Marvel Rivals Season 1: Dracula's Reign of Terror
Marvel Rivals, drawing from Marvel's extensive universe, introduces a diverse cast of heroes and villains. Season 1: Eternal Night Falls spotlights Dracula as the primary antagonist. Teaming up with Doctor Doom, Dracula manipulates the moon's orbit, plunging present-day New York City into chaos. This guide delves into Dracula's role and his sinister impact on the Marvel Rivals storyline.
Who is Marvel Rivals' Dracula?
Count Vlad Dracula, the iconic Transylvanian vampire lord, serves as the central villain in Season 1. His goal: to conquer present-day New York City.
Dracula boasts formidable abilities: superhuman strength, speed, stamina, agility, and reflexes. His immortality and regenerative powers make him a formidable opponent. He also commands mind control, hypnosis, and shapeshifting, adding layers of strategic complexity to his attacks.
Dracula's Role in Marvel Rivals Season 1
In Season 1, Dracula leverages the power of Chronovium to disrupt the moon's orbit, plunging New York into his "Empire of Eternal Night." This event unleashes a vampire army, causing widespread havoc. Heroes like Spider-Man, Cloak & Dagger, Blade, and the Fantastic Four must unite to counter Dracula's forces and save the city.
Marvel comic fans will recognize elements of the 2024 "Blood Hunt" storyline, where Dracula capitalizes on a sunless world to expand his dominion.
Will Dracula Become a Playable Character?
Currently, there's no official confirmation about Dracula's inclusion as a playable character. Considering Doctor Doom's villainous role in Season 0 without playable status, Dracula's playability remains uncertain.
However, as the main antagonist of Season 1, Dracula will significantly influence the season's game modes and maps. His prominent role makes him a strong contender for future playable character inclusion. This guide will be updated with any official announcements from NetEase Games.
