📋 About This Mod
The long and sort is this: Vampires now have critical weaknesses (Crossbows, Sun, Fire) and some major new strengths. After the rank of Blooded, all vampires will receive some unique passives to make them appropriately stronger. Unique bosses are extra strong, and they come with unique passives that make their boss fights memorable. New Vampire Knights carry powerful enchanted items and are clad in armor. Intrigued?
