Alucard is one of the first released heroes that had a revamp in the Project Next. The revamped Alucard was done to make him adapt better in the current battlefield situation. In this guide, the ideal way to use him properly will be discussed.
Here is a skill review:
Passive - Pursuit

Alucard's next basic attack after using a skill deals 20% more damage and has him jump to the target.
Alucard's skills inherits 50% of his Physical Lifesteal as Spell Vamp.
Skill 1: Groundsplitter [Blink] [AoE]
Cooldown: 8.0 / 7.6 / 7.2 / 6.8 / 6.4 / 6.0
Alucard jumps to a designated location and launches a slash, dealing 250 / 270 / 290 / 310 / 330 / 350 (+110% Extra Physical Attack) points of Physical Damage.
Skill 2: Whirling Smash [AoE]
Cooldown: 5.0
Alucard slashes at nearby enemies, dealing 300 / 320 / 340 / 360 / 380 / 400 (+120% Extra Physical Attack) points of Physical Damage.
Ultimate Skill: Fission Wave [BUFF] [Burst]
Cooldown: 30.0 / 25.0 / 20.0
Alucard increases his Physical Lifesteal by 40% / 50% / 60%, absorbs the energy of enemies within the designated area andslow them by 40% for 4 seconds.
Within 8 seconds, Pursuit is triggered whenever he deals damage to the marked targets.
Use Again: Alucard fires a powerful wave forward, dealing 440 (+200% Extra Physical Attack)points of Physical Damage to enemies in the area.
Preparation
Here is a pro preparation set by the current Top 1 Global Alucard, Dante from Saudi Arabia.
The idea behind this set-up is to boost Alucard's damage especially against isolated enemies.
Miscellaneous Tips and Tricks
1. Prioritize Skill 1 over Skill 2. Lowering the cooldown of skill 1 is crucial that is why it should be leveled up first.
2. Use basic attack after every skill to fully utilize his abilities and maximize its synergy with the Endless Battle item.
3. It is better to aim your skill to a single target rather than trying to hit more targets to deal more damage which is enhanced by his passive.
4. Alucard can use skill 1 to jump through walls.
5. In the early game, Alucard can focus on jungling since he can farm faster this way. Try to avoid teamfights without having a core item but join teamfights if really necessary.
Alucard is an easy hero to use and control. A thing that separates a good Alucard user from not is the application of knowledge about micro and macromanagement in the battlefield.
