Effect and Behavior
Vol Confodere is the evolved form of Confodere, obtained by evolving the base weapon. "Vol" derives from Latin for "will/flight," and the weapon delivers rapid thrusting attacks to nearby enemies at high speed. The defining mechanic is that damage scales with the Speed stat — the higher the player's Speed, the greater the damage output per hit.
This Speed-to-damage relationship is rare in Vampire Survivors. Stacking Bracer and other Speed passives simultaneously increases attack frequency AND damage output, creating a compounding effect that rewards Speed-focused builds more than any other weapon type.
Evolution Path
Hold the required Vol Confodere evolution item, max the weapon, then open a chest after 10:00.

| Prerequisite | Must first obtain Vol Confodere by evolving Confodere |
Strengths
Speed-based damage scaling is the weapon's unique build axis — no other weapon simultaneously increases attack frequency and per-hit damage from a single stat. Attacks cover all nearby enemies, creating a passive protective zone around the player that deals continuous damage to anything that approaches. The natural upgrade path from Confodere makes this a clean long-term build goal from run start.
Weaknesses
Requires evolving Confodere first, meaning one weapon slot must track the evolution chain through two stages. Speed-focused builds sacrifice Might and Area investment, narrowing the build's flexibility. Might provides only marginal gains compared to Speed for this weapon, creating strict prioritization pressure.

Gameplay Tips
Build around Speed from the first level-up. Bracer is the top-priority passive — each Speed point raises both attack rate and damage. The nearby-enemy attack coverage rewards pushing into dense enemy formations rather than kiting. Sustain high HP with Pummarola to handle the unavoidable hits taken from close-range play. Plan the Confodere → Vol Confodere evolution chain from run start, ensuring both weapon slots are used efficiently across the transition.
FAQ
Q. What's the difference between Confodere and Vol Confodere? A. Confodere is the base weapon; Vol Confodere is its evolved form with Speed-based damage scaling added. The Vol version is faster and more powerful across all stats.
Q. How much does Speed affect damage? A. Speed acts as a direct damage multiplier. Higher Speed means higher damage per hit, making Speed-focused builds significantly more effective than Might-focused builds for this weapon.
Q. Is Might worth investing in? A. It contributes to base damage but does not scale the weapon as efficiently as Speed. When build resources are limited, prioritize Speed over Might.
