On the one hand I think this is fantastic. On the other, Dracula has a similar issue to vecna, where he's way too powerful to be taking orders from the entity. And unlike Vecna, most iterations of Dracula I know wouldn't necessarily care to be part of the game. And on a third hand, he really seems way too powerful of a character. He has dredges teleport but with windows, wolf form is functionally identical to wesker, and his hellfire is nemesis tentacle. Additionally, the human instinct to pet fluffy animal WILL result in many survivors just outright throwing games solely for the chance to pet the goodboy.
You probably haven't checked the lore. Basically the entity has placed these markers on certain strong beings like vecna. they seal and limit the killers powers, rendering them with enough power to hunt survivors, but not enough to escape or challenge the entity. it's a thing that has been introduced a few months ago
Yeah, I think caring enough to be upset about a killer over lore is kinda dumb. He is very oppressive and might get nerfed, but what a waste to worry about the killers lOrE.
@@tfcbioshock I'm well aware of the mark, I've read how vecna ended up there, and it genuinely makes sense. Vecna's intrigued and is researching the entity even as it's using him. It's a fantastic narrative tool for explaining how characters that frankly are beyond the entities ability to control are in the game. That said, I wasn't of the opinion that Dracula would have been enticed in the same way that the Vecna was. Though after considering it longer, an earlier dracula would probably have revelled in tormenting survivors almost as much as the entity itself.
Fun fact: Crispin Freeman voiced Mathias Cronqvist (aka Dracula) in Castlevania: Lament of Innocence and voiced Hector (one of Dracula's forge master aside of Isaac) in Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. Looks like Behaviour used Curse of Darkness design for Trevor.
@@alexandruandrei4362 I did lol major Castlevania fan especially the PS1/PS2 era, not many people know of the lore and history of Castlevania so I’m hoping with this chapter many people will look into the series
I can’t believe they didn’t take the chance to also add a map for this extremely long awaited chapter, the amount of players joining because of this chapter is crazy, imagine how many more would join seeing a new map aswell, and how many old players would’ve come back seeing the new map.
Wait a seconds...this dude is going to be a menace to people that like the garden of joy! This dude can teleport into the building gen room at any moment!
It's pretty good so far. He's just missing a few things like using the wine glass as an attack and saying, "What is a man? A miserable pile of secrets!"
Definitely see this killer as OP. His basic power goes through pallets and windows (Xeno, Pyramid, Nemesis, Huntress), his wolf form gives him great chase/catch up ability with what seems minimal cooldown (Wesker, Singularity), and his bat form gives him map control/mobility (Dredge, Xeno, Singularity, Freddy, Unknown)... And no items to disable any of these abilities like Xeno, Unknown, or Singularity.
A FRIGGING VAMPIRE!!! This is easily my favorite killer and I haven't even played him yet. I'm a fan boy for vampires. I haven't played the games, but I watched the anime and this guy is better than a anime one. There is only two things I'd change. A slightly faster wolf and being able to see survivors during bat mode. But this is frigging amazing. I'm stoked!
9:28 That's what i came to see. Happy to see this. I'm sure everyone thinks I'm being dumb but if his mori was drink blood from survivor's neck, i would have quit the game lol
9:12 hope they fixed this where you find survivors in lockers you go like straight through a locker. However, I noticed in Super Smash Bros Ultimate you can fight Dracula as a boss fight in adventure mode and classic mode where he turns into a green bat monster in the final phase
Was hoping that would be his mori, or it would be a form that activates when 1 survivor is remaining, even if it was just a visual change. Could be a cosmetic.
I do think one thing that could balance Dracula (and this is coming from a killer main) is that he should have more timers to his ability. Like, he should be able to stay in his different forms for 2 minutes or something like that, but then enventually he must return to his default form and then his different forms have cooldowns. Just increasing the cooldowns would make him much more balanced, but he should not be changed other than that. That way he is a little more balanced while still fun to play as.
I think Dracula looks super fun and I love killers that can do more than 1 thing with their power, but might be a bit clunky. Seen very mixed opinions on his actual strength and people saying he's a bit too clunky (similar to PTB Vecna)
It's more like a worse Nemesis tentacle but without the infection mechanic (which is also buffed in the same PTB). Doesn't go through walls, doesn't break pallets and has travel time while slowing you down a lot for using it, making it a good tool but risky. Keep in mind Survivors are also there to see new things and mess around rather than counterplaying him as if he was in the live game for a month already.
The transition animations from wolf to his vampiric form needs some polishing-which is fine since this is a test build. It's goofy to look at, so I could see the developers leaving it as is. I just hope they can up with something better. Overall, he seems pretty strong as a killer.
Seems like tonne of reused abilities from other killers in one. The bat is spirit and dredge powers wolf is demogorgon/wesker and base vampire has executioner power.
@@tfcbioshock So all I have to do is list powers that would not be reskins of existing powers? I want a killer that can fool survivors into thinking it is a fellow survivor, like the legion does in their trailer. Also, I think it is lame that Sadako has to chase. I want a killer that doesn't play tag. Instead, they have to do some ritual that the survivors need to interrupt or else they get hurt. Similarly, I want a cowardly killer that has to run away from the survivors. Like if they see him they can rush him and stun him. But if he catches a survivor off guard he can snatch them and run away, vaulting through windows and over pallets while carrying, trying to get to the hook before the survivors catch him because they can stun him without items. So that is three ideas I don't think are significantly similar to any existing powers.
At first I thought it’s a new skin for Vecna 🤣 interesting killer indeed. May I ask when are you going to release the next episode of the Hardcore challenge ?
@@Somalia2005 yeah they do. Upgrade the movement, move the story forward, new original killers, new ways to travese to new perks aren't just rehashes of older perks.
I wish they gave his bat form true undetectable and not lullaby undetectable. I mean Survivors will be able to hear the screeching bats anyway so the lullaby is just to shoot the Killer side in the foot. BHVR showing once again that they hate Killer side.
I like how you were excited D3AD, sounds like you were having the time of your life 😎👌 it's good to have fun and make people D3AD gg. Dracula looks amazing, very powerful...probably gonna get nerfed. He has like you said weskers ability in the wolf, nemisis with the fire in vampire form and spirit in the bats, interesting ideas 👏 alot of peeps are gonna be hating haha.
@@user-iz3mk6ni4sBHVR said in an interview that Strahd was the original plan for the DnD killer but was changed to vecna as to not be too similar to Dracula, which I believe is what the original comment is complaining about
@@user-iz3mk6ni4sThing is they shouldn't have even used Vecna for the dnd character. While a lich is a cool idea, Strahd is way more iconic and fits in the setting. Also even though Vecna was in the Ravenloft setting for a time I still think Azalin would have been a better fit for dbd than Vecna.
I don’t like the killers having multiple powers but being not “great” at any of them. Like Vecna or now Dracula I prefer one specific power and that’s it , like the chainsaw or hatchets.
Who's Excited for DRACULA!?
Kris Tyson
Me!
How about we start this conversation with a „i feel…“ statement.

