Hydro Storm

Hydro Storm, also known as Hydro Typhoon or Divine Storm, is a massive area attack that involves holy water raining down on the entire screen. Its accuracy is high because rain water can't be evaded easily and the duration of the spell is, in most cases, considerable.
==Description==
The Hydro Storm was first introduced as Richter Belmont's Item Crash with the Holy Water sub-weapon, as seen in Rondo of Blood, Dracula X, Symphony of the Night and The Dracula X Chronicles. It must be noted, though, that while most versions have Richter hover in midair, rendering him invincible while the storm is being unleashed, The Dracula X Chronicles version plays a little cutscene instead when the spell is cast and the player immediately regains control of Richter, who's still vulnerable to enemy attacks while the storm lasts.
Other characters are also able to perform this move. It could later be performed by Nathan Graves with the Holy Water sub-weapon when the Pluto + Salamander DSS combination is in effect. Juste Belmont can perform the move by combining Holy Water with the Wind Book. Divine Storm appears as a Dual Crush in Portrait of Ruin, which can be performed by Jonathan Morris and Charlotte Aulin together.
Dracula's third form in The Dracula X Chronicles mimics this attack, although his version has blood raining down instead and is appropriately called Blood Storm.
Although the Hydro Storm doesn't appear in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (not counting the Holy Water that acts as Richter's special attack), it's indirectly alluded to in Richter's gameplay portion of the debut trailer for both him and Simon, where he throws Holy Water onto the ground in the Pikmin stage during the raining portion and he gets swept away by the current while doing his fist pump taunt.
In Grimoire of Souls, Richter can be summoned with an Alter Art to perform this move.
