Some items in this Vampire Ethereal Vampire Tank build require unlocking before they can be used. Note that items listed in "Avoid" sections are also shown here - check the build details to see if unlocking them is necessary for this strategy.
Use Ghost Flints early game to stack stats while compensating for their armor reduction with Vampire's natural armor gain per level. Transition to Shurikens mid-game for safe ranged damage while maintaining life steal healing.
Start by collecting multiple Ghost Flints for stat stacking. Don't combine them too early to maximize kill potential. Focus on surviving with minimal HP by utilizing high life steal percentage.
You can also add one Ghost Axe to the build. Begin transitioning to Shurikens around wave 12. Keep stacking armor through level-ups. Focus on items that provide melee damage and crit chance to scale Shuriken damage.
Focus on maxing out Shurikens to red tier. Stack crit chance to reach 100%. Maintain high armor values through level-ups and items while keeping enough HP to survive hits.
Avoid items that reduce max HP too much, as you need enough health pool to survive hits while life stealing back up. Be careful with items that reduce armor early game.
Use Vampire's passive armor gain to offset ethereal weapons' downsides. Keep HP low but not too low - aim for enough to survive 2-3 hits. Prioritize attack speed to maximize life steal healing potential. Consider transitioning to ranged weapons after stacking enough stats with Ghost Flints.
