Ebony Wings is a weapon in Vampire Survivors. It is the starting weapon of Exdash Exiviiq. It is unlocked by getting Peachone to Level 7.
Its Union is Vandalier, which also requires Peachone.
Effects[]
Ebony Wings is a bird that flies around the player and bombards a circling zone with projectiles. The zone revolves counterclockwise around the player. The bird moves behind the player at a slower speed, but the bombarding circle will always stay in a position relative to the player.
By default, Ebony Wings fires 4 sets of 4 projectiles. Each set fires all of its projectiles at about the same spot, set by the position of the visible zone at the instant that set starts. A set firing is on a different timer to the zone being active, so the first set can start firing up to a second after the zone lights up. This means that the number of sets per activation can vary by 1.
Duration increases the time bombards are active, with 1 second roughly equal to 1 set by default. Area increases the Area-of-Effect of the projectiles, but not the size of the bombarding circle itself. Speed increases how fast the circle moves. Amount increases how many projectiles are fired per set. Cooldown bonuses reduce the time between each activation, the time between each set of projectiles, and the time between each projectile within a set. Move Speed improves Ebony Wings's movement but has virtually no effect to its capability.
Arcanas[]
- Gemini (I) - creates counterpart Zhar Ptytsia. It levels up as Peachone does and benefits from Limit Breaking. Its bombardment area is slightly further than Ebony Wings's.
- Twilight Requiem (II) - Allows Ebony Wing's projectiles to explode when they expire. Damage is based on Curse.

Tips[]
- Ebony Wings benefits the most from Cooldown and Duration bonuses increasing the active duration and attack more often when so.
- Ebony Wings should not be considered a main damage dealer, but rather supplementary damage. It works the best in large crowds of enemies. The projectiles have infinite pierce.
- Ebony Wings has an interesting interaction with the Chaos in the Dark Night Arcana where every 10 seconds the circular zone slows down, stops, changes direction, then accelerates rapidly, and every 10 seconds starting :05 its speed doubles and halves alternately, in total causing its speed to increase every 20 seconds.
Trivia[]
- Move Speed used to increase the bombarding circles' speed, like Speed. However, this was not intended and was fixed eventually.
- Ebony Wings's zone circles counterclockwise, which is the opposite of Peachone
- This weapon is inspired by the sub-weapon version of Suzaku from the Castlevania series. The attack pattern is similar to the Item Crash of Cardinal, Red Bird.
- The item's name is a reference to the theme "Ebony Wings" from Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia.
