Swipe at enemies in a cone ahead of you, dealing spirit damage. If the enemy is in close range, deal bonus melee damage.
Send out a mark that bleeds the first target it hits, dealing spirit damage over time. While the enemy is bleeding you can re-activate Stalker's Mark to instantly appear behind their back.
Active: Accentuate your senses, revealing a trail that leads to nearby heroes. Isolated heroes leave a trail as they move, and emit their heartbeat from afar. You deal amplified damage against isolated heroes, and when isolated heroes die nearby you gain permanent weapon damage.
Surround nearby enemy heroes in darkness, severely limiting their vision of other units. Affected enemies are briefly revealed to you and are considered isolated for the duration. You gain bonus sprint speed.
Names, descriptions, values and upgrades are the game’s own text and numbers at level 1, before items and spirit scaling. Some descriptions show the damage type without the number, as in game; the value is in the table under each ability. Data

Lore
An ancient vampire roaming across America, the nameless monstrosity known as The Drifter has been preying on the living for generations. Unlike most vampires, Drifter doesn’t value finery or titles and has naked contempt for vampiric laws and tradition. This refusal to toe the line has made him a marked man all over the North American Baronies; but while Viscounts and Elders cry for his execution, Drifter continues to do what he pleases...
