## Notable Attacks and Techniques

* **Scarlet Needle** (スカーレットニードル, *Sukāretto Nīdoru*): Kardia used this skill as his trademark. This technique rests on your index finger having a nail-shaped sting like a scorpion. It consists of 15 contact points (which draw exactly the pattern of the stars of the constellation of this sign) which inflict great pain to the opponent slowly removing his five senses can be launched separately causing a slow torture or thrown together to turn the opponent's life. These 15 bites are the number of stars in the constellation of Scorpio.

* **Scarlet Needle Katakeo** (スカーレットニードル・カタケオ, *Sukāretto Nīdoru Katakeo*): This is the last bite of the succession of blows of the Scarlet Needle, the deadliest and foremost, the fifteenth sting. This is the final blow of Kardia, if the opponent is not dead before the 14 bites the latter is certainly fatal. This technique is positioned in the center of the torso of the opponent and causes it to lose a massive amount of blood, besides altering the central nervous system.

* **Scarlet Needle Katakeo Antares** (スカーレットニードル・カタケオ・アンタレス, *Sukāretto Nīdoru Katakeo Antaresu*): This ability is unique to Kardia, and can be seen in Lost Canvas only. Antares is a variant of Needle unlike this one directly affects the inside of the opponent by providing heat similar to the heart of Kardia, the shoots directly into the bloodstream and causes, literally, the blood begins to boil up the body on fire . This technique is powered by Kardia fever and is activated when your heart is on fire, causing certain death for himself and his opponent, so this technique is final and the Saint of Scorpio's used as a last appeal to the powerful opponents. Scarlet Needle Katakeo Antares is launched after the 14 preliminary and shoots straight to the heart of the victim to that consumed in the flames of Scorpio.
