Damage Cut

Damage Cut is an ability in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. It is obtained by gaining dominance over the Dead Crusader's soul. It allows Soma to reduce damage taken from all attacks.

In addition, it grants the following two features:
 * 1) Normally, if an enemy damage is defended to less than 1, Soma still takes 1 damage. Equipping the Dead Crusader's soul nullifies that rule and Soma won't take damage nor flinch (although he will still bleed). This comes in handy when plowing though weak enemies in the castle.
 * 2) Status changing attacks are nullified if damage taken is less than 1. Likewise, if damage taken is more than 1, the status change will occur. To avoid this, it is advisable to level up Soma or improve his CON.
