Master Combat and Stealth Approaches
Balanced Melee Build
Focus on Strength and Blood Skills first, then add Precision for dodging. Use mixed attacks to keep enemies engaged and avoid taking unnecessary damage that drains your will.
Stealth and Precision Focus
Prioritize abilities that highlight enemies and reduce noise. Strike from the shadows to preserve health and conserve blood for critical moments in tight corridors.
Manage Resources and Blood Economy
Blood Conservation Strategy
Never waste blood on reckless transformations. Harvest humans only when necessary and plan routes to minimize backtracking to save supplies.
Skill Point Allocation
Assign points based on your preferred playstyle each time you level up. Respec options are limited, so choose paths that align with your intended role in combat encounters.
