Patch notes

The Dark Lord - Addons
Medusa's Hair:
Decreased the Hindered penalty to 8%. (was 15%)
Decreased the Hindered penalty duration to 3 seconds. (was 5 seconds)This change is a nerf to Dracula's kit. This add-on was his best add-on, slowing survivors more than the clown's purple bottles and using it to shut down even the strongest loops like killer shack.This change makes him less likely to catch survivors on killer shack, but is still good for catching survivors at dropped pallets or unsafe tiles. Overall, this makes his shapeshifting and wolf form add-ons even stronger thanks to the buff his wolf form received and the nerf to his hellfire.Pairing this add-on with Lapis Lazuli is still his best add-on combination for chases.
