  1. So one incorrect thing is that Dracula can flick his hellfire pillar. The moment he casts there is a single frame before it actually fires out. During that 1 frame you can flick. But it feels so wierd.

  2. I didn't really like dracula, this chapter kind of reminds me of when sadako and then dredge released in that they're two similar killers that released close together. But this time with vecna and dracula, the formers connection being stealth killers that can teleport to predetermined locations on the map, vs now which ill call killers with a box of assorted powers.

    I've been loving vecna recently, and i think i love vecna for the reasons i don't like dracula, which is i like how creative you can be with vecna, and the management you have to do with his power. With dracula, its almost flowchart like, is the survivor at a tile with medium to long walls that you can't see over? Wolf form. Are they a far away or holding w in an empty area? Bat form. Else: use hellfire. And the cooldowns really reflect that.

    The techs themselves don't change my opinion either, i hate the 1 frame flick on pyramid head, the clearance for what hellfire can and can't go through is inconsistent, and hug teching with wolf form is something that while useful, is something that just isn't intuitive or feels good to use at all.

    Its why i don't really agree he particularly hard to play, hes just really unintutive.

  3. You guys try playing with predator and bloodhound? That would be a no.
    Try it I think it is funny. Especially as the doggo. If you can't track scratch marks with that set up then I think your a survivor main.
    Also you all have the wrong idea of Dracula.

  4. Glad to know that other people were having a rough time with Dracula. This reminds me a lot of day 1 singularity… Extremely clunky on console, painful to play right out of the box, and requires a herculean amount of effort to do what other killers can do much more easily

    Glad some people are having fun but i was really disappointed with this killer

  5. drac has only been only for 1 day…. I'm just here to have fun with him, I could care less if i get losses. I like that he's some got a bunch of tools to play with. I know i'm not in that high MMR range, I'm most likely in the mid with my 3k hours, but I mainly play for fun.

  6. Ah yes my favorite souls-like loop of "Wow man this boss is sure the epitome of poor game design and the developers should lose their family" shortly followed up by "Yeah that was probably the best boss in this game what a great time"

  7. One thing i will say is Dracula is his bat's form

    Bat form is basically a teleport only and don't stay in it too long because there is no benefit unless you equip add ons like window blocking and the hindered on teleport window and make the teleport better by giving it more range

    Being blind in bat form really holds it back and it can't see blood which makes it an even harder spirit

    Wolf is decent and plus with hug teching being doable it makes pounce more stronger

    Vampire form hell fire blast can allow for some crazy hits if you see even see a gap that has an opening to allow you to shoot through or over alot of objects

  8. Bat form 🦇 and hell fire 🔥 are the reason I love Dracula. He's slowly becoming my favorite character even though In some cases he doesn't feel well, once you master them to a degree he is so fun. I have a "really strong build" don't quote me that takes advantage of bat form oppression pop surveillance. Makes my knowledge on what's going on with bat forms speed so good. I know he isn't for everyone but I'm loving him

  9. Honestly bro, I think he feels great. Is he S tier? No, no he's not. All things considered, he's quite possibly weaker than Vecna. He's a lot of fun to play though. The different shapeshifts for different situations are engaging, and honestly, Hellfire is quite strong. It doesn't go through anything like Pyramid Head's does, but it's also not as telegraphed, and he has better map traversal to offset. I'd put the release on Par w Unknown/Sable, personally. Making it one of the better ones. Though I disagree w most of what you say, still gave a like and sub, since you elaborate your points well. Looking forward to the next video.

  10. I don't know what matches you're getting, Hellfire and Pounces are EXTREMELY easy to read, my second match was a SWF with brand new parts and septic agents lol
    I really don't see why anyone would pick him, unless they want to get BM'd and personally I don't think exploits or bugs really justify it because BHVR will eventually try to fix it

  11. Dracula is a perfectly designed killer in my eyes. He can do anything and more, however it requires skill and practice to fully grasp his kit and know how to do what you need to do to win. I will respect good Dracula players more than I respect good Nurses. He is easy to pick up for casual low MMR players, but hard to master for high MMR veterans. The better you are at his kit, the better you perform. However, players that main Pyramid Head, Chucky, Wesker and Spirit will have an easier time. This character is perfect for someone that absolutely love those 4 killers and can play them very well, since it uses the same mechanicsz but refined, weakened by a bit and combined into one.

  12. As someone who’s neurodivergent, the intense multitasking and micromanaging that comes with killers like Vecna and Dracula is deeply satisfying and rewarding for me. While they of course aren’t the best killers in the game, they can be surprisingly oppressive if you’re able to make use of every opportunity to use the tools available to them which is why I tend to enjoy characters like that so much. They encourage you to constantly be improvising so that you can trick survivors into making crucial mistakes that will cost them sooner or later.

  13. I'm honestly not big on the design direction they're going in, giving every new killer a hundred tiny powers that are just worse than other killers. I feel like they start to lack identity at a certain point when every killer has a power "similar to Nemesis." I swear I've heard that phrase a dozen times at this point.
