Hellfire

Hellfire is a powerful attack mainly used by Dracula. It usually summons three fireballs. It is Dracula's most commonly used attack, appearing in nearly every game. In some incarnations (most notably Symphony of the Night), Hellfire is considered to be both the actual fireball attack and the teleportation that precedes it. In later games, Hellfire is instead two waves of three fireballs, and one wave of five or even a huge wave of fireballs in Order of Ecclesia.

Although the attack is mainly used by Dracula, it has also been used by Walter Bernhard, Alucard, Graham Jones, and Soma Cruz. It is used as a spell by both Desmond Belmont and Rohan Krause. Furthermore, some incarnations of Hellfire (most notably in Symphony of the Night and Harmony of Despair) overlap with Dark Inferno, considering the latter to be merely a more powerful variation of the former (though in Harmony of Despair, this is only true for Alucard; Charlotte's spell list considers Hellfire and Dark Inferno to be completely separate Hunter Skills). In the hands of Alucard, this spell becomes even more powerful, since he can use it to get away from an enemy and then preform one of his other spells like Soul Steal.
