Victory Armor



The Victory Armor is a particularly strong kind of Sword Knight who carries a giant sword. It tends to perform a lot of thrusts and overhand melee slashes. In some games, destroying him will leave his spirit in the form of a Ghost Swordsman, which will continue the battle with the sword. In other games, it can throw its sword like a spinning boomerang for long ranged attacks.

In the Clock Tower level, the Sword Lords will spawn a Vandal Sword after dying (except for the one found in the Outer Wall).

Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
The Victory Armor is the first major, non-boss enemy encountered in the game. Even though he becomes a common type of enemy later on, two Victory Armors stand out as unique, one-time encounters early in the game: one in the Marble Corridor, and another in the Shrine of the Apostates. When defeated, the Victory Armor will petrify and crumble to the ground. Its most memorable offensive trait is throwing its sword out and having it return in a boomerang-like manner.
