• It’ll trigger if the hit killing the creature was a melee hit.
• Melee hit available in the game:
  • Pickaxe attack
  • Power Attack
  • Reinforced Power Drills
  • Impact Axe
    • Will only trigger vampire if the target is killed by the melee part of the attack
    • Impact Axe do 3 damage instance in this order: 50 melee damage, 110 melee damage, 80 explosive damage.

Tips

• Impact Axe are not guarantee to trigger vampire as part of its damage is explosive.
• Vampire synergizes extremely well with Iron Will and, to a leaser extent, Berzerker; it allows the player to kill monsters more easily with their melee attacks, which also regains HP for the player. Regaining HP during Iron Will prevents the player from going down at the end of its effect.
