Hastened Corruption
Hastened Corruption is a useful starting point for a vampire-focused playstyle.
Corruption is what allows you to progress through the vampire skill tree, so increasing corruption progression helps you reach additional vampire abilities sooner.
Why Corruption Matters
Corruption is tied directly to progression through the vampire skill tree.
Building corruption faster therefore allows you to progress toward more vampire abilities sooner.
Overfeeding
Overfeeding is another important vampire skill to work toward.
It is part of the Hastened Corruption tree and changes what happens when you feed.
What Does Overfeeding Do?
Overfeeding gives you additional health beyond your normal health limit when you feed.
This additional health acts as a buffer during combat.
Endless Hunger
Endless Hunger is another skill that can be combined with Overfeeding as part of a vampire-focused setup.
Closing Wounds And Blood Theft
Closing Wounds and Blood Theft can also be combined with Overfeeding and Endless Hunger.
Together, these vampire skills can make Coen much more difficult to kill during nighttime combat.
Vampire Skill Combination At Night
Combining Hastened Corruption, Overfeeding, Endless Hunger, Closing Wounds, and Blood Theft creates a nighttime setup focused around vampire progression and survivability.
With these skills working together, Coen can become very difficult to kill at night and can play aggressively during combat.
