The Man, The Vampire

• Vincent is a monster. He is the first Guild Monster and can only be fought by guild members. There are 2 Vincent fights at this time: a regular Vincent fight and an Alpha Vincent fight.

• For summoning: we don't need any item to summon him. There is a progress bar for each fight. Every click on the summon button will cost you 20 energy. It needs a certain amount of clicks to fulfill the bar so that you can fight him.
• The monster fight is set up like a Guild Battle. Vincent has his own Guild filling up the North, East, West, and South gates.
• We do not have to spend any stamina to join the battle. We don't use tokens but stamina to attack him. Each attack costs you 5 / 10 / 20 / 50 stamina, depends on your choice of attack and your stamina, like normal battle with other monsters.
• Your health is 10 times normal. If you normally have 100 health, you will have 1,000 health for the Guild Monster fight.

• You do not pick your class at the beginning of the monster fight. You class will be whatever you have it set as for Guild Battles.
