"Damages surrounding enemies with an aura attack."
— Description from Curse of Darkness

An Aura Blast can be one of several types of spells appearing in many Castlevania games. It has been portrayed either as a Weapon Skill, a Dual Crush, or an Innocent Devil's ability. When cast, it damages surrounding enemies with an aura attack.

Game specific information[]

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness[]

The Aura Blast is the default ability a Battle-Type Innocent Devil is born with. When cast, the I.D. emanates an aura force from its current position which deals low damage to all surrounding enemies and also neutralizes all projectiles. It's one of the best abilities in the game, as the damage it deals is usually enough to kill or knock down most enemies, making it extremely useful in heavily crowded areas. The blast also has a wide area of effect and can easily damage airborne enemies (Harpies, White Dragons, etc.). At a low cost of only 15 MP, it can be cast repeatedly, and since most enemies will leave Hearts behind after slain, MP replenishment is generally not an issue. It's also very useful for subduing heavier enemies, as an aura blast will stagger them and cancel all of their attacks, allowing Hector to jump in and inflict a few free hits.

It can also be used strategically, as it can be cast when the Battle-Type is far away from Hector and has enemies surrounding it. If Hector suddenly needs to cast an aura blast near him, he can just perform a Chain Attack on a nearby enemy to make the I.D. warp to his current location.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin[]

Aura Blast is one of Jonathan Morris's sub-weapon skills in Portrait of Ruin. It has an attack pattern in this game that is similar to the Water of Judgement Spell Fusion attack in Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance.

Castlevania: Harmony of Despair[]

Aura Blast is a Dual Crush available in Harmony of Despair. It's performed when Alucard, Soma or Maria performs a Dual Crush with another version of themselves. It's also the default attack for Maria when pairing with any characters who do not have their own signature dual crushes (that is, all male characters), as well as the only for Simon and Fuma as they will always perform it with other characters. Energy flies across the area damaging all enemies in its vicinity.

Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls[]

Jonathan can be summoned with an Alter Art to perform an Aura Blast. Rather than being his skill from Portrait of Ruin, it is based on the Dual Crush from Harmony of Despair.
