Race FAQ

Common questions about choosing your race

Can I change my race after choosing?+
Race is a permanent choice that defines your character. Choose carefully! In a future update, a special "Curse of Transformation" item will allow a one-time race change.
Is one race stronger than the other?+
Both races are balanced for end-game content. Vampires excel at PvP and burst damage, while Werewolves are more forgiving in PvE and survive longer in prolonged fights. Skill and equipment matter far more than race choice.
Do races compete against each other?+
Yes! Each month a Race War event tracks total PvP wins per race. The winning race earns a +10% Gold and XP bonus for the following week. This is the heart of the Vampires vs. Werewolves rivalry.
Can Vampires and Werewolves join the same clan?+
No. Clans are race-exclusive — a clan is either a Vampire coven or a Werewolf pack. This maintains the rivalry and makes clan wars meaningful.
Which race is better for beginners?+
Werewolf is recommended for new players due to higher base HP and passive regeneration making early-game easier. Vampire's life steal requires more strategic combat to use effectively.
