This was my first Castlevania! I still love the soundtrack and I revisit it from time to time. I was always fascinated by all the spells and it's cool to get to see most of them for the first time here. Thanks for compiling them!

When I first played this, Bible + Ice was my go to spell. Freaking expensive, but also freaking powerful. One thing I found interesting that I never knew though, was that there are some equipment which enhances the subweapons, giving it additional properties.

[@naturalharmoniagropius3262]

The holy book it self without any combinations is already broken. It only causes 2 hearts and does multiple damage to all enemies near his surroundings.

[@mrunknown7714]

1:11 None of them can beat this one (i.e 1000 Blades). This looks super cool.

[@panik402]

My favorite is the wind cross, it is the best offensive shield, besides it lasts forever until it is used up, it gives a lot of advantage for the mana recharge, it also has a decent attack range.

[@Gazing-09]

10:14 Summon Kali *Shows Asura* 😂

[@dracmeister]

Ice+Dagger is my favorite. It's simple, doesn't need to be aimed and, does a decent amount of danage. It's a fire-and-forget weapon that I can stack damage on top. There's also Sacred Fist+Fire because you can just bully enemies with it and Wind+Dagger, which does a stupid amount of damage and gives you a tonne of invincibility frames.

[@JoachimVampire]

the fire knife spell hides a secret. if you use the arrows in a circular fashion ( up, diagonal, right, diagonal, down, diagonal, left, diagonal) while the daggers are appearing matching the pattern you will summon up to 8 fireballs at once that will deal a heck ton of impacts. also, it's 8 knifes not 9 :P

[@DaBears08]

Wow great video. Straight to the point. Thank you for your time. Also gradius has been unstoppable for me in this game,

You can actually press the directional pad during the Fire Dagger animation to allow more fireballs to be summoned.

[@kristofkristof5243]

Yup! A hint card says: "The red book and the dagger share a secret." I Googled it, and a question forum explained the technique.

[@diegordi1394]

The only game where the Dagger is useful... :,(

[@MetalSonicodraco7342]

Very Useful actually haha

[@samuelcamarillo1349]

It's useful in Circle of the Moon's shooter mode.

[@DooDoo-f4v]

Sacred Fist + Green Tome is downright amazing. If you space it right you can get 2-3 hits. Didn't use anything else in all my playthroughs over the years

[@jaeger7272]

Damn Juste would've been a really cool boss with all those spells

[@TheGachaGourmand]

And a difficult one at that. XD

[@somefries3101]

In castlevania fighter he's a spammer lol

[@Alouette_EXE]

I actually think Juste is the strongest Belmont. I know he never faced the actual Dracula but that is the only difference though and if he does face dracula, i don't think it makes much of a different. With those magic spells, Juste can destroy him in no time. The only belmont who: Is the main character of a metroidvania castlevania game Has different magic spells Can summon or transform into monsters/demons Can forward dash Is a perfect balance of a Belnadez and a Belmont Sadly put in an underrated castlevania game

[@adolfjackson8669]

But,I like Richter Belmont.

[@Alouette_EXE]

@@adolfjackson8669 You're appealing to popularity. I'm appealing to aspects.

[@FunkInTheSky]

I agree, but my name is Juste I cant be objective XD

[@wackyswacky1374]

In truth, each successive Belmont was more powerful than the last. This is because each Belmont passes down what they have learned in their lifetime to their heirs. Simon was the progeny of both the Belmont and Belnades lines (from Trevor and Sypha), but he focused his training on physical combat. Juste, however, was the first to truly embrace the magical heritage of the Belnades, and as such was able to surpass his grandfather. Juste's prowess in magic is what gave birth the Item Crashes that you see in HoD and later on with Richter, an ability that Simon was never able to do. Julius is a curious exception. We do not really know the extent of his powers. As far as we know, the Belmonts stopped training their descendants in the art of vampire hunting after Richter gave up the whip. How Julius managed to get the whip back and train up for his battle his Dracula is an as of yet untold tale. He could have learned of his ancestor's abilities and experience during his adventure, or been trained by the Morris family, but until Konami greenlights a game that would delve into that history, we cannot know for certain if Julius is an equal to Richter.

[@thefurry7165]

@@wackyswacky1374 Tbf Leon obliterated thru most of a vampire's castle without the Vampire Killer (tho he does get it near the end of the story), and he defeated The Forgotten One, a being that was so powerful it almost destroys the world and had to be sealed away because it couldn't be killed. -Also Leon's one of the hottest Belmonts.- And Julius was shown in Aria to have powers that exceed Richter's (even when holding back), not to mention his ability to straight up phase through attacks. Christopher and Simon are probably the strongest, both destroyed Dracula two times and without the usage of any magic besides the Vampire Killer.

[@watcherman222]

Holy Book + Earth ring = Alucard's version of the Holy book.

[@scrungo7610]

Holy Book + Bolt Book is the best spell. It allows you to run through the whole castle without stopping for enemies and destroys bosses

[@liammccbyrne4184]

yup its like the Crissaegrim from sotn in that both turn you into a walking lawnmower and like the Crissaegrim it makes the game way to easy except for a few bosses.

[@KuyaChris633]

Was looking for comments like these. Everyone raves on about Wind + Cross but this is actually the truly broken ability in the game.

[@karenannefromusa]

Thanks! Once I get the Bolt Book, I will try this! I love the Chrissaegrim.

[@jimmyrq1382]

if you press, down left, or down right at the moment when you activate the ability, you can change the position of the orbs too

[@gdastray]

@Dukstless there is summon tome heal in the end. I think at times it's hard to find cross. I can't point it at specific place.

[@miciso666]

place whereu fight maxim near the azazu boss or what his name was :D

[@WaywardRobot]

Axe+Summon is literally Devilman.

[@johnpauljeromerigo9083]

If Nathan Graves from CotM exists in canon, he would probably rival Juste's Skills at magic, or probably beat Juste because of his DSS

[@guaskoqizz]

So many spells to choose. But to be honest, I don't use different spells so much now these days. It's mostly the same, which is the Sacred Fist + Wind Book. Because it's a simple spell which deals lots of damage, and the cost of your MP is pretty low. (At least for me.) Of course, there're other good spells out there that I really like: Sacred Fist + Fire Book Holy Cross + Wind Book Holy Book + Ice Book Axe + Bolt Book Holy Water + Wind Book. In fact, I mostly use the Wind Book. Because I love every spell (except the Axe.) And to be honest, I almost never use the Summoning Tome. Mostly because it costs too much MP. 😁👍

[@gdastray]

Yup. At some point I chose one spell that can be universally used throughout the area.

[@maxximiliano]

Press up down forward and attack during cross plus wind book summon to change direction of the crosses to horizontal

[@kirbykrewz28]

Did anyone else use iceicle charge to get the ring relic?

[@abrahamlupis9354]

The knife and fire book had the trick of pressing the directions when Juste summons the knives to activate more fireballs to rebound

[@GringoGad]

even though axe + bolt book isn't optimal, I like how it looks and Juste yelling "THUNDA!"
