Early Bloodlines 2 Guides Elevate Tremere as Top Starting Clan
Players lock in one of six clans after the tutorial, keeping that clan’s passive for the entire run even as other clans’ abilities can be learned later.
Overview
- Destructoid’s new guide argues Tremere is the strongest opener, highlighting powerful blood‑magic tools like Blood Curse, Recall, Cauldron of Blood, and Blood Salvo for safe ranged dominance.
- An earlier Destructoid tier list places Brujah and Tremere in S‑tier, with Ventrue in B‑tier as the easiest to use but less exciting over time.
- FandomWire explains all six clans and recommends Brujah, Banu Haqim, or Toreador for first‑time players due to useful passives and approachable kits.
- Clan identity shapes a full playthrough, affecting combat style and interactions, and only the chosen clan’s passive remains fixed even when cross‑clan abilities are unlocked.
- Playstyle contrasts are clear: Brujah favor melee brawling, Tremere excel at ranged blood magic, Banu Haqim focus on stealth, Toreador lean into charm and mobility, Lasombra wield shadows, and Ventrue emphasize control and resilience.
