Heās so shining he blinds all the summoners who dares face him
Got the Vampire Scion. Alucard = a very fast costume. Gormek on steroids +++
- Very powerful against minions (using on offence)
But - take away the minions, he loses half of his impact. (Facing on defence)
Smart hero design !

Good points.
Alucard is a conditionally strong heroā¦.take away the minions, his impact reduces.
He is needed, seeing the crazy powerful minions being introduced into the gameā¦.with high HP & Attackā¦

Waterpipe is coming soon, so I guess alucard is very useful against him.

All the people cried for a nerve when Hulda appeared. Sooo strong. But as we saw Hulda is only situational. Not really strong defense hero. Completely the same here with Alucard. On defense okay, on attack a real perfomer. We will see no nerve here because itās not needed. At the moment i see only one real OP hero in the current meta and thatās Khufu. A real destroyer on defense.

I guess part of my confusion is folks who really, really didnāt want to see Hulda or other summoners/summoner tanks nerfedā¦.
ā¦but now there exists a hero whose very existence makes summoner tanks non-viable to the extent that heās a potential attacker. (And as a seasonal hero, presumably somewhat more common in the field than, say, Hulda.)

Very fast with potentially 90% heal and 27% mana gain in addition to all that other stuff is pretty heavy
Guess they needed more anti-W3K heroes
This one is a great hero, just like he is! No nerf needed.
On defense, you will not encounter him except maybe in undead horde war format. Just checked the global top-50 and only found him in 2 defense setups. W3K, Styx and S5 still dominate these defenses.
Against these heavy-minion-spawner comboās, he will be great!

Alucard is dated given Anne. He needs a buff

More will come thatās just who got it first day had feeders to power level, mats emblems and aether ready to go in a day, a small portion of all future owners
Well, just checked again, and Anne (released only yesterday) is showing up much moreā¦
New meta for def seems to be 3x purple (Bastet, G Panther C, Hawthorn) combined with 2x yellow (Rhys, Penolite, Anne). Red has no place thereā¦
Just hoping he will not get nerfed. As indicated by someone, Anne already makes Alucard seem like a wanna-be hero.

They are 2 completely different heroes.
Offensively against minions he is amazing.
Hulda was in the shadow of Xenopold for way too long.
Defensively she is amazing. Her minions are buffy and need a lot of damage to be destroyed.
Comments like these make me wonder how some people see and play this game.

I think Alucard is a well balanced hero. In the right situation with minions he is phenomenal. Faced a couple of Huldas with Luiās and Alucard destroyed every minion and dropped almost 1k worth of healing on each member of my team and 1/4 mana. I literally left the minion makers till last and took everyone else out instead of my usual tactic to take them out first.
Without minions he is a decent vfast hit 3. Which isnāt bad at all in a pinch. Maybe not my first pick to take to a non-minion fight. But easily a second/third round pick in wars for fast damage and clean up hits after someone else hit.

Indeed. Just pointing out he is not OP at all compared with the newer heroes.

I definitely donāt think alucard should be nerfed, but it is a little comical seeing everyone in here that pulled him trying to make out like he isnāt that good. Alucard would be the best v fast hero in the game without the minion removal effects. With them - my goshā¦ā¦
But nah, he is only decent and the minion removal effects are super niche, so please everyone stop pointing out how good this new hero I pulled is.
Full disclosure- I donāt have him yet and I am super jealous.

In an attack Team how would you pair him to have a team that can have a high win rate in 2700+ ?
My current team is Hypnos, Miriam/Midnight, Alucard, Ludwig(anybody you want here really), Hohenwerf. Having a lot of success even if there are no minion makers on opposing team.

This!
Iāve tried pointing out, ācompare Alucard vs zero minions to, say, Gravemakerā and yes I get that Gravemaker is hardly a huge mighty comparison any more but Alucard completely outside his niche is pretty arguably significantly better than Gravemaker ā and Alucard in his full-minion-munching niche is arguably better than pre-nerf Xnolphod!
I mean what, the argument now is āif Alucard isnāt as broken as Anne, then heās not a problem?ā What next, Anne will be argued to be ānot that OPā because some new hero special comes out āshatters crust of the planet under opponentās playerā?
