A vampire was never armed in the Heroes games – its main weapon was its teeth:):):)

And in Heroes 5, they want to make it lose its innate abilities:)

What do you think about this?

NecroFill will come and explain. We've discussed this subject with him many times before. However, we've never agreed on anything.
Here's my opinion.
If he has a sword, how does he drink blood? After all, a vampire needs fresh, living blood, and you can't get it from a corpse with a sword.
Besides, a vampire possesses superhuman strength. But he has the same equipment and level as a Knight. IMHO - nonsense.
In general, I don't like this kind of vampire at all. No matter how you look at it.

I always thought that a vampire in Heroes attacks with its hands, not its teeth...
Of course, it would have been possible to implement an attack with teeth, beautifully, like in the movie "Dracula."
But on the other hand, imagine a vampire drinking the blood of a dragon...

And what difference does it make, with a sword or with teeth, with hands...

There is an attack that reduces the enemy's health and restores its own.

Vampires, by their very nature, do not require weapons, as they possess supernatural strength. These are not knights, but rather vile, low creatures, not necessarily of heroic origin, and certainly not warriors... perhaps they pursue some common goals with the rest of the undead, but the "hundreds of years of experience," as stated in their description, has no basis. This is not a vampire prototype. I'm seeing a vampire with a sword and without huge fangs for the first time. Nonsense...
P.S. I completely agree with Katrine's post.

Perhaps in Heroes 5, they wanted to convey that vampires have degenerated:):) they got tired of drinking blood, and here's the mutation – Vampire Form, but essentially just a regular evil sorcerer with a sword.

To wield a sword and destroy steel – to possess sharp teeth and devour flesh, craving fresh blood – and to be consumed by darkness, rejecting the light.

In my opinion, the question is not quite right: teeth or a sword; the main thing is the very essence of vampirism, the replenishment of life force at the expense of others, although, to be honest, it would be interesting to see how he would do it with a sword.

I don't think Nival will rework the existing vampires. That is, they will attack with a sword... Definitely. They are unlikely to listen and change anything, even despite the objections of hundreds of fans...
And how the vampires will regenerate shouldn't... bother us...

NecroFill will come and explain. We've discussed this person several times. Although we've never agreed.

Well, I'll explain my vision of the process, since you mentioned me...
A sword is quite suitable because vampires are former warriors who have been turned into vampires and can no longer imagine themselves without a sword. And with the acquisition of eternal life, strength, and the reflexes of vampires, they become super swordsmen, practically invincible fencers (much better than any of those Vardancer elves)...
Regarding drinking blood... I think it's clear that no one will lick it off the sword, but! No one has pulled out the vampires' teeth... and besides, I hope everyone has seen Takashi Kitano's films (for example). If you cut a neck (any) artery with a sword, the blood will gush out, and it will not be difficult to lean down and drink it... But it will be inconvenient to use teeth to pierce the armor of knights, griffins, the thick skin of minotaurs, etc. - a rune sword is just the thing for making holes in the enemy's body ;)

Okay, let's assume that's the case. But how do you explain that super swordsmen, these Uber machines with wings, are opposed by simple griffins from Haven? Why are vampires, who are initially stronger, comparable in level to ordinary humans when they have equal equipment?

Well, that's a question for the game designers, not me... I wouldn't mind seeing the vampires' level increased, but with their regeneration ability, it would be completely overpowered; that is, their sixth level would be even better than the seventh... But as it is, they're weak fourth-level units, which doesn't really match the imposing appearance of the Great Black Rune Sword... But that's more of a general issue with the anime-style graphics (just think of the non-functional former archangel's sword or the devil's mace) – everything is exaggerated and not very functional... But if we keep talking about this, Dion will show up (Dion – hi :D) and start yelling, "Realism – to hell with it, or the nonsense will only get worse"...

A fly, 3 grenades, 1 AK, 2 TT... what kind of sword are we talking about here? A vampire's main weapon is its decaying, cavity-ridden teeth.

Who can explain to me why there shouldn’t be a sword? After all, in battle, you need to destroy enemies, not have dinner. A sword is more appropriate, and it should be a sword. A vampire is a noble undead creature, and their weapon should be noble as well. I’m all for it!

One doesn't preclude the other!

Why is a vampire a noble undead?:confused: :mad:
He's a disgusting creature that only needs blood.
A Lich is a noble undead.
