				Name of Attack 
				Heart Consumption/Reduced Heart Consumption 
				Description  | 
			 
			 
			Regular Weaponry 
			  
			
			
				
				  | 
				Axe: 
				Standard Attack 
				Hearts: 4/3 
				Leon throws out two axes on a horizontal plane, big departure from the usual axe attack  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Dagger: 
				Standard Attack 
				Hearts: 1/1 
				Throws a knife, quick, but weak  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Cross: 
				Standard Attack 
				Hearts: 4/3 
				Another major divergence, Leon makes two crosses appear and circle around him as a shield instead of throwing one like a boomerang  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Holy Water: 
				Standard Attack 
				Hearts: 4/3 
				Lays a half circle of holy water immediately in front, all but useless due to lack of range  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Crystal: 
				Standard Attack 
				Hearts: 3/2 
				Creates a crystal in current location, after several seconds, shatters, boo  | 
			 
			 
			Blue Orb 
			  
			
			
				
				  | 
				Axe: 
				Spinning Edge 
				Hearts: 5/3 
				Make axe knights jealous, Leon throws a BIG axe out a ways, it then returns  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Dagger: 
				Needle Claws 
				Hearts: 4/3 
				Four blades shoot up from the ground out a ways from Leon  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Cross: 
				Divine Cross 
				Hearts: 8/6 
				Leon creates a large flaming blue cross in front of himself, acts as a forward shield  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Holy Water: 
				Energy Gazer 
				Hearts: 5/3 
				I think they meant "geyser", Leon creates one (a geyser that is), and it travels in a straight line on the ground, a personal favorite  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Crystal: 
				Hail Crystal 
				Hearts: 8/6 
				I'm reminded of Harmony, a huge crystal crashes down from above on nearby opponents, then shatters after a second  | 
			 
			 
			Red Orb 
			  
			
			
				
				  | 
				Axe: 
				Spiral Axe 
				Hearts: 6/4 
				Closest item crash approximation, Leon shoots out an expanding circle of axes no need to aim makes this useful in a bind  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Dagger: 
				Triple Dagger 
				Hearts: 3/2 
				Throws three knives with one swing of the arm  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Cross: 
				Double Cross 
				Hearts: 6/4 
				Name says it all, Leon doubles the standard attack up, larger shield size makes for greater usefulness  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Holy Water: 
				Roaring Flames 
				Hearts: 6/4 
				Two full circles of holy water go around Leon, I still think this is useless  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Crystal: 
				Mash Crystal 
				Hearts: 4/3 
				Standard attack crystal appears but with many smaller crystals orbiting it, shatter area is larger  | 
			 
			 
			Orange Orb 
			  
			
			
				
				  | 
				Axe: 
				Spirit Ripper 
				Hearts: 12/9 
				Leon summons three bladed cubes or something of the sort which will attack enemies for about the same time as the blade serpent, cool sound effect  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Dagger: 
				Astral Knife 
				Hearts: 10/7 
				Eight glowing knives circle Leon, if there are nearby targets, the knives will shoot at them, remaining knives disperse after several seconds  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Cross: 
				Grand Cross 
				Hearts: 12/9 
				Cross item crash (you didn't think they'd forget didja?), Leon summons several large crosses to devastate the area around him for several seconds  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Holy Water: 
				Holy Symbol 
				Hearts: 4/3 
				I really don't get it, Leon makes a magic circle on the ground underneath him, hurts enemies that step on it but has no size and no range, boo  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Crystal: 
				Drain Stone 
				Hearts: 8/6 
				Throws a shining crystal straight, when it connects to an enemy, souls come off and return to you, healing you (think Soul Steal)  | 
			 
