There are 2 types of xp in vampire hunter. The xp you'll acquire during your game, during your hunt, which will enable you to purchase main weapons, relics and secondary weapons. And the xp your character will acquire at the end of the game, which will enable you to obtain skills, active and passive, as well as upgrade parts to unlock permanent upgrades.

I had a lot of fun trying to figure out how xp work.

If you're looking for a basic guide to the game's mechanics, this is the place.

During your hunt, your character will earn xp by collecting souls.



　　　Blue earns 1 　　　　Yellow earns 2 　　　Purple earns 5　　　　　Red earns 10.


Each time you kill a monster, it will have a basic chance of releasing a soul. This chance can be increased, thanks to the “Soul Chance” statistic, before the game (with passive skills), or during the game with relics that will increase your “Soul Chance”.



The color of the soul seems to be linked to different factors: your survival time, the type of enemy. Everything is specific to each map, depending on the wave you're facing.
All of this seems to have been decided beforehand by the developers, so that everything is well-balanced.

+ “strong” monster + souls will pay off

Here's the hunting xp table[docs.google.com]

For the xp you'll earn at the end of your game. It's directly linked to your score at the end of the game. If you have a score of 1,000,000. You'll get 1,000,000 xp. You'll also earn xp if you end the game yourself (escape>main menu). That you die.

We can see that the curve follows a logic, but it's inconstant.

The initial progression from level 1 to 5 is just a doubling of xp.
Then, from level 6 to 54, we're on an average +720.
At level 56-125, it's an average of +25 xp per increment.
And at the end, it looks like it's all done by hand.

A score of 23,485,692 would be required to xp from level 1 to 150.

Now that we know that score = XP, let's look at the actions that give score.
Here is a list of actions that may or may not influence the score


Fact: Bat pilots are considered to have been killed when they explode. They therefore have a chance to give a soul.

Thank you.

Thank you for reading this guide. It has been translated with DeepL. I apologize if there are big grammatical errors, (I don't speak English well, and I need support.)

If you have any other comments, things to say, or techniques for xp until I get the other guide out, don't hesitate.

I'm still working on a few things to flesh out this guide, including proofs of what I'm saying in the "What influences the score?" section.
