Crimson Rush
Crimson Rush is a Vampirism power that makes your active abilities hit harder the healthier you are. It is open from the start, so you only need Corruption and skill points to learn it.

- Abilities
Good to know
- Unlike several vampire powers, it does not need any vampire's blood to unlock.
- You learn it at a road shrine with skill points once your Corruption is high enough.
- The bonus rewards staying at high health, so it pairs well with blocking and healing tools.
- Some vampires have it naturally.
How to unlock it
Rest at a road shrine and buy it from the Vampirism tree. It needs skill points and enough Corruption, but no blood phial.
Is it worth it
It pays off if you fight carefully and keep your health topped up. If you trade hits a lot, the bonus will rarely be at full strength.
Works well with
Scarlet Shield heals you after perfect blocks, which helps keep your health high enough for Crimson Rush to matter.
