Leading global interactive developer Blizzard Entertainment announced a new class Blood Knight launching in Diablo Immortal on Thursday, July 13. The release of the Blood Knight marks a special moment for the Diablo universe as it is the first new Class since the release of the Crusader in 2014.
With hybrid attack options that can be either melee or ranged depending on your proximity to the target, the Blood Knight is a mid-range class. This vampire vanquisher feeds on the life of their victims, traps them in lethal shadows called out with cursed power, and keeps a safe distance from danger with the aid of their steadfast polearm. And if everything else fails, they might as well give in to the evil creature that is battling for control of their humanity inside of them.
Combine the mastery of the polearm with supernatural strength of Blood Knight class in Diablo Immortal
To defeat the demonic foot warriors of the Burning Hells, combine your mastery of the polearm with your supernatural strength and vampire abilities. The Blood Knight can launch powerful attacks to eliminate large groups of enemies and provide exquisite death with his defining life steal attacks.
