Characters & Builds

In the original Castlevania, you play exclusively as Simon Belmont. There are no character creation options or alternative playable characters. However, 'builds' in this context refer to optimizing Simon's effectiveness through strategic sub-weapon choices and whip upgrades. Understanding how to best equip Simon for different situations is crucial for success against Dracula's hordes. Your choices of sub-weapon and when to use them define your 'build' for each stage.
