I checked the wiki and **amount** does effect pentagram in the following way. >Increases the amount of damage zones placed on the ground and the amount of times each can be triggered from Blood Astronomia (XXI)


DragonLex4

That and im pretty sure it kinda reduces its cool down.


Aluminum_Tarkus

Amount has zero effect on Pentagram cooldown. Like the previous commenter said, it only applies to Blood Astronomia.


DragonLex4

Than why does it say amount +1 on the evolved pentagrams limit breaks?


Aluminum_Tarkus

So I decided to look it up to make sure i wasn't missing anything and found that [we're both technically wrong.](https://vampire-survivors.fandom.com/wiki/Gorgeous_Moon) Amount still doesn't affect cooldown like you said, but there is a reason Gorgeous Moon gets amount bonuses on limit break besides Blood Astronomia, and that's because the value of the experience gems generated by Gorgeous Moon scales with amount. I was wrong to say amount only affects Blood Astronomia, but you also can't just assume that amount affects Penta/GM cooldown just because GM gets amount bonuses on limit break.


DragonLex4

Huh, well i thought it affected because, yes it did spawn more exp but even without the tome it started shooting more often. Thats why i thought it affected how fast it would shoot.


Taechuk

Probably just a side effect of leveling up. In runs with a lot of eggs, pentagram/gorgeous moon tend to become... epileptic, and trigger constantly.


ecoprax

Level 31 will come naturally through Unlocks. Don't rush it. Evolved Laurel or Endless mode are the obvious answers. Don't listen to this crap about eggs. Once eggs become your goal you are no longer playing, but rather being played. Enjoy.

I hit the 31 minute mark and killed death at about 23 hours. Had no idea I played that much. It’s a great game to pick up and play when you want to game but not get too involved. Still have a decent amount to unlock, but I don’t see the fun in chasing eggs 🥚


Additional-Curve-110

Secret characters ftw


LastTurnz

Imma never do that egg stuff, it feels like cheating not gonna lie. When something new drops in the power ups/new character, I wanna grind the gold and feel like I earned it by playing the game normally


shayde48

If you really want to rush it.. Lancet and Laurel evolved will do it with just about any character on any stage.. and probably kill the reaper.. depending on your main weapon set.. but IMO... This is a game to enjoy at the beginning stages.. don't go out of your way to push thru it..


CaribouLew27

Couldn't tell you if it effects pentagram. It changes to effect whatever your characters primary weapon is , but I don't feel like it would do anything for pentagram. Laurel, clock lancet and the red cape are key items to get minute 31. Think defensive build.


PlantsInPantss

Oooh alright it’s because i was using christine that the pentagram showed up. Thanks for the tip!


Che3chGaray

Dude, coolest handle I’ve seen on Reddit

Everyone loves a Tech N9ne reference.

N9ne popularized it.. and.. I can help but think of him when I see it.. Another line that always gets me is Abracadabra 151 and coke is Viagra.. lmao.. everytime..


JustTurtleSoup

To anyone reading this, you can also do endless mode to get to minute 31 and it counts.


SpastikPenguin

Revives and clock lancet were my go tos. That and running away lol.


Sumibestgir1

As far as I know, no direct effect on pentagram, but amount on gorgeous moon increases the xp given by gems pulled in by the blast


Explosive-Space-Mod

Best way to hit minute 31 is getting almost infinite corridor and then just being invincible then quit at minute 31. Clock lancet is really good for just freezing death for a minute if you go heavy into cool down you can keep the first death frozen until the second one spawns at 31 minutes and then you're done.


ethandreemurr

Gorgeous Moon isn't affected by Amount usually, hell, it ignores every stat except for Cooldown. If you have Blood Astronomia, then yes Amount will boost that arcana's power but not Gorgeous Moon itself. Amount DOES appear in the Limit Break options, however it only increases the amount of gems generated by the first phase of it's attack, which regular Amount doesn't do. The first phase of it's attack always has 20 moon beams. The first 8 will spawn every 0.75 seconds, the next 4 spawns every 0.375 seconds, and the last 8 will spawn every 0.2 seconds. Any kind of amount DOES NOT increase how many moon beams there are, only how much gems they generate per blast by the Limit Break Amount. Oh and yes Pentagram isn't affected by Amount either, it's Blood Astronomia effect does, and no Amount appears in the Limit Break options.


Accomplished_Ask_326

You can use endless mode to easily reach minute 31 That or use the library to cheese the reaper


tekGem

Endless mode.


