Whip

Simon Belmont with the Vampire Hunter Whip

As the name implies, Whip is a damage type inflicted on enemies by using the Castlevania weapon of choice: The Whip.

This special lashing effect is akin to a flail or a single-headed version Metoer Hammer, but is special since it includes some of the most notable and infamous weapons found in any, if not all, Castlevania games.

Before Portrait of Ruin, attacks from whips were generally classified as neutral or Blunt damage.

Known whips

Vampire Killer

Simon Belmont with the Vampire Killer

Main article: Vampire Killer

The legendary whip wielded by the Belmont clan. The whip is possessed by magical properties which allow it to destroy evil. Special rituals are needed for those who are not of Belmont blood to use it, and they must choose wisely when using the whip after unlocking its power- if they overuse it, death will be their punishment.

Alchemy Whip

Main article: Alchemy Whip

The Alchemy Whip was used to be an ordinary whip before Rinaldo Gandolfi used the mystic, and at the time forbidden, arts of Alchemy to give it extra power. Wielded by Leon Belmont, this gave him the advantage at getting through Walter Bernhard's castle, but wasn't strong enough to do any damage to the powerful vampire. It was later, through a sacrificial ritual, that the Alchemy Whip was transformed into the now famous whip: Vampire Killer.

Hunter Whip

Nathan Graves with the Hunter Whip

Main article: Hunter Whip

The Hunter Whip is passed down through the Baldwin clan. It was used by Nathan Graves in Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. The weapon seems able to be used by anyone with a pure spirit, untainted by evil. It is an interesting weapon of choice- there is a magic linked to the whip known as the Dual Setup System. Using a combination of attribute and action cards, the user can change the form and elements of the whip, grant passive abilities, turn him into a skeleton, absorb an element's damage and convert it into vitality, or even provide a enhancement to movement speed.
