What 75 Bonds buys
Vampire starts with a Vampire Knife and Shovel, doubles movement speed and melee damage, heals from normal blood coverage, and takes damage in direct sunlight. Cloud cover is not reliable shelter.
Use the class
- Plan shade. Use roofs or train cover during daytime and watch your health.
- Fight and heal. Use charged knife attacks with an escape route; lifesteal is not invincibility.
- Farm mastery. Equip Vampire and complete Bloodletter: 15 melee kills in one run for the daily 150 XP. Ordinary kills give 5 XP; a win gives 250 XP.
