Did you know, you can use the Vampire Lord version of vampiric drain in your base vampire form? It’s the same glitch that allows you to use vampiric grip, although you use the bound sword in your right hand instead.
None one can tell me to handle Partysnacks, even my current character being a vampire lord still is thankful for Partysnack’s training as Dragonborn.
A classic Fus Ro Dah could have worked, but Vampiric grip in either vampire or vampire lord form can launch npcs a series distance! Plus it’s literally like using force choke.
It’s pretty cool they added that detail, and Khajjit fold their ears back with a snarl as well.
Necromage Vampire, plus Ring of The Wind.
The Dragonborn DLC is my favorite location in Skyrim. The alien atmosphere and the music is a wonder. It’s interesting seeing glimpses of Dark Elf culture. I believe the reason why I feel nostalgia for Morrowind even though I never played it, is because I would and still do listen to the soundtrack from time to time. I think my next playthrough I will play as a Dark Elf. Anyway, I am currently playing on the Switch, so hopefully Morrowind might someday be available on the Switch 2.
Race: Orc, Dovahkiin, Werewolf
Personality: Loud and proud when drinking in taverns. A loyal friend to those she cares for. Although can use magic and has learned a few spells, Dracoz prefers weapons, wether combat archery from afar or close quarters combat with sword and claw.
A hunter and berserker on the battlefield, either downing enemies by the dozens from afar with her dragon bone bow, and elemental fire, or ice arrows Dracoz crafts herself. Or closing the distance with whirlwind sprint, and falling to her natural orc berserk rage with two handed dragon bone weapons. Further when truly enraged in combat, shifts to her werewolf form, while embracing her Dovah spirit by using dragon aspect to rip and tear her enemies. Summoning a pack of werewolves she as the champion of Hircine commands to slaughter her foes.
Favorite Shouts: Dragon Aspect, Unrelenting Force, Fire Breath, Ice Breath, Whirlwind Sprint.
Dracos the Werewolf Dovahkiin
Race: Orc, Dovahkiin, Werewolf
Personality: Loud and proud when drinking in taverns. A loyal friend to those she cares for. Although can use magic and has learned a dozen spells, Dracos prefers weapons, whether combat archery from afar or close quarters combat with sword, war axe, and claw.

Basically the theme of the build was a mix of hunter, and classic fantasy berserker or barbarian. Then werewolf form as a hunter who worshipped Hircine. She also worshipped Namira as her Dragonborn and werewolf side started affecting her mentally more.

I think they’re generally good for vampires as well due to their natural slimmer facial features and bodies as well. It gives them that classic look of smug nobility or the classic look of Count Dracula if you as play as a male Altmer or Dumner. Female Altmer or Dunmer still have a alien like appearance to them as well due to how sharp their facial features are too. Especially with the glowing vampiric eyes and pale gold skin. Andralia above is set to max female Altmer weight if I remember correctly on the body slider from the character creator, despite that she still looks kinda slim. Plus their +50 magicka offsets the magicka debuff you get during the day. Then the Lady Stone allows for regeneration of HP and Stamina, while the Recovery perk allows for magicka regeneration even as a Vampire Lord in daytime. Combine that with the Highborn power, and more enchanted gear like the Ring of the Erudite and you’ll be spamming OP spells.

