The Dark Lord, Weak or strong?

First of all, all I hear is Alucard from Hellsing and I love it. Secondly, I've been playing quite a few matches and I'm honestly still kinda torn on if Dracula is strong or weak. On the one hand, his wolf form is actually useful now and can be used in chased and his hellfire piller is actually fairly forgiving. The distance and hit box make it very easy to use, but it has issues going over certain obstacles that feel like the pillar should go over. This gives him a lot of answers to a lot of loops. His bat form is okay, but it feels needlessly restrictive with survivors being invisible and the lullaby being extremely noticeable.

Theoretically he should be at least B tier or low A tier. Primarily because his add-ons are EXTREMELY lackluster. His perks are also not particularly great unless used with specific, likely gimmicky builds. So yes, I think he's decent in the right hands, but I also think there is a hard limit to how effective he can be at higher level games.

    I don't know yet he feels kinda mid, however his two Iri add-ons are so hilarious and fun and kinda usefull it's pretty unique and fun.

    Probably one of the best unique add-ons in a long time that are not only somewhat usefull but interesting and fun! Love it.

    *Well I was mistaken, only one of his Iris are rly fun, that's the exit gate one with hellfire. The other one that I mean is very rare that creates also hellfire pillars around him. So funny haha.

    Its too late to say now, it could be the best way to play him has not been found yet.
    Im more into Bat/Hellfire than wolf still, Wolf just feels slow and weak expect in specific circumstances.
