Topic: Cross in DoS

[Xenotech]

I can't seem to find a good use for Julius' throwing cross in DoS. I used it vs Abbadon just because I hadn't used it much. Am I not using it properly?

Don't worry yourself much over it. Truth be told, Julius was very wonky in that game, so it's of no surprise that you can't find much use for his cross. I barely used Julius to begin with. I just stuck with Alucard. I think onlyl time I used the cross was on final Soma.

Yeah his cross is easily out down by what Alucard and even Yoko can do.

I used Julius and Yoko alot, but it has been a long time since I played it so I don't remember certain things.

I don't use subweapons much in any of the CV games.  Unless I'm fighting Death in CV1...then the rules change a bit.

I'm the same way. At first, I think it was an attempt to conserve hearts, but after awhile I got so used to rarely using them that I have only a couple spots where I break em out.

I'll use the cross for bosses ( look how quick Rowdain goes down! wooo! ) and to cover my ass when im swinging from hooks or taking a jump ( at least i know i can whip as I land if the cross wasnt enough)

Subweapons were once a lot more important. This was before your characters could summon the legions of hell, cast spells that would make Gandalf turn green, knew Kung Fu, and were more agile than circus acrobats.

Take Castlevania III for example. Every speedrun I've watched of that game is pure Holy Water spammage. Holy Water seems to be the entire key to getting anywhere in that game.

Then you have PoR. Did that game even HAVE holy water? I don't remember because if it did, it wasn't useful to me

I found Julius very usefull in some situations. Alucard kicks ass vs anything and is a great all rounder but sometimes its good to bust out the ol whip vs bosses because of its sweet range. Also his holy water and axe are very decent because they use very little mp for the payoff
