'''To suck blood, switch to harm intent, target the head, and hit your victim.'''

Being an unholy vampire, you are weak to holy things. This includes the [[Chaplain]], Holy Water, and the [[Chapel]]. The Chaplain's bible when it comes into contact with you will set you alight in holy flame, this is extremely deadly and if you are unprepared can be fatal. Holy water also has the same effect, both when it comes into contact with you and when you come into contact with floors blessed by it. Merely being in the Chapel exposes you to its holy aura beginning a process of your certain death: at first, your skin will flake but will soon develop into you combusting into flames until you exit the Chapel, concluding with you being incinerated. The last and de facto weakness of Vampires is starlight. Vampires going out into space will be exposed to starlight causing them to burn in a similar fashion to being exposed to the Chapel's holy aura. Even with EVA gear, vampires are subject to being exposed to starlight.

Coffins will heal you while you are in them, <s>luckily for you</s>, the only readily-made coffins on the station are located in the Chapel meaning you have to [[Guide_to_construction#Planks|make one]] with wood. As you accumulate more blood, your powers will also grow, the extent of your powers are from a single-target stun to making your own antagonist. Eventually, your full potential will be reached resulting in you no longer being weak to the effects of anything holy.

 

Starting off, you will need to use a secular form of stun such as a [[Makeshift_weapons#Stunprod|stunprod]] in order to feed off of someone, but once doing so you will able to use the usable blood gained to use Hypnotize. Preferably, your victims will need to be in a secluded area so you can peacefully feed on them. Getting [[Maintenance]] access to prowl on unaware [[Assistant|maint dwellers]] will be a massive boon. Later on, Hypnotize will cost a minimal amount of blood allowing you to pick off people easily without the need of a stun weapon.  

Security Officers are equipped with [[Disabler|Disablers]] capable of dealing stamina damage at range and [[Stunbaton|Stunbatons]] capable of instantly stunning you in melee combat. Luckily for you, your first and costless ability, Rejuvenate, allows you to recover from stamina damage and stuns. Paired with your other abilities, a single officer can be quickly dispatched by negating their stunning capability and hypnotizing them. However, if a group of Officers attacks you then you will need to use your abilities along with any other weapon you may have. Chiropteran Screech will stun multiple people while Summon Bats will attack anyone in sight, and in a pinch, Bat Form will enable you to vent crawl for a quick escape. Furthermore, any damage that you may sustain from an encounter can be healed by being in a coffin or using your rejuvenate ability when you have unlocked regeneration.

 

''Until you have reached your full potential'', the Chaplain (and their holy items) are by far the most dangerous threat to you. A Bible, whether it be theirs or a printed one from the [[Library]], will set you on fire on contact, and they are equipped with a null rod that can take the form of a variety of weapons. As well as this, their [[Chapel|fort]] is imbued with the power of <s>Hamon</s> their deity which will incinerate you if you are present in there for too long. Generally, Chaplains are oblivious to the ongoings on the station unless they are directly called by Security for their aid, however, do not rule out that you will never encounter them or anyone with a Bible. Most importantly, '''DONT ENTER THE CHAPEL'''.  

Once you learn there is a vampire on the station, if possible, try not to leak this information publicly. Vampires have an ability to change their appearance and name at will. When combatting vampires, you should travel in groups in hopes of encountering one with backup; vampires are fully capable of picking off single targets with ease but struggle with dealing with large groups. Vampires additionally lose the ability to affect you with several of their more powerful abilities simply if you are wearing sunglasses and a bowman headset. You should also employ the Chaplain and carry Bibles to effectively combat a vampire, a single hit off a bible sets them alight and the Chaplain's holy water works the same way.

However, if the vampire has reached its full potential, you are merely as useful as any other assistant in standing up to such a creature.
