredibly versatile character during runs. Slow but powerful weapons become devastating in her hands as she levels up. Conversely, fast, low-damage weapons such as knives and magic wands excel in swiftly dispatching enemies. With the addition of cooldown reduction, even elite foes and bosses are unable to withstand the onslaught of firepower unleashed by Giovanna.
Why hesitate to choose Giovanna?
The biggest drawback lies in the unpredictable nature of Gatti Amari and the cats it summons. At lower levels, the cats are slow and attack Giovanna as frequently as they do enemies. As Gatti Amari levels up, more cats appear, intensifying their attacks on Giovanna until they have consumed around 25 floor chicken. This creates a significant challenge, as Giovanna must not only avoid enemies but also the cats. علاوة على ذلك, the cats become stronger as they consume more floor chicken, which Giovanna could otherwise utilize for healing. With their double damage inflicted on Giovanna, they become as troublesome as the enemies being confronted. Another downside is that countering the cats’ behavior requires sacrificing weapon and passive slots.
Unlocking Giovanna
To unlock Giovanna, players must locate and open her coffin in the inlaid library, which is guarded by gargoyles. وجدت مرة واحدة, Giovanna can be unlocked for 1000 ذهب, which scales accordingly.
Tips and Build Recommendations
Acquire a secondary weapon for Giovanna promptly. Gatti Amari is unreliable in the early stages and may not be sufficient for a successful run. Magic Wand is a suitable choice as it allows Giovanna to focus on avoiding the cats until they can be dealt with effectively. لكن, the cats themselves can be empowered by acquiring area, cooldown, luck, and duration enhancements, making them incredibly formidable. Since the cats do not gain damage through leveling or evolution, they rely on consuming floor chicken to increase their damage. If Gatti Amari remains unevolved, the cats will continue to consume floor chicken and progressively become stronger. Even after consuming a hundred or so floor chicken, their damage gain slows down, and they engage in constant battles around Giovanna, resulting in both an enjoyable and formidable spectacle.
Money Money Money! يبني:
- أسلحة: Bone, ثوم, King Bible, Magic Wand, Santa Water.
- Passives: Attractorb, Clover, Endless Tome, Pummarola, Spellbinder, Stone Mask. This build maximizes Giovanna’s gold-making potential while providing excellent survivability through the Holy Trinity (Bone, ثوم, King Bible) supplemented by Bone and Magic Wand. To optimize this build, it is advisable to evolve Gatti Amari last, ensuring that Vicious Hunger is significantly strengthened while luck increases the chances of obtaining more gold.
The Cat Build:
- أسلحة: Laurel, Runechaser.
- Passives: درع, Attractorb, Clover, Duplicator, Endless Tome, Torrona’s Box, Metaglios (both), Silver Ring.
- Arcanas: Beginning, Gemini, Silent Old Sanctuary. كما يوحي الاسم, this build heavily relies on the cats summoned by Gatti Amari. With the inclusion of Duplicator, Beginning, and Gemini, players can witness the presence of approximately ten cats throughout the run. This build presents a “risk versus reward” scenario, where players focus on leveling Laurel, درع, and Clover while maximizing the consumption of floor chicken by the cats. Once Beginning and Gemini are acquired, Giovanna becomes well-armored, and Runechaser can be evolved into No Future, making guardians more manageable due to the multitude of cat fights occurring simultaneously. After evolving Laurel, players can navigate the screen, enjoying the spectacle of a screen-covering B.B.O.V.
خاتمة
بدءًا, unlocking Giovanna left me apprehensive about using Gatti Amari. A weapon that harms its user is typically one to avoid. لكن, with the addition of Trouser, I began to appreciate Gatti Amari’s potential for gold runs. Since then, I have grown to enjoy playing Giovanna more. Like Poe, she requires some planning and has her limitations. مع ذلك, with careful strategy, she becomes a formidable powerhouse, soaring through the skies on her broom while her cats decimate anything that dares to appear on the screen. Playing as the hot witch barefoot waifu is an enjoyable experience in its own right.
