Lore: Uncle Tung was a elderly man living in the Public Apartments of run down china. After being murdered by a sorcerer practicing black magic in search of the key to eternal life, Tung's body was preserved. The sorcerer is then asked by the unknowing wife to resurrect Tung. He performs a ritual on the body of Tung, promising that if the process goes accordingly, Tung will revive after several days. However, Tung's wife cannot wait and the sorcerer admits the blood of a virgin would speed up the process. Tung's wife tricks a neighbor's child into being the tribute for Tung's revival but against the wishes of the sorcerer, Tung's wife had ruined the process. Tung has returned as a Jiangshi; but, he is no longer the kind man he was alive, he was a lost body out to kill. Not longer after his revival, Tung's body was possessed by the spirit of two ghosts, lost without a body. The body with no soul and the souls with no body became one to create a new being. As this monster is confronted by man with no aspirations, the two are kidnapped by the mist before they can begin their battle.

The effect of the hinder increases over 7 seconds until the survivor can no longer run.



Power: The Jiangshi Vessel

As a Jiangshi, your body cannot move properly due to succumbing to the process of rigor mortis. You lose the ability to move and MUST Jump. A Jump is a movement that moves the Vampire up and into the air. While in the air, the Vampire can move freely in any direction but once the Vampire lands, they must Jump to move again. There is a very very short cooldown in between each jump. They cannot go over Pallets with the jump.


SPECIAL ABILITY: Soulless Body

Press and hold the Power button to Activate Soulless Body. After a 1.5 second channel, the Vampire Jumps high into the air. Visible Survivors are highlighted. The Vampire begins to fall and can now move in any direction until they land. Upon landing, nearby survivors who can have Line of Sight with the Vampire scream.

Soulless Body begins on cool-down for 60 seconds at the start of the Trial.

Soulless Body can only be activated when not on cool-down (90 seconds).


SPECIAL ABILITY: Bodiless Souls

Press and hold the Active Ability button to use Bodiless Souls, sending out two Lost Souls to the left and right that move 1.6m/s (40%) for 15 seconds (32 Meters) in that direction before turning around and meeting back where they were sent off and returning to the Jiangshi Vessel (Total roam time: 30 seconds). 

If a survivor comes into the Lost Soul's Detection Range, the Lost Soul will chase at them down 4.8m/s (120%) and haunt, causing them to Scream and revealing their Aura until the Lost Souls have finished roaming and have returned to the Jiangshi.

If both Lost Souls have haunted someone, their Auras will stay revealed until the time it should've took for the Lost Souls to have finished their expeditions.

Bodiless Souls can only be activated when not on cool-down (60 seconds).

    I can't believe we don't have a vampire in DBD yet.

    Again, vampires are one of the oldest monster legends in human history. They are also among the most popular in modern pop culture including books, movies, art, games like skyrin, Halloween costumes etc. I believe it to be a huge mistake for dbd to leave vampires behind. I believe adding vampires to the killers will greatly increase this games popularity. Look at how much better skyrim did compared to previous elder scrolls games. I guarantee mostly due to the intricate and expansive vampire and werewolf content. I hope dbd considers adding vampire killers soon. Plus there can be customizations to sell such as traditional Dracula version, skyrim version, underworld version, etc.
