Classes | Code Vein Wiki

Classes in Code Vein are not pre-set by the game, but rather players will form their own "Class" by placing points into the game's different Blood Codes. Blood Codes work something like Skill Trees in other RPGs, allowing players to get different "Gifts" or Magic as well as passive benefits.

Code Vein Classes

Blood Code is a flexible Class system in Code Vein. Instead of having regular starting classes and locked abilities, Code Vein provides freedom by allowing players to level up different Blood Codes simultaneously, and swap them on the fly. Blood Codes affect the player character's actions, Gifts (Magic) available, and player Stats providing optional approaches for difficult areas or bosses and the capability to master multiple builds. At the start of the game, players will start off with three Blood Codes, Fighter, Ranger, and Caster - and as the game progresses you will be able to acquire other Blood Codes from NPCs or from exploration.

Using Blood Codes

Blood codes in Code Vein are categorized as classes. As mentioned, players start off with three Blood Codes: Fighter, Caster, and Ranger - and as the game progresses you'll be able to acquire more Blood Codes. Code Vein introduces a unique mechanic on how Blood Codes work where players are able to swap and equip their desired code that fits their play style on the fly. This provides a versatile option which can turn the tides of a battle. Not only do Blood Codes allow the player to harness its unique Gifts, but swapping a Blood Code also changes the player's stats and the ability to wield different Weapons and Blood Veils.

Gifts and Blood Codes

For each Blood Code, it contains various Gifts that benefit its code. Not only can a player change their Blood Codes, but players can also personalize and equip any desired active and passive Gifts that suits their play style. It is important to take note that most of the Gifts have stats requirement, so some Gifts cannot be equipped with certain Blood Codes.
