Open the Sprite Checklist →What the Vampire Sprite Does
Vampire is a Legendary Sprite introduced in v42.30 on October 1. Its mouth-and-fangs design matches the power: enemy damage returns Health to you. That is a different condition from Jonesy’s delayed recovery after taking damage or Morgana’s improved healing items. Vampire asks you to keep landing damage if you want its recovery to matter.
The source says Health, so this guide does not describe the effect as Shield recovery. It also does not specify an exact percentage, a per-hit cap, or a weapon restriction. Until those details are independently confirmed, the useful comparison is the trigger itself: damage dealt, rather than damage received or a consumable used.
How to Find and Collect Vampire
Vampire released on October 1, 2026 with v42.30. The live Sprite directory confirms its Legendary base form and the four established special forms. It does not list a confirmed spawn area for this Sprite yet, so there is no named landing spot to recommend. Epic’s Fortnitemares notes introduce Pumpkin Chests as a general Sprite hunting route and turn Cheat Codes into Trick or Treat Cheats, which may give an extra treat alongside a Sprite.
Those general routes are not published per-Sprite odds. Keep a find safe through extraction before treating it as collection progress, and tick only the exact form you obtained. For Bounty Hunter forms, Epic’s documented route is eliminating opponents. No Season 4 drop rates have been published; the directory’s 0% labels are placeholders rather than proof that a released Sprite cannot be found.
Vampire Variants and the Trick or Treat Release State
Vampire has five verified live forms: Normal, Gold, Cheat Master, Loot Hacker, and Bounty Hunter. Each keeps the same base ability. Gold adds bonus Sprite XP from eliminations, Cheat Master makes Cheat Code inputs count as correct, Loot Hacker improves the chances of items from your Loot Hacks, and Bounty Hunter offers a chance to find Sprites on eliminations while gaining Sprite XP only from eliminations unless a special Sprite rule applies.
The sixth form, Trick or Treat Vampire, has a real icon but remains unreleased on October 1. Its cell stays Soon and does not reduce your completion percentage. The directory has not published its bonus or the wider release date. Only Trick or Treat Crown is live so far. A new column is therefore not evidence that every row in it can already be collected.
Healing tied to dealing damage
Dealing damage to an enemy restores some of your Health. The percentage recovered increases as the Sprite levels; the directory does not publish the percentage for each level.
Vampire is worth considering if you regularly trade damage in fights. Recovery connected to your own hits may reward a sustained exchange, but it is not a reason to leave cover or ignore a heal you already have. You still need to hit the enemy for the effect to activate. A missed shot gives you no reason to expect recovery, and an opponent can still overwhelm you. Use the Sprite as support for accurate fighting, then compare it with a defensive or mobility companion if your main problem is getting out of a bad position.
Track Each Vampire Form Separately
The free Sprite Checklist saves your collection in your browser and treats each variant as a separate find. Owning Normal does not mark Gold or another theme as owned. Use the Missing filter before a session to choose a target, then update the right cell after you extract it. Mastery is tracked separately, so finding a form and completing its leveling path remain distinct achievements.
Share links and backup codes preserve the collection you recorded. An upcoming row becomes collectable only after its release is verified; you can revisit this guide and What’s New for later status changes. The Season 3 archive remains a separate checklist, so a find from that older generation does not stand in for a current Override Sprite.
