How to Unlock Maruto Cuts in Vampire Survivors Tides of the Foscari DLC

Never go full anime.

Tides of the Foscari DLC for Vampire Survivors has tons of pop culture references, it seems. Maruto Cuts, one of the DLC’s new characters, is partially inspired by Naruto (from Boruto), and partially Guts (from Berzerk). He definitely resembles both of these anime and manga characters in a sense, and Prima Games harbors guides for everything in Tides of the Foscari DLC, including how to unlock Maruto Cuts. Check it out below.

How to Get Maruto Cuts in Vampire Survivors Tides of the Foscari DLC

Maruto Cuts can be unlocked very early in the Vampire Survivors Tides of the Foscari DLC. You just need to pilot Eleanor and form a union of her three weapons: SpellString, SpellStream, and SpellStrike. Here’s how you can do it. After you do this, you just need to purchase Maruto Cuts from the Play menu as usual. His starting weapon is Eskizzibur, which slices enemies that are very near you.

Eskizzibur – Attacks nearby enemies. Retaliates.

The combo finisher mentioned at Level 5 is a circular AoE attack in front of the character. There’s also a cool animation when Maruto Cuts does it. It deals a great deal of damage and you will certainly be using this weapon a LOT in this DLC.

The evolution of Eskizzibur into Legionnaire can be done easily, and we have a short tutorial about that as well.
