War for the Overworld Guide

Vampire

In-game icon of the Vampire

The most vicious minion in the Underworld, but afflicted by an insatiable appetite for the living: it will only feed on living minions from the Prison, or whatever minions are available if there are no prisoners. Vampires are immortal and will be resurrected at their Lair if killed.

Vampires are created from the Vampire Ritual in the Sanctuary. You also need to sacrifice three intelligent units, Beasts will not do. However, imprisoned enemy units will do just fine as sacrifice.

Once Vampires reach at least level 5, they become extremely dangerous. Two vampires can take out large armies on their own. Keeping Vampires in combat is ideal as it keeps their bloodlust sated, and they don't even care about missing payday as long as they are fighting. Out of combat they rely on prisoners to sate their need for blood. If you don't have prisoners, then the Vampire will start feeding on your normal minions.

There is a way to circumvent their need for blood when out of combat. You can either have Vampires fight in the Arena, they will gain blood every time they attack someone, even in the Arena. You can also drop them in the Spirit Chamber, but turn off Witch Doctor Channeling. As long as the Vampire is kept on the Spirit Chamber Pedestal, they will not need blood or anything else.
