Archetype Tier List

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt is a free-to-play battle royale game where you get to choose between six different types of vampire. These are spread across four different clans and are known as archetypes. Each one has a different set of three skills: one passive, one active, and one movement ability which compliments a particular type of gameplay. The Venture clan is all about power and ambition while the Brujah clan relies on brute strength and passion. Players can also choose a character from the Nosferatu clan that is best for the spymasters at heart or the Toreador clan that lures unsuspecting victims with their beauty. This Archetype Tier List ranks who we consider to be the best in the game.

The Best Archetype

We consider the Vandal to be the best Archetype in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt. The Earth Shock and Soaring Leap enables the Brujah to traverse long distances in seconds and gives it the best movement skills in the game when scaling rooftops. The Vandal's Archetype Power allows them to crash-land upon the ground and cause damage to any enemies unfortunate enough to be in range. This is a great character to have for close range fighting as they gain damage resistance when up close with their enemies in melee combat. The Vandal's choice of weapon is heavily influenced by their passive and archetype power, both of which encourage you to stay close to their opponent when in combat. Thus, melee weapons are especially deadly in the Vandal's hands.
