Bloodthirst Question

So, I was looking at Bloodlord of Vaasgoth and it states "Whenever you cast a Vampire creature spell, it gains bloodthirst 3". Now, I'm pretty sure it doesn't, but would it stack on with an already existing bloodthirst ability? Like, would Duskhunter Bat be able to come into play with 4 +1/+1 counters as if Bloodthirst 3 and 1 triggered. Just wanted to be sure because the wording kinda confuses me, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work that way.

Bloodthirst stacks.

If something has bloodthirst 1 and bloodthirst 3, it basically has bloodthirst 4.


502.50c If an object has multiple instances of bloodthirst, each applies separately.

Also, Duskhunter Bat is not a vampire, just so you know.

However, if you had a Bloodloord and cast another, he would enter the battlefield with 6x +1/+1 counters, third with 9x, and fourth with 12x (assuming they're all still alive, bloodthirst's condition has been met, and the opponent is somehow still alive)
