- This article is about the creature from Heroes of Might and Magic V. For other uses, see vampire lord.
The vampire lord is the upgrade of the vampire, the fourth-level creature of the Necropolis in Heroes of Might and Magic V.
Some Necromancers, seeking powers beyond death, become Vampire Lords. Any damage that Vampire Lords inflict upon the living heals their own immortal, eternally youthful bodies. None can retaliate against their strikes, and with their ability to teleport, none can foresee from where they may attack.OffBck
With higher stats and the ability to teleport around the battlefield, the vampire lord is a far more dangerous foe than the vampire. While they are less effective if forced to fight non-living opponents, vampire lords are considered one of the best units in the game when used tactically, able to defeat large armies with few losses.
