Fighting Higher Vampires in the base game is the same as dealing with normal Katakans. Higher Vampires in the base game are different from the Higher Vampires in the game's Blood and Wine DLC. The only Higher Vampires that you fight in Blood and Wine is The Beast of Beauclair and Dettlaff Van Der Eretein which require entirely different strategies to fight them.
The best way to deal with Higher Vampires is to slow them down using the Yrden Sign trap or burning them with the Igni Sign. Fighting around the Yrden Sign trap will reveal the Higher Vampire and significantly slow it down. You can also use Devil's Puffball Bomb to stop its regeneration once the Higher Vampire activates it.
You should use your Silver Sword and coat it with Vampire oil to deal bonus damage to them. Prepare some Devil's Puffball Bombs to deal with its regeneration and Moon Dust Bombs if you have difficulty preventing it from becoming invisible.
