Triple Dagger

A Triple Dagger, or Triple Knife, involves three Daggers being sent out in rapid succession or at the same time. The type of dagger throw may vary.
==Attack types==
===Triple Shot===
A Dagger may be powered up in some cases that allows three daggers to be in play at the same time, often after collecting a Triple Shot, usually after it was first powered up with a Double Shot. Each dagger is fired separately and have their own costs in these cases. 
===Homing attacks===
The first triple dagger single attack could be performed by the boss Soleil Belmont in Castlevania: Belmont's Revenge. Three homing daggers would be tossed up into the air, which would then pause and spin around and then seek a dagger. At some point, Type B Knives can be upgraded to throw two knives in a single attack in Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls. The Wizard in Castlevania Chronicles is also able to summon a trio of similar homing daggers, which rise from the ground, spin around, and then head straight for the player.
===Simultaneous straight throw===
A triple Dagger Throw, which throws three daggers straight forward simultaneously in a single attack, later became common in Castlevania games. Sometimes the daggers are move in parallel with each other, and other times they spread out, but not by much by the time they reach the edge of the screen. This was the regular form for the Dagger for Richter Belmont in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and Dracula X, Maria Renard in the Sega Saturn version of Symphony of the Night, and Trevor Belmont in Curse of Darkness. It is an alternate form of the dagger used when also wearing the Logoth's Ring for Juste Belmont in Harmony of Dissonance or for Leon Belmont when used in conjunction with the Red Orb in Lament of Innocence. It the fully mastered or evolved form of the Dagger and Retro Dagger in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin and Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. The most powerful Culter glyph for Shanoa, Melio Culter, also uses this attack.
