How would you fix Dracula

What i mean is Draculas vampire form. Pretty much wolf form is better in almost every way so how would we balance out vampire form. I think hellfire should destroy pallets and maybe a speed boost after a hit like he is drinking the blood and gaining strength. What so you think?

    I wouldnt change anything about him other than his iri addons. The ring that makes your hellfire supposedly home in, does barely anything for an iri level addon. If anything the hellfire pillars should be widened with that addon to allow it to simply be easier to get hits with as is the current purpose but its not good at.

    And alucards shield currently is an addon that costs the most, doesnt do anything the entire game, and then turns out to be a funny lightshow for people on the way out because the only conditions in which youd get any value from the addon is if you are chasing an injured survivor to the door without anyone else to body block. Otherwise they just dodge it all or crawl through or heal tech eachother etc. A buff could be that if anyone gets hit by a hellfire pillar in the exit gates - they get blocked like springtraps purple bag addon, thatd atleast make it threatening for all the value u throw away by bringing it.

    Aside from that cube of zoe is another addon that sounds great - does nothing. Ive seen every person that tried to get value out of it fail to do so. Maybe it can spawn random pillars around all generators when one gets finnished instead.

    The shield add on is my personal favorite. It makes for a fun little surprise for the survivors at the end and I think i got my favorite killer ever with it. I was chasing a survivor with my bat. I transformed into a vampire and sliced them. They got their burst of speed and ran right into a pillar and went straight into the mori.

    I know Drac is pretty powerful I think I just need more practice with the hellfire.

    Dracula is perfect the way he is now.
    He, alongside MANY killers, needs perks tailored specifically to him and an add-ons pass like Freddy and Pyramid Head.
    One of his Iri's should remove his Shapeshift and compensate with something unique and the other should turn Hellfire into Dark Inferno.

    As for vampire form feeling weak, he is supposed to be 3 killers in 1 just each of his 3 forms are weaker then the killers he is emulating. Vampire form is like a nemisis with much longer cooldown , but an added bonus of being able to shoot through short objects that nemis whip could normally be crouched under to counter.

    His wolf form is a weaker wesker with no infection, no throwing, no double hit slamming, and less control over the 2nd dash, but with a bonus of passive scent orb tracking of running survivors, and not very noticeable speed boosts and blood trails.

    His bat form is a weaker spirit as it makes allot more noise while in the form which dampens your hearing of survivors, cannot immediately attack out of the form, and can still be seen/heard from survivors. But with a bonus of teleportation to vaults, not having a timer, and a short cooldown to switch back to the form.

    Combine all 3 of these in 1 chase and you have the wolf having advantage out in the open until the target reaches pallets / windows, then switchss to a form capable of hitting through them, and even a form to switch to to make up lost distance if the target gets too far. And you will have a killer that adapts to nearly any situation.

    Using 1 form most of the game is not recommended. As they only have to use 1 type of counter rather than adapt to all 3 of your forms.

    It may also help to learn Nemisis / Pyramid head as their m2s are combined to make hellfire, its got slightly less of a detonation delay than pyramid heads attack, and slightly more distance than nemisis whip (unsure if t3 whip is longer)

    I also happen to have dracula at p100 so i guess i could say hes one of my mains lol

    He's already overpowered and the personification of power creep, one of the worst designed killers in the game. He doesn't need buffs.

    you contributed so much please do not sell yourself short <3

    as regards the original post, I am pretty sloppy with Drac but that's on part to lack of experience and skill issue using him. He is still quite strong and the only changes that he possibly needs are to his addons, especially the Iri ones as someone mentioend above

    Dracula is in a good spot rn he does not need buffs the only thing I think on him that is garbage is his Cube of Zoe addon

    Only 10 seconds of hellfire pillars in exchanges for a Gen at least make it 30 seconds bruh

    I consider Dracula to be in pretty good spot…

    He is strong killer, but definetly has room for missplays. I usually enjoy playing against him, unless he just holds his power and walk me down…
