Vampire (monster)

From Ashenzari's Archive
Revision as of 03:37, 19 March 2013 by imported>Ion frigate (→History)
A human cursed with vampirism, drifting in a state between life and undeath, perpetually hungry for the blood of the living. It has power over beasts and the minds of lesser men, and can appear in the form of a bat.

Useful Info

Vampires are undead opponents who focus on nefarious, backhanded attacks to defeat their enemies. If kept alive for too long, they'll flood you with summoned vermin (from the benign bat to the dreaded orange rat) and sneak attack you while invisible. They are uncommonly found in the middle floors of the Dungeon, and are a common sight in the Crypt along with their more advanced brethren.

Spells

Spell set
Slot1 Vampire Summon
Slot2 Confuse
Slot3 Invisibility

Slot5 Vampire Summon

Tips & Tricks

  • They aren't very difficult, considering where you meet them. Whack them with a holy weapon or tear them apart with Dispel Undead.
  • Don't allow their orange rats to have too many opportunities to chew on you. Nobody likes draining attacks.

History

In 0.12 their Vampire Summon spell will be removed, and replaced with a monster version of Vampiric Draining, making them less annoying in general but more dangerous in melee.
