Vampire Survivors Waltz of Pearls Guide: Unlock and Projectile Bounces

The short answer: reach level 50 with Imelda

Waltz of Pearls (XI) is unlocked by reaching level 50 with Imelda. Projectiles from listed weapons gain up to three bounces.

It helps supported projectiles stay active around enemy groups and screen edges. Iron Blue Will (VII) also adds bounces, but the affected weapon sets differ, so compare the card descriptions.

Unlock steps

1. Select Imelda.
2. Reach level 50 in any stage.
3. After the run, confirm that Waltz of Pearls (XI) is unlocked.
4. Check the affected weapons on the Arcana selection screen.

The character unlock roadmap covers the basic roster.

How to use it

• Select it after confirming that the build contains an affected weapon.
• Use dense enemy groups and screen edges to create more projectile paths.
• Three bounces is an upper limit, not a guarantee that every projectile behaves identically.
• Choose another Arcana if the build contains only unaffected weapons.

Do not treat it as an identical copy of Iron Blue Will. The supported weapons are the deciding factor.
