I was observing, that Drakion is a mythical that is not as surprising as the first time that he came to Neo World. Some use it only because it has revenge of death. In his Legendary form, he has the same abilities as in his awakened form (Dragulus) except that his Raw ability is no longer Raw. Instead, Monsters like XYZ and Y Ddraig Goch, they have considerable changes. Could Dragulus (awake) be given the ability to Assassinate or Double Dream hunter like Centaureon? Or maybe instead of attack (Gigaflame) change it for something like Assisted Flame or something that highlights the difference between its Leg form and its Mythical form. My goal is for Dragulus to differentiate himself from Drakion like the other mythical ones.
He’s already very strong with one of the best passive:excessive force

Key detail that’s very often overlooked: his stats. They’re not usually quite so relevant, but Dragulus benefits greatly from it. Between it and his ability to pierce, bloodthirst with only 1 kill can take out virtually anything, highly unusual for bloodthirst. Flame is quite powerful too, hardly a need for assist tbh. These additional lethal options give him so much more capability, because now he won’t get stuck sitting around with nothing to do. If there isn’t a target weak enough to succumb to bloodthirst or flame, or there’s a protector in the way, just use knock back to yeet the annoyance away and bring in another potential target. The significance of fatal revenge can’t be overstated either; death revenge is often thwarted by shields or hg, with those out of the equation dragulus simply guarantees that someone will go down with him, and the enemy has no control over who it is. So I’d say he does indeed stand rather proudly alongside the other awakened mythics.

Lucrayzor put it very well. Dragulus does get some nice advantages when it is awoken. Bloodthirst one-shotting after just 1 kill is probably the biggest one. The 70TU knockback in the SS is the next biggest I think (it’s only +1 cost to add).
When you compare Dragulus (15 cost) against Shadowyrm (15 cost) there is an absolutely enormous advantage Dragulus has. It’s definitely worthy of the mythic title.

Yes but I think he should have raw bloodthirst in awaken form. Cuz Raw is a nerf as well as buff
If it already can one shot most on one kill, why let it choose any target?
Dragulus is one of the few cases where I’d say RAW bloodthirst is actually a nerf. RAW bloodthirst does less damage than the standard bloodthirst after 1 kill (I think). So Dragulus would not one-shot so many legendaries if it had this change.

Okay I understand.
RAW was always meant to be an overall downside, in the same vein as SOLO and LINK. It usually accompanies either moves that are incredibly powerful on their own, like hypnotize and bloodbite, or overall movesets would be exceedingly powerful unhampered. Lowering TU was a tolerable way to balance out how restrictive RAW was, but adding the focus perk definitely just turned it into an outright upgrade.
So anyway, now that RAW’s been brought back down a little, I definitely feel it should go on to be treated as a downside, because it just limits your team building so much.
I forgot about the tu increase yeah regular bloodthirst is better
I think that’s still something debatable. Some strategies or monster movesets heavily benefit from having protectors around them but others really don’t need it. In general I think people overuse protectors because they’re easy value and often let you get away with more.
Imagine if Novadrake didn’t have the passive that reduces its health. Having 50TU bloodthirst would let it be protected while having incredibly fast sweeping + HG + instant heal. RAW bloodthirst is something that holds back this kind of moveset because you can’t protect it, making it much easier to remove. (I say without the passive because on low health behind a protector probably would be possible to deal with too).
Similarly, Scorpiogeist has enormous sweeping power with stun converter and is very easy to set up. RAW on the moves is again something that holds it back so it’s easier to deal with, especially in front lines.
However, there are cases where RAW works more as a buff. Scyberithe puts overwatch on 3/4 of the enemies so being able to hit around a protector that you have just overwatched is a useful skill. Icefang can repulse any enemy when it enters, letting you remove that stun protection hidden behind a protector. Aviaeronix doesn’t need protecting at all for its moveset and so raw bloodfury just makes it a harsher counter to protectors since it can not only kill them with wall breaker but hit around them too.
