Alucard
  • Strengths: Can transform into a bat, allowing him to fly over obstacles and enemies, providing excellent mobility and evasion. His projectile attack is strong.
  • Weaknesses: His bat form consumes hearts rapidly, making it a resource-intensive ability. His projectile attack is slow.
  • Primary Attack: Fires a slow, powerful projectile.
  • Special Ability: Transforms into a bat (consumes hearts).
  • Sub-Weapons: He can use the Dagger, Axe, and Holy Water.

Playstyle: Alucard is a versatile character, offering both a strong projectile and flight. Use his bat form to bypass difficult platforming sections, escape dangerous situations, or gain an aerial advantage against certain bosses. Be mindful of your heart count when using his bat form. His projectile is good for enemies that are difficult to approach. Switch to Trevor for more consistent damage or when hearts are low.
