What are gifts in Code Vein? Well, you can consider them comparable to Skills and Magic.   By using these gifts players can perform various unique actions such as healing and apply buffs. These effects, abilities, and buffs can be applied to companions as well as yourself. You can also use Code Vein Gifts to debuff enemies or deal direct damage.

Code Vein Gifts – Active  and Passive

There are two types of gifts in  Code Vein and gifts require Ichor. In our Code Vein Gifts guide we will explain how to unlock gifts, what are active and passive gifts, and their effects.

How to Unlock  Gifts?

All gifts are divided into many Blood Codes. Unlock Blood Codes to access gifts. You can use Vestiges to further restore codes that then let you unlock gifts for that code. Meanwhile, the gifts upgrade increases the potentness of gifts but at the expense of weapon scaling.
