Choosing your main weapon..

Hellow...

SO I was wondering when you are going to choose your weapon.. What do you go for?? NO including the MARVELOUS WHIP :P

A really powerfull weapon, that will crush your enemies but bc of it weights is slow or maybe no as fast as others (battle axe, great sword, claymore...)

A extremelly fast weapon that may do 3/4 damage of those really heavy, but is 2-3 times faster.. (katana, long sword...)

Let the talk start...

Post below as well the weapon of your choice, and if diference bwt games post on each game you remember :P

i prefer POWER. so i used the axe alot. so one hit garauntees alot of damage.

i really like using the axe in DoS, and upgrading it all the way to the DeathScythe.

the only bad thing is the slower attack time, sucks when you get sorrounded by fleaman and the like, or if an enemy is too close, it doesnt hit sometimes.

in PoR im using the royal sword, it boosts alot of the other stats. there are stronger weapons such as the golden axe...but it brings down the stats. so im settled

true that happens to me with the gouls in DoS, but with the Axe type.. how did I miss those, no clue :lol: Thus it just with the axes, bc the part with no edge does no damage.. but with the swords (heavy swords, like claymore and great sword) it does not happen bc there is no wood part :P

PoR my fav is the Alucard Spear.. freaking sweet.. and is slow but bc is does no do a arc, he pull it out in a straight line forward is pretty great..

Also, Deaths Sycthe fails. It's a unholy element and will only do about half the damage to most enemies in DoS. Claimh Solais>Deaths Sycthe.DynamicJumpIuff

its actually the strongest weapon in DoS, it has an attack of 166 compared to claimh solias with only 120. the only difference is the light an dark attributes. but if you are a high level...it doesnt matter, the deathscythe just deals a ton of damage.

but compared to running up to an enemy an tapping to attack several times...i prefer the one push of a button to send demons back to hell. you just have to know how to do it right! also, thats why i back myself up with subweapons(but this thread isnt about that)

also, i like the arc of the bigger weapons. im not a fan of spears like i was in AoS...since they go in one straight line.

listen to DJ

the handgun was good, but it reminded me too much of a subweapon...

i thought DJ was stopping his"Listen to DJ" counter. It seems you are the one who says that the most though xenmas

but im sticken with Power, its a good thing.

the face palm, truly a mighty weapon.

in PoR i think im gonna switch up weapons, i have been using Royal Sword for most of the game, an i switch to vampire killer for boss fights and nest of evil.

face palm... face palm.. face palm... do not ring a bell.. :? which one is that?? :? :oops:

@Hush: Wait until you get Alucard Spear. I loved it. Thus the Vampire Killer is pry one of the best for the nest. Same with the Holy Claymore, really sweet weapon.

Face palm. sorta like hitting someone REALLY hard with the palm of your hand into the face. usually you begin the hit by forcing your palm toward the mouth, and then ramming it harder, pushing up on the face. thus...breaking the noise really badly if done right.

as for Alucards spear, it is powerful an i have used it, but i dont like how it hits in a single line...so it sucked for me when fighting medusa heads an fleaman. im just really used to the swingin arc of the big swords. so i still use the royal sword, even though it isnt the strongest one, an i also use the vampire killer.

true that can be annoying abot he spear... but bc the fleaman and medusa are always annoying no mmater what you used... :lol: and I have others ways of dealing with them :twisted: charlotte come here :twisted:

But yea.. I see your point.... Thus I think that the Holy Claymore has the swiming arc and is more powerfull. Do you have that one??

you can get it..

[spoiler] at vicent`s shop. Is pricy thus.. 300,000. but is imo the best sword, as I remember at least [/spoiler]

and one of the reason I like power over speed :P

EDIT: thx Hush ... I used the wrong end :P

your spoiler didnt work

but i will have to see about this weapon then!

nice.

now that i think about it, lately the games in CV have more variety to chose from which i like. it changes up things an makes it better for the player. so i do like using the vampire killer an i will remember the good times we had. bu ti enjoy going around and finding new weapons. an then doing so, you can find weapons that best suit you. its like a scavenger hunt for kids...just more dangerous.

my friend who will be joining Gamespot and this union as soon as he gets internet in a few weeks, he thinks that the Alucard Spear is the greatest weapon ever.

