Overview[1]
Sanguine Art is a dark and vampiric-based fighting style that is obtainable in the Third Sea. The style focuses on using 'dark' styled leech based attacks (similar to Ghoul and Shadow), dealing high damage, with a lot of utility and auto-aim. Sanguine Art's life leech, decently easy-to-hit moves, and very high combo potential make it one of the best fighting styles for general use, with its main rivals being Godhuman and Electric Claw.

Patch history
The first part of the name "Sanguine Art" derives from the Latin word "Sanguis", meaning "blood", and in literary and heraldic usage denotes "blood-red", reflecting the style's aesthetic. Sanguine Art is the only fighting style to have a life-stealing move. ([Z] move - Bloodbane Drain) Likewise, the bats can damage large objects (Such as Sea Beasts), but it does not restore the user's health or grab. In simple words, the life leech ability simply doesn't work on them. Additionally, this move features aim assist that enables the user to grab enemies within the attack path directly ahead, provided they are at a close enough distance. This effectively extends the range for grabbing enemies to approximately 1.6 times farther along the straight line in front of the move. The [C] move is a multi-target AoE move, meaning it can grab multiple targets at the same time if directly used. Even if it misses, it can still track multiple enemies. Sanguine Art and Water Kung Fu possess the fastest M1 attack speed among all fighting styles. Sanguine Art has the highest [C] move damage of any fighting style in the game. The player is not required to have mastery on any other fighting style to learn Sanguine Art. It is possible to learn even if the user is still using Combat. Haunted Crew Member, Red Commander, and Ghost's move [V] Ghost Busters NPCs (Ghost NPCs only when the user has Sanguine Art equipped) are the only NPCs/enemies in the game that uses this fighting style.