Andralia Volkihar OC Lore
Name: Andralia Volkihar
Race: Altmer, Dovahkiin, Vampire Lord
Personality: Warm and friendly towards those she actually trusts, like her sister figure Serana Volkihar, or her dunmer wife the mercenary Jenassa. Andralia though, is cold and ruthless towards enemies and indifferent towards the population of Skyrim, seeing them as cattle to state her vampiric appetite and power.
Andralia after fleeing the Summerset Isle from Thalmor prosecution due to her non perfect Altmer looks (Ebony hair, cat green eyes) and the slaughter of her family crossed the border into Skyrim. She after becoming Dragonborn, further looked for more power for her revenge, after clashing with the Thalmor once more early on her adventure as Dragonborn. And find it she did, when she become a vampire when fighting them as a member of the Dawnguard. It wasn’t enough, so she further dove into more power upon accepting the might of a Vampire Lord from Harkon. After overthrowing him and becoming the head of the Volkihar clan, and Andralia continues adventuring across Skyrim with her best friend and sister figure Serana Volkihar.
She has vanquished Alduin who she saw as a rival to her growing nature as Dovahkiin, letting they civil war rage on while purposefully rising through the ranks of the Imperial Legion. Only she uses the Empire to her own ends, her status as Legate and Dragonborn to influence Tulius to her own lust for power. Or, she uses her position as Leader of the Dark Brotherhood to sow discord. Even further throwing chaos down on the Empire after her assassination of the. Emperor. Andralia also just kills any she comes across in the wilds and roads of Skyrim leaving no survivors. Meanwhile she wipes out both Imperial and Stormcloak patrols and camps to further weaken both sides as her vampire lord to further her blood drunk vampiric power.
She has slaughtered all the Thalmor and their First Emissary Elenwen as her vampire lord form. Often flexing her power when hungry, by slaughtering and gorging herself on scores of guards in towns like Solitude or Winterhold. Stating her vampiric appetite, feasting and gaining more power though rivers of blood she drinks from her prey. Andralia is a true master of Destruction, Alteration, Illusion, and Conjuration Magic. She has also dabbled in Restoration as well. Using it to further her vampiric powers as a necromage vampire. Often in combat she transforms into her vampire lord form descending on foes as a swarm of bats knocking them down. Then activating her enhanced reflexes, and clawing apart or blasting said enemies with vampiric drain spheres and tossing others around like ragdolls with vampiric grip spells. All the while a cloud of bats orbits her disturbingly powerful form draining the life of enemies around her.
Andralia enjoys calling upon the might of Destruction and casting spells like Lightning Storm, Blizzard, Ice Storm, Elemental Blast, Unbound Storm, Chain Lighting, and Fire Storm etc. Or, summoning whole armies of Deadra and the dead, like Skeleton Warlocks, Death Priests, and Bone Colossuses under her mastery of Conjuration. Another summon Andralia calls forth is the undead Dovah Durnehviir. Her power of Conjuration is further focused by the Atherial Crown she wears upon her head. When hungry Andralia seduces her enemies with her vampire seduction prowess, often feeding on said prey, draining their blood before slitting her meal’s throat with a dagger. She also enjoys turning bandits against each other with her mastery of magics of the mind, sitting back in the shadows on occasion and enjoying watching said foes descend into madness as they slaughter each other. Then picking off the survivors through stealth or brute force, skill, and speed.
Her favorite shouts she uses are Whirlwind Sprint, Elemental Fury, and Slow time, to further increase her already superhuman speed, then moves into combat like a blur. Her weapons in hand like Dragonbane, and a Deadric or Ebony dagger, a whirlwind of violence slashing throats, and cutting down her enemies to fast for mortals to react to. Other shouts she enjoys are Storm Call, and cyclone combined with lightning Storm to destroy whole armies of enemies. Or she uses one of her favorite spells as a Vampire Lord, vampiric grip and flings enemies from afar. Slowing down time with a shout and smiting them out of mid air as her Altmer form with fire ball, or lightning bolt.

Skyrim vs Skyrim Survival mode how I see it, playing as a vampire is more accurate with survival mode turned off. Then survival mode is more accurate to non vampires (except for how none of the npcs feel any off the effects, like bandits for example.)
Vampiric Grip comes to mind, and can be used in your base form. Not just your vampire lord form, it is a glitch where you cast bound sword in your left hand, immediately cast it again while transforming to vampire lord form, then transform back, but right when THAT happens you select vampiric grip from the vampire lord spells power list menu (favorites menu).
Reason why it’s so OP, is it can work on almost everything bar dragons, mammoths, and Dwemer creations if I remember correctly. And can fling enemies across the map with enough momentum. Mages cannot defend against it as well, because it bypasses wards when wards can even block shouts like Fus Ro Dah.
Apparently werewolves and Vampire Lords actually do have armor as of the Dawnguard DLC, werewolf form gets armor from their unique claw attack effects. That stack when you scale, the problem is they don’t have amour multipliers like actual armor. But here’s the table from the uesp.net wiki. Max leveled beast form gets 400 armor and max level vampire lord gets 300 without armor flesh spells or dragon aspect stacked on. It’s just a really persistent myth that they don’t have armor. The problem is when you can’t block as either one cause you got no shields. And then when you’re facing off 20 or more level 50 town guards.
The reason why both the vampire lord and werewolf form in my opinion does less damage, and are less tanky than a high level Dragonborn, is because you’re a mythical hero. Like the Hero of Kavatch or the Nerevar, you can train your skills to a higher level. In lore and the ESO games, we see heroes like the Nord able to physically curbstomp werewolves, who can kool aid themselves through thick solid stone. The high level Dragonborn, through physical training in combat, can block blows from giants strong enough to shake the ground with their blows. Or send NPCs flying. And in lore, an elf was sent flying a league away.
Or the Dragonborn’s reflexes can become faster when blocking for a moment, although the vampire lord does have super natural reflexes and can slow down time as well. Both the dragon born after training, and the vampire lord can knock back enemies or into the air (Dragonborn shield runner perk) (vampire lord amulet of bats) through running or bat swarm dash. The werewolf meanwhile can physically knock around npcs with power attacks. ALTHOUGH, so can the vampire lord in Skyrim VR, and both Vampire Lords and werewolves can physically tear apart enemies with brute strength in lore.
