hello everyon, I recently had posted in the weapons suggestion list about the sotn marsil, and the idea occored to me that we should dissect each of the castlevania games to determine the best equipment from each. we will go game to game starting with sotn. afterwards we will pick up to three winners from each category.
CURRENT LIST: SOTN: WEAPONS: MARSIL SHIELD ROD HOLY ROD HEAVEN SWORD POWER OF SIRE DYNAMITE
EQUIPMENT BLOOD CLOAK CRYSTAL CLOAK ELEMENTAL CIRCLETS JOSEHPS CLOAK (due to custom colors) SUN/MOONSTONE(time synced effects) SKILLS/MAGIC/ETC RICOCHET ROCK
RULES: the current game being discussed is castlevania SOTN, so only post equipment from there for now. equipment do not need to be judged solely on stats/useability once we reach the desired number of suggestions we will move to the next game. once each game has suggestions we will take a vote. the best few will have an analysis done on them, and I will submit it to the equipment suggestions
if I haven't made myself clear, equipment means items, armor, and all manner of skills. happy hunting |

I thought that the Shield Rod was definitely one of the most impressive from Symphony of the Night, especially when combined with some of the better shields in the game, like the Alucard Shield, or the Knight's shield. Though I don't think it's likely as I don't think that shields are gunna be in Bloodstained.
Otherwise some other fun ideas could be the Dynamite, the throwing-jewel, (sub weapon, don't know the actual name) and I thought that the painting item you could use as a weapon (also don't know the name ahahaha) was pretty cool too. :p

my favorite mix was the iron shield. if you bought that before you got the shield rod you were set for the rest of the game.
I will have to check the categories list for bloodstained later...
I don't know what painting you mean.
the throwing jewel would come to be known as the ricochet rock, and it is in most games.
I would like to add the holy rod and the crystal cloak to the mix.

Power of Sire, that's what the usable item was called. And yes, the holy rod was cool, but by the time I found it I already had the shield rod, so it became irrelevant ahaha. |

Ricochet Rock is also called the Rebound Stone.
SotN stuff:
Weapon: ...this is hard. I think the Shield Rod takes the cake though for being a unique and versatile weapon.
Cloak: Joseph's, for being able to adjust colors as we want. This could apply to a certain ribbon/scarf for Miriam.
Head: The element-absorbing circlets. They provided an extra way to heal yourself in a game that didn't really need it, but it being included was nonetheless very cool.
Accessory: Sun/moonstone probably, and I think that it would be cool to incorporate day/night, environment or weather mechanics into accessories in Bloodstained.

I loved the heaven sword. It's surreal to have a sword, throw it, and see it return to the hand used. I ended up using for much of my first playthrough because of it's range and how little it hindered my movement.

Not sure if it was in Symphony of the night, but Portrait of Ruin has a similar weapon. |

well that's all fine and dandy, I had a difficult time getting the heaven sword in sotn due to droprate
I am going to update the list at the top of this post, once we get rolling a bit more, I will start the vote for sotn stuff.
(then we move on to the next game)
and I want to stress, its not necessarily about weapon strength or useability. if a weapon is cool, has a story, is fun to use, etc these are also reasons. this is meant to get some insight as to what makes an item stay in someones head and be remembered. so, anything goes.
