I also have Vlad and he’s just filling a slot on my roster.
The only reason I’ve not fed him away, is because of the family bonus.
I have Frank, and Valeria, so with 3 vampire family heroes Frank should go off just that little bit faster. That 12% mana bonus plus that of my magic troops takes Frank to a functional average speed.
The thing is though there’s not many teams I’d dare to take on with Vlad on the team, and that is saying a lot.
The older 4* heroes still manage but Vlad is now useless.
