Walkthrough

Defeat Count Dracula to complete the Assault.

• Count Dracula uses a number of TP moves.
  • Nocturnal Servitude: Conal Charm and turns targets into bats. Can be bound or slept with Repose, Lullaby, Sheep Song, or Yawn. Best to use AoE sleep/horde lullaby to get rid of shadows. This effect duration varies, sometimes the player would uncharm before Horde Lullaby even landed, others were around 3 minutes.
  • Wings of Gehenna: AoE damage. Removes shadows and causes knockback and stun.
  • Decollation: Physical damage.
  • Bloodrake: Single target large HP drain. Absorbed by 3 shadows. Can be anticipated by Seigan + Third Eye.
  • Heliovoid: AoE status effect drain; takes 1 buff from all people affected
  • Eternal Damnation: Gaze Doom
    • Having your back turned if he's facing you makes this move have no effect on you.
    • Use Holy Water or Cursna to cure status condition.
  • Nosferatu's Kiss: AoE drain (~300). TP drain and spawns a Cursed Doppelganger
• Cursed Doppelganger is a copy of the player with the most hate. Will retain gear and any buff (shadows, protect, shell, food) of the player, and will increase slightly in power (For example, Doppelganger'ed a SMN, and gained Double Attack)

Notes

• Count Dracula has ~21k HP.
• Players charmed by Nocturnal Servitude are turned into bats, and can be slept with Repose, Lullaby, Sheep Song, or Yawn. Bind also works well.
  • Sleepga and Sleepga II work.
• Eternal Damnation causes Doom to any party member in front of him, gaze effect.
• Count Dracula will create a Cursed Doppelganger of his current target when he uses Nosferatu's Kiss
  • Gravity gives Cursed Doppelganger a minor reduction to running speed.
  • Cursed Doppelganger does not have very much HP and can be killed quickly
• If Count Dracula's TP move is stunned it will use another after stun wears.
• Count Dracula is a Dark Knight, and will cast Drain-stat spells and tier 2 spells often
  • There is a big pillar on the left side of the map makes kiting extremely easy
• Count Dracula has very high physical damage.
