Vlad the Nightborn is a Legendary Void Attack champion of the Undead Hordes, a vampire who haunts Teleria's hallowed grounds, consuming all life around him. Summoned through the Halloween 2021 Fusion event's Fragment Collector, he was significantly buffed in February 2023, turning his AoE kit into one of the best wave manipulation and setup toolkits in the game.
Core Strengths & Abilities
AoE Leech with Turn Meter Theft: His A2, Exsanguinate, is an AoE attack with a 75% base (100% booked) chance to place Leech, and the same chance to steal 50% Turn Meter from Bannerlord, Sacred Order, or High Elf champions specifically, or simply cut 50% Turn Meter from any other target.
AoE Defense Shred and Skill Lock: His A3, Mind Shroud, is an AoE attack with a 75% base (100% booked) chance to place both a 60% Decrease DEF and a 2-turn Block Active Skills debuff, while also granting himself Perfect Veil — devastating for Arena and wave-heavy content like high-level Doom Tower or Faction Wars.
Self-Sustain and Revive on Kill: His passive, Notorious, grants him Revive on Death whenever he kills an enemy, and fully heals him while refilling 50% of his Turn Meter — though the healing and Turn Meter refill only trigger when Konstantin the Dayborn is on the same team.
Key Weaknesses
Best Passive Payoff Needs a Specific Partner: The healing and Turn Meter benefits of his passive are locked behind having Konstantin the Dayborn on the team, so his sustain potential is much weaker run without that pairing.
Vlad excels in Dragon, Ice Golem, Spider, and Fire Knight content, and pairs beautifully with Konstantin the Dayborn, who can follow up Vlad's life-draining setup with devastating nukes of his own.
