[1] Counter-attack after Dracula uses his Stomp, Molten Rocks and Flame Pillar

Stomp When Dracula uses his Stomp attack get close to him and he will be exposed for a brief moment.

Get Behind When Dracula opens his cape, get behind him, since he'll be occupied conjuring Molten Rocks, which leaves him open to an attack.

Counter attack flame pillar(1) When Dracula snaps his finger to conjure a Flame Pillar, Rose has a brief moment to attack him.

[2] Attack the fireball to destroy it

Attack Fireball

Rose can attack the fireball the Dracula shoots, effectively destroying it, making it easier to maneuver and get close to Dracula to attack.

[3] At half health Dracula is enraged

Enraged

If Rose managed to put Dracula into half health, Dracula will attack consistently and faster, his flame pillar now conjures 3 instead of 1.

[4] Stay away from the corner

Trapped

Stay at the center of the arena as much as possible, because if Dracula summons a flame pillar while Rose is in the corner, she'll be boxed in, making it hard for her to move. Effectively trapping Rose with Dracula.

Dracula Rewards

Dracula will grant Rose nothing except the ending of the game!
