Since the survival genre promises endless gameplay as a theme, it is not difficult to gather its own audience. Some games even blend PvP and PvE together and strike a pretty good balance. V Rising is a game that keeps this balance well and stands out with certain differences from the games of its kind.
V Rising blends the theme of survival and PvP quite nicely. Although there is a case of losing materials when you die during PvP, keeping your equipment on you makes V Rising a little more fair compared to its alternatives. In terms of PvE, V Rising has a very large boss hunting section. PvE is inevitable, as the most basic way to improve in the game is to cut these bosses. For these reasons, we have prepared a few tactics and tips for you to make your job a little easier.
V Rising tactics
The difference between day and night
The main difference between V Rising and other survival games can be the effect of day and night. Since our character in V Rising is a vampire, contrary to the custom, night is our biggest friend and daytime is our worst enemy. While the sun’s rays have the opportunity to constantly damage you during the day, you can move freely at night. If you do not have a closed castle at the beginning of the game, you can build the equipment called Mist Brazier and make a canopy that will partially work for you.
Benefits of human form
During your adventure, you can gain the ability to “transform into human form” by killing the boss named Beatrice the Tailor. We can say that this ability is much more functional than it seems. Transforming into a human form allows you to completely hide your vampire identity and roam freely in villages and towns. You can also exchange Silver Coins with some people you come across (assuming you’re still in human form, of course).
Make sure that the heart of the castle is not without energy
The heart of the castle is responsible for the operation of all the production machines in your castle, as well as the greatest defense that protects you from enemy vampires . That’s why you need to keep an eye on the castle heart and always make sure that it has enough Blood Essence (the resource unit responsible for the castle heart’s work). Otherwise, your castle walls will turn red and become vulnerable to damage. This may cause your rook to become a target against other players. Also, if the castle heart is destroyed, your entire castle will be destroyed with it.
Use appropriate equipment for the appropriate job
One of the things the game teaches in the early stages is crafting different types of equipment. Although using different types of equipment may not be obvious from the outside, it actually saves you a lot of time. For example, axes have 25% extra damage against trees, while maces have extra damage against mines. The game does not specifically advise you to “use that weapon” while fighting. In this case, many people may think that the sword is the best weapon because it produces swords at an early stage, but it is much more efficient to use each weapon’s unique bonus throughout the game.
Use blood types to your advantage
Your blood type is one of the big differentiating factors in V Rising. Since you are playing the game as a vampire, you can drink the blood of an enemy when you are close to killing him. If you do this, you gain different features depending on the type of enemy. For example, if you drink the blood of a “Worker” class enemy, you can gather better, or if you drink the blood of a “Creature” class enemy, your movement speed will increase and you will gain some resistance against the sun. There are many good features that each blood group provides in its own way. Therefore, although it is an event that will be a bit of a luxury, using blood type according to the place will make things much easier.
Don’t forget to progress in your quests and use the Blood Altar
The most basic way to understand and learn V Rising is to progress through the quests. The quests that will appear in the upper left from the beginning will accompany you like a guide. From there, you can learn the game and improve by doing what the game wants. Another way to find out is starting in the Altar of Blood. The Blood Altar is a structure that allows you to find and kill the bosses in the game. Here you can find out the location of the bosses (it doesn’t show exactly where, instead it guides you with an indicator), you can also see what the rewards of the bosses are. Killing a boss will help your development a lot, so you should definitely not skip it.
Use the map often
The map is one of your best friends in V Rising. Since everything in the game progresses through materials, it is very difficult to keep in mind where each of these materials came from. In such cases, the map comes to your aid. When you discover a new place (any camp, village, town, etc.), the place you discovered appears on the map and if you move the cursor to that area, you can see what materials you can obtain. In addition to this, specific points will be opened where you can fast travel while you are wandering. The locations of these points will also appear on your map (you must not have any material on you to teleport).
Choose the place where you will build your castle
Your castle will be the final area where you will spend your time and feel safe during the game. Therefore, the location of the castle is a very important factor. Some locations in the game allow you to go up to 1-2 floors above the ground via a ramp. In such regions, there are often broken buildings. These structures will be the game’s call to you “you can build a castle here” (remember that you need to put a castle heart for the start of castle construction). Of course, it doesn’t have to be a relic to build somewhere. However, especially the areas with ramps are preferred quite often, as they are safer for the defense of the heart of the castle.
