{{CotMcard|Mercury|Elemental status added to the whip|Bone Head|First room you come to after the vertical pit that Dracula throws you into.

Somewhat useful, but not really, as most enemies aren't particularly affected by elemental attacks. It is generally more effective to use the [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Venus/Salamander|Venus and Salamander]] cards instead to raise your base strength by 25%. | Somewhat useful, but not really, as most enemies aren't particularly affected by elemental attacks.

{{CotMcard|Venus|Stat modifiers|Slime|After getting the [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Items#Relics|Double]] you can get out of the underground. Go up the left side and there is a hidden room with a MP Plus. You can also get the card from the room directly under the first save room, however by going into the hidden room you can get the [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Mandragora|Mandragora]] card at the same time.|Venus_%28mythology%29| was the Roman goddess of love and fertility. Equivalent to Aphrodite in Greek mythology. }} | |||
Very useful as it raising stats without taking into account elements. Six of the cards raise strength or defense - either by raising one by 25%, raising one based on how much of the map is complete, or by trading one for the other. The [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Venus/Manticore|Venus and Manticore]] combination doubles the number of hearts received (so 2 for a small, 10 for a large), which is quite useful for replenishing hearts after a boss fight. The [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Venus/Cockatrice|Venus and Cockatrice]] gives you free experience from walking. Sounds good, but since you only gain 1 exp for every five steps or so, it will talk hours to raise your levels, rendering the card combo useless. | Very useful as it raising stats without taking into account elements.

{{CotMcard|Jupiter|Defensive barriers and enhancements|Heat Shade|In a hidden room underneath the rooftops (accessible from the room below it), is an HP Plus and Heat Shade.

Several of these cards produce shields that, while they don't stop attacks, can damage enemies that get close. Others produce shields that block projectiles but not contact with an enemy. [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Jupiter/Thunderbird|Jupiter and Thunderbird]] cuts all damage by 50%, and [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Jupiter/Mandragora|Jupiter and Mandragora]] can heal you (making it possibly the most useful combo in the game given the rarity of healing items). | Several of these cards produce shields that, while they don't stop attacks, can damage enemies that get close.

Similar to the [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Salamander|Salamander]] card, but it replaces your whip with a different weapon; usually a sword. Notable combos are the [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Mars/Griffin|Griffin]] (charge attack), [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Mars/Thunderbird|Thunderbird]] (fast attack), [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Mars/Unicorn|Unicorn]] (very powerful holy sword), and [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Mars/Black Dog|Black Dog]] (slow but very powerful gun). | Similar to the [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Salamander|Salamander]] card, but it replaces your whip with a different weapon; usually a sword.

Enter from the ''left'' side (so that you're closer to a save room). The trick is to get close enough to it so you can avoid its stream of pods but not so close that the second [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Enemies#Killer Bee|Killer Bee]] attacks. In the background is an alcove with a statue. Stand just in front of the left side of the alcove and you should be fine.|Diana_%28mythology%29|was the Roman goddess of the hunt. Equivalent to Artemis in Greek mythology.}} | |||
Another elemental damage card, but gives you a long range projectile to throw at the enemy. Useful for enemies that are too far away to hit or bosses that you need to avoid at all costs, but the high MP cost of most of the weapons makes it something to save for special situations. | Another elemental damage card, but gives you a long range projectile to throw at the enemy.

{{CotMcard|Apollo|Explosives thrown|Arch Demon|Unfortunately there are no really good spots to find one. The left room off of the first room in the chapel is your best bet as it is close to a save room and there's only one other enemy in your way. Regardless of where you go, this is the most annoying card to get, and can only be gotten after you get the [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Items#Relics|Heavy Ring]].|Apollo_%28mythology%29|was the Greek and Roman god of medicine.}} | |||
Objects are chucked at enemies in a similar fashion as the [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Weapons#Axe|axe]], and then explode on impact. The exceptions are the [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Apollo/Golem|Golem]], [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Apollo/Cockatrice|Cockatrice]], and [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Apollo/Unicorn|Unicorn]] combos, which act more like [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Uranus|Uranus]] summon monsters. | Objects are chucked at enemies in a similar fashion as the [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Weapons#Axe|axe]], and then explode on impact.

{{CotMcard|Neptune|Full elemental protection|Ice Armor|The first large room of the Underground Waterway has numerous Ice Armors and is near a save room. Even though you should wait to clear the Underground Waterway until after you get the [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Items#Relics|Cleansing]] by defeating [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Bosses#Death|Death]], you can (and should) get the card after defeating [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Bosses#Adramelech|Adramelech]], as it will help you survive the numerous poisonous enemies in the Underground Gallery and the Armor enemies in the Underground Warehouse.|Neptune_%28mythology%29|was the Roman god of the sea. Equivalent to Poseidon in Greek mythology.}} | |||
Absorbs all damage from a certain element, and restores 10% of the damage (so an attack that would normally take 100HP from you will instead take 100 MP and restore 10HP to you). Very useful, however note that some enemies have non elemental attacks, and running into an enemy won't necessary count as elemental damage. | Absorbs all damage from a certain element, and restores 10% of the damage (so an attack that would normally take 100HP from you will instead take 100 MP and restore 10HP to you).

A elemental based spirit appears and follows you around, firing when you whip. Fun, but not exceptionally useful since you can't control the familiar and most don't move around much. They tend to stay a little above you, meaning that many of their attacks will pass right over an enemy. | A elemental based spirit appears and follows you around, firing when you whip.

These are special effects that don't really fall into a category. Some affect stats, others how your [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Weapons|sub-weapon]] works. The most useful ones are [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Pluto/Mandragora|Pluto and Mandragora]] (+20% experience from all monsters, keep this one active when you aren't using anything else and switch to it when a boss is about to die), [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Pluto/Unicorn|Pluto and Unicorn]] (complete invincibility, though you cannot attack - good for when you need to flee to a save room to heal), and [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Pluto/Black Dog|Pluto and Black Dog]] (turns you into a skeleton). | These are special effects that don't really fall into a category.

The most important use of this card is that some combinations let you freeze enemies like the [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Enemies#Brain Float|Brain Floats]], which is necessary to get certain items early in the game.

The big one is the [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Jupiter/Golem|Jupiter]] combo which makes your invincibility after getting hit last four times as long.

Similar to [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Serpent|Serpent]] combos, most Cockatrice combos results in the enemies being petrified. The big difference is that the combos generally give strength boosts as opposed to penalties. Still, most of the combinations are fairly useless as few enemies are weak against Earth. [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Pluto/Cockatrice|Pluto and Cockatrice]] boosts your stats based on play time, but unless you are going ''very'' slowly through the game, it won't help much more than other defense boosting combos. | Similar to [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Serpent|Serpent]] combos, most Cockatrice combos results in the enemies being petrified.
