CODE VEIN – How to Unlock Blood Codes
/How to Unlock Blood Codes
The biggest innovation that Code Vein has to offer is the Blood Code system. As a Void-type Revenant, you have the power to absorb the classes of others, able to switch between Codes on the fly to suit the needs of the situation at hand. These classes allow you to focus your proficiencies in close combat, ranged attacks, or “casting”, which allows you to use more special Gifts to gain the upper hand.
Unlike other Soulslike games, where leveling up is done via each individual attribute, leveling up in Code Vein simply upgrades all of your broad stats (health, stamina, strength). It’s your choice of Blood Code that truly determines your core attributes, so it’s worth picking one that matches your preferred play style. No point picking the Ranger class if you intend on charging headfirst into battle with a giant Zweihander.
