Is dracula op?

[★ Møndhirsch ★]

Definitely not.

[RenéeBeGaming]

Nope

[Raft]

No.
But he is fun.

Wolf.
Bat.
Dracula's hellfire.

His gate hellfire addon especially when combined with blood warden.

His perks are... idk.

trapper is op

I think he is a character that takes more skill to use. If you get into the quick changes, and master flicking the hellfire thing, he is pretty strong. But he's not a Nurse or Billy rival. More akin to Oni to Plague on a good day. Not weak.

I suspect his lack of power without more time spent learning him, will keep the numbers of Dracula low. In a way like Vecna. There is power there, but it takes skill and effort to use it. And why would people do that when others like Wesker are easier to use, or Blight and Nurse, and Oni and Plague more powerful, for less input.

He's a good addition. The wolf and bat are something new, and it mixes it up. I guess there is a lot of potential for future changes, within all that.

The only issue I take with Dracula thus far is the wolf form. I don't think it has any drawbacks and it makes me wonder why any Dracula ever goes into vampire form. It's the same speed (faster once it picks up scent orbs), it has a pounce attack capable of breaking pallets, it's very hard to see around loops, it sees scratch marks and blood pools easier. I'm just curious why you'd ever go into Vampire form if you have all that indefinitely at the push of a button. The fact that the wolf can also M1 on top of all this is kind of ridiculous. I'm not sure I'm ready to call it overpowered at this point, but I do think the wolf form is extremely strong to the point of deterring players from even using the vampire form.

I feel like he's OK at several things, but not great at anything. I'm really struggling vs good survivors with him. Thing is, his hellfire charge up is so long, and slows you down so much even if you don't commit to it, that survivors can just continue looping pallet locations. It requires a serious misplay from a survivor for you to get any use out of hellfire.

I rank him B tier. High or low, I don't know. I don't find him interesting however, because his powers are a weaker variation of 3 different killers (Wesker, Spirit, and Pyramid Head).

New Nemmy is op, overbuffed like HillBilly

Not OP. Just about right. The whip was a second chance handed on a silver plate with a golden spoon. A free burst of speed. Btw; that hindered effect still does not affect the chase times much if survivors connect loops.

But that range extension tho. When hit, it's orgasmic!

Wolf seems extremely weak with the "speed buff" BHVR introduced after PTB to be barely noticable, I think he is very weak but if they allowed you to control your dashes then he would be extremely good though then he'd basically just be wesker

Hellfire is by farrrrr his best ability being able to cut off so many loops, it has great ranged, a barely problematic delay and isn't super easy to dodge (unlike pyramid head)

Bat form is a hit and miss, Being able to travel around the map is really nice, Not being able to see them is pretty dumb especially since bats have echo location which literally what they use to find food at night but ey what evs. The massive terror radius is a "get ready here i come" sign but the teleporting feature is extremely strong

Overall He is an "alright" killer though he needs a bit of tuning

[Broccoli & Cheese]

Isn't it a bit too early to say a new killer op?

[Nyarlathotep]

Nemesis's hinder lasts longer but they nerfed it hugely so it's only like a 5% hinder. Basically not even noticeable at all. It's basically a pointless change that had zero effect on gameplay.

The only reason people are noticing Nemesis more is because more people are playing him now.

[Fierce1]

No. Not even close.

His hellfire power can be blocked by walls making it unpredictable as to what it goes over and what it doesn't. Hesitation can be costly just as much as firing too eagerly.

His wolf form is not nearly as fast as they make it out to be. The pounce feels more useful as a means of closing the distance than an actual attack.

His bat form doesn't even have an attack. Hell, I say they allow the bat form to inflict deep wound as an attack. It can't down anyone but at least it'd have some use to it given the trade off is not being able to see anything beyond blood and scratch marks.

Main reasons to swap to vampire form are anti-loop (being able to shoot over low walls and pallets can get downs you wouldn't get with wolf) and because Hellfire and Pounce are on separate cooldowns. You can use one, swap forms, and use the other for the second hit if necessary.
