Orb System
The orb system in Castlevania: Lament of Innocence allows for a plethora of different alternative weapon attacks. Check out the information below, along with the information regarding creature tolerances and weaknesses in the creatures section, for the best attack combination during certain situations.
Crystal
No Orb--Crystal--Hearts: Three
Leon will create a crystal, which will last for around five seconds before exploding (the blast area is about five or six body lengths). This is one of the few alternate weapons that allow the player to perform multiple instances of the same attack at the same time, giving Leon the option to riddle a small area with several exploding crystals if needed (around six crystals can be laid down before the first one explodes). Take special note that crystals laying too close to each other will set off a chain reaction of explosions (Example: crystal A explodes, crystal B gets hit by crystal A’s blast and explodes early).
Red Orb--Mash Crystal--Hearts: Four
The properties of mash crystal are practically the same as normal crystal with the exception of the blast area being slightly larger (around six to eight body lengths).
Purple Orb--Shatter Plane--Hearts: Twenty
Leon bends over slightly, then unleashes a quick burst of energy that shatters the frame, doing damage to anything that happened to be on screen during activation.
Blue Orb--Hail Crystal--Hearts: Eight
Leon summons a large crystal from the sky that drops on anything standing directly in front of him (the crystal will target the closest threat that is in front of Leon). The crystal’s life span is about one or two seconds before exploding with a blast radius of about three to five body lengths.
Green Orb--Drain Stone--Hearts: Eight
Leon throws a small crystal-like stone that drains a portion of the target’s health and adds said points to Leon’s health meter. The crystal will last until it either hits a creature or slams into a wall.
Yellow Orb--Satellite--Hearts: Fifteen
Four medium-sized stones encircle Leon, following him wherever he goes for five to seven seconds before choosing a target and firing off as a projectile.
White Orb--Judgment--Hearts: Twenty
Leon summons ten beams of blue energy from the heavens, which rapid fire down on multiple targets. How the computer decides which target gets how many beams seems slightly random, but typically the closest threat will receive the bulk of the damage.
Black Orb--Yanish Storm--Hearts: Twelve
Leon leaps into the air and unleashes a blizzard of blue energy and tiny crystals towards anything in front of him, dealing out multiple strikes on anything that is in its path. This attack appears to have a reach of at least half the room (if not the entire area).
