I tried dracula multiple times

[Pay Child Suport]

already destroyed 3 armors from full durability just trying him. and the best I've gotten is reducing him to around 20% health. this is on normal difficulty. I wanna say I've gotten good enough but surely some won't.

my biggest gripe is how I don't have scholar blood. I'm just that unlucky.

my skill set: power surge that doesn't give me shield, ward of damned that heals me when i block projectile, violet reaper, chaos dash, brute 100% and an ult that i just can't use.

I dunno about changing my skillset now after all the tries I've gotten. I've pretty much nailed myself in this set

I haven't fully read some of his moves yet. most that I miss a lot is his dash + slash down and dash + thrust. I really need help on these two moves. otherwise:

wolf form: just walk forward towards him. even if the wolf jumps to your back just keep walking in the same direction. works every time.

two "sonic boom" blood blades: move right, then move left

room goes dark: just use WASD and don't be tempted to dodge. only use dodge when the room brightens and dracula attempts to grab you

teleports then throws two "axe" cyclone: no idea than just to press S (backwards).

smashes the ground and then 6 blood waves appear: stand behind him. hopefully you get to his back before the smash

stationary and does a sprinkler blood: since they're moving in clockwise/counterclockwise motion, walk the same way as you avoid the sprinkler. free melee hits along the way. when the whole thing ends use i frame or dash.

what worked for me ..... Great sword (crossbow is too slow. pistols work. might be ok with mace), Rogue blood (dash = crit), blood dash (heal) ... blood counter & frost counter.

Dash to evade / and hit him post dash to heal.

Counter if you can't dash escape something.

Idk about scythe and power surge, it's not exactly a weapon to use at melee range but rather good to hold enemies at range by pushing them away and throwing your scythe. You don't realy need to have a counter for the first phases, I'd switch it off and then while sucking the heart put it in again for the last phase.

This should help with reading his attacks, since this is low GS, low blood and thus the fight is much longer.

I've tried 80 vs 90 on Normal as well, and I've found out that in 86 vs 93 on Brutal Dracula still hits significantly harder than Normal.

Although your build is garbage, at 90 GS there should still not be any problem beating him.

If you still want to make your build work (I would scrap it), I'd swap chaos dash for either frost dash or blood dash, to either become tankier or heal even more.

so today I just beaten him "first try". it feels like dracula has much lower hp compared to before. was there an update?

the only change I did is power surge -> frost shield and amulet from yellow to green. double block helped on the things I can't avoid with just WASD, especially his dash + slash/thrust.

I only could kill him with 2 shields. Undead and frost.
With pistols and frost dash. I can do a small dash with the E ability, and forst dash add shield. I have a build all focus on health recovery. So brute 100% blood. Hard but it works.
First part I can pass 100%. Second part I have some problem if has so much crystals and then came the falling swords.
