Prerequisites

You should be using the Wolvenkit Blender IO Suite for import/export from Blender.

One way you can reduce the vertex count on your mesh is by using the Decimate modifier in Blender.

Applying the Decimate modifier to your mesh

First, you'll want to select the mesh/submesh you want to lower the vertex count on. You will know it is your active selection if it is highlighted in yellow, and not orange.

Next, at the bottom right, click on the blue wrench icon to go to where you add modifiers.

Click 'Add Modifier'

You can find the Decimate modifier here:

Once it is added, you can lower your vertex count by dragging down the ratio slider. Check 'Triangulate' as well. Some meshes use what are called "quads", which aren't compatible with most games.

Now, drag down the ratio slider till you are happy with the result.

Once you are done, apply the modifier:

All done :)
