Alucard Overview: Who Is the Unholy King?
In Anime Adventures, Alucard refers to Dracula (Unholy King), a Secret Limited unit that stands among the most effective units in the game. He is flagged as a Meta Unit across Raids and the Infinity Mansion, and he is obtained exclusively by evolving the base Dracula unit — you cannot summon him directly.
He is a Ground, AoE (Circle) tower dealing Magic Dark damage, with three attack forms unlocked through upgrades: his base attack, Baskerville at Upgrade 3, and Nightmare Feast at Upgrade 7. His final upgrade grants the active ability Soul Restraint: Level 0.

Alucard, Dracula, and Dracula (Unholy King) are the same character line in Anime Adventures. "Alucard" is the community nickname based on the source character; the wiki lists the evolved form as Dracula (Unholy King).
Full Stat Progression Table
The Unholy King scales dramatically through ten upgrades. Below are his max-level (Level 100) stats per upgrade — note how his damage multiplies more than 30x from deployment to Upgrade 10.
| Upgrade | Cost | Damage | Range | SPA | Notable Unlock |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deployment | 2,000¥ | 12,885 (x2 shiny) | 20 | 9 | AoE Circle, radius 8 |
| Upgrade 1 | 3,000¥ | 25,771 | 22 | 9 | Spawn: 25,771 HP |
| Upgrade 2 | 3,500¥ | 42,522 | 23 | 9 | Spawn: 42,522 HP |
| Upgrade 3 | 4,500¥ | 51,542 | 24 | 8.5 | Baskerville, AoE radius 10 |
| Upgrade 4 | 5,500¥ | 77,314 | 25 | 8 | Hits: 1 |
| Upgrade 5 | 7,000¥ | 103,085 | 26 | 7.5 | — |
| Upgrade 6 | 9,000¥ | 115,971 | 27 | 7 | — |
| Upgrade 7 | 12,500¥ | 257,713 | 29 | 11 | Nightmare Feast, AoE radius 12, Hits: 3 |
| Upgrade 8 | 16,000¥ | 322,142 | 30 | 10 | — |
| Upgrade 9 | 25,000¥ | 354,356 | 32 | 9.5 | — |
| Upgrade 10 | 30,000¥ | 386,570 | 33 | 9 | Soul Restraint: Level 0, DPS ~42,952–100,222 |
Every upgrade from Upgrade 1 onward also spawns allied mobs whose HP equals his damage value — a built-in extra layer of lane defense that scales with his stats.
Alucard cannot hit air enemies with his own attacks. Only his Soul Restraint summons can collide with air targets, so pair him with anti-air coverage on air-heavy maps.
Soul Restraint: Level 0 — Active Ability Breakdown
When the moon turns red and the map is wrapped in bloody fog, the Unholy King releases all restraints and floods the lane from your base.
Summon Composition
- 20 total units per activation
- 15 Ghouls
- 5 Ghoul Riders with 2 hit bars each
Cooldown & Uptime
- 120s global cooldown
- Near-continuous summon pressure on long waves
- Summons inherit HP based on his damage
Damage Type
- Alucard deals Magic Dark damage
- Summons deal Physical damage
- Summons can hit air enemies
One quirk to remember: Ghoul Riders clip through enemies on their first hit bar, then collide on the second — so their effective blocking is slightly less consistent than raw numbers suggest. In the max-stat showcase, his summons spawned with roughly 1.8 million HP each, making them durable lane blockers in Infinite and Infinity Castle modes.
Because his summons deal physical damage while Alucard himself deals magic damage, he effectively covers two damage channels in one deployment slot — valuable against enemies with resistance to either type.
How to Evolve Alucard: Step-by-Step
Evolving Dracula into the Unholy King is a grind-heavy process. Follow this order to avoid wasted effort.
Obtain Base Dracula
Pull Dracula from his limited banner during his event window. As a Secret-tier limited unit, expect a low drop rate comparable to other Secrets.
Farm 5,000 Takedowns
Deploy Dracula repeatedly in Story, Raids, and Infinite modes. Takedowns count both kills and assists, so keep him on the field even in support roles.
Gather Evolution Materials
Collect the evolution materials required for Dracula's evolution, available through the update's event activities and farming stages.
Perform the Evolution
Use the evolution interface to convert fully-leveled Dracula into Dracula (Unholy King).
Reroll for SSS Damage
Trade or use rerolls to push his damage stat toward SSS for maximum endgame DPS — each success compounds his summon HP too.
At launch, the Unholy King was not yet tradeable. Drop rates are similar to other recent Secrets, so plan your resources before committing to a pull or trade.
Best Buff Team for Maximum DPS
Alucard is a Magic Dark unit, so magic damage buffs, range buffs, and SPA buffs all multiply his output. The showcase team reached 6.1 million damage every 3.7 seconds at 43.7 range with a full stack.
| Support Unit | Buff Provided | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Leafa | Infinite magic damage scaling | ★★★★★ |
| Brook | +15% damage | ★★★★★ |
| Oshi (or Sakura) | +10–12% damage | ★★★★☆ |
| K (range buffer) | Range boost for SPA window | ★★★★☆ |
| Pooi & Giz | SPA and range buffs | ★★★★☆ |
Recommended deployment order: set up Leafa's infinite buff first, layer Brook and Oshi/Sakura for percentage damage, then pop Pooi and Giz right before heavy waves so the SPA reduction overlaps with Nightmare Feast windows.
Since summoned Ghoul HP scales off his damage stat, damage buffs do double duty — they raise Alucard's DPS and make his Soul Restraint summons tankier.
Mode Performance & FAQ
| Game Mode | Effectiveness | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Raids | ★★★★★ | Meta-unit tier burst DPS |
| Infinity Mansion | ★★★★★ | Summons block lanes, hit air |
| Infinite Castle | ★★★★☆ | Physical summons cover his air weakness |
| Story | ★★★☆☆ | Overkill for most stages |
Alucard Mastery Checklist:
