Favorite weaponry from the Metroidvania (modern castlevania) series

Best weapon design/strength/efficiency/range/rate of attack/Blah blah blah. Vampire Killer doesn't count because of redundancy
Must be from:
Symphony Of the Night
Dawn/Aria Of Sorrow
Harmony of Dissonance
Circle Of The Moon
Order Of Ecclesia
Portrait of Ruin
Curse Of Darkness (PS2)
Lament Of Innocence (PS2)

I've always loved the Claimh Solais tied with the Hrunting from the ... Of Sorrow series.

 

Metroidvania refers to games that are like that of Metroid, or Castlevania, it doesn't refer to only Castlevania.

 

But it's commonly referred to games that take on the "Metroid" style gameplay. Like Symphony of the Night.

 

Crissaegrim or Valmanway as it's known in the games after Symphony of the Night by far. Not the strongest, but it hits so fast it doesn't matter.

Easily one of the most overpowered weapons ever.

 

The laser rifle thing from AoS that you get from Boss Rush mode

 

dagger?

Ora! Ora! Ora!

hehehe.

 

The Rocket-propelled Grenade or the Gungnir from DoS.

 

Claimh Solais
You you can't go wrong with holy BF sword :
Also, Nebula in PoR was kinda fun.

 

Hmmm.. very interesting choices going on here. The Photon Rifle, previously stated by groh is a good choice too.

Now-a-days you don't see anything like Symphony of the Night anymore excluding the future DS releases, just think of that awkward "Lords Of Shadow" from upcoming release, now doesn't that look like a fun large mono-castle, Not really. My point is that, games just don't use that Metroid/Super Metroid feel anymore not even the "Other M" (maybe).

 

Batman: Arkham Asylum was a metroidvania game (it's linear but you can almost go to every area from the get go, but you can't progress in any area unless you have x power-up, like Metroid).