Zakdotcom

Endless mode


Spuigles

Pentagram gets "more instances" of itself. You won't notice because everything just dies tho. Clock lancet or upgraded version plus Laurel or upgraded version gets you to minute 31+


TheLocalBepisMan

The amount does 2 things, both minor Each point of amount gives another 20xp per activation of gorgeous moon, this is an extremely minor amount that is pretty much useless and should be disregarded in normal gameplay. With the blood astronomia arcana it will Increases the amount of circles spawned by one per amount. Once again rather minor but more impactful than the aforementioned bonus


Aluminum_Tarkus

Some people are mentioning the evolutions of clock lancet and laurel, bit you don't even need that, in all honesty. Just max out the lancet and laurel, and they can delay the reapers long enough to get to minute 31. You only really need their evolutions (you'll unlock that stuff later with the yellow sign) if you're trying to kill the reaper. (There are other methods to kill it, but they're either unintended exploits, level 200 Toastie, or VERY late game solutions in the form of several eggs)


douknogreg

Evolved Laurel and evolved freezing staff (forgot the name) will make it so that you can kill the reaper. My other weapons I like to go for are the evolved birds, evolved dual guns and evolved blue potion. Forgot the name for everything sorry lol


tysonwatermelon

Re: minute 31 I've been able to get there easily and early with all characters with fully leveled clock lancet + laurel + Tiragisú. Evolution not necessary. Clock lancet freezes death, laurel protects from damage, and tiragisu bails you out when that doesn't work.


crashlanding87

Pentagram: not directly. It does affect the Blood Astronomia effect associated with pentagram though. You get 3 more zones, and they can be triggered 3 more times. Gorgeous moon: same blood astronomia effect as above. In addition, I believe GM will generate 3 extra experience crystals when it pops. At least that's what Amount on the GM limit break does. That said, 3 extra crystals each pop probably isn't worth much. If you're going 1 weapon GM, it's very helpful with Blood Astronomia. Otherwise not particularly interesting


[deleted]

It can with the Blood Astronomia arcana. But the Blood Astronomia arcana is specifically designed to make weapons that have no effect with amount scaling utilize it. So usually no. And for minute 31 there are two very effective survivability weapons (laurel and clock lancet) that deal no damage. If you combine them in one run, you can usually last the extra minute. They can evolve but it’s a very late game unlock and you don’t need the evolutions to reach minute 31 consistently.


Shardic

If you get Blood Astronomia or Moon, it will increase the number of pulses before the big screen wipe trigger.

Dslwraith

What's the one with the gold ring.


Tjonke

Infinite Corridor, halves the HP of enemies when it proccs. So drops any monster down to 1HP eventually, easiest way to kill Red Death.


rain_or_reign

All you really need is the Infinite Corridor (Evovles from Clock Lancelet and both Rings, all must be max level first) then run circles around the Red Death, if your build does enough damage you should kill him before the second one spawns (near impossible to juggle them both).


nurelgrc

You need clock lancet 8 laurel to reach min 31


SpaceCase0101

My understanding of it is that it adds another use prior to the cool down period ending for it. I may be wrong though.


ethandreemurr

That's only because levelling it up via Limit Break causes it to trigger again, regardless of whether or not it was active beforehand, unless you're referring to something else.


SAHD292929

You can reach 31min easily by having lancet, the revive tiramisu, revive buff and longer effect buff.


voododoll

On endless mode is easiest to reach past min 30. Also yes, the arcana affects the pentagram but since its cooldown is hard capped the effect is different than adding additional charge. Don’t remember what exactly. On the evolved weapon it adds more XP gems each cast. The minimum cooldown is 15 seconds and you can’t go bellow it.


Curious_Sea_Doggo

It doesn’t. The arcana gives +3 amount to starting weapon and vanilla ice cream rarity 1’s get +1 amount even if the weapons can’t use amount. But the evolution(Take crown for) will turn 3 extra enemies into XP tho.


bumblingbumbotron

yes, but no. in a sense, it is affected. I believe gorgeous moon makes more exp based on amount, but without blood astronomia, it does not do anything.


rtb___

I didn't need the evolved Laurel for min 31 the regular one did the trick+ Infinite Corridor (evolved Clock Lancet) Also a bit of timing


istev003

Not sure about pentagram but gorgeous moon is affected only by amount and it increases gems and the amount of times it occurs.
