Once you’ve had a chance to jump into Diablo 4’s Season of the Blood and made some progress with the main quest, you’ll be able to unlock unique Vampiric Powers. It’s its own unique mechanic, limited to the season, just as the Malignant Hearts were in Season of the Malignant. You’ll need a specific combination of Pacts to unlock Vampiric Powers in Diablo 4 during Season of the Blood, so let’s take a look at the choices you have!
All Minor Vampiric Powers in Diablo 4 Season of the Blood
There are currently 15 Minor Vampiric Powers available in Diablo 4’s Season of the Blood. The most notable aspect of these powers are the low Pact requirements, but don’t be fooled into thinking they’re any less valuable. You’ve got some pretty useful Vampiric Powers like Hectic, Anticipation, Resilience, and Undying.

All Major Vampiric Powers in Diablo 4 Season of the Blood
While there are only half as many Major Vampiric Powers—seven, to be exact—they’re among the most useful. Additionally, these powers tend to benefit from Vampiric Curse, a new status effect added to Diablo 4 for Season of the Blood. For example, your DoTs will deal increased damage against targets affected by Vampiric Curse—a useful power for Fire Mages and Necromancers.
| Vampiric Power | Effect | Pact Requirements |
| Accursed Touch | Lucky Hit: Up to a 44% chance to inflict Vampiric Curse on enemies. Enemies with the Vampiric Curse have a 15% chance to spread it to other surrounding enemies. Accursed Souls deal 200% increased damage. | Divinity (x6) |

And that’s the last of the Vampiric Powers introduce in Diablo 4 Season of the Blood, totaling 22 unique effects.
