Dracula HeroClix Dial Playing Dracula
If you win map choice, be sure to pick a map with plenty of hindering terrain. Dracula can be every bit as deadly as his namesake, now if he’s getting shot up by ranged attacks, he’s going to drop quickly. Using his Stealth while position is an absolute must (I like to think of it as him staying out of the sunlight).

With Indomitable, Flight, Charge and Exploit Weakness at your disposal Dracula can easily damage the most Impervious of foes, and gain a clix of life in the process. Backing him up with some form of Probability Control is never a bad idea.

One successful attack will see Dracula gain Impervious giving him the ability to possibly reduce damage dealt to 0, and he’ll trade Exploit Weakness for Super Strength. Position Dracula and when the opportunity is right, go for the attack. Just try not to leave hindering terrain whenever possible. Don’t forget to add a mesmerize token to any characters you damage. This will give you the option to use Mind Control on those characters and is great for getting an Indomitable foe out of your face. 

If you manage to keep stealing energy, powers like Probability control and Hypersonic Speed will soon be yours. Now it’s a whole different ball-game.

I love this Dracula, I always pair him with Mole Man and if I’m too far away from my opponent I use the mind control to close the distance then I finish off with charge. If they are already in range Mole man give Dracula a second chance to use Steal Energy.

He can't use Shellhead.

The upcoming Fear Itself Dracula looks 10x Better

I think this awesome don't like the zero range but its workable prolly gonna put him on my 8000 point team

@Mantis Warrior: I'm not in love with Camouflage on him. He can only use it for three clicks (less than half his dial) and they're in the middle. It also only protects him from ranged combat attacks, not Outwit, which is what he really wants to avoid.

@ let; he's right it was ruled on back when indomitable started showing up.

This guys new best friend is Mole Man. Add a Composite Superman at 80 points and TK and you got yourself a winning monster theme team.

Mantis Warrior: You sure about that? My understanding is that Shellhead's prerequisite is a damage reducing power, not the defense combat symbol itself.

Yea, I have been leaving feats off my articles as they are no longer part of the modern game. However, going forward I think I'll include a #1 feat suggestion.

Posted by: Mighty Mouth on 2/28/2013 8:38:20 AM
@Mantis Warrior: The Feat Suggestions were something I added in to round out the article. Good catch on the Shellhead.

Nice Write up, thanks Eric. I'm looking forward to running the all vampire team you mention when my second vamp appears in the mail.

Feats-wise you can't give him shellhead because he is indomitable and the prerequisite is for the standard defence symbol. Camouflage however is a brilliant call. One of my top 5 feats in the whole game especially for tent poles who need their immunity from ranged attacks (though not immunity to outwit for camouflage rather than stealth)

This guy is super hard to kill. I played guy yesterday in a golden age tournament and he kicked the crap out of my wolf pack team. He used a lethal combo buy combining Dracula with mole-man from the galactic guardians set.

Good review, pretty balanced for the figure presented. To respond to the confusion over the starting on orange line click #4: In the mothballed game of Horrorclix, which had vampires in from the starter, most of those start on click #2 or #3 also. In many cases, they have the Horrorclix version of the power, Steal Energy, named (surprise!) Vampiric. (Works the same way as Steal Energy for the Horrorclix-impaired.) In short that feature in the design of this figure is not unprecedented.
