Marvel Rivals Season 1: Dracula's Reign of Terror
Marvel Rivals' diverse roster of heroes and villains expands in Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, with Dracula taking center stage as the primary antagonist. Teaming up with Doctor Doom, Dracula manipulates the moon's orbit, plunging a 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, is the main villain driving Season 1's narrative. His goal: conquer present-day New York City.
Dracula boasts formidable abilities: superhuman strength, speed, agility, stamina, and reflexes. His immortality and regenerative powers make him a formidable opponent. He also wields mind control, hypnosis, and shapeshifting, enhancing his manipulative tactics and adaptability in combat.
Dracula's Season 1 Scheme: Eternal Night Falls
In Season 1, Dracula leverages the power of Chronovium to disrupt the moon's orbit, plunging New York into an "Empire of Eternal Night." This darkness allows him to unleash a vampire army, wreaking havoc upon the city. Heroes like Spider-Man, Cloak & Dagger, Blade, and the Fantastic Four unite to counter Dracula's forces and save the city.
Marvel comic book fans will recognize this storyline's echoes in the 2024 "Blood Hunt" event, known for its intense, sunless vampire-dominated world.
Will Dracula Become a Playable Character?
Currently, there's no official announcement confirming Dracula's inclusion as a playable character in Marvel Rivals. Considering Doctor Doom's villainous role in Season 0 without playable status, Dracula's playability remains uncertain.
However, given his pivotal antagonist role in Season 1, Dracula's presence will undoubtedly shape the season's game modes and maps. His prominence makes him a strong contender for future inclusion as a playable character. This guide will be updated should NetEase Games officially announce his addition to the hero shooter.
