The vampire lord is a creature in Might & Magic: Heroes VI. It is an Elite creature of the Necropolis faction, and is the upgraded version of the vampire.

When a Vampire reaches complete mastery over his new powers, he starts to age backwards, looking one year younger with each new century of unlife. He is now greeted as a Vampire Lord, and joins the ruling council of the Necromancers.^OffBck

	Out of Time
	“Smash twice. Only sure way to kill it.” These words of advice from a warworn Cyclops are particularly good to remember when fighting a Vampire. When concentrating only on defense, the vampire is capable of entering the Spirit World just long enough to avoid an attack. If one wants to be sure to damage it, one must strike it again before it has time to regain its composure. The next attack targeting the Vampire Lord this turn will automatically fail. Does not consume the action for the current turn. Cooldown: 2 turn(s).OffBck
	Vampiric Grasp
	“She stabbed him the belly, and he bit her in the back, the angels healed her everywhere and the Emperor drank to that.” In the tavern song that recounts the epic battle between Amanda and the Vampire Lord Miroul, the Holy Empire’s Great Inquisitrice is bitten in a different part of her body with each verse. She keeps stabbing the Vampire in the belly to know apparently no avail. She is finally victorious, but few actually get to that fortieth verse in the song before succombing to the ritual of downing their glass along with the Emperor. 25% of the damage dealt to living targets restores the Vampire Lord's Health.OffBck

Tactics

The vampire is the second key unit in the Necropolis army. Not only are they one of the best undead creatures, they are even one of the best elite creature. High health, defense, luck and weekly growth combined with the Vampiric ability makes them hard to remove from the battlefield. The damage is on the low side, so try to use a spell/ability that increases their attack damage, consequently increasing their life regeneration.
