Main and sub glyphs are attacks, while back glyphs are usually supportive. Each glyph uses a certain amount of MP, but MP recharges quickly when not attacking. Each glyph is also associated with a specific attribute.

Glyphs

For more details on glyphs, see Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia/Glyphs.

Unlike previous Castlevania games, Shanoa's main attacks are glyphs. She has three glyphs: main glyph, sub glyph, and back glyph. Main and sub glyphs are attacks, while back glyphs are usually supportive. Each glyph uses a certain amount of MP, but MP recharges quickly when not attacking. Each glyph is also associated with a specific attribute.

Glyphs can be obtained in several ways. Some randomly appear after an enemy is defeated. Some can only be absorbed when an enemy is using a glyph. Others can be found in statues. Glyphs are absorbed by holding Up dpad.

By pressing Up dpad and either X button or Y button, a glyph union will be performed, which is a stronger attack. Glyph unions cost hearts instead of MP.

Attribute points are gained when enemies are defeated with glyphs. There are six attributes: slash, strike, fire, ice, lightning, darkness, and light. The more points gained, the stronger the glyphs become.
