Simply summon [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Uranus/Thunderbird|Thunderbird]] for the entire fight. As [[#VampireKiller 11|before]], focus on avoiding the laser when it comes. It is best to use [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Pluto/Unicorn|Pluto/Unicorn]] for both the comet and laser attacks as they can kill a Magician with very few hits. Thunderbird will clear out both the bat cloud and poison bubbles with ease, so you shouldn't take too much damage in this fight. However, Dracula's charge can probably kill you in two hits, so be careful.

Alternative Method (PC): If playing on a GBA emulator with a PC keyboard, the button sequence for using summons is not possible. There is however an easy alternative method. It is recommended to be at least level 40, have Double Grips, Needle Armor, and 3-4 Mind Hi potions.
Stand at the very bottom left corner of the screen and use [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Pluto/Unicorn|Pluto/Unicorn]] for invincibility. When Dracula uses Comet/Poison Bubbles, stay invincible or run right and use [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Jupiter/Serpent|Jupiter/Serpent]] to clear the bubbles. When he raises his left hand (Laser attack), immediately switch to [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Venus/Black Dog|Venus/Black Dog]] DSS and whip his eye. The lasers won't touch you. If you are fast, you can whip the eye 12 times. It takes about 40 hits to defeat his first form. With practice, you can beat the first stage while taking no damage at all.
For the second stage, use the Roc jump strat to dodge his charges, or just use invincibility if you have enough MP. When he turns into an eyeball, use the [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Diana/Unicorn|Diana/Unicorn]] homing ball. It can shoot from any angle, and a direct shot does 40-50 damage with the homing ticks. This is the best DSS because you can avoid the bats while also dealing good damage. If you get low on health, you can heal with [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Neptune/Black Dog|Neptune/Black Dog]] when Dracula charges and restore your MP with Mind Hi potions.
