The Vampire and Ghoul Update (Halloween Part 1) brings one of the most content-dense patches Sakura Stand has released in months. This update blends new specs, titles, bosses, currencies, and Halloween-themed progression systems into a single event. This Sakura Stand Halloween Part 1 Update breaks everything down in a clear, structured way so you can understand what’s new, how to get it, and what’s worth your time.
New Specs – Kaneki Ken & Dracula
This update introduces two major specs alongside a rerun fan-favorite.
Kaneki Ken
A ghoul-themed spec with a dedicated command:
!togglehands – Switches between hand states for Kaneki’s model and animations.
Expect strong hybrid damage, mobility options, and high thematic flair.
Dracula
A vampire-style spec leaning into lifesteal, aggressive burst windows, and blood-based effects. Ideal for frontline brawlers who trade hits and immediately heal back.
Returning Spec: Alucard
This rerun brings back one of the most requested specs. If you missed him the first time, now is your chance.
New Titles
Four new titles arrive as progression rewards tied to the Halloween content:
- The Bird of Hermes
- Ultimate Undead
- The Impaling Prince
- One Eyed King
These titles are tied to the new systems and boss drops, giving players new prestige goals to grind toward.
New Skins
Two cosmetic skins have been added:
- MKVOL | Mimicry
- Ronin | Crimson Eclipse
These are premium-tier visual upgrades for players who want a more polished aesthetic during Halloween.
New Bosses
The update features three major additions to the boss roster:
King Mon
A Halloween-themed boss with new unique item drops.
Lord of Eternal Darkness
A high-damage, high-HP enemy designed for coordinated or end-game players. Expect strong patterns and heavy-hitting attacks.
King of BBQ3
A comedic but powerful event boss tied to the new BBQ-themed drops.
Each boss contributes to the item economy, Bloodstones, and crafting materials.
New Items
Several new thematic items have been added:
- Ultra Premium BBQ Meat
- Souls
- Rusted Sword
- Holy Nail of Helena
These items feed into crafting trees, trading value, and new event systems. Souls and Holy Nail of Helena in particular tie directly into vampire and ghoul-themed mechanics.
New Currency – Bloodstone
Bloodstone is a completely new currency that reshapes how you interact with event items.
How to earn Bloodstones:
You receive Bloodstones by selling items to Sion, the new NPC added this update.
This introduces a new farming loop where item drops can become a currency source instead of clogging inventory space.
New Area – Underfate
Underfate arrives as a new location tied to the update’s progression. Expect:
- Event-related NPCs
- Bosses
- Ghoul and vampire lore elements
- Item drop zones
The area acts as the central hub for most Halloween Part 1 activities.
New NPCs
A wave of fresh NPCs helps push the story and the event mechanics:
- Sion – Handles item selling for Bloodstones
- Your Best Friend – Event lore interaction
- Rize – Ghoul-related progression NPC
- Father Anderson – Tied to holy and vampire content
These NPCs form the backbone of the update’s currency and reward structure.
Buff – Midknight Vessel of Life
The Midknight Vessel of Life has been buffed across the board.
Expect noticeable improvements to:
- Healing throughput
- Survivability
- Overall utility
The spec becomes more viable in both PvE and PvP as a result.
New Commands
A special command was added just for Kaneki users:
- !togglehands – Adjusts Kaneki’s hand-based cosmetics and animations
Update Codes
You can redeem the following new codes for rewards:
- RestHasntRested
- A Bit Late Arent We?
- HappyThanksgiving!
Redeem them early before they expire.
Other Changes
A few smaller but important updates:
- Hina Banner removed
- Hina is now tradable at Mastery 10+
- Cosmetics can now be toggled in the settings tab
These changes improve inventory control and allow players to buy/sell older units more freely.
The Vampire and Ghoul Update offers a healthy mix of new specs, bosses, currencies, and event zones. Whether you’re grinding for Bloodstones, hunting limited items, or pursuing the new titles, there’s plenty to do. With Halloween Part 2 likely on the horizon, this patch serves as the foundation of a much larger event cycle.
