      • []They can use melee attacks in their vampire lord forms (claws). Depending on the enemy (Vampires, automatons etc), distance and their remaining magicka, they will prefer to use melee.

      • []If you are using po3 tweaks, Use Scrambled Bugs and change attachHitEffectArt=true to fix bat cloak not being visible.

      • []They will transform when there are bosses, enemies higher level than them or there are a set number of enemies around (Number is customizable, if there are bosses or high level enemies, they will ignore the number).

        
      • []They will NOT transform when you are sneaking, you're in a village, or you're near dawnguard & vigilants of stendar.

        • []Makes them smarter

          [*]Vampire lord Cape, required enemy amount & required HP before transforming and bat dash is custom

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community favorite with 300 endorsements and over 9,000 downloads, proving it works well for many players.
  • Adds real depth to Serana and Valerica's combat, making them feel like actual Vampire Lords with spells and melee.
  • Smart AI tweaks mean they transform at the right moments and use bat dash to stay in the fight, which is a huge quality-of-life boost.

⚠️ Cons

  • Mod is no longer supported, so don't expect updates or fixes for future game patches.
  • Requires Scrambled Bugs tweak to fix bat cloak visibility if using po3 tweaks, which is an extra setup step.
  • Compatibility risk with other mods that alter Serana or Valerica's AI or Vampire Lord mechanics, since this overhauls their behavior.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want Serana and Valerica to be more powerful and dynamic in combat, especially those who enjoy Vampire Lord gameplay. If you're tired of followers standing around or want them to actually use their vampire powers, this is for you. Skip if you prefer minimal changes to follower behavior or don't want to tweak ini files.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you use po3 tweaks, install Scrambled Bugs and set attachHitEffectArt=true to make the bat cloak visible.
  • Customize the transformation conditions in the mod's MCM or config to fit your playstyle, like setting the enemy count threshold.
  • Since the mod is unsupported, keep a backup of your save before installing, and test in a clean area to ensure no conflicts with other follower mods.
