Vampire
Increases how far the Shadow Step reposition travels — which makes it a traversal upgrade as much as a combat one, given how much of the world is reachable only at night.
What each rank gives is not published for this node.
2 ranks, at 1 skill point each — 2 to take the node to full. The training time each rank costs is unpublished, and it is charged separately from the points.
Named in tree coverage and listed as a retail-build skill by a first-hand launch guide, so the node is present in the shipped game. The description here comes from the tree coverage; its position in the tree, its prerequisites, its point cost and its time cost remain unpublished. Its tier, its prerequisite and its rank count come from a September 2026 structured tree listing — a strong secondary source rather than a first-hand one, so the edges are reported rather than verified. Its on-screen position, its time cost and any Corruption gate remain unpublished. Its Corruption requirement, rank by rank, comes from a September 2026 Vampirism skill table built against the retail release. Corruption rises only by feeding, so this gate is paced by the run rather than bought at a shrine.
