Card

Cards have a variety of functions in different Castlevania games.

Castlevania: Bloodlines
The earliest appearance of cards in a Castlevania game is in Castlevania: Bloodlines. There, Death challenges you and an array of cards with different things on them appear. Whipping them has a different effect:


 * Scythe or Death - Projectile is launched at you
 * Angel - Grants 12 meat
 * Gear - You must fight a Gear Steamer again
 * Gargoyle - You must fight the Gargoyle again
 * Fountain - You must fight the Golem again

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon

 * See Main Page at Dual Set-Up System

Cards play a central role in Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. Cards are divided into two types, Action Cards (represented by a Roman god and represent some kind of general ability) and Attribute Cards (represented by an elemental creature and represent an element). These cards are dropped from enemies. Combining an Action Card with an Attribute Card creates a magical effect that crosses the nature of the two cards.

Castlevania Puzzle: Encore of the Night

 * See Main Page at Cards/Encore of the Night

Cards can be collected in Castlevania Puzzle: Encore of the Night. Combining them into poker hands allows for the completion of certain Honors, which in turn may award items. Cards come in two suits, "Crosses" (representing the forces of good) and "Skulls" (representing the forces of chaos). Cards can be found throughout the castle, or as drop items, or as rewards for accomplishing other Honors.
