Synergies

• If Alucard's Shield^RtC is held alongside of Alucard's Sword, a few effects will take place:
  • Attacking with Alucard's Sword will initiate a parry during the 2nd and 4th attacks.
  • After using Alucard's Sword, Alucard's Shield^RtC can inflict critical hits.
  • These two items will have a unique border in the HUD.
  • While using either weapon, the other weapon will be visibly equipped on the Beheaded.
• Any items that knock back enemies (eg. Spartan Sandals, Mushroom Boi!^TBS) can be used to put sufficient distance between enemies and the player for Alucard's Sword to teleport, fulfilling it's critical condition.
• The Alucard's Sword's teleportation works will with Scarecrow's Sickles^FF, as it can quickly distance the player from the sickles, increasing their uptime and allowing them to hit more enemies as they move towards the player.

Notes

• This weapon is unlocked by finding Alucard in Richter Mode.
• Attacks performed after teleporting will have windup of 0.15s instead of 0.33s.
  • These faster attacks are technically counted as separate from their slower versions, comprising the fifth through eighth hits of the 8 attack combo.
• Attacking a Thorny with the first attack after teleporting to its back will not damage the player, but successive attacks will, attacks without the teleport will work normally and will damage the player
