Bloodbath is a high-risk sword-damage ramp: keep hitting without taking damage. Euphoria converts Toxicity into a stable damage bonus. The strongest build depends on how you play.

Quick Answer

Bloodbath increases Attack Power by 5% per qualifying melee hit, up to 250%, but losing the stack after taking damage is the risk. Euphoria scales its sword-and-Sign bonus with Toxicity; check your installed version’s tooltip for the coefficient and cap. Use the tool to compare bonuses under your chosen inputs.

Euphoria values have changed or been described differently between versions and mods. The tool is explicitly configurable; 195% is not an assumed unconditional base-game value.

Easy steps you can follow

01

Choose your realistic combat style

If you often take hits, Euphoria may be steadier; if you avoid damage well, Bloodbath offers a growing bonus.

02

Enter your expected consecutive hit count

Use the simulator to see the Bloodbath bonus from five, ten, twenty and fifty uninterrupted hits.

03

Check your actual Toxicity and Euphoria coefficient

Use the character tooltip from your installed version rather than importing an old build guide’s number.

04

Combine with defensive skills sensibly

Quen and Protection can help, but taking damage still risks resetting Bloodbath in supported versions.

05

Test both against the same target type

Compare actual time-to-defeat and survivability, rather than extrapolating only from the displayed percentage.

Last check before you go

Compare the result against your actual in-game tooltip, quest state or character screen. A mod, a difficulty setting or another game version may change the values shown in older guides. Save your progress before experimenting.

Frequently asked questions

How does Bloodbath stack?

By 5% Attack Power per qualifying melee hit up to 250%, with a reset after taking damage.

Is Euphoria always 195%?

No. That value assumes a particular coefficient and toxicity level and can differ by version.

Does Protection guarantee permanent Bloodbath stacks?

No. Quen can protect you, but a defensive effect is not absolute immunity.
