How To Demonspawn for Dummies

No One Cares About Dracula :(

Knowing Dracula, The Demonspawn

First of all, ive seen a lot of people saying "hey, but that character is just crap, i used it until lv30 and its useless" well then, if youre one of those, please keep reading.

The Demonspawn is a class only possible to acquire if youve got all dlcs, so if you wanna make it worth, heres these weird steps to increase your chances of enjoying the class.

Abilites, and how to use them.

The Demonspawn may be weird to use at first, may be squishy and slow (like most classes at start)
but he has this ability kit SO BROKEN IT PUKES BLOOD.

so, let me introduce you guys to the absolute madness.

Level 1-12

before we start, this one is about magic... and magic, magic and magic, you know, when you think youve got enough magic, then ADD MORE MAGIC. (seriously just go full energy)

Gut Spread [passive]:
at level 1-12 its okay to level this up, since it does fair enough damage to 1-shot everything for free from alv3-8 (careful with the aims tough, since it shots 10 projectiles in a 360° arc)

Impale:
the only way youre ever getting more than 1 point on this its by mistake.
its only function is to knock up and stun LARGE amounts of enemies practically for free on periods of entire YEARS, it even works with bosses, this makes you nearly untouchable by melee monsters since you just knock them up and run away.

Level 12-24 (reset)

Mana Pool:
as soon as you unlock this, reset the character and level this up to heavens.

Blood Surge:
this thing can snipe enemies from THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MAP, its like having a sniper giant laser attached to your head, plus it deals damage 5 times in a lapse of 5 seconds which is the overall duration of the ability, making it 5x times more destructive than it seems at first, you can clean entire hordes of enemies with a lot of ease using this.
this is your bread and butter, with its low cost and cooldown it is practically your basic attack, but HOLD ON TO YOUR HORSES, before you level this up like crazy, you better keep reading.

Level 24-36 (reset)

Demonic Prescence [passive]:
remember what i told you about not leveling Blood Surge? this is why:
Demonic Prescence adds LOTS of damage to ALL your abilities for FREE!
so reset again, and go full on this one until it maxes.

Level 36-48
(put 1 point on all of these)

Mana Shield:
all damage its absorbed by mana instead of health, this can be really useful for a lv150{25} character or something, that has so much points on manapool and manashield it actually regens extra mana instead of consuming it, until then, dont use it unless you REALLY have to save your life (meteorfall attack from anubis for example).

Mana Devour:
theres no real reason to level this up more than 1 point, it just gives you a really low percentage of getting free mana when you deal damage, still that gain is very low so... it aint worth.

Blood Demons:
these little buddies can save your life in very specific situations like a monster bashing into you and getting caught in them while being low on Health or something like that, so get 1 point on these and leave them to stay around you for extra damage (remember the synergy with blood surge).


Level 48+

Manacalypse:
this is literally a mix between Karthus (leage of legends character) ultimate and azazel's passive (from binding of isaac), agamenon would s**t himself, it transforms ALL your mana into damage and deals it to EVERY SINGLE MONSTER ON THE SCREEN, this is the most broken abilty in the entire game, you just kill them with your mind, just because you wanted to, JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN.
so if someday youre trapped, with no escape more than a sure death, MASH ON THIS BIG GUY AND CLEAN THE ENTIRE MAP, YOURE NO LONGER A SERVANT OF DARKNESS, F**K THEM ALL UP!! (sorry, i got a "little" carried away on this one)
plus, each level you get on it grants you another x1 of your mana, so your equipment will be enough for you to level this hability, its not needed to waste points on it if youve got good enough equipment.

What to do and When

once you reach lv48+ what youre going to do is just go ahead and get Manapool on 20 so you get to regen a fair amount of mana, then max blood surge, so the next thing you max is manapool and then go for manacalypse, or if youre one of those that likes safety, go on for manashield.

when you get around lv90 you should get a good equipment or you WILL REGRET IT, this character is useless if he doesnt have enough energy/mana/magic/****/alien oxygen, aswell as it is a GOD once youve got around 8000+ mana on him.

its secondary attributes to take in count are:

armor: it goes well reducing the damage mana shield will take, so you dont waste that much on protectng yourself.

Movement Speed: you must dodge, or you must die, theres no way you can go tanky with this one unless youre ultra high level.

everything else can also go well (as in any character) but arent THAT good.


also i wanted to say sorry about the screwed up images, i seriously dont understand whats wrong, its all good inside the code, ive written lots of posts on other platforms before and this has never happened, i guess steam forum its crazy or something.

There is absolutely no point of leveling mana pool, only if you want to loose some skill points. You can have high mana leech from a weapon, it gains you mana faster then a mana pool ability and such weapons are dropped every time. Better to lvl up Manacalypse because it will have much higher damage which means, that it will suit their role better.

demonic presence has changed from a set amount to % dmg so you dont need to redo anything if you dont want. basically for everyone wondering is. keep lvling up your base skill for dmg and max dp when you can or want as its not good for early game when your not doing a ton of dmg like it used to be now its better for long run when your hitting for millions. its a must for end game since the amount from % based increases will be much higher then it is if a flat dmg.

@cool1spreader
its nice to know, i guess ill reinstall the game and re-level it up to see how it works now.

[General Glitch]

This needs to be updated - they changed the demonic presence ability.

@Marian
from Lv130+ you should consider going for a manacalypse build.

DS needs a rework he scales so bad in late game
used to play him before they reduce stats scale on items, had 32k ene and the dmg was horrible

[Zedzee]

not bad, but I prefer perfer to max Mdevour then Mshield
