Dracula definitely needs a buff

I r4 him because I loved the character. Its spooky session and he's looks amazing but the numbers are low for a r4 and can't do alot of cosmic matchups kinda of a bummer I dont post ever on here but Dracula needs more love such a iconic character and great design needs a buff when rebalance comes just trying get that out there hopefully @Kabam listens alot of players including me are passionate about the champ anyways I digress hope everyone have a great day

Theres few things that can possibly happen

1 he comes out and most people won't care,not even Kabam to a point of leaving him as he is with same lame excuse of "his performing as we intended"

2 he will come out and most people won't care and he will get buff next year

3 People will start to find more uses for him like they are doing with Maker and leader

There are 4 balance patches before before getting into him as Franken soo there is time for him to develop

his good in general but in the same way Joaquim Torres,not good enough to keep up with his class nowdays and doesn't have as much ultility to compensate the damage

Ragnaruk5178

No utility or damage

Geez you've already acquired him and R4.

I think he is slightly better than Joaquin since his damage source, degeneration is direct, which means that very little champs can mitigate degen

To be fair, Dracula had the unfortunate privilege of being the mystic that gets released after Nico so people thinking he’s dogshit was expected. He would’ve needed a buff regardless but expectations wouldn’t have been so high.

as a counterpoint. Dracula was nerfed pre-release so that he could be “More simple” as his creator mentioned during the livestream. “Daddylonglegs” in his deep dive also mentioned that Dracula had undying in his kit. Also when Count Nefaria was released no one said “Yeah but who cares? We have SCORPION!” They actually said “WOAH! Look at the regen! He brings something NEW and interesting to the game!” Dracula brings absolutely nothing. There is nothing that he can handle better than another mystic champion. His kit is built for Annihilus and not much else.

He was built for Deathless Thanos because even against annihilus he won't be that great

It'sworth noting that he wasn't nerfed before release, his kit was getting too complex because they gave him his degen on defense and it was getting bloated so they removed it before he was even playable.

Also he seems like a very solid deathless thanos counter

they also removed his undying (per Daddylonglegs) and it was implied that even more was removed because it was not needed. During the livestream it was stated “All of these things ended up bloating the kit” So it wasn’t just about defensive complexity. Technically that was how it was angled “Oh he’s just going to be a simple attacker” but part of the offensive kit which would have “Bloated” the kit was also removed. The result is that Dracula’s kit is lacking and does not fit the standard of a 2025 non-Nico Mystic champion.
