DX Dagger 2

1,000 Blades (also called Thousand Dagger or Thousand Edge) is a powerful attack involving the throwing of many daggers extremely fast. It first appeared as an Item Crash for Richter Belmont for the Dagger sub-weapon.

Characteristics[]

This ability was introduced in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood as one of Richter Belmont's Item Crushes. Richter is able to perform this move in most other games he has appeared in as well, like Dracula X, Symphony of the Night and The Dracula X Chronicles.

It could later be performed by Nathan Graves in Castlevania: Circle of the Moon with the Knife sub-weapon, when the Pluto + Salamander cards combination is in effect. Juste Belmont can perform the move too in Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance by combining the Dagger with the Wind Book.

1,000 Blades first appeared as a Dual Crush in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, where it can be performed by Jonathan Morris and Charlotte Aulin. Jonathan is able to launch fifty blades at enemies thanks to Charlotte's magic. This is the only Dual Crush spell that can be canceled when taking damage from enemies. In Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, it became this pair's signature Dual Crush, as no other character can perform a similar move which requires the use of two characters.

In Castlevania Judgment, Grant Danasty is able to perform this attack as one of his Expansion moves.

In certain games, like Rondo of Blood and Harmony of Dissonance, it is possible to change the direction the player character is facing mid-crash –left or right– to attack both enemies in front and behind.
