The elusive sequel to the legendary Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines is real, but it's a very different beast from its predecessor. Players don't have the same clan roster to pick from, and there are many important differences even among the returning clans they can choose from.
Whereas the original Bloodlines had a diverse focus on action and character interaction, Bloodlines 2 puts a bigger focus on combat, meaning clans originally stronger in character interaction attributes might have gotten the short end of the stake, gameplay experience-wise. Let's find out what the most powerful clan to play as in Bloodlines 2 is, shall we?

The most powerful clan in Bloodlines 2
In the world of Vampire, the clan of one's choice works as their character class. This is the most important choice players will make in this choice-heavy game, so it's important not to mess it up. The good news is none of the available classes are hard to play, like the Nosferatu from the original Bloodlines, which forced players to treat the entirety of the original as a stealth game on top of everything else. Still, if players want true power, their clan of choice should be the Tremere.
Tremere players will not need lightning-fast reflexes to finish off their opponents, as they'll have incredibly powerful magical abilities that will do it for them. The Tremere will cast powerful hexes upon their enemies that'll always cause them to explode in a pool of blood, regardless of how powerful and resilient they might seem at first. So, if you trying to translate the language of Vampire into that of a more traditional RPG, the Tremere is the overpowered mage.
Tremere's abilities in Bloodlines 2
- Blood Salvo: allows you to throw magical projectiles at enemies.
- Cauldron Of Blood: causes the enemy to suffer a tremendous amount of pain that'll have them screaming and drawing the attention of other enemies.
- Recall: allows players to mark their position, then teleport back to it at will, obliterating all enemies who are in the marked spot at the time of teleportation.
- Blood Curse: The Tremere's best weapon, which curses the enemy to explode the next time they take any sort of damage.
When combined, these abilities allow anyone using the Tremere to enjoy a very safe type of ranged combat that will also have them experience the true power of a vampire.
