Axe/Lament of Innocence

The Axe makes an appearance in Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, although used in a different attacking fashion; rather than being thrown in a vertical arc, Leon throws two axes horizontally, both of which spin in differing circular motions (one clockwise, the other counterclockwise). Both don't stop upon hitting any enemies on their path and can dole out successive damage based on how many times and targets they hit along their path. This style of Axe was later called a Tomahawk in Castlevania: Curse of Darkness.

Much like in Harmony of Dissonance, the Axe can be combined with seven different colored Orbs that can be obtained by defeating bosses for more fantastic attacks. They can also be switch between the different styles of attacks without the need to access a text-based menu screen. However, these new attacks also consume Hearts, the Magic Meter is only used by Relics.

The axe represents also a type of damage, whose effectiveness depends on enemies.
