#1  Vampires Flee in Daylight…They are POWERLESS 

Vampires are nocturnal creatures who hunt, breed, and survive during the hours of the night. Daylight is their worst enemy. Legends state that vampires must sleep during the day and refrain from light exposure. If they are presented with any form of daylight, they will immediately lose their supernatural abilities. As a result, they become human and are no long immortal. During hours that a vampire is exposed to daylight, any type of weapon that can kill a human can also kill a vampire. To retain their supernatural powers, vampires often sleep in a coffin in a trancelike state where they are still vividly aware of their surroundings.

#2  Vampires Hate Religious Symbols…They are SUPERSTITIOUS 

Religious symbols are quite effective at warding off the evil powers and evil nature of the sinister vampire. For example, holy crosses and holy water can be used to deter a vampire from their kill. Their lust for blood can be quenched by the power of these religious symbols. Interestingly enough, it is not just the symbol itself, but the human yielding the symbol that makes it an effective weapon against a vampire. Only people who have proven to be faithful in their hearts can use these religious symbols to stand against the wiles of the vampire.

#3  Vampires Must be Invited…They are OUTSIDERS 

An uninvited vampire is a powerless one. According to the legends and myths surrounding the bloody tales, a vampire can only enter a home if he is invited by one of the current residents. This invitation must be one that is made by an act of freewill and cannot be forced or falsely established. Of course once the vampire has been invited into the home, then he is quite free to come and go as he likes. As a result, vampires usually take up residence and stay for a long, long time.

These simple tools can help you ward off thee blood-thirst villains.  Weapons can be used to diminish the powers of vampires.
