Save Hearts for boss encounters in Castlevania Rondo of Blood. Item Crashes consume Hearts, so gather them from candelabras and defeated enemies as you move through a stage, then keep a reserve for fights where you want to use your equipped sub-weapon’s powered-up attack.
Build a reserve before the boss
Break candelabras and collect Hearts dropped by defeated enemies while progressing through the stage. The draft identifies these as sources for replenishing your supply, but does not specify how many Hearts an Item Crash costs.
Avoid spending Hearts routinely if your supply is low. Without enough Hearts, you cannot use an Item Crash and must rely on your whip. Save the resource for a boss encounter rather than assuming you will find more before the fight.
The supplied material describes the Item Crash input as pressing the sub-weapon and attack buttons simultaneously. It does not identify platform-specific button names or confirm the input, so check your controls before relying on it.
