Using Vlad as a better example:
If he were to have The Sin of Wrath, fighting him would be ineffective, as the act of fighting itself would only empower him, even if the fighter in question were doing so out of righteous anger. Divine Wrath is still Wrath after all.
Not to say he couldn't be killed in battle, only that fighting Vlad makes Vlad stronger. The only way to be truly effective in a fight against Vlad then, would be to not fight Vlad at all, that is, to exibit The Heavenly Virtue of Patience.
Of course, Vlad could still pull out a gun and shoot someone, but that's beside the point.
It's the same for each other sin. You can't outsin a sin. That would be the nature of what I'm trying to get at, I guess.
Wrath (Latin, ira), also known as "rage", may be described as inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger. Wrath, in its purest form, presents with self-destructiveness, violence, and hate that may provoke feuds that can go on for centuries. Wrath may persist long after the person who did another a grievous wrong is dead. Feelings of anger can manifest in different ways, including impatience, revenge, and vigilantism.
Wrath is the only sin not necessarily associated with selfishness or self-interest (although one can of course be wrathful for selfish reasons, such as jealousy, closely related to the sin of envy). Dante described vengeance as "love of justice perverted to revenge and spite". In its original form, the sin of anger also encompassed anger pointed internally rather than externally. Thus suicide was deemed as the ultimate, albeit tragic, expression of hatred directed inwardly, a final rejection of God's gifts.

The part in bold would be an interesting way to kill Vlad.
See Wrath is so self-destructive. To me, to beat a sin, you must let it go to the utmost extreme, which would lead to the destruction of it. Of course, there are consequences to letting such a thing happen.
