Albion Bloodmoon Best Build Guide 2025

In the mist‑shrouded isles of Albion, the Bloodmoon Staff resonates with raw primal energy. It is a shapeshifter weapon steeped in legend: a conduit to lupine power, granting resilience and regeneration that echoes the lunar cycle. Players who wield it describe how fights feel less like duels and more like spiritual rituals—where the wolf inside awakens and clawing through mobs becomes a visceral affirmation of self.

This 2025 Albion guide will walk you through the Best Bloodmoon build that dominates solo and group PvP, and PvE content from the Open World mobs to Dungeons.

Abilities & Passive Selection

Your effectiveness hinges on managing your time in human and Werewolf forms. In human form, you build “Shift Charges.” In Werewolf form, you consume them to empower your abilities and wreak havoc .

Human Form

In this form, your goal is to safely build Shift Charges and control the battlefield.

• Q-Slot: Pulse Shock – This is your primary charge-building tool. It’s an instant-cast shockwave that deals damage and, crucially, decreases the enemy’s damage resistance with each hit (stacks up to 3 times). Each enemy hit also grants you a Shift Charge (up to 2 per cast) .
• W-Slot: Positional Drift – This is your key engagement tool. It shoots out tendrils that pull up to 5 enemies toward you and roots them for over 2 seconds. This sets up your transformation perfectly by grouping enemies for your AoE attacks and granting you Shift Charges .
• E-Slot: Werewolf Transformation – Your signature ability. Transforming changes your stats and abilities, giving you very high energy regeneration and turning you into a melee powerhouse. The transformation lasts up to 20 seconds .
• Passive: Altered Beast – The recommended passive. When you transform, you gain a bonus to your maximum and current health for each Shift Charge you have (up to 5 charges). This makes you significantly tankier right as you dive into the fight .

Werewolf Form

Once transformed, your abilities change, and you become a relentless physical damage dealer.

• Q-Slot: Tear Open – Your main damage ability. It’s a cone attack in front of you. If you consume a Shift Charge, it creates a Blood Pool behind the first enemy hit; stepping on it heals you and increases your movement speed. This is your primary source of damage and sustain in fights .
• W-Slot: Rip Through – Your mobility and burst tool. You dash through an enemy, dealing high damage. Most importantly, it consumes 2 Shift Charges to increase your attack damage by 150% for 3 seconds. This is a massive damage buff you should capitalize on .
• Passive: Frenzied Slashes – Your Werewolf passive. Each auto-attack increases your attack speed, allowing you to tear through enemies faster and faster the longer you stay on them

Combat Rotation

Success with the Bloodmoon Staff is about a fluid, well-timed rotation.

The Perfect Engagement Combo:

1. Initiate & Debuff (Human Form): Open with Positional Drift (W) to pull and root your target(s). Follow up immediately with Pulse Shock (Q) to apply a damage resistance debuff and build your first Shift Charges.
2. Transform & Empower: Once you have at least 2-3 Shift Charges, activate Werewolf Transformation (E). You will instantly gain a health bonus from Altered Beast.
3. Execute (Werewolf Form): Use Retaliate from Hunter Hood for reflecting damage and then Rip Through (W) to dash to your primary target. This consumes charges to grant you the 150% damage buff. Immediately follow up with Tear Open (Q) to unleash your empowered cone attacks and create Blood Pool for healing. Use auto-attacks to benefit from the stacking attack speed of Frenzied Slashes.
4. Sustain & Disengage: Create and use Blood Pools from Tear Open and Bloodlust from Mercenary Jacket  for healing. If the fight turns or your transformation is about to end, use Rejuvenating Sprint on your Plate Boots to heal, Reset, and escape.

I hope this detailed, actionable build guide helps you unleash the full potential of the Bloodmoon Staff. The weapon has a steep learning curve, but its power to control and decimate fights is immense once mastered.
