Card Overview
Whip is a 0-mana Attack card that deals 8 damage to all enemies simultaneously. While the per-enemy damage is modest, the fact that it hits every enemy on screen at zero cost makes it one of the most reliable combo-enablers in Vampire Crawlers.
Stats
- Damage: 8 to all enemies (AoE)
- Mana Cost: 0
- Color: Red (Attack)
Evolution
Combine Whip with Hollow Heart to evolve it into Bloody Tear. The evolved form deals significantly more AoE damage and adds a lifesteal effect, transforming this utility card into a powerful sustain-damage tool. Hollow Heart is also a strong passive on its own (increases max HP), so building toward this evolution is low-risk.
Synergies
- Combo-trigger gems and arcana: Any effect that activates when you play a 0-cost card turns Whip into an engine piece.
- Bone: Running both 0-cost AoE cards gives you consistent damage output every turn regardless of mana generation.
- High-speed draw builds: The more cards you cycle per turn, the more times Whip can fire, stacking damage quickly against large groups.
Recommended Crawlers
Whip is a universal card with no character restriction. It fits any Crawler that wants reliable AoE damage or needs 0-cost cards to trigger combo effects.
Role in Deck
Combo starter and zero-cost AoE damage source. Useful from early waves through late-game combo chains.
Rating: A Tier
Universally adoptable due to its zero cost and board-wide reach. Consider including one or two copies in almost any deck.
