VAMPIR/Classes
Melee classAkasha overview
Akasha is VAMPIR's newest class, a melee stalker that fights at 2.5 m with tonfas and carries the client's Pursuit tag. It joined the game in March 2026 and is built to chase. Blood Rush is a 6.5 m dash with three charges, which lets Akasha decide when a fight starts and leave when it turns. Prey Hunting marks a target from 9 m and teleports onto it for 580%, and Absolute Liberation removes every debuff and can be cast while stunned, knocked down or launched, which is why Akasha wins so many duels. Full Strength adds 12% damage while Akasha is at 80% HP or more and 15% when it drops to 30% or less.
It leads the PvP list, S in duels and in 5v5 Arena, and drops a step only in the biggest clan wars. In PvE it is A: a geared Akasha hunts fast thanks to Crimson Frenzy's attack speed, but it needs that gear first, and on Naricanje Valley's season floor 30 it sits below average. Pick Akasha if PvP is why you play or you plan to spend. As a free first character, Bloodstained or Viper gets further early.
How to play Akasha in PvE
Akasha's hunting rests on its basic attacks. Crimson Frenzy is the skill to keep up: it adds 15% attack speed, 1.5 m of basic-attack range and two more basic-attack targets for 30 seconds, and Chain Slash is the safe way into a pack, hitting up to 5 targets six times while giving Akasha 70% damage resistance for 3 seconds. Carnivorous Instinct heals 50% of attack on each of the next two skill hits, which tops it up between packs.
That kit needs investment to work. A well-geared Akasha farms very well, but below that point Viper clears faster and more safely, and a new free player feels the gap most. Full Strength pushes the same way: its 12% bonus needs Akasha at 80% HP or more, so it pays best when the gear lets it stay there.
On bosses it splits. Moment of Destruction hits for 900% with 8 seconds of Undying and Prey Hunting's recast lands 580%, which is good damage on most bosses, and Undying makes the big hit a safe one to take inside the boss's reach. On Naricanje Valley's season floor 30, where the boss keeps up the pressure, it falls behind: below the middle of the five, and weaker there than Grim Reaper or Viper.
How to play Akasha in PvP
Akasha is the class to beat in a duel. Three Blood Rush charges let it open from 6.5 m, chase a target that runs and leave when the fight turns, and Prey Hunting's 70% slow and teleport catch anyone who gets away. The deciding skill is Absolute Liberation: it clears every debuff, gives 8 seconds of status immunity and works while stunned, so the crowd control most duels hinge on does not hold it.
At equal power it is also the strongest class in 5v5 Arena, and every team wants one. Dominator and Prey Hunting can both cut the target's PvP damage resistance, by 10% and 20%, and Absorbing Touch steals part of the target's attack. In big clan wars it is still strong, especially in point-capture fights, but area damage from Viper and Carnage decides more of those, and Akasha drops a step there.

Power spike
It deals 900% to up to 5 targets in a 5 m area and grants 8 seconds of Undying: no damage taken below 20% HP, then a 10% heal when it ends. Undying makes diving into a group safe, and that dive is how a duel class becomes useful in a clan fight.

Akasha weapons
Akasha has six pairs of tonfas. Four climb the PvE line, each adding melee attack and critical damage. The Prophet pair trades critical damage for PvP attack and PvP damage amplification. A combat preset swaps weapons in one tap, so if you play both modes, keep one of each line.

|---|---|---|---|
| Flash of Judgment Tonfa | Heroic T1 | PvE | Melee attack 42, weapon attack 95-357, critical damage 27 |

Changing to Akasha
A Mythic Bloodshape alone takes 1,200 Class Change Proofs to convert, so count what you own before the window opens. Usurper pieces, Akasha's own Legendary line, come across without it.
- Opens only in announced windows. Needs character level 60 and 2,000 Diamonds (Farming Diamonds count).
- Level, EXP, quests and items carry over. Weapons of any class become Akasha tonfas at the same grade, enhancement, refinement and Blessing.
- Only the old class's own Bloodshapes convert, grade for grade, and never into one you already own. Skill cards keep the highest grade of each. Quick slots and skill settings reset.
| Converting | Class Change Proofs |
|---|---|
| Mythic Bloodshape | 1,200 (one at most) |
| Legendary Bloodshape | 100 |
| Heroic Bloodshape | free |
| Legendary weapon | 250 (three at most) |
| Heroic weapon | 25 |
| Rare weapon | free |
| Heroic skill | 12 |
| Rare or lower skill | free |
Akasha compared with the other classes
Grim ReaperIts equal in a duel. Grim Reaper finishes low-HP targets harder and teleports in with Shadow Infiltration, but has no cleanse and falls further in group fights.
BloodstainedThe safe melee class. Hunts unattended far better; Akasha beats its pull-and-outlast plan one on one.
ViperBetter for a free player's first months and for clan wars. Akasha wins the duel between them.
CarnageNeeds distance, and Akasha's dashes take it away. Carnage still does more from the back line of a big fight.
