FromSoftware’s forthcoming Nintendo Switch 2 title The Duskbloods will reveal 14 distinct Bloodsworn classes, each built around unique blood‑derived combat mechanics.
The 14 Bloodsworn classes
- Walter — The Blood‑Eater – Survivor of a fallen clan, Walter’s unnatural olfactory sense lets him sniff out hidden motives, driving his pursuit of the elusive First Blood.
- Gillian — The Guillotine – A rig‑up Malisbell Inquisition executioner who wields a massive iron blade that catalyses his own relentless thirst for the First Blood.
- Veronica — Foul‑Rot – A blind nun whose battle scarred body hosts rapidly multiplying blood cysts, allowing her to unleash devastating rot on any foe.
- Sebastian — Nail‑Pierced – Fanatical saint who forces silver nails into his body to send out flinging veins of blood, temporarily igniting a ferocious burst of power.
- Maurice — Coffin Bearer – In Temrat’s dusk, Maurice slams an iron coffin into enemies, feeding the monstrous life stored within with their own blood.
- Oscar — Thread‑Torn – Former taxidermist who stitches beast flesh onto himself, merging his body with ancient creatures for amplified menace.
- Wulan — Mud‑Treader – Subject to illicit experiments, Wulan’s legs possess superhuman strength; she injects her ankle blood to create a toxic crimson trail.
- Isabelle — Candle‑Snuffer – Former servant turned shadow master, Isabelle conjures darkness that absorbs enemy blood, leaving light ablaze.
- Randolph — Gut‑Rinner – Veteran of the Sampere Corps, Randolph carries a jet‑propelled machine and a gigantic spear, using a blood‑charged abdominal mechanism for crushing blows.
- Yuri — Gazer‑of‑Flesh – A heretic who removed his eyelids yet retains the power to manipulate a target’s blood rhythm, causing explosive ruptures.
- Camilla — Ash‑Crown – Survivor of her clan’s fiery demise, she marries her blood with ashes to petrify enemies, then shatters them with crystalline force.
- Baldur — Rust‑Gospel – Abandoned cleric, Baldur grinds iron fragments in his mouth, praying to fuse them with blood for a devastating strike.
- Elsa — Dusk‑Silt – Stricken by inevitable sickness, Elsa can convert her body into sludge to dodge attacks and laced enemies with poisoned blood.
- Nameless Shadow — First‑Shard – A half‑formed entity linked to the First Blood, it lacks language but can replicate all blood‑art techniques from any living combatant.
Key combat mechanics
Across the roster, the common thread is the exploitation of blood: trackers, mutagens, and beasts all harnessing crimson fluid to trigger unique abilities.
Off‑the‑table questions
It is still unknown if the closed network test will grant access to every class or reveal further nuances behind each Bloodsworn’s backstory.
Conclusion
Players can expect each class to bring unpredictable depth to the Bloodsworn battles as The Duskbloods prepare for its closed network test.
