Santa Ladonna is one of the playable characters in Vampire Survivors. Her starting weapon is Santa Javelin.
Unlocking[]
Santa is unlocked by surviving 20 minutes in Laborratory.
After unlocking, Santa can be purchased for 666, which scales with other characters purchased.
Alternatively, Santa can be unlocked in the Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane by casting the Spell "shesawit".
Passive bonuses[]
Santa starts with +2 Armor and +30% Luck. Additionally, Santa starts with -70% Cooldown, however, the bonus depreciates by 20% each level, until the bonus is only -10% at level 4.
Level | Cooldown |
---|---|
1 | -70% |
2 | -50% |
3 | -30% |
4+ | -10% |
Upon reaching level 40 and 80, Arma Dio and Candybox will spawn underneath her respectively.
Santa has an "HP-Critical" skill that activates as soon as her HP drops below 20% of her Max Health, which triggers a Rosary. The skill may only be activated again after recovering all HP. Receiving fatal damage resulting in a game-over will not trigger the skill.
Santa can find Arcanas in regular treasure chests, which does not affect her maximum amount of Arcanas.
If Santa has Santa Water, King Bible, and Cross in her inventory and all three weapons are at least level 8, upon her next level up, all three weapons disappear and Santa gains a hidden La Borra, Unholy Vespers, and Heaven Sword.
Tips[]
- Santa Javelin starts with an extremely long Cooldown of 6.5 seconds. It is highly advised to take advantage of Santa's early Cooldown boost to survive until you can level up Santa Javelin or obtain other weapons.
- Attractorb, Spellbinder and Clover are not necessary to obtain her hidden evolutions. However, Clover is still required to evolve Santa Javelin into Seraphic Cry.
- Until the hidden evolutions have been obtained, either refrain from fully leveling up the Clover or avoid picking up any evolution chest. Otherwise, there is a risk of Cross regularly evolving into Heaven Sword, which will prevent Santa from obtaining her hidden weapons and freeing up 3 weapon slots.
- Santa can have the highest number of weapons out of any character, as she can gain La Borra, Unholy Vespers and Heaven Sword without taking up any weapon slots, and drops an Arma Dio and a Candybox as she levels up. Thus, if the player fills all slots before picking up Arma Dio and the Candybox, Santa can have up to 11 weapons and 7 passive items (not including Sole Solution and any stage weapons and items, nor the Hail from the Future (X) and Moonlight Bolero (VI) Darkanas which increase the number of weapons by 7 and allows for obtaining every passive in the game).

Trivia[]
- Santa Ladonna's name is likely a pun on "Madonna santa", an exclamation literally translated as "Holy virgin Mary".
- Santa's hidden effect requiring Santa Water (a pun on holy water), the King Bible and the Cross to activate is probably a reference to the fact that the character of Santa Claus is inspired by Saint Nicholas.
- Despite Saint Nicholas, and therefore Santa Claus, being a man, Santa Ladonna is a woman.
