What Is The Best Clan in VTMB2 Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2
There are six clans to choose from including: Brujah, Banu Haqim, Lasombra, Tremere, Toreador, and Ventrue.
VTMB 2 Brujah
Mastery Rating: Normal
Clan Affinities: Celerity, Prescence, and Potence
Hells Angels + Vampire Clan = The Brujah clan. They are a brawling group who speak with their fists and not their words so if you’re looking for brute force, this is the clan for you. Those who enjoy melee combat focused characters will benefit the most from the Brujah clan.
The clan contact is Silky, the owner of the Dutchman. Find him on the second level.
| Abilities | Description |
| Passive: Brutality | Once you feed, your melee attack is increased… temporarily, of course. |
| Taunt | Try to get an enemy to come at you and if it works, they their weapon and experienced increased damage. |
| Lightning Strike | Send a flurry of punches at multiple enemies at once. |
| Charge | You run forward and grab the enemy in your path. But that’s not all! They become a battering ram, knocking down anyone who dares not step out of the way. |
| Earthshock | Slam the ground and your enemies will go flying… literally! |
| (Perk) Spark of Rage | Even if you kill enemies without feeding, the passive ability gets activated. |
VTMB 2 Tremere Clan
Mastery Rating: Normal
Clan Affinities: Dominate and Blood Sorcery
Do you like magic? Well, the Tremere come from mages and managed to become vampires through some dubious means. Think if Merlin and Dracula were the same person. What does that give you? The Tremere clan! Blood sorcery is their bread and butter with their strength falling in ranged attacks rather than hand to hand combat. So long range damage is the ideal preference here
The clan contract is Mrs. Thorn, owner of Wake the Dead. It’s a coffee shop near Aurora Pawn.
| Abilities | Description |
| Passive: Corrosive Touch | Once you feed on someone, the bodies dissolve. |
| Blood Curse | A curse is placed on the enemy causing them to explode the next time they are hit. |

| Caudron of Blood | You can literally boil a person’s blood from the inside. |
| Blood Salvo | Create some blood daggers and throw them at the enemy. |
| Perk: Blood of Potence | After feeding, you have a chance to get twice the amount of blood used from a previous ability. |
Banu Haquim Clan In VTMB 2
Mastery Rating: Hard
Clan Affinities: Celerity, Blood Sorcery, Obfuscate
The Banu Haqim are an interesting bunch. This clan are considered to be very mysterious which is why the label of assassin fits them very well. It’s like if Assassin’s Creed were full of vampires. So melee combat and stealth is the ideal preference here.
The clan contact is Niko who is at Aurora Pawn behind the counter.
| Abilities | Description |
| Passive: Silence of Death | Once you feed, you become silent. |
| Mute | The person your facing will be able to make noise. |
| Split Second | Stop time around you for a bit. |

| Bladed Hand | A slash will appear, beheading mortal enemies. |
| Perk: Unseen Passage | You can sprint when your crouched. |
VTMB 2 Clans – Ventrue

The Ventrue vampires are high class and probably get accused of being snobs on a daily basis. Many of their moves involve some type of mind control, showing how willing they are to manipulate others.
The clan contact for the Ventrue is Fletcher who can be found at Makom at the piano.
| Abilities | Description |
| Passive: Flesh of Marble | Once you feed, your less vulnerable to damage. |
| Cloud of Memory | The enemy will forget all about you. |
| Possession | This lets you see what the enemy sees, and the best part is you can control them afterwards. |
| Terminal Decree | Make a moral kill themselves. |
| Mass Manipulation | Subdue enemies nearby. They won’t be able to attack. |
| Perk: Resilience | A simple but effective ability where your health is increased by feeding. |
VTMB 2 Clans – Toreador
Mastery Rating: Normal
Clan Affinities: Celerity and Presence
When you think of modern vampires from popular media then they would probably belong to Toreador. They don’t shy away from the public, almost acting as the celebrities of the vampire world. Their moves are sort of all over the place, relying on hypnotizing and stealth.
The clan contact is Patience who can be found in the back room of Aurora Pawn.
| Abilities | Description |
| Passive: Cat’s Grace | Once you feed, you become like the Flash. Sort of. |

| Blurred Momentum | This ability makes you fast enough to avoid taking hits. |
| Perk: Fleetness | The ability to relocate will slowly recharge. |
VTMB 2 Clans – Lasombra
Mastery Rating: Hard
Clan Affinities: Dominate, Potence, and Oblivion
The Lasombra are similar to the Banu Haqim, they both use an assassin style combat approach to neutralize their targets. They also, both, require Hard difficulty Mastery
