![]() The next two classes pull from The Toreador clan. Alright, time to outlast all of these fools. If you're caught unaware or ambushed, your Vanish might be enough for a reprieve, but if you're being hunted by another Prowler, you might only have a few more seconds to get your head on straight. This does highlight the struggles with these Nosferatu classes: the set-up might not always be worth the pay off. And if you're in a trio with active voice chat, a Prowler can be a bona fide essential. Still, the first time you down some poor fool with a spiked club around the corner or a sniper shot from a church tower is electric. You have a handful of tools to know where enemies are, giving you much greater battlefield information, but if you're exactly good at utilizing that info, it can be a steep learning curve. In solo play, The Prowler is the most tactical class and also the most difficult one to master. It can even ping them through walls and terrain. You throw out a pulsing wave of bats that ping the locations of nearby enemies. Next, there is your Scouting Famulus power. This is great for keeping up chases or confirming your kills. The Sense The Beast passive ability allows you to sniff out severly injured players, their blood trail highlighted with your vampire senses. On the other hand, The Prowler is more about environmental awareness and tracking. This playstyle works especially with crossbow weapons thanks to their area-of-effect attacks and silent fire. Better still, the bombs are proximity triggered, meaning they can also be used as mines at various choke points. Like the name implies, you throw a giant improvised bomb that explodes into a corrosive gas that deals damage over time to enemies. This is coupled with the Sewer Bomb power. Try to move too much and you'll give yourself away. ![]() Basically, if you stay perfectly still in the right spot you can hide in plain sight. The Unseen Passage passive ability allows you to turn semi-invisible while crouching. If you are all about setting up ambushes and surprise attacks, The Saboteur is for you. This means a lucky shot or just getting body checked by another player in a tight corridor can spell your doom. Fair warning, this traversal power doesn't make you intangible or invulnerable. ![]() You vanish into a puff of smoke for a few seconds and get a speed boost for a couple of seconds. Both The Saboteur and The Prowler have the Vanish traversal power. This is emphasized in their two Bloodhunt classes. In the lore of Vampire: The Masquerade they are characterized as information brokers, hackers, and spies. Grotesque and ugly, they are a vampire clan that focus a lot more on subterfuge, stealth and misinformation. Bloodhunt Classes | The Nosferatu ClanĪs the name implies, the Nosferatu vampire clan are heavily influenced by the 1922 black-and-white horror film. Yeah, I'd stay hidden too with a face like that. While this playstyle is straightforward and is effective, it is also predictable. Secondly, a lot of these abilities are designed for close quarters combat. Some well-placed traps or sniper shots will down you if you're not careful. Soaring Leap is great for getting around but you can't exactly change where you're going to land. The weaknesses of these Brujah classes is that they're not exactly subtle or quiet. Unless your targets have some power that lets them teleport, a well-placed Earth Shock can usually be combo'd into a shotgun blast or a barrage of crossbow bolts. This is coupled really well with the Earth Shock power, a leaping ground slam which damages and launches enemies straight into the air. The Adrenaline Surge passive ability increases your damage resistance if you're surrounded by enemies, which encourages a far more aggressive playstyle. He's down! The VandalĪlternatively, The Vandal is more aggressive. If you can supplement these abilities with some smart tactics at close to medium range, The Brute is a great direct choice. Not only can you use it to knock back enemies in a wide sweep, potentially knocking them into red gas or environmental hazards, it also acts as a temporary shield against bullets and other attacks. If you can get in and get out of scrapes, this passive will keep you going. This is mostly due to the True Grit passive ability, which allows you to heal up to half of your maximum health if you don't take damage for a while. First, despite the name, The Brute is a more defensive fighter than at first glance.
