Vampire Brute EliteMobs Guide

Vampire Brute is a regular dungeon mob found in The Vampire Manor. It has 4 named encounter variants, and those variations matter when you are fighting your way through the manor.

The versions share a name but can differ in their base mob, multipliers, equipment, powers, or phase changes. Treat the name as the start of the fight, not the entire plan.

How to Beat It

Arrows and other player-fired projectiles cannot hurt a Vampire Brute, and you cannot knock it away. Use damage that is not a player projectile, and do not plan on fire helping you.

Hard and Mythic add Wither I for three seconds when it lands a hit. Handle the summoned Vampire Hounds while keeping track of the Brute itself: a hound can also inflict Wither on Hard and Mythic.
