Vampiric Powers made a notable impact when introduced in Season 2 of Diablo 4. Nonetheless, being a seasonal addition, they were taken out of the game after that season concluded, leaving many fans disappointed.
Fortunately, these powers reemerged in the middle of Season 3, this time as Aspects, rather than being tied to a specific season. This return, although altered, is welcomed by the community.
Continuing this trend, Season 6 retains the Vampiric Powers system, similar to how previous seasons maintained the Malignant Hearts after the first season. This ensures these captivating abilities will be a constant part of Diablo 4 going forward. As the new season begins, let’s explore how players can unlock Vampiric Powers in Season 6.
Vampiric Powers are back!
Utilizing Vampiric Powers in Season 4
In Season 2, players were able to obtain Vampiric Powers from their inventory by navigating to the seasonal powers menu. Now, these powers can be located in the Aspect menu once they have been unlocked.
The mechanics for acquiring these Vampiric Powers have shifted since Season 4, requiring players to unlock the effects of individual Vampiric Powers similar to how most other Legendary Aspects are obtained in the game. A prime method for acquiring them is by gambling with your Murmuring Obels at vendors like Kadala in Westmarch.
Unlike Aspects obtained through dungeon challenges, Vampiric Powers are integrated into the general Legendary Powers database; hence, they must be farmed rather than discovered in specific areas.
Players can still hunt vampires in Diablo 4.
Unlockable Vampiric Powers
From the initial 22 Vampiric Powers introduced in Season 2, only 6 have made a return in Season 3, and they are expected to remain in Season 6 and beyond. Nonetheless, it’s plausible that Blizzard might introduce new Vampiric Powers in future updates.
The following Vampiric Powers are currently available in Diablo 4:
- Offensive Aspect of Accursed Touch
- Blood Boil Offensive Aspect
- Undying Defensive Aspect
- Mobility Aspect of Metamorphosis
- Offensive Aspect of Moonrise
- Hectic Utility Aspect
Here’s a breakdown of each Vampiric Power, including the best items to gamble on for enhanced chances of acquisition:
| Vampiric Power | Aspect Type | Effect | Recommended Gamble |
