Since Season 2, players can equip Vampiric Powers to enhance their heroes. No matter how evil the powers may be, they provide strong bonuses that you should take advantage of. We show you which are the best, how to unlock them, and what to consider.
What are Vampiric Powers? Vampiric Powers are the new season mechanic in Season 2. With it, you can improve your hero to benefit from even more powerful bonuses.
They function differently than the hearts players could farm in Season 1. In our overview, we now show you some of the generally best powers for your hero, so you can decide which power you want to use.

Tier List of Vampiric Powers – These are the ones you should hunt
Which are the best powers? We compared various sources and considered the meta to achieve the best possible result for our list. We rank all powers from S (very good) to C (mediocre) so you know which are the best options for your heroes.
| Level | Lower Vampiric Powers | Higher Vampiric Powers |
| S | Premonition, Hunting the Weak, Undying | Metamorphosis, Flowing Veins, Moonrise |
| A | Hectic, Hemomania, Gluttonous, Blood-Red Supports | Cursed Touch, Blood Boil, |
| B | Discharge, Infection, Jagged Thorns, Toughening, Horror, | Bathe in Blood, |
| C | Fangs of the Circle, Feed of the Circle, Shield Wall, | Call Familiar |
Note that the powers you need may change depending on your build – it is therefore difficult to draw a general conclusion for all classes and builds. However, the options we have listed are strong powers that you can use for almost any purpose.
How do I unlock Vampiric Powers? To unlock Vampiric Powers, you have three options:
- You use Powerful Blood and can snag a random power
- You complete the seasonal quest and receive a power depending on the mission
- You level up on the Hunter Fame Board and gain new powers depending on your level
However, it is important that you first complete some missions of the seasonal story to unlock and use the power menu.
Can I improve the powers? When you have unlocked the powers you need, you only need to improve them. You can do this with enough “Powerful Blood” in the powers menu. However, it is important to have the necessary pacts on your armor to be able to equip your powers. If you do not have these, you cannot equip them.
There are three pacts:
- Divinity
- Wildness
- Eternity
So if you only have 5 Divinity but you need 6 Divinity, you would not be able to activate the power “Cursed Touch” in your build.
