“Diablo 4 Season of Blood Guide: New System Explanation and Strongest Classes Revealed”
Diablo 4’s highly anticipated second season, “Season of Blood,” was officially launched on October 18. The new season brings exciting gameplay and introduces the powerful “Vampire Power” system. In a comprehensive guide provided by the Technology Toy Channel on “Hong Kong 01,” players can learn about the new system and get recommendations for the strongest classes and vampire abilities.
To join the Season of Blood, players simply need to create a season character. If they have already completed the main storyline in the game, they can skip the plot mission when creating a new character and delve directly into the “Season of Blood” storyline. Additionally, any unlocked mounts can be used immediately on new characters, providing a seamless experience for players.
The highlight of this season is the introduction of “Vampire Power.” Players can unlock this power by completing simple pre-season content tasks. However, unlocking the ability is just the first step. To fully utilize it, players must consume “powerful blood” to unlock and upgrade their vampire abilities. Similar to the Peak Glyph, players will be presented with three randomly selected vampire abilities to choose from after consuming a certain amount of “Powerful Blood.”
Vampire abilities are activated by following the specified “blood contract.” There are three types of blood contracts: violent, sacred, and eternal. Armor obtained in the Season of Blood will be attached with different types and quantities of blood contracts, while weapons and accessories remain unaffected. The number of blood pacts attached to armor increases with the level of the world it is dropped from, reaching a maximum of five blood pacts per piece of armor, allowing players a total of 25 blood pacts.
To further customize their abilities, players can utilize the “Independent Blood Pact” item to add a specific blood pact to their armor or use the “Purifying Acid” to reset the blood pact on a piece of equipment. These crafting items can be obtained from various sources within the game such as the blood-seeking apostles, seasonal activities, seasonal journeys, and new quest lines. It is recommended to save these items for later stages of the game and avoid excessive use in the early stages.
When it comes to the recommended powerful vampire abilities, the guide emphasizes the importance of coordination with professions, skills, equipment, and peak glyphs. However, there are some vampire abilities known for their versatility and effectiveness. For instance, the “Transformation” ability allows players to dodge without hindrance for two seconds while also applying the “Vampire Curse” to enemies that pass through. “Hunting the Weak” increases vulnerability damage, applies vulnerability, and inflicts additional violence with the Vampire Curse, making it an excellent choice for players focusing on ultimate attacks, basic attacks, or continuous damage.
In terms of the strongest classes, the guide suggests that the Rogue class is the top choice for players seeking strength and game efficiency. With its mobility, survivability, and impressive damage output in both solo and group scenarios, the Rogue offers diverse gameplay styles such as the Death Trap flow and the Blade flow. Following closely behind are the Druid and Necromancer classes, both known for their powerful abilities. The Bone Spear skill, especially, remains potent despite minor adjustments, and the summoning flow is expected to be a new standout choice. Barbarians and mages are slightly weaker in comparison but still offer viable gameplay options.
As the Season of Blood is still in its early stages, it is impossible to predict which classes will emerge as the dominant ones. However, players are encouraged to experiment and find their preferred playstyle within the game’s diverse options.
With the new system, powerful vampire abilities, and a range of classes to choose from, Diablo 4’s Season of Blood promises an exciting and thrilling gaming experience for players.
