Greatest Five

Greatest Five is the strongest Dual Crush in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. It can only be obtained in a room after defeating the Doppelganger at the end of the Nest of Evil, and involves summoning the spirits (or the Vampire Killer's memories) of Richter, Leon, Trevor, Juste and Simon Belmont to attack. Each one will unleash a powerful whiplash when he appears on the screen. When the animation ends, the cumulative damage of each hit will be added into one single hit, dealing massive Strike and Holy damage to all enemies. Costs 250 MP per cast.

Notes

• Unlike many of the rest of the game's dual crushes, Greatest Five won't provide any kind of invincibility while it is active. Instead, time will be frozen and will restore again once the dual crush finishes, so it's better to find a safe spot before casting it, unless the player is sure that the enemies won't survive.

Trivia

• Trevor and Simon both have a chance to appear as their original 8-bit sprites.
• Even though the description states that it "summon(s) four legendary warriors", there are actually five Belmonts summoned when the spell is cast: Richter, Leon, Trevor, Juste, and Simon.
• Seeing as how Leon was from a 3D game, this is the only instance where he appears in 2D sprite form.
