How to play Vampire
Samurai Skull and Gozuki (Support)
These two monsters help you send zombie monsters from the deck to the grave.
Vampire Grace, Vampire Duke and Vampire Kingdom (Gameplay 1)
Use Duke and Grace to combo with Kingdom to bombard the opponent's cards.
Vampire Vamp (Playstyle 2)
Use Vamp to steal your opponent's monsters and attack them.
Vampire Red Baron and Vampire Scarlet Scourge (Playstyle 3)

Vampire - Dragonecro Dragonic Fusion!
Vampire Red Baron (Boss)
(first) (2) At the end of the Battle Phase, if this card destroys any monster(s) by battle: You can Special Summon them from the GYs to your field. |
Red Baron can exchange 1 Vampire monster you control for 1 monster your opponent controls. You can exchange Familiar or Retainer (2 monsters with low attack power) to capture 1 opponent's monster (including face-down monsters).
Crimson Knight Vampire Bram (Boss)
2 Level 5 Zombie monsters (first) You can detach 1 material from this card, then target 1 monster in your opponent's GY; Special Summon that targets your field , but only that monster can attack for the rest of this turn. You can only use this effect of "Crimson Knight Vampire Bram" once per turn. (2) Once per turn, during the Standby Phase of the next turn after this card you controlled was destroyed by your opponent's card and sent to your GY: Special Summon this card in Defense Position. |
Bram can help you actively summon monsters from your opponent's grave more easily than Red Baron and Scarlet Scourge , however only monsters summoned by Bram attack during that turn.
The opponent's monsters can be used to sacrifice to Duke, Scarlet Scourge or used to make xyz materials, Vampire's Desire or some skills like Level Tuning will help you adjust the level of those monsters.
Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon (Boss)
2 Zombie monsters Must first be Fusion Summoned. (first) Monsters cannot be destroyed by battle with this card. (2) At the end of the Damage Step, if this card battled a monster that has an original Level: That monster's ATK becomes 0, also, if that monster is still face-up on the field, Special Summon 1 "Dark Soul Token" (Zombie /DARK/Level ?/ATK ?/DEF 0). (When Summoned, its Level and ATK become equal to the original Level and ATK of that monster.) You can only control 1 "Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon". |
Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon is a fusion monster that can be created easily with the ingredients of 2 zombie monsters.
Dragon's Mirror (Skill)
(first) Fusion Summon 1 Dragon Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, by banishing Fusion Materials listed on it from your field or GY. |
Dragonecro can be summoned with Dragon's Mirror .
Skills: Dragonic Fusion
At the beginning of the Duel, add 'Dragon's Mirror' to your Deck and shuffle it. Then, add 'Five-Headed Dragon' to your Extra Deck. This Skill can only be used once per Duel. Can be used when your Life Points decrease by 1500. Return 1 card from your hand to your Deck and add 'Dragon's Mirror' to you hand from your Deck. |
Use skills to get to Dragonecro more easily. By paying the cost to Familiar or Retainer to activate their effects, you can easily meet the skill conditions and get Dragon's Mirror in your hand. Skill has a disadvantage that you will add 1 Dragon's Mirror to your deck at the beginning of the game, so you will have the ability to draw this card in the first turns and it will become a dead card in your hand.
