Dracula Pallet Interactions are Boring

[HavocTheMushroom]

You either pre-drop or instantly get hit via flame beams. You can't dodge, like Nemesis or Alien. It's just...boring. There's no mindgame, just pre-drop like a comp lobby or die. It's super dumb. Anyone else feeling this way?

[Nyarlathotep]

Dracula's flames are really narrow and he moves slow while charging. Like 3.8 speed compared to surv's 4. they aren't hard to dodge.

[Raft]

u definitely can dodge dracula's hellfire.
do not predrop.

[Nyarlathotep]

Basically to avoid Hellfire don't get stuck in any kind of animation around a Drac in vampire form.

[AthenasWingGrrrl]

Yeah, I pretty much agree. He may be fun to play as, but find him boring to go against. A lot of the more recent killers are like that.

[Wezqu]

Just loop him around tall walls and his flames are useless.

[Oodanna]

rather than being op or uncounterable, he's just annoying (mostly in the scenario where 90% of the loops on the map can be shot over with flame pillars)

[Crazy muffin]

Play against him like you play against a pyramid head and you should do well.

That would involve learning to change up their playstyle depending on the killer, and that's a bridge too far.

You can dodge them, unless the killer is using the addon that makes hellfire track you.

even that addon is currently bugged right now and only functions to shorten the pillars

how would that addon even be made fair, unless its used on short loops to prevent backtracking. it feels like that addon could easily become way too strong or way too weak based on how hard the tracking is

In the ptb, it's "tracking" is the ability to move slightly to the side, changing it's angle if you weren't 100% on point. It's not going to swerve 45 degrees and chase you across the map; it's got less length, and makes the pillar dangerous in more of a cone rather than a straight line.

I think you're right, that's how to not get on some of them. It's always a gamble if they fake or not and go for the M1. Mostly it's just situations where you're locked in between two walls on some tiles and can't strafe out of the way after a missed stun or similar.

It's not terribly powerful, but from what I can see it's very good in specific pallet situations. Again, mostly those niche cases where you're in a tight space

[Addams]

yeah him and alien are just brain-dead gameplay when it comes to pallet / window

[Locomotion]

I agree, I hate such powers! I love it when devs release such killers against which pallets are useless, maybe they should be removed altogether then?
