The vampire, drawing from the primal urge to feed in it's heart, denies it by wielding an intermediary weapon. That urge, denied of it's sustenance, empowers the vampire to unforeseen heights as it's body desperately strains for sustenance.

A vampire who fights with melee weapons is far more dangerous than a vampire who fights with their fangs alone. The latter fights to feed and sustain itself, while the former fights simply to kill.

It is the use of this technique that divides the garden-variety vampire from the true beasts.