I disagree, the greatest weapon ever is definately a Keyblade. If they put a keyblade into Castlevania, i will faint.:P

This is a scattered one for me....

The crissaegrim is a favorite from SotN- hacking things into sushi bits was great, but in Curse of Darkness the Chauve-Souris was a favorite- really slow, but had a lot of distance.

i`m starting to like this friend of yours.. in PoR it is.. awesome weapon at least 2nd only to holy claymore.. sweet!!!

I choose power over speed because I can control my own ability to move and react. I can get in, swing a big swing...get out of reach and then go in again. That capability of agility gives me big hits while taking little damage. Now, using fast weapons, damage can rack up over time but you generally must get in closer to be effective exposing you to a larger threat of being hit. Thats just my line of reasoning.aries8269

agree.... and hi :)

You know what? I'm going to say it depends on the situation.DynamicJumpIuff

true.. thus I tend to like more the power either way just bc it give me the advantage, like I said I prefer hitting like maniac and no cover myself much in bosses.. so having a weapon strong enough that would kill the enemy bf I even need a potion.. well... :)

*oh the sweet Chauve-Souris.... there was one game that it was fast, no?

I generally prefer axes, using backdash cancels to get the extra hits. So many uses of the overhead swing:

Some bosses projectile attacks can be nullified by one swing, although some people are sayin the arcing motion poses a problem in that it misses enemies right up close, i just don't let em get close. If it was RL, im sure i wouldnt want a particulary nasty looking demon up in my face. All just comes down to positioning and timing my attacks.

Hit enemies above platforms without having to jump up to their level. Hit flying enemies without having to really jump.

My favourite wpn is the Golden Axe, but i also use all the other weapons. Its just one of the ways to extend the replay value. My style fits the arcing type weapons, so if i wanna play it differently i'll go through playing with say a spear. (I actually used alucards spear a lot in PoR before i obtained the Golden Axe)

Alas the whole MetroidVania allows a lot of freedom in how to equip, allowing us the freedom to play how we want to play to a certain degree. This kinda annoys me a bit tho when people say 'the newer CVs are lulz easy'. Yea they're easy if you go around spamming potions/tonics and using save points to heal a lot. This comes back to the weapons as people say about how the powerful weapons make the game easy, well just dont use them. Stick with a crappy weapon, or try beating bosses with weapons they have resistance against.

Basically what I'm saying is each situation/boss encounter will have a weapon thats more favourable, but imo its more to do with how you want to play the game and what weapons best suit you.

I think you needed 2 Alucart sheilds to make it. Another reason why I perfer the air-- I mean speed is because the Blue Falcon is in Mario Kart: Wii. Why is it called AlucarT?DynamicJumpIuff

its called the alucart sword because its an imitation of the alucard sword

Well my favourite weapon yet is definetely the sword valmanway, it's so fast that is like an OP kaiser knuckle. you can just walk while attacking without stopping at all, and hits about 4 times each hit so it can deal about more or same damage than claim solais in about the same time solais takes to do a single hitfredy1689

oh which game?? :P

@Allan: I love the axe as a weapon, but for some reason I always like teh Battle axe more that the Golden Axe.

yea.. taht is a good sword in DoS.. but for some reason in AoS is not as good... :?

wow... I nevre heard of someone how actually use the fist weapon, I used it in CoD just when it was mandatory to evolve the I.D. This prove that there is something for all taste.. :)

nah... DJ.. I think t all depends on who is playin.. I eat hard lvl max 1 using the Alucard spear :) I love that oe for some reason... That one and Hol Claymore.. AWESOME!! :P CLaymore is holy, but is pretty slow... but strong as hell....

@Trident: yeap... power...
