Posts from How to defeat Death and its vampires?

It's tough, sometimes almost impossible, but there are usually still chances...
Life - level up the Paladin, gather ballistas, and learn defensive magic, starting with death wards.
Death - accumulate more vampires than the enemy necromancer! And don't hire imps, cerberuses, or devils.
Order - on large maps, it's not weaker than Death, so the main thing here is mages (hero characters). Slow down the vampires, and when they get close, teleport them further away. While this is happening, genies, other heroes, and the rest eliminate the support units, and then everyone together kills the bloodsuckers. Just make sure you have enough mana... And golems are definitely essential.
Might - probably only a rush strategy. A well-leveled barbarian is powerful, but he can't handle hordes of vampires; it's not even black dragons.
Chaos - disintegration spells, and vampire attacks with ifrits.
Nature - theoretically, water elementals (and maybe dragonlings), and units from the portal and summoned units. Mantises or phoenixes, supported by a dragon, can hold them off for quite a while, giving you time to summon as many elementals as possible. But even then, it's not certain that it will save you

Against Death Vampires: Life Crusaders are effective. There isn't another direct counter. You can also use fire elementals, dragons, and robots, etc., but this isn't a complete counter.

Against Death Vampires
Life Crusaders are good. There isn't another direct counter. You can also use fire elements, dragon robots, etc., but that's not a complete counter.

Do you mean counter - cortatak, retaliatory attack? If so, then the attack of the Crusaders, i.e., double attack - yes, it can be used against the abilities of the vampires. But only on those maps where it is possible to have approximately the same number of vampires and crusaders, i.e., on small maps. Because on large maps, the Necromancer, after leveling up, will practically create vampires after each battle, and they will defeat these crusaders in numbers. In such cases, it is preferable to use golems, ifrits, etc. Those that prevent vampires from regenerating.

Crusaders are good if they get lucky. Here, in /topic/at/490549/, I provided an example of one battle where luck was on the vampires' side, not theirs. But Dragon Golems with their first attack against vampires are quite good. And it’s difficult for Death to inflict various negative effects (aging, fatigue, low morale) on them.

By the way, I noticed that mutation isn't needed in 90% of cases. Sure, mutation is a good ranged attacker, but vampires are much better.

You could try a tactic involving building poisonous creatures. And raising vampires using necromancy. But, of course, this tactic is effective where you can create many vampires, i.e., on large maps. This tactic also implies a fast pace of play. The advantage of this tactic is obtaining powerful archers for the Necropolis (and the only ones), and powerful melee fighters – vampires. The disadvantage is that you will have to sacrifice the development of other heroes and other useful skills for the Necromancer.
