Dracula
Location(s)	Master's Keep

Dracula is a tier 3 boss found in the Master's Keep.

Moveset

In 1+ BSC, Dracula goes straight to the second phase.

Dracula has different moves that he can teleport in between, immediately starting an attack after the teleport has finished.

First Phase

Fireball volley

• Description: Opens his cape and fires three waves of fireballs, with different possible patterns. One with 3-5-3 fireballs that are in a straight vertical line, and one with 5-5-5 fireballs.
• Can be blocked, parried or dodge rolled.

Beatdown

• Description: Does a hand to hand combo of two low kicks and a downward punch. The punch will be cancelled if the player moves too far away.
• Can be blocked, parried or dodge rolled.

Meteor volley

• Description: Opens his cape and fires 4 meteors in a row with a high-low-high-low pattern.
• Can be blocked or parried.
  • Getting hit or parrying the attack causes the player to get knockbacked depending on how fast the projectile was moving.

Phase Transition

Bat volley

• Description: During his phase transition Dracula teleports to the center of the arena and summons bats in a wave pattern in both directions.
• Can be blocked or dodge rolled.
• Has wave pattern, therefore can be avoided by standing in certain place.

Second Phase

Retains all attacks from first phase.

Fire wave

• Description: Replaces Fireball volley. Opens his cape and fire short range firewalls in an upwards arc pattern, which explode after traveling for a bit.
• Can be blocked, parried or dodge rolled.

Leech

• Description: Teleports into the air and dives down onto the player. When the grab connects, Dracula lifts the player up while dealing damage and healing himself.
• Can be dodge rolled.
• Ignores the effect of Ice Armor - grab breaks the armor and leech deals normal damage.
• Acts weirdly with Disengagement.
  • If grab triggers the Mutation, it will ignore the effect and still deal damage to the Beheaded.
  • If grab happens while the shield is active, Beheaded will survive and Dracula will heal.
• Can move the Beheaded outside the boss arena. This does not save from receiving damage, as Fireball volley goes through doors.

Phase Transition 2

Bat volley

• Description: During his phase transition Dracula teleports to the center of the arena and summons bats in a wave pattern in both directions.
• Can be blocked or dodge rolled.

Third Phase

Retains all attacks from first and second phases.

Fire pillars

• Description: Charges up before putting his hands on the ground, summoning pillars of fire spread across the arena floor.
• Can be blocked or dodge rolled.
