Marvel Rivals Season 1: Dracula's Reign of Eternal Night
Marvel Rivals boasts a vast roster of Marvel characters, and Season 1: Eternal Night Falls spotlights Dracula as its primary antagonist. This season plunges New York City into chaos as Dracula, alongside Doctor Doom, manipulates the moon's orbit. This guide details Dracula's role and influence within the game's lore.
Who is Marvel Rivals' Dracula?
Count Vlad Dracula, the infamous Transylvanian vampire lord, serves as the main villain in Season 1. His goal: to conquer present-day New York City and establish his Empire of Eternal Night.
Dracula possesses formidable abilities: superhuman strength, speed, stamina, agility, and reflexes. His immortality and regenerative powers make him a formidable opponent. He also wields mind control, hypnosis, and shapeshifting, granting him tactical advantages in combat.
Dracula's Role in Season 1: Eternal Night Falls
In Season 1, Dracula leverages the power of Chronovium to disrupt the moon's orbit, plunging the city into darkness. This "Eternal Night" allows him to unleash his vampire army, creating widespread havoc. Heroes such as Spider-Man, Cloak & Dagger, Blade, and the Fantastic Four must unite to thwart Dracula's plans and save New York City.
Marvel comic book fans will recognize this storyline's parallels to the 2024 "Blood Hunt" event, known for its intense, vampire-centric action.
Will Dracula Be a Playable Character?
Currently, there's no official announcement confirming Dracula's inclusion as a playable character. Considering Doctor Doom's absence as a playable character despite being Season 0's antagonist, Dracula's playability remains uncertain.
However, given his central role in Season 1's narrative, Dracula's presence will heavily influence the season's game modes and maps. His importance makes him a strong contender for future inclusion as a playable character. This guide will be updated should NetEase Games make an official announcement.
