So Dracula and the Entity walk into a bar...
While discussing the terms of his participation in the trials, Dracula muses to pit his best vs. The Killers under the Entity's control.
Which 6 do you put forward as the Avengers/Suicide Squad/Warriors of EntityRealm to represent all of DBD?

If the Entity is picking it's most dangerous and reliable killers:
Onryo (Psychically powerful, loyal)
Pyramid Head (Godly powerful, loyal)
Nemesis (Brute Force Power, Loyal)
Unknown (Weird Powers, Unpredictable) Sort of like an Ace in the hole.
Blight (Brute Force Power, Controlled, highly intelligent) depends how much agency the Entity gives him.
Oni (Trained Fighter, Extremely Strong, Smart, Rage Comeback mechanic)
Honorable Mention to Vecna, who tops everyone else in terms of power but is so untrustworthy I don't think he'd be good to have. The Entity could probably just airdrop him into most situations and they'll usually clear themselves out. Wesker is the same thing but with less power.

Shoot, that's a good one. This is assuming the Killers are allowed to function at their maximum potential, to flex their muscles, so to speak.
The Demogorgon ~ Not necessarily the creature itself, but the master that it truly serves. The Mind Flayer is a threat, seemingly, equivalent (if different) to the Entity itself. Throwing the Demogorgon into the fray may interest its Master.
Pyramid Head ~ I mean, c'mon, it's obvious.
Onryo ~ Since Onryo is from The Ring (and therefore Ringu) uhhhh, the lore gets crazy. We will say that.
Wesker ~ Genius tactician. Capable fighter and is imbued with multiple deadly (and helpful) viruses. The best of Umbrella. I'm keeping him as a tactical option, he's running the show and giving orders.
The Singularity ~ Once again, keeping him back to build up and analyze the situation. I think between him and Wesker, they've got the brains to cook up something absolutely diabolical. He's the true tactician here, as his machine mind can process information faster than any human.
Vecna ~ Adding in some versatility to the cast, Vecna brings a new element to contend with…magic. He's incredibly intelligent in his own right and is as resourceful as he is powerful.
I'd keep Myers and Blight in the wings as sub-ins. Myers seems to lean towards his "This is Evil itself given a human body and is therefore supernatural" iteration. That basically makes him impossible to destroy, as you can't destroy Evil. Blight is also extremely intelligent and could be a decent sub-in for Demogorgon.

Oni and Knight have to be in there for sure. Add in Deathslinger and Huntress, and fill out the rest with Blight and Hillbilly.

Discounting vecta for being extremely unreliable, i would send the most powerful for sure (pinhead, pyramid head and onryo)
For the other 3 spots i would pick knight and nemesis (unwavering loyalty) The last one i will go with nurse to cover mobility, but plenty would do.

At first I thought Pinhead could 1v1 Dracula, but Drac doesn't have a soul to torment, Onryo kills her victims by the 7-day curse, and that curse is basically the effects of being trapped in a well for 7 days, a vampire probably wouldn't be bothered by that. If Dracula doesn't fear anything, Freddy is out, it would probably have to be more practical killers, rather than supernatural ones.
I'd go
Trapper
Huntress
Deathslinger (Swap that metal chain harpoon for a wooden stake launcher, and it's over)
Knight
Nemesis
Wesker

Nemesis cannot be used since it kills only STARS and those who stand on this way.
Idk if Dracula dreams while resting in coffin. If so, then Freddy would be best.
Onryo and Spirit (which is also an Onryo curse) maybe are immortal and relentless but I'm not sure Dracula can be affected by them.
Pinhead is giving pleasure, so no, I think they would get along.
Piramidhead could expose Dracula and use his guilt against him. I'm pretty sure vampire have lot of guilt in him.
Hag with her hexes (honourable mention to wraith in his original lore for exactly the same reason).
Other on that I think Weaker/Singularity as other mentioned for developing strategy.
And some brute force: Trapper, Huntress, Knight.
And I would really love to see solo 1v1 Dracula Vs Dredge.

I think sometimes people forget how hilariously broken Dracula is. Even when you don't bring specific powers into it, this is someone that moves fast enough to essentially be invisible while also possessing the strength to crumple solid steel like paper (while heavily weakened). He's stronger than the strongest Killer, faster than the fastest, more durable than the most durable. And that's before you bring in the magic and reality-warping nonsense, the power to dominate souls, and the fact that literal Death is his employee of the month. The only way you 'kill' Dracula is with the Vampire Killer, and only a Belmont gets to wield that without significant consequences.
Someone said it in another topic, but Dracula is basically Super Satan in lore.

Heheheh, I was similarly ignorant, but as I looked into it more I realised just how cracked Dracula is xD
So much so it inspired me into thinking if Castlevania Dracula was faced with the proposition of serving the Entity in the trials, likely it would be something he would do out of boredom, and be more of a game where he limits himself to play for his own amusement...
However were such a thing to happen, I can imagine he'd want to test the Entity to see if its even worth his time xD
I'm enjoying reading the responses so far:
- Pyramid Head seems a solid choice, cause Pyramid Head.
- Wesker as the genius tactician is a shout.
- Singularity was a solid entry and well, especially as a backup to Wesker. Assimilating organisms to perfect his form... pretty terrifying potential.
- Spirit I feel is slept on... spirit of vengeance, who can't be killed and can phase in and out of reality... unchained from the Entity's limitations, I think she'd be almost unstoppable.
- Oni similarly I feel is similarly limited by the Entity. I imagine he has effectively limitless potential based on the amount of blood he absorbs.
- Huntress I feel brings a utility to the team. While outmatched in raw power by othwrs on this lost, her skill and precision wielding hatchets, combined with her tracking and survival skills, her experience assessing and bringing down intelligent prey, I can imagine bringing a more perceptive, alternative thinking mind to the group.
