Blood Veils are a type of Armor that provide protection and bolster the gift potency of their wearers, while also serving as a useful tool for draining ichor. These can be found inside chests, dropped by enemies and/or bosses, given by NPCs, obtained as a reward for completing quests, and can be purchased from Merchants.
- Blood Veils have their own stat scaling which doesn't affect the players Character Stats. The shown stat scaling in the Blood Veil screen tells you how it scales with your Character Stats. For example: If you have a B Strength Scaling on your Blood Veil, it is scaling with B rating based on your Character Stats, which then determines the Damage of your Drain Attack.
- The Blood Veil does not increase your Weapon damage or Character Stats.
- The scaling of the Blood Veil only has impact on your Drain Attack damage as well as on your Dark and Light Gifts spell damage (not including weapon buffs like Flame Weapon or Weapon Attack Skill gifts etc.) and other stats that are related only to the Blood Veil.
- Blood Veils modify the type of Drain Attacks a player will perform. Those types are: Ogre, Hound, Stinger and Ivy. Each type is different, and this affect the way to use the charged Drain Attack in combat. Also change the parry animation and its startup, effectively modifying when the parry will occur from type to type.
- Ivy type Blood Veils have the ability to move the area of effect of their Drain Attack using the movement controls while holding the charge, indicated by the black cloud of smoke moving.
- The Blood Veil weight + the (active) Weapon weight + your Blood Code determine the Mobility of your Character
- Blood Veils protect players against:
- Cut
- Blunt
- Pierce
- Blood
- Fire
- Ice
- Lightning
- Stagger

AnonymousIs it just me or are there barely any Stinger-Type veils?
Speaking of, it would really help if this list mentioned what type each of them is. Or if their specific entries did.

Daybreak Thunderfang has wrong description, it belongs to VIolet Gear, while VG itself is missing

Is it just me, or are Ivy-type Blood Veils by FAR the best in general, just because of the ability to reposition the charged Drain Attack right underneath an unaware enemy from MILES away? It's equally great for knocking ledge-clinging ambushers to their doom before they even know you're there, and make capping out your Ichor stock an absolute breeze.

Best blood veil for a dex build with some buffs and spells apart from venous claw?

I think the "Festive Series" of Blood Veils are the same as the other variants of the "Night Series" veils. They have the same stats and scaling.

I wish you could color blood veils yourself instead of having to buy the color variants.

I seriously wish the Night Spear or Silver Garb had blue variants.

Ivy type blood veils can move the charged drain attack aoe. While charging, use the movement keys/stick to move it around.

Kinda wished they filled the missing Veils for some of these sets, for example, there no GX Stinger-type Veil, or a Queenslayer Hounds or Ivy-type Veil.

Can you change the look of your Blood Veil without changing the Blood Veil itself?

Why does changing my blood veil cause my weapon damage to change if they do not increase weapon damage according to this?
- Anonymous
Does anyone know how to get Imperial Raiment I saw someone have it but I don't see it on this list.
Does anyone know a blood veil that scales great with strength?
The Dark and Light Stats actually only determine the Damage increase/decrease of Attack Spells. They dont increase the damage of Buffs or Weapon Skills. dunno if that is a bug or intended

Are these the only blood veils available? If its so its a little less than I expected
- Anonymous
Does anyone know if there is a way to hide the blood veil cause I actually really like how my character looks with the clothing under it
where exactly do the name of the different Drain Attack types (Ogre, Hound, Stinger and Ivy) come from? my Queenslayer Claw f.e. says "Slash" instead of "Ogre" as attack type
