Alucard is one of the five starting playable characters in Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. He generally plays the same way he did in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Contents

Official backgroundEdit

The dhampir son of Dracula who once fought and defeated his father so that his mother's soul might find peace. Alucard can wield a variety of Dark Magic by collecting the right scrolls.

Dark MagicEdit

Alucard's Hunter Skill attacks are his Dark Magic spells. Up to four of them can equipped at a time, and can be performed by pressing the B button, up+B, down+B, or left or right + B, depending on which slot they are assigned to (although the Dark Inferno variation of Hellfire can be performed if Hellfire is equipped and holding B instead of simply pressing). This make them a lot easier to pull off than in Symphony of the Night, where a complicated series of button presses was needed to be activated (although they did not have to be equipped to be able to be used). The Dark Magic also replace Alucard's subweapons in this game, as Jonathan is the only starting playable character able to use those in Harmony of Despair. Alucard starts the game with Summon Spirit available to use and can gain use of others by finding scrolls, which can be found in chests or dropped by enemies. Finding a scroll for a spell he already has increases that spell's power.

Attack WeaponsEdit

Like in Symphony of the Night, Alucard is able to equip two attack weapons, unless he is equipping a two-handed weapon. Many Attack weapons can be used by either Alucard or Soma Cruz, although they will not necessarily attack like they did in Symphony of the Night for Alucard. All of Alucard's swords now swing in a horizontal swipe and swords that were swung overhand in Symphony of the Night no longer do so. Most special abilities from Symphony of the Night also appear in this game, except that they now have no more than one special attack, which is always performed using the down, down/forward, forward + attack key combination. One time use weapons from Symphony of the Night cannot be used by Alucard in this game.

Unlike Soma, Alucard cannot equip any Axes, Lances, or Firearms, however, Alucard can equip some swords that Soma Cruz cannot.

DaggersEdit

Daggers are small blades that can perform either a stabbing, slashing, swiping, or thrusting attack for Alucard.

Most of Alucard's Short Swords in Symphony of the Night are classified as Daggers in this game, except for the Short Sword itself (now a sword), the Stone Sword (now called Milican's Sword and classified as a Sword), and the Rapier (now a Rapier). Alucard and Soma Cruz are both able to use the Basilard and the Combat Knife. The Holbein Dagger, Were Bane, and Shotel are unique to Alucard. Alucard is unable to use the Soma's Cutall or Cinquedea. The Jewel Sword from Symphony of the Night is missing from this game (as are salable Jewel rings). The Saturn-exclusive Astral Dagger also does not appear.

RapiersEdit

The Rapier and Estoc are the only Rapiers that Alucard can use (the Fleuret, Main Gauche, Small Sword, and Kris Naga are unavailable to him). The Rapier was classed in Symphony of the Night as a Short Sword, can thrust forward or attack in a flurry of zig-zag motions. The Were Bane is similar to this sword, but is classed as a Dagger. The Estoc used to be a two handed sword, but is a one handed sword in this game. It is a massive short that causes Alucard to move forwards while thrusting, even while in the air.

GreatswordsEdit

Great swords are two-handed swords. Most of them perform a slow swing with a long reach for Alucard. Most can also dash while thrusting as their special attack. This differs from Soma, who generally uses these weapons with an overhead arching attack. The Daybreak (aka Sword of Dawn) is an exception to this, which can summon warriors as its special. This sword was changed in the December 2010 patch so that it is now his strongest greatsword and is now a match for some of Soma's strongest greatswords. The Falchion attacks like an unremarkable regular sword without a special for Alucard, but still takes two hands. The Dainslef (aka Gurthang) used to be Alucard's strongest Greatsword, though it is relatively unremarkable now as it does not have a thrusting ability.

All of Alucard's Greatswords from Symphony of the Night appear in this game, although the Estoc is classified as a Rapier. Both Alucard and Soma are able to use the Falchion, Claymore, Great Sword, and Dainslef, while the Flamberge, Zweihander, Obsidian Sword, and Daybreak are exclusive to Alucard. None of the four or five star greatswords are available to Alucard , nor is the bizarre Terror Bear.

KatanasEdit

Katanas are much like regular swords for Alucard, except that they are generally faster, and many can perform a multi-hit attack or other special attack. This differs from how Soma uses them, who takes them out of their scabbard in a swift upward-diagonal attack.

