Special Ability: Life Drain[edit | hide]
Vampire Lords' life drain special ability occurs after the stack has attacked and before the target stack has a chance to 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, Elementals and Golems have no life to be drained.
If Vampire Lords attack Efreet Sultans, Fire Shield works after life drain, being able to kill Vampire Lords who have already risen from the dead.
Creatures immune to life drain:
Elementals:
Air and Storm Elementals
Water and Ice Elementals
Fire and Energy Elementals
Earth and Magma Elementals
Psychic and Magic Elementals
Undead:
Skeletons and Skeleton Warriors
Walking Dead and Zombies
Wights and Wraiths
Vampires and Vampire Lords
Liches and Power Liches
Black and Dread Knights
Bone and Ghost Dragons
Mummies

Golems:

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 elementals, 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. |
