What is a blood knight?
In the tradition of Diablo, vampires bite humans, turning them into dangerous, mindless slaves. However, blood knights are humans who have been bitten by vampires but escape that fate by using a magical artifact that keeps them connected to their humanity. However, all blood knights eventually become thralls. Before that happens, they work together to track down and kill vampires and offer others who have been bitten a choice: join the Blood Knights or die. As you might expect, they can use their vampiric powers to aid them in battle.
Blizzard says so on July 13th Diablo Immortal Players have three options to play as a new class. Option 1: You can create a new character and select “Blood Knight” as their class. Option 2: Players can use Diablo ImmortalClass change feature to transfer your character to the new class.
