Dracula’s bat form
I am kinda worried about his bat form knowing he can’t see survivors but only there scratch marks. And I have a feeling survivors might run lucky break with iron will and off the record it will be a lot harder for Dracula to catch up to survivors

I mean if they are running all these perks and all are active you would be hard time catching up to them with any killer.

Bat Form makes Survivor footsteps louder as well. It's not written in the power description but it's there.

Bat form isn't really much different from Spirit phase power so I don't see any issue.

so don’t be in bat form the entire match. He has 3 different powers to cycle form. You gotta know when the best time is to use them.

Why are survivors running Lucky Break with Off the Record when those perks do nearly identical things?
Why are you pursuing a survivor who has Off the Record active meaning they were just unhooked?
And why aren’t you in wolf form which makes scratch marks darker & forces survivors to drop scent beads in a manner similar to Oni’s blood orbs?

Can they see the bats?

You have more than just the bat as an option , it's more for traversing the map than using in chase.

Bat form gives you the ability to chase survivors with increased speed, with minimal slowdown after leaving the form. So it's not quite as good as Spirit, but it's pretty good. It can ignore god pallets. The teleport can ignore a bunch of map traversal, which is nice. Especially when going upstairs. He's undectable, so his aura can't be read when moving around the map.
It's a really good form. So it's okay if survivors run three perks to make chasing harder. It's still a good form regardless. Plus he has two other forms to work with if one isn't that effective against a particular survivor.

Survivors can see the Bats and the Bats have a 48meter lullaby

Off the Record and Lucky Break don't really have any overlap in their effects though.
One hides Grunts of Pain, Auras and gives you Endurance. The other hides scratch marks and pools of blood.
Like, yeah, they're both stealth perks but they're not identical.

I wish BHVR would buff Lucky Break. I'd run it, if it's recharge rate wasn't so stingy.

Didn’t OtR hide scratch marks at some point?

Nope. Never.
They never changed any of the existing effects. They just added Endurance on top of the other two.

yes they see a giant flying bat that wails like a siren so stealth is not a option for batform

one of things that is good on dracula is his ability to chase like spirit in bat-form, then when your near survivor you transform into wolf form and then m1 attack. that's kinda what i was doing in PTB Dracula. OP is right that if survivor do run Iron will, it will make his chases less viable. I just played him like bad spirit because his other two forms didn't really do anything. I ran those bat teleport and bat range add-on so i could be more mobile. you can't really stealth anyone with the bat but you can follow people and hit them in dead-zones. if people drop pallets, just break them. it almost felt like playing an m1 killer.
Dracula form in ptb worked vs player that didn't shift-w pallets but i know the dracula won't really work vs good players on live server so i don't bother to learn strategies that only work vs bad players. The only problem with like playing bat-form spirit dracula is that he has really silly transformation cooldown of 5 seconds, so that can mess you up.

It doesn't seem to function all that differently to Spirit. You'll be fine. Use a different form, you have two other options.

Not to mention just how awful batform is for hard of hearing poeple such as myself. I still dont get why you cant see survivors in a form that doesnt allow you to damage people
