Dorf
Gorten mag wie ein verschlafenes, friedliches Provinzdorf wirken, aber lass dich davon nicht täuschen. Hier tummeln sich zahlreiche Helden und Heldinnen, schon so manch ein Abenteuer begann an diesem Ort.
Overview
Village is the hub area in Vampire Crawlers. Pre-run preparation, Arcana picks, Blacksmith upgrades, and gem curation happen here.
No combat — but Village preparation defines run efficiency.
Facilities
Fortune Teller (Arcana Tent)
Unlocked by Polentir relic. Pick 1-2 Arcanas pre-run. Mandatory stop for combo trinity assembly.

Other Shops
Power Up shop, card shop, etc.
Strategy Tips
Village = pre-run decision phase. Order:
- Fortune Teller: pick build direction (combo / defense / triggers)
- Blacksmith: upgrade key stats (Might, Greed, Recovery)

Early-game coins are tight — focus highest-impact facilities, skip the rest.
