I remembered that hack I once downloaded which added Serio's Richter Belmont sprites into the game and I decided to apply the changes from my Rondo of the Night hack to it. Richter Belmont boss fight was obviously the best candidate for the test, but I also found a way to warp into the final Dracula battle with Richter via cheat codes. I wasn't able to find a reliable way to increase my HP without having only the starting amount other than through the infinite HP cheat code, so this resulted in me fighting against Dracula while having almost as much health points as he does.
I made Dracula weak to the holy attribute as well while I was editing the enemy stats, which ended up making him a whole lot less difficult and tedious to fight against as Richter during a normal run. The axe item crash already cheesed him before. But hey, at least more than one sub-weapon is now viable for a stable fight against Final Dracula.
