Necromancers who wish to cheat death become Vampires with ever-youthful - but empty - bodies. Any damage that Vampires inflict upon the living heals their own immortal forms. Gifted with hundreds of years of combat experience, they are so swift with their swords that none can retaliate against their strikes.OffBck

The vampire is the fourth-level creature of the Necropolis in Heroes of Might and Magic V.

The No Enemy Retaliation ability means there is little reason not to attack every round, and Life Drain makes it far easier to end most combats with as many vampires as the player started with. The vampire is best used aggressively.
