A Dual Crush, also known as Dual Crash, is a very powerful attack involving two casters, where they combine their powers to cast a powerful spell. Dual Crushes appear in two games: Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin and Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, being the most powerful type of attack in both games. They act both in usage and execution similarly to the Item Crashes appearing in other games.

The primary casters are Jonathan Morris and Charlotte Aulin, although in Harmony of Despair the rest of the characters are also capable of casting a Dual Crush.

Game specific information[]

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin[]

In order to unlock a Dual Crush, the player must either obtain them from specific locations of the various maps or complete certain Quests, and equip them. Since the duo have separate equipment screens, the player can equip two different Dual Crushes, one to use while controlling Jonathan, and another while controlling Charlotte. Portraits of Jonathan and Charlotte will then be shown on the screen before execution. Any damage absorbed by either of the two will interrupt the spell.

The MP bar will flash red and green if a Dual Crush can already be activated given the current MP the player has. Each Dual Crush must wait a five seconds cooldown time between casts.