All of Alucard's Katanas from Symphony of the Night are present in this game except for the Red Rust. The Takemitsu (which cannot perform a diagonal attack and deals Hit damage instead of Cut), is the only Katana exclusive to Alucard. The Blunt Sword, Katana, Masamune, Osafune, Yasutsuna, and Muramasa are available to both Alucard and Soma. The mid-level Kotetsu and Kunitsuna are the only Katanas unavailable to Alucard. Unlike in Symphony of the Night, Katanas only take one hand to use.

CestusesEdit

Cestuses are weapons that Alucard wears on his fist. Most punch just like Alucard does when he has his bare fists equipped, though the Blue Knuckles performs uppercuts and other weapons have special moves they can also perform.

All of the Knuckles from Symphony of the Night are present in this game. Both Alucard and Soma have several Cestuses, but only the Kaiser Knuckles (aka Iron Fist) can be used by both of them. Alucard is unable to use the Brass Knuckles, Cestus, Mach Punch, or Whip Knuckle. Alucard is able to use the only 4-star Cestus, which is the Fist of Tulkas, which can throw fireballs as its special.

CudgelsEdit

Cudgels are club-like weapons. They do hit damage. Some of them can release a burst of energy as their special for a stronger attack.

All of Alucard's clubs from Symphony of the Night are present in this game, except for the Shield Rod, which means his shields aren't as effective in this game. Alucard and Soma can both use the low-level Mace and Morning Star, while the rods with special abilities, Star Flail, Holy Rod, and Moon Rod (which can summon four powerful crescent moon blades as its special), are exclusive to Alucard. The only Cudgel that Alucard is not able to use is the thunder hammer Mjollnjr.

Throwing SwordsEdit

The only one of Alucard's throw items from Symphony of the Night to make it into this game is the Heaven's Sword, which is the only weapon categorized as a Throwing Sword. This sword is normally thrown and then returns. The Rune Sword is not in this game. The Chakram (classified as a Firearm) can be used by Soma, but not by Alucard.

Alucard can use his Tonfa from Symphony of the Night. This is a two-handed weapon that strikes twice. The North American version of Symphony of the Night misnames this weapon Nunchakus. Nunchakus are present in this game, but can only be used by Soma in this game, not Alucard.

All Head GearEdit

Alucard's signature Dragon Helm is available in this game, which only he or Soma Cruz can wear, and is arguably the best head gear in the game. Like in Symphony of the Night, it reduces its enemy's attacks. It makes its wearer more susceptible to Holy based damage in this game. Alucard is able to wear any other head gear item that any male is able to wear. As such, he is unable to wear any of the Tiaras (even though he wore the Silver Crown in Symphony of the Night) or Veils, the Witch's Hat, or the Arachne Hennin. All of his Head Gear from Symphony of the Night is available to him here, except for the Holy Glasses, Felt Hat, or any of his Circlets that allowed him to absorb damage. Some interesting enhancements to some of his other equipment includes the fact that the Stone Mask now offers some protection against Earth attacks and Sunglasses now offer protection against Holy attacks.


All Chest GearEdit

The Alucard Mail is the one chest piece that is unique to Alucard in this game. Alucard also has several vampiric, demonic, or otherwise "Black" chest items that are uniquely available to him and Soma Cruz, including the Ninja Suit, Pitch Black Suit, Olrox's Suit, Dracula's Tunic, and Demon's Mail (also usable by Shanoa). He can also use any item that is available to males, which includes most Clothes, Coats, and body armor, and excludes most Robes, Dresses, and Corsets. Items exclusive to Soma (Tailcoat, Aquarius, Eversing), Jonathan and the Belmonts (Kung Fu Suit, any plane mails, or simple historical armor, Brilliant Mail, or Shanoa (Crimson Mail, Valkyrie Mail, Minerva Mail) are also unavailable to Alucard.

Most of Alucard's chest gear from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is also available to him in this game. Exceptions are the Healing Mail (available only to whip-wielders and Shanoa for some reason), Brilliant Mail (available only to characters with Sub-weapons in this game), Alucart Mail (which makes it not possible to obtain Alucart status), Spike Breaker (no breakable spikes in this game), Axe Lord Armor (Axe Armors are used for characters that have not been purchased), Walk Armor (no concept of map percent complete), and the Dark Armor (replaced with Demon's Mail).
