Character & Stats

Stats Overview

Your character has 6 core stats. Each stat point is earned by leveling up (3 points per level) and can be freely allocated. You can respec once every 7 days for free, then it costs 200 gems.

STR

Strength

Multiplies your weapon's ATK value to determine raw damage. The primary offensive stat for most builds.

damage = STR × weapon_ATK − DEF

DEX

Dexterity

Increases dodge chance and is the primary scaling stat for Vampire offensive skills.

dodge = 2% + (DEX × 0.25%)

DEF

Defense

Flat reduction to all incoming damage each round. Stacks with armor equipment DEF values.

effective_dmg = max(1, raw − DEF)

HP

Hit Points

Your total health pool. When it reaches 0 you lose the fight. HP does not regenerate automatically — only via skills, potions, and lifesteal.

max_HP = base_HP + (HP_stat × 10) + gear_HP

LCK

Luck

Increases critical hit chance. Also affects drop rates for rare items and gold loot from enemies.

crit = 3% + (LCK × 0.3%)

INT

Intelligence

Reduces skill cooldowns and increases the effectiveness of buff/debuff skills. Future magic system stat.

skill_cd reduction = INT × 0.5%

Stat Details

STR — Strength

STR is the primary damage stat. Because it multiplies weapon ATK rather than adding to it, the damage scaling is exponential as you upgrade both. At low levels, raising STR is efficient. At high levels, upgrading your weapon gives more damage per point invested.

Every +1 STR adds weapon_ATK damage (e.g. +8 damage with a 8 ATK weapon)
Werewolves start with +3 STR over Vampires
STR has no cap — keeps scaling linearly into Prestige

DEX — Dexterity

DEX serves a dual role: survivability (dodge) and Vampire damage (skill scaling). Werewolf offensive skills scale off STR, not DEX — meaning DEX is less valuable for Werewolf offensive builds.

Vampires start with +5 DEX over Werewolves
Dodge cap: 35% — reached at ~132 DEX (with no gear bonuses)
Useful in PvP where a single dodge can win the fight

DEF — Defense

DEF reduces every incoming hit by a flat amount. It's additive with gear DEF values. While powerful at low levels where enemy damage is low, DEF has diminishing returns as enemies scale their damage into the hundreds.

DEF from stats stacks with DEF from armor, rings, and amulets
Werewolves start with +4 DEF over Vampires
No DEF cap — but enemies scale proportionally in higher dungeons

HP — Hit Points

Each point allocated to HP gives +10 to your maximum health pool. This is the most reliable survivability stat — it gives you a larger buffer regardless of what type of attack hits you (including DOTs that bypass DEF).

Starting HP: Vampires 800, Werewolves 1,000 (base pools at Level 1)
HP does NOT regenerate between fights unless you use a potion or have Regen
HP fully resets when you enter a new dungeon attempt

LCK — Luck

LCK is an offensive stat disguised as a "luck" stat. High LCK builds can reach near-cap crit chance, which dramatically increases average damage output. It also slightly improves item and gold drop rates from monsters.

Critical hit cap: 45% — reached at ~140 LCK (no gear)
Drop rate bonus: approximately +0.1% per LCK point
Equal starting LCK for both races (LCK = 0 base)

INT — Intelligence

Currently, INT primarily reduces skill cooldown durations and improves buff/debuff effectiveness. It is most valuable in skill-heavy builds that rotate through multiple active skills each fight. A future update is planned to add a spell-based combat system that will make INT a primary damage stat.

−0.5% skill cooldown per INT point (min cooldown: 1 round)
Buff duration from INT: +1 round per 30 INT points
Generally low priority unless you rely on a buff skill with a long cooldown

Race Bonuses

Your race is permanent (cannot be changed after character creation) and provides base stat bonuses that are applied before any allocation. These bonuses also scale with Prestige.

🏹 Vampire

+5 DEX (dodge & skill scaling)
+80 base HP
Skill tree: V1–V50 (DEX-scaling)
Faction: Night Court
Eclipse War bonus: +10% gold while winning
Passive: Shadow Step — 8% dodge vs first hit in any fight

🐺 Werewolf

+3 STR (raw damage)
+4 DEF (flat damage reduction)
+100 base HP (larger pool)
Skill tree: W1–W50 (STR-scaling)
Faction: Iron Pack
Eclipse War bonus: +15% XP from kills
Passive: Iron Fur — +8 DEF vs first hit in any fight

Race Comparison Summary

Stat	Vampire Base	Werewolf Base	Who Benefits
HP Pool	800	1,000	Werewolf (tanking)
STR	12	15	Werewolf (PvE damage)
DEX	15	10	Vampire (dodge/skills)
DEF	10	14	Werewolf (survival)
LCK	0	0	Equal
INT	0	0	Equal

WHICH RACE TO CHOOSE?

