You're racing through the Villainville streets on the way to... I don't know. Dracula's evil Villainville lair, I suppose. Zombies will spawn continually to chase after you, and unlike most horror movies, these guys are not slow and shambling. They also don't do a lot of damage on their own, but they tend to surround you in packs. Having a hero that has an AoE attack helps tremendously to make sure you don't get walled in by a crowd of them and whittled down.
The occasional mummies can both hit you and shoot you from further back with a laser eye beam. They do heavier damage than the zombies, and so they're a priority to take out. |
Dracula is a very popular, extremely forgiven, and positively enemy swamped Mission. If you love wave after wave of easily defeated bad guys, Dracula is the Mission for you. On the plus sides, all those bad guys drop a lot of healing food, even if a person or two dies, it is still extremely easy to get Adamantium, and the Mission is only a 2 stage Mission. Dracula attacks, fittingly, with waves of zombies, beam shooting mummies, and hoards of bats. Aside from the mummies, none of it's very hard to take out. |
Dracula isn't too tough. He'll hit you, he'll turn into a bat swarm to do minor damage, he'll hit you with an eye stare that slows you down, and he'll summon a group of zombies to help do more damage. He has one big attack to watch out for is his Lord of the Vampires attack. The area around him will turn red, and he'll levitate in the air, where he'll release a burst of energy or magic. It does heavy damage if you don't get away from him when he starts to rise up... just be sure not to go too far, since he's also vulnerable for a few moments after he does it.

The big thing to watch out for in this Mission is that the enemies continually, and rapidly, respawn. It's not unusual for the mummies and zombies to respawn up to 3 or 4 times after you've defeated them once. Don't assume you can look away from the computer during this Mission for even a moment, since it's highly likely you'd come back to find yourself dead. The End Stage 1 is no different here than any of the rest of the stage. A few mummies, a couple of swarms of easy-kill bats sweep in, and plenty of respawning zombies. Just keep at it, grab food if you need it, and knock them all out. |
Attacks and Cues
When he says "Gaze Into My Eyes." - Spin attack, hitting all nearby heroes multiple times.
When he says "To Me, My Mummies" - Summons a couple mummies to rise up from the floor and fight.
When he says "Face the Claws of Dracula" - He jumps to a target and swipes them with his hands. Minor damage, and hard to avoid this attack.
When he says "Bad News for You" - Throws his newspaper at a target for damage.
When he laughs - Turns into a swarm of bats, doing minor damage. You can still hit him in this form.
When he says "No One Defies the Lord of the Vampires" - Surrounded by glowing red rings, Dracula levitates into the air, then releases a heavy damage burst of magic to those nearby. He's vulnerable for a few moments after this attack.
Playing Tips
- When playing Dracula solo, it's best to bring a hero that has an AoE move, so you don't get pinned in by packs of roving zombies.
- Try to get behind the mummies and take them out fast. With their eye beam lasers, they do wide-spread damage.
- When you see Dracula start to levitate and the red rings appear around him, get away! This is his single most damaging move!
