So who is stronger/better? Vecna or Dark Lord?

I would say after these big PTB buffs it's Dark Lord. Less cooldowns, more versetile, can transform and cast fast, has better chase power as well.

    Before Dark Lord's buffs, it would be Vecna.

    Now? For sure Dark Lord.

    I definitely prefer Dracula... I hope he gets some good skins. I would definitely like to play him.

    But I am not some peasant to play with default skin :D

    We'll have to wait and see I feel. But if we are talking about who would win in a fight between the two it's easily vecna

    Now come to think of it…

    Isn't Vecna (outside of unique chests) just Dracula but worse atm? hhmm…

    I think he means in game tho.

    Buuuuut if we take this as a real fight, maybe Vecna, but not easily. Both have ways to one shot each other probably.

    Dracula is an undying incarnation of evil favored by the primordial force of Chaos that directly opposes God, as in capital G almighty God, beings that predate and transcend all others, Alpha and Omega type stuff, powers that would slap around any D&D deity.

    Wish can't kill Dracula any more than it can kill Vecna. It would either fail, because even Wish has limits, or it would backfire by operating in a completely different manner than just killing him. And he'd just come back anyway.

    Dracula definitely seems like Vecna but fun. Less cooldowns, better powers, more mobility, great aesthetics, higher versatility, and no built-in survivor counterplay. Also looks like a more faithful adaptation of the character, if you include Bram Stoker's depiction of Dracula as an aspect of him, as Castlevania pays homage to the original with respect.

    I still think that, while he is well represented, it would be even better if they just ditched the Wolf form entirely, as Castlevania's Dracula only transforms into wolf one time as an attack in only one game (Dracula X Chronicles) and outside of that he never transforms, and instead they could have the Bat form + more spells in Vampire form. I think that would have been the most faithful adaptation.

    I know you mention the original Bram Stoker's Dracula, but i still really want to play with Castlevania Dracula tho, not the original one…

    Besides, it would also have been the perfect chance to get a "fire" mage, as Dracula uses mostly fire spells in most of the games. Hellfire, Dark Inferno…

    But still, even with this, im still happy on how he turned out to be. I think that he is faithfully represented and once he hits live server with the Hellfire and Wolf form buffs, i'm going to main him like there is no tomorrow.

    Vecna. Vecna has better catch-up with fly and overall better burst mobility. Mage hand against most survivor is a reliable hit. His orb is better detection tool then Wolves orbs. Spawn skeletons onto the survivor is often reliable enough to either zone a m1 or get direct hit.

    Dracula will power-creep wesker.

    Bat-form is more consistent mobility than wesker's dash cooldown

    Wolves pounce has less charge time then Wesker's bounds and ever since Wesker's infection was nerfed, he doesn't get any m/s boosts from hindered. Wolf form gains passive haste.

    Vampire form has a ranged attack and can better deal with windows then Wesker''s vault.

    I do plan to somewhat main dracula because i don't like Wesker's balance. At the same time, i predict that playing vs strong teams as Dracula will prove to be difficult as I don't think he is powerful.