			 
			Green Orb 
			  
			
			
				
				  | 
				Axe: 
				High Speed Edge 
				Hearts: 5/3 
				A personal favorite, Leon dashes forward a ways while out-holding a double bladed axe, very quick, and your invincible while doing it  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Dagger: 
				Force Cannon 
				Hearts: 4/3 
				Fires a blast straight ahead, fairly quick, and decent power, a useful long-range combo  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Cross: 
				Holy Light 
				Hearts: 6/4 
				Personal cross favorite, Leon makes the divine cross without flame and shoots it forward, strong, and long range, I'm a MegaMan fan, sue me  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Holy Water: 
				Flame Sparks 
				Hearts: 4/3 
				Leon lobs an orb of holy water out a ways, which splashes upon contact of anything, making a few droplets come out and hit the ground, also damaging enemies  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Crystal: 
				Satellite 
				Hearts: 15/11 
				Four crystals appear and circle Leon acting as a shield, when time runs out they shoot off, at enemies if any are present  | 
			 
			 
			Purple Orb 
			  
			
			
				
				  | 
				Axe: 
				Axe Tornado 
				Hearts: 10/7 
				Leon throws two axes that spin in a circle in place causing a tornado, lasts a couple seconds, Leon can move during this time  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Dagger: 
				Magic Missile 
				Hearts: 8/6 
				Seven purple knives appear and shoot at a single target, aim isn't very good however, tends to miss close enemies  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Cross: 
				Micheal's Sword 
				Hearts: 10/7 
				Fires a blast straight up, comes down on one opponent making a giant flaming cross on them, possible reference to Neon Genesis Evangelion? Never know  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Holy Water: 
				Cross Blazer 
				Hearts: 8/6 
				Usefulness is still in question, Leon punches the ground making a large cross shaped blast of holy water on the ground, misses a lot for whatever reason, but does good damage  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Crystal: 
				Shatter Plane 
				Hearts: 20/15 
				Nice visual effect, Leon shatters the entire screen damaging all enemies present on it, good damage, worth the hearts though? Your choice  | 
			 
			 
			White Orb 
			  
			
			
				
				  | 
				Axe: 
				Axe Trap 
				Hearts: 10/7 
				Lacking the actually tornado, the effect is Identical to axe tornado, lasts longer though and there are eight axes instead of two  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Dagger: 
				Spread Gun 
				Hearts: 6/4 
				Fires a much larger blast which also causes an explosion when it hits, good upgrade to the force cannon since no speed is lost  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Cross: 
				Agnea 
				Hearts: 12/9 
				The Symphony only subweapon returns as a combo in Lament, hold down the button for prolonged use like aqua disk, lasts a while  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Holy Water: 
				Aqua Disk 
				Hearts: 10/7 
				Holds his hand up and creates a large disk of water energy, hold the button down, lasts a while  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Crystal: 
				Judgement 
				Hearts: 20/15 
				Heavens fury is wrought upon the opponent as Leon calls forth a multitude of beams of light to shoot down from the sky and strike opponents in a large area around himself, quite obviously, this is probably the single strongest attack in the entire game  | 
			 
			 
			Black Orb 
			  
			
			
				
				  | 
				Axe: 
				Rapid Slash 
				Hearts: 8/6 
				Runner up for "most badass attack", IMO anyway, Leon rushes forward, attacking with hands and feet, looks mighty nice with the blade effects, but not practical  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Dagger: 
				Blade Serpent 
				Hearts: 12/9 
				Earns "most badass attack" award, Leon makes a ten foot serpent made entirely of knives, attacks any enemies and lasts a while  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Cross: 
				Six Saints 
				Hearts: 15/11 
				Why the black orb makes an attack called "saints" is beyond me, six crosses appear in a circle around Leon and fire homing lasers, not as strong as you'd think, lasts a while though  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Holy Water: 
				Energy Wave 
				Hearts: 8/6 
				Leon socks the ground again, causing a wave of holy water to home in on a target, strong, and the homing property makes up for lag time  | 
			 
			
				
				  | 
				Crystal: 
				Vanish Storm 
				Hearts: 12/9 
				Not quite sure, Leon jumps into the air and holds posture as… a storm I guess, emits from him, pummeling enemies in front of him badly, lasts a while  |
