Diablo Immortal Blood Knight Guide | Everything About Feared Class
What is the Blood Knight Class?
The Blood Knight is the newest addition to Diablo’s nostalgic player classes in 10 years. Hitting the streets of Sanctuary in Diablo Immortal, The Blood Knight roams the world in search of darkness to rid and punish. If beings fear the dark, the dark fears the Blood Knight. Being a hybrid of close combat and long ranged.
Human Form
Blood Knights were of course once human. After becoming a Blood Knight, what humanity do you have left? Is it the humanity you once had or the drop of humanity you have to push back this beast and keep it dormant within your soul? Is it even worth it?
Sporting a blood-red and armored attire, the Blood Knight has white hair, black veins around the eyes, and not to mention their dead pupils bearing the color of blood. They constantly prey and do rituals to ensure the safety of the innocent if one was to come out of control using the little trinket they hold dear. The last memory of their humanity, sealed in the object as they now hold the weight of the dark festering from within.
Become a Blood Knight and fight the demon inside you for the rest of your never-ending life.
The Abomination
The Abomination of the Blood Knight is a demonic-looking creature that thirsts for blood and destruction. Bearing hellishly chaotic armor, sharp teeth, blood-red eyes, and black eyes, as well as an intimidating figure, this monster stands above anything else in Sanctuary. Haunting anything it lays its eyes on. It may go after the dark but really…is anyone safe from this unholy being?
True Power
The Blood Knight’s true power is that of horrific origin. A hybrid of darkness and hell alike. Among its skills and abilities are unique and powerful, this monstrous being possesses a face that one could never forget. A face they would see for the last time.

How one becomes a Blood Knight
One becomes a blood knight through a ritual that bonds the Abomination to one’s soul. Blood Knights share a similar story to Vampires and Thrawls but the Blood Knight is a being with destructive darkness that wants to devour and wreck everything in its path. Something that lies dormant and something that the Blood Knight is constantly fighting to keep it that way.
“Humans are right to fear the darkness…but the darkness fears me.”
-The Blood Knight upon the announcement of the new class.
Ties with the Vampiric
Blood Knights and Vampires have very close stories but very massive differences. While vampires spread their disease- like plague of a kind, Blood Knights are created through a horrid ritual that anchors a dark entity within a being.
However, both also share the hunger and thirst for blood. Blood Knights constantly pray to their trinket which helps them keep that darkness at bay while Vampires constantly kill and spread their virus. In terms of combat, the Blood Knight is naturally destructive but should only be released from one’s soul if the situation calls for it. Perhaps a Blood Knight against a violence-hungry Vampire.
While the Vampiric beings hunt man, the Blood Knight hunts anyone and anything in its path. This is also part of the reason why Blood Knights have to constantly be at war with themselves to keep the abomination away from the innocent and unleash it upon the darkness.
These two types of beings have a lot of things in common but, the only difference is, that one of them is prey, and the other…the predator.
