How To Evolve Any Weapon In Rogue: Genesia

As it is tradition for the genre, going back even before Vampire Survivor, random equipment drops are an important element of Rogue: Genesia. And just like its inspiration, the most important part about random equipment drops is how they play together. On the one hand, this means making sure your equipment card have some synergy. For example, if accumulate a big bonus on projectile speed, you should pick up a lot of projectile-based weapons. On the other hand, there's a much more direct way to optimize equipment: Evolved weapons. If you've ever played Vampire Survivor, you will recognize those as Evolutions. Similar to Evolutions, Evolved Weapons in Rogue: Genesia like normal weapons, with two big differences. They're much better than a normal weapon, and they can't be found normally when leveling up. Instead, an Evolved weapon is more like an upgrade, or better yet a mix of two max level items, one of which is always a weapon. Here's how you can find Evolved weapons yourself.
