Make Hellfire more interesting

i think the wolf and bat forms are really cool but the base dracula form is just so lame compared to other killers. I really think it just needs one tweak that would keep it a similar strength but seperate it from killers like nemesis and pyramid head.

One suggestion i have is to make it so you can curve the hellfire pillars. I dont know how itd be done mechanically maybe you could set it to preset curves or control the pillars themselves with some key, but pyramid head and nemesis already have the straight line projectile what if you could have one you do weird things with without having to stop moving to control it like pinhead or something

Feel free to give other suggestions on how to make hellfire stand out slightly more because i just think its a really boring ability that doesnt have anything unique about it besides that it doesnt have any of the interesting/fun aspects of olther projectile killers

    that his iri add-on. it is suppose to allow you curve the hellfire pillars by tracking survivor on screen. it is just that i am not sure that iri add-on works properly and it has negative of reducing pillars by +1 which indirectly is negative to his green add-on that increases his charge time by 25%. both of these add-on would just be better without negatives.

    Auto tracking is a bit different though.. I think the hellfire just needs a decent rework to be slightly more interesting without making it crazy strong

    I disagree. I have a lot of fun with Hellfire because it is much uniquer than players pretand. There are many situations where you can hit a survivor that neither Artist, Pyramid Head, nor Nemsis would get. Meanwhile, there are tiles, loops, and other things where Artist, Pyramid Head, or Nemsis can get a hit but not Dracula's Hellfire. And then we have situation where either all of them or three or two of them would get a hit - e.g. when a survivor dropping from a window, Nemsis, Dracula, and Artist can get a direct hit with their powers while Nemsis and Dracula can abuse the little bottom hole on Saloon's shack to get a surprise hit. I think this is more than fair and makes everyone of them much more uniquer than many players might think. It makes a lot of fun to test on which tiles, loops, and everything else you can hit a survivor with hellfire. Of cause, they are similar but still unique in their own way. Two of many example:

    In the end, every player has a different opinion about what is fun and what is not fun and I think it is okay when we have a different opinion about how fun Hellfire is. Your suggestion with a curving Hellfire could become an Addon to make it more unique. Currently his Ring Addon adds a little bit of autoaim to Hellfire but this Addon is rather weak and does not help with learning Hellfire. So reworking this Addon into something that you suggest could be good to make it more unique.