I'm Re-Installing DBD for him
The mori looked boring at first, but the moment Dracula pulled out the wine glass; Instant 10/10
Fr, though i wish it was idk- more brutal with a combination of classy but the wine glass fits.
Now instead of boop the snoot, It's pet the doggo
And pat the bat?
@@jjacademygaming9453the bat can't see you though :(
Yes I can’t wait!
Wolf model looks really good. The transition from wolf to vampire when picking up a downed survivor is also nice.

He says that line in the loading screen

Dracula seems like it’ll be fun for sure. At the moment I don’t know where he’ll be in the tier list, but he looks quite versatile. Great video :)
You can m1 out of bat so you can spirit hit in bat for if you can locate them unseen.

Forgot to mention Demogoron for similarity to his wolf. A charged dash attack that can even break pallets. That's Demo.
They should increase the wolf howl time to make it sound like a proper howl

Yeah, you’re right. You are dumb for planning on quitting a game over a Mori.
Probably when they release him to the public they will make his forms have a time limit before you go back to default
My first thought was "Not a Dracula vs bully squads?" And now I see it's already uploaded aswell xD
Fair :3
Sweet, they made dracula pretty good! nice gameplay as always.
I like how the new killers have multiple mechanics, so killers don't feel all the same

A miserable pile of secrets.

You just know D3ad is gonna be super deadly with this one 💀💀
„Don’t fix the game. Don’t remove the bugs, bring in new licensed characters to earn lots of money and introduce more bugs.“ -BHVR, always.
this is very awesome i can see this killer being very overpowered very soon
Ya the wolf is insane..
I love it though 😍
Feels like a cross between Dredge & Wraith. Love it.
i bet a lot of survivors gonna bet all their hook stages to pet the wolf 😂😂
🎶 it’s me, hi. I’m the problem it’s me 🎶
This killer is absolutely AMAZING! Seems so much fun to play with it!
Solid B tier killer
One thing they really need to change is the movement speed when you're in wolf form and how far a basic lunge goes
I do think one thing that could balance Dracula (and this is coming from a killer main) is that he should have more timers to his ability. Like, he should be able to stay in his different forms for 2 minutes or something like that, but then enventually he must return to his default form and then his different forms have cooldowns.

I think Dracula looks super fun and I love killers that can do more than 1 thing with their power, but might be a bit clunky. Seen very mixed opinions on his actual strength and people saying he's a bit too clunky (similar to PTB Vecna)
I'm immediately thinking pyramid head power creep. Am I wrong?
no,it s literally PH s power with different color
@@igorazevedo7088 does the flames go through walls?
PH’s attack goes through walls and he bypasses endurance with his trails. Pyramid Head is going to be very comfortable where he is for a long time.
It's more like a worse Nemesis tentacle but without the infection mechanic (which is also buffed in the same PTB). Doesn't go through walls, doesn't break pallets and has travel time while slowing you down a lot for using it, making it a good tool but risky. Keep in mind Survivors are also there to see new things and mess around rather than counterplaying him as if he was in the live game for a month already.
Is that Alucards voice from hellsing 😫😫😫
Wow thats cool how they added alucard in this game, I love hellsing
how actually survivors can escape from him

Couldnt wait for your upload on him, cant wait to Watch it!
Just imagine weaved attunement, Franklins hoarder and human greed
I like this guy's accent. He says totem funny.
Great killer with a fun power for both sides. His power makes chases fun again not like Knight or Skull Merchant that are heavy anti loop killers.
We’ll see how long it takes before you change your mind.
Bro human greed will be such a good counter to shack

wolf to attack and bat for mobility amazing killer top tier for sure
damn i didnt know this was spookyloopz
The hellfire attack is so similar to pphead's punishment
the wolf shapeshift is the only cool thing about this killer and they could ve made the wolf look even better / more realistic tbh
His wolf form seems kinda good but I honestly don't think survivors are able to pet him, that is if BHVR had already confirmed that interaction

Wesker spirit and pyramid

Dominance and Plaything sounds nasty

bats: spirit
fire: pyramid head
wolf:... chucky/ Mastermind?
You can hugh tech with the wolf form
Okay, this is one of the coolest killers yet.
He seems really strong already, but it's definitely a missed opportunity by not having a blood related power like the Oni.
