How to Play the Vampire

Strong in Long-term Battles

The Vampire is a unique job that supports the party by learning enemy abilities. They can balance offense and support by absorbing HP and BP, allowing them to deploy a wide range of tactics as they collect more Genome Abilities. They excel in prolonged battles, featuring automatic revival with Undead and complete recovery with Self-Restore.

Vampires also possess high Intelligence and Mind stats, making them well-suited for magic attacks. By stabilizing their performance with HP and BP absorbing techniques, and continuously acquiring new monster abilities, they evolve into a well-balanced job capable of handling both offense and defense.

Absorb Monster Powers and Use Genome Abilities

The Vampire is a unique and powerful job, distinguished by the Genome Abilities they acquire by being hit by enemy attacks in battle. Leveraging their Genome Drain job ability, Vampires can learn a diverse range of skills, from offensive moves and debuffs to healing spells.

With a total of 25 unique Genome Abilities scattered throughout the world, a Vampire's tactical versatility expands significantly as they incorporate more enemy attacks, allowing them to adapt to nearly any situation as you progress through the story.

Beyond Genome Abilities, Vampires also possess a rich set of skills that allow them to heal or strengthen themselves while attacking enemies. They have a wide range of HP and BP absorbing abilities, such as Blood Thirst and Battle Thirst, which are crucial for stabilizing their performance.

For instance, a powerful combo involves boosting your Physical Attack with Absorb Stats before unleashing a devastating ultimate move. The ability to drain HP and BP from enemies is particularly valuable, enhancing stability in prolonged boss battles and making the Vampire a highly prized party member in multi-foe encounters.
