Tips and tricks for beating Dracula in Marvel Rivals Blood Hunt

Screenshot by Destructoid Dracula is one of the absolute roughest bosses you have to face in Blood Hunt, so even if you fully understand how his fight functions, you may still have some trouble with it. Here are the best tips and tricks you can use to get through it.

Dodge as many attacks as you can. It's usually not that big of a deal to take a bit of damage here and there in fights, but for this one, you really need to prioritize evading Dracula's hits. Every successful strike he lands adds to his stacks, which then work to heal him, thus prolonging the fight. If you aren't careful, this can lead to your team losing, so try as hard as you can to dodge.
In phase four, use the sunlight zone. It's easy to overlook since there's a lot happening in the fight at any given moment, but be sure to break the crystals that spawn on the ground to open the sunlight zone. Then, run into it, and quickly strike at Dracula after exiting. Repeat this process as many times as needed until you defeat him.
Try to save your Lifeline Serum for the final phase. In the last part of this battle, Dracula restores all of his health, so this is when you'll need those useful revives the most.
Communicate with your teammates. A lot of players have no idea that taking damage feeds Dracula's health, or that the sunlight zone grants powerful buffs, so now that you know these key details, try to share information with your allies. It's a lot easier to beat Dracula when everyone understands how the boss fight actually works rather than just trying to brute force your way through it.
Have a well-rounded team lineup. For this specific fight, having a few different types of characters is especially useful. In all other Blood Hunt battles, it doesn't matter as much, but here, it really helps. Try to play with a team of at least three or four different characters to have a better chance of success.

Now that you know how to beat Dracula, you can get to work earning those exclusive event prizes. You'll need to learn how to get the Kingpin Accessory and how to get Kingpin Dethroned Accessory Shards to claim the two biggest prizes in Blood Hunt.
