Blood

"'You will slowly lose health and ultimately perish if you run out of blood.'"Blood is a key resource in V Rising.

Feeding on a blood-carrying target (victim) will refill the player's blood pool and change their blood type (Creature, Rogue, Warrior, etc.). Each blood type grants different passive bonuses.

Victims have different blood quality percentages. Higher blood quality levels give stronger bonuses. The 5 individual tiers of Blood Pool powers are unlocked at different percentage levels. For example: tier IV Blood Pool powers will not be unlocked by a 15% quality victim.

The player's blood pool drains slowly over time, as well as on dealing & taking damage. It has a 10 litre capacity. Drainage can be temporarily paused whilst sleeping in a Coffin however. Nevertheless, the same Blood Pool cannot be "refilled" by any means. Therefore the player must continuously find new victims lest they run out of blood.

Once the player unlocks s, they can charm and capture victims with. This allows the player to indefinitely drain their blood into s, creating s the player can drink to maintain a specific blood type & quality.

Blood Types & Quality
Threshold percentages: Blood Quality % required to unlock each Tier I: 1% II: 30% III: 60% IV: 90% V: 100%

Ranges: For example, Warrior Blood provides 10-20% Increased Physical Power starting at Tier "I". This bonus maxes out at 100% Blood Quality, rather than at the end of Tier I:
 * 1% Blood Quality => 10% Increased Physical Power
 * 30% Blood Quality => 13% Increased Physical Power
 * 50% Blood Quality => 15% Increased Physical Power
 * 99% Blood Quality => 20% Increased Physical Power
 * 100% Blood Quality => 26% Increased Physical Power (final bonus, effect boosted by 30%)

Detecting Blood Types
Mouse over a victim to display the blood type and blood quality percentage.

Once the player has fed on the V Blood Carrier Tristan the Vampire Hunter, they will unlock the ability. Blood Hunger places the player in a blood detection mode, displaying the blood type icon and percentage over all victims' heads, instead of needing to mouse over.

Consumables
The player can consume items such as s and s to restore a small amount of their blood pool, at the cost of losing any blood type bonuses.

Once the player has fed on the V Blood Carrier Vincent the Frostbringer, they will unlock s. Using the Vampire Power allows the player to imprison high-quality human victims and repeatedly extract s or s from them. Allowing for a consistent supply of high quality blood.

Servants
Servants increase in power and effectiveness with blood quality level. For more info see Servants.
