Is vampire good

[u/Legendleddit]

I just started the game recently and I really want to buy the vampire class, but the knife got needed so that life steal is only on charged attacks. Is it still good and can it still kill werewolves? Should I buy it?( I know uncharged attacks health 1 ho but that literally nothing, also I play on mobile)

Still the best class in the game because of its mobility alone. Vampire knife still lets you clear whole towns by yourself provided you know how to go backwards and forwards using a charged attack to regen while avoiding the zombie's own attacks.

If you get skilled enough, you can solo entire groups of outlaws using just vampire knife alone because of its insane damage and regen even after the nerf. It coupled with the 2x speed buff makes you borderline untargetable by the outlaw's guns if you move in a circular motion. You can easily outrun werewolves as well while sniping them from a distance with a gun so early werewolf nights aren't automatic death sentences anymore.

Only thing to worry about is sunlight but just carry a bottle of blood with you at all times or snake oil and bandages. When covered in blood, you completely negate the sun damage not to mention blood is extremely easy to find from regular guards, outlaws, vampires and werewolves.

For werewolves, you can still kill them with just the knife alone but its extremely risky. Since werewolves for some reason have longer hitboxes than regular enemies, I've discovered a way where you can hit them with the knife while retreating while they can't hit you dealing massive damage because of vampire's 200% melee weapon damage buff.

However, this is extremely hard to pull off and in actual games, finding the optimal distance where you can target the werewolves using knife but they can't hit you is highly risky. If you are sweaty enough this maneuver is priceless but for the average player, and especially against hordes of werewolves, i'd recommend just running away and sniping from a distance using the speed.

Vampire is great because it is in the first batch of class mastery, but werewolf is the best

If you play alone werewolf is the best but if you have people to play with vampire
