| == Special Ability: Life Drain ==
| |
| Vampire Lords' life drain special ability occurs after the stack has attacked and before the target stack has a chance to [[retaliation|retaliate]]. It raises killed Vampire Lords from the dead for the same amount of [[health]] points as the stack inflicted damage, and the top unit is healed with the remainder. The ability functions in a similar way to [[Animate Dead]] spell (or [[Resurrection]]). However, no more than the amount of total health points of the target stack can be drained. As the ability name suggests, target attacked creature stack must be considered to be alive. This means that the ability does not work on [[non-living]] creatures, since [[Undead]], [[Elemental]]s and [[Golem]]s have no life to be drained.
| |
| | |
| If Vampire Lords attack [[Efreeti and Efreet Sultan|Efreet Sultans]], Fire Shield works ''after'' life drain, being able to kill Vampire Lords who have already risen from the dead.

| {{user commentary|
| |
| The Vampire Lords' good speed and special abilities make them cornerstones of a Necropolis army. It is recommended to upgrade Vampires as soon as possible so as to make use of their life drain special ability. In large numbers, Vampire Lords can be difficult to deal with, unless the opposing army consists largely of [[undead]] or [[elemental]]s, or has way higher stats and/or numbers. A very effective tactic is to cast the spell [[Counterstrike]] on Vampire Lords, allowing them to retaliate against every attack, constantly resurrecting themselves in the process.
| |
| | |
| Also, it is recommended to "feed" on weaker stacks, when numbers are low.
