Dracula doesn't need a full addon pass, but his two iris and at least one purple needs serious work.

I think that Dracula has to have one of the worst set of two iri addons in the entire game (after PH gets his addons reworked). The good thing is that he doesnt need a "Pyramid Head level" addon pass, as most of them are pretty decent, but his two iridescent addons (Alucard Shield and Vlad's Ring) are absolutely terrible. I would also add his purple addon Cube of Zoe.

Cube of Zoe: Creates pillars of f around Dracula for 10 seconds when a generator is finished.

As you can expect, most of the time it will…. do absolutely nothing. It suffers from randomness from two sides. From one side, his effect activation depends more on survivors finishing a gen instead of you doing something, and if they finish it when you are not in a chase, you waste his effect completely. On the other side, even if it activates when you are in chase, the pillars are totally random. They can magically hit a survivor but most of the time the chase can go on as normally would, as the pillars will miss. Not really worth from a purple addon, i would even say that i would not put this addon on myself even if it was a brown.

Alucard Shield: Creates pillars of flame at the exit gates once opened.

It is an iri addon and an endgame effect so it should be strong, but again, the effect is very lackluster. Not only you dont have an addon most of the game but when it activates it has, again, a randomness effect with the pillars. The survivors can "maybe" get hit or they can just go in a straight line and not get hit at all. And if they are healthy, they can just…..get hit and escape, as it doesn't even block the exit gates or anything if they get hit by them. I have tried to combine this addon with some endgame perks like Terminus to at least have them wounded if they try to escape and most of the games the pillars did not hit at all. Hell sometimes the survivors did stay in the exit gate for some seconds and the pillars didnt even hit them. Honestly this could be a "troll-for-fun" brown addon.

Vlad's Ring: Hellfire home in the survivor but you lose one pillar.

Honestly, it has some home in effect, but the home in is…… negligible. Most of the time you hit with it, you were going to hit them anyways. Most of the time you aim at the survivor but he dodges, the pillars get dodged anyways. And not only the effect is lackluster but you are also nerfing yourself by removing one pillar of flame. Even if the nerfed effect were to be removed completely….it would still be lackluster for an iri addon. I can understand that the tracking cannot be buffed that much because it would lose the purpose of having to aim Hellfire and it shouldn't be completely unavoidable, but right now the effect is bad, even without the nerf.

I could also argue that Medusa's Hair went from the worst addon in the game in PTB, to one of the best addons, to a bit of a lackluster one from a purple. 3 seconds of 8% hindered is not that much and is mostly negligible, at least the duration could go to 5 seconds or something, but that addon at least is not that bad at the rest.