Werewolves are easier to play — more HP and DEF means more forgiving of mistakes. Vampires have a higher skill ceiling — good dodge and crit stacking can make you nearly untouchable in PvP. Both are viable at endgame. See the Vampire vs Werewolf 2026 guide for a detailed breakdown.

Stat Allocation

Each level grants 3 stat points to distribute freely. Points are allocated from the Character page. You gain a bonus +5 points at milestone levels (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80).

TOTAL STAT POINTS (at level N)

total_points = (N × 3) + (milestones_reached × 5)

At Level 80 (max): 240 base + 40 milestone = 280 total stat points.

Recommended Allocation by Build

Build Type	Race	Primary Allocation	Secondary
Glass Cannon	Vampire	STR 40%, DEX 40%	LCK 20%
Crit Machine	Either	LCK 50%, STR 30%	DEX 20%
Tank	Werewolf	HP 40%, DEF 40%	STR 20%
Dodge Build	Vampire	DEX 50%, HP 30%	STR 20%
Balanced	Either	STR 30%, DEF 25%	HP 25%, DEX 20%
Skill Rotator	Either	INT 35%, STR 35%	HP 30%

Respec Rules

Free respec: Once every 7 days, available from Character → Respec tab
Paid respec: 200 gems (no cooldown)
Respec resets all allocated stat points to 0 — you re-spend from scratch
Race bonuses are never removed by respec

Leveling & XP

The maximum level in VvW is 80. After Level 80, you unlock Prestige instead of gaining more levels. XP is earned from defeating enemies, completing dungeons, daily quests, and events.

XP Requirements by Tier

Level Range	XP Per Level	Best XP Sources
1–20	500–3,000	Tutorial quests, Zone 1–3 monsters
21–40	4,000–12,000	Zone 3–5, Dungeon 1–4 clears
41–60	15,000–40,000	Zone 5–7, Dungeon 5–7, Daily quests
61–75	50,000–90,000	Zone 7–9, Dungeon 8–10, Eclipse War
76–80	100,000–140,000	Mythic+ dungeons, faction events, weekly bosses

XP Bonuses

Daily XP Boost — first 3 monster kills each day give +50% XP
Dungeon First Clear — first-time clear of each dungeon: +200% XP
Clan XP Aura — active when in a clan with 5+ members: +10% XP
Premium XP Boost — active with any gem pack: +25% XP (stacks)
Battle Pass XP Boost — Premium tier: +15% XP

FASTEST LEVELING PATH

Do all daily quests every day (they give large XP chunks). Clear each dungeon for the first-clear bonus. Join a clan for the passive +10% XP aura. Don't ignore the tutorial chain — it gives disproportionately large XP for very easy tasks. See the 5 Fastest Leveling Methods guide for a full speed-run strategy.

Work System

Working is a passive income action. You send your character to work for a set duration and collect gold when it completes. It does not require your active involvement and runs even while you're offline.

Work Tiers

Work Type	Duration	Gold Earned	Level Required
Scavenging	30 min	20–40 gold	1
Patrol	1 hour	60–90 gold	10
Bounty Hunting	2 hours	150–200 gold	20
Mercenary Contract	4 hours	350–450 gold	35
Shadow Operations	8 hours	800–1,000 gold	50
Elite Assignment	12 hours	1,400–1,800 gold	65

TIP

Chain 8-hour or 12-hour work shifts overnight to maximize passive gold. The Elite Assignment unlocked at Level 65 is the most efficient gold-per-hour source outside of dungeons.

Work Rules

You cannot fight or enter dungeons while working — work must be cancelled or completed first
Cancelling work early returns a pro-rated amount (not full)
Work gold is affected by the clan gold bonus (if applicable)
You can queue only 1 work assignment at a time

Name & Appearance

Your character name is visible to all players in the arena, clans, leaderboards, and global chat.

Name Change Rules

First name change: Free (once every 30 days)
Subsequent changes within 30 days: 500 gems each
Names must be 3–20 characters: letters, numbers, underscores only
Offensive or impersonating names will be force-reset by moderation

Title System

Titles are earned through achievements, PvP milestones, and events. They appear below your character name in combat logs and the arena. You can equip one active title at a time from Character → Titles.

Example titles: Shadow Walker, Dungeon Breaker, Grand Legend, Eclipse Champion
Rare titles (e.g., Founder) are permanently linked to early accounts
