Summon

Summoning in Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls allows the acquisition of weapons, subweapons and armor.

Summon Rarities
All summon-able equipment comes in three rarities denoted by the number of stars that are shown upon summoning as well as in the player's inventory. The differences between these rarities are as such


 * 3* equipment has simple traits that only require the item to be equipped in the main slot. 4* and 5* equipment have more complex requirements for the activation of their traits (ex. Simon's Bandana requires it to be equipped to Simon to activate)
 * A piece of equipment's attack or defense increases with the number of *'s with 5* being the highest. This difference is rather low however.
 * The number of stars on equipment also affects its initial and total enhancement level as well as the amount of limit breaks it can receive. 3* equipment starts at 15, 4* star equipment starts at 25, and 5* equipment starts at 35.
