From Fenrir*Illusionary Dance starts playing*
Level is 40.
Stuff like "1.5x per second" next to attack is the rate of the attack if spammed.
Every character has the same starting HP and HP growths, but some have access to more HP Ups than others (The mains get the ones from Wind's quests, and the sisters miss the one in the stairway to Drac since their game stops at Brauner)
Nest of Evil stuff isn't allowed in general. Otherwise, everything that's unique, storebought or gotten from enemy drops is.
Arguably only the two mains should be considered for the averages, so there will be averages with everyone and with only them.
Damage tests done against mud golems. Average resistances and average-ish defenses - Marry me mud golems.
About elements, Castlevanias are a special case.
74 enemies out of 129 (And 8 bosses out of 26) are weak to the whip element.
71 (And 9 bosses) are weak to fire.
57 (And 16 bosses) are weak to piercing damage.
69 (and 10 bosses) are weak to holy, and about the same are srong to dark.
You could cut those elements some slack in the DL, I guess. Vampire Killer is whip/holy, and is much better than the numbers suggest in game as such.
Stats:
HP: -
MP: -
Attack: 2 attack points = 1 point more physical damage dealt.
Defense: 2 defense points = 1 point less physical damage received.
Int: Affects spell damage. How much Intelligence is factored in depends on the spell.
Mnd: 2 mind points = 1 point less magical damage received.
Luck: Affects status resistance, perhaps.
I completely threw constitution and strength out of the topic since they couldn't matter less.
Elements:
Blunt: Physical.
Piercing: Physical.
Whip: Physical.
Fire: Magical
Ice: Magical
Thunder: Magic
Dark: Magical
Holy: Magical
Poison: Everything that's related to the status. (Usual lose HPs at an incredibly slow rate)
Curse: Everything that's related to the status. (Massive MP draining)
Petrify: Everything that's related to the status. (Can't move for about 3 seconds)
Phew.

Notes about Charlotte's spells:
CT = Charge time.
Every spell has two charge phases. The first one is often near instant. If Charlotte stops charging after the first charging phase is over, the spell will be at half effectiveness. The second phase has a fixed time of around 0.75 seconds, and give the spells full power.
The CT indicated here is with fully powered spells unless fully powering them brings nothing though. (See: Toad Morph) Fully powering them up is often worth it as after charging a spell Charlotte takes one second casting it before being able to move again.
Even after being able to move she can't use a spell until the other is finished (and so is forced to physical), which takes no time for lightning spells, 1 second for the fast spells, and a bit more than 2 seconds for the slow spells like Hex.
If she's attacked during the charge, the spell is cancelled.
Her status up spells last for one minute, which is forever in a duel.
Tome of Arms X physical: 55. 1.5x per second.
Tome of Arms 3 physical: 62. 1.5x per second.
I'll list everything, but her best damage options are:
Hex + 3 physicals: 1110, 4 seconds total timeSalamander + 8 physicals: 1744, 9 seconds total time
- Toad Morph: Turns herself into a frog and turns her frog self back into herself. Watch out Cait. 1/4 second CT. 10 MPs
- Owl Morph: Same, except it turns her into an owl. 1/4 second CT. 10 MPs
- Sanctuary: Cures status ailments, and turns the undead back to normal. 5 seconds CT. 80 MPs
- Speed Up: Cast instantly, it gives her Richter level speed. Cast fully, double that. Touching an enemy under that spell does 46 damage. 1 second CT. 20 MPs
- Berserker: Makes her spam her physical at double damage without moving. 1 second CT. 20 MPs
- Eye for an eye: Automatically damage any enemy that attacks her with a short range physical. The damage done largely seems to depend on the overall strength of the monster, it deals aroud 134 damage to Mudmen and less than 50 to Drac. 1 second CT. 15 MPs
- Clear Skies: Makes the area around her block every ranged attack. 1 second CT. 15 MPs
- Time Stop: Stops time for 11 seconds (inculding the 1 second casting time). 1 second Charge Time. Doesn't work on bosses and on some randoms. In the DL, I'd say full status immunity > it. Unequipping it cancels the spell, so she can only use it with physicals. 975 damage all in all. 50 MPs- Heal: Heals 100 HPs. 2 seconds CT. 200 MPs
- Cure Poison: Cures poison. Your descriptions are always so helful Fenrir why thank you. 1 second CT. 10 MPs
- Cures Curse: Cures curse. 1 second CT. 10 MPs
- STR/CON/INT/MND boosts: Raises attack/defense/intelligence/mind by 30 points. 1 second CT. 10 MPs
- LCK boost: Raises luck by 60 points. 1 second CT. 10 MPs
- ALL boost: Raises all stats by 15 points. 1.5 second CT. 30 MPs
- Rock Riot: 104 per rock, blunt. 1 second CT. Six rocks fall on the enemy at very short range. There's a good chance the target will have moved on before getting hit 6 times though. 20 MPs
- Gale Force: 144, piercing. 1 second CT. A boomerang like attacks that covers all the screen but should only hit one enemy once. 20 MPs
- Raging Fire: 86 per hit, fire. 1 second CT. Usual fire flame thing, good range. Hits twice. 20 MPs
- Ice Fang: 182, ice. 1 second CT. Some ice fang goes slowly through the whole screen. Should only hit once in a human duel. 20 MPs
- Thunderbolt: 202, thunder. 1 second CT. Pretty much impossible to avoid, hits one time only. 20 MPs
- Spirit of Light: 144, holy. 1 second CT. Pretty much impossible to avoid, hits one time only. 20 MPs
- Dark Rift: 66 per hit, dark. 1 second CT. Creates a dark rift that constantly damages everything around it for about 20 seconds. 1.5x rate per second. This stuff owns Zeon. 20 MPs
- Tempest: 104 per hit, piercing. 1 second CT. Creates a tempest that constantly damages everything around it for aboud 4 seconds. 1.5x rate per second. 30 MPs
- Stone Circle: 66, blunt. 1 second CT. Creates a shield made of rocks around Charlotte that lasts 30 seconds. Hits people who use short range physicals skills on her once I suppose. 30 MPs
- Ice Needle: 66 per needle, ice. 1 second CT. Creates 8 needles that hover for a while around Charlotte then are thrown in front of Charlotte. 30 MPs
- Explosion: 182, fire. 1 second CT. Couldn't be simpler, attacks an enemy automatically, and hits only once. 30 MPs
- Chain Lightning: 202, thunder. 1 second CT. Impossible to avoid, hits one time. 30 MPs
- Piercing Beam: 104 per hit, holy. 1 second CT. Hits stuff directly in front of Charlotte twice. 30 MPs
- Nightmare: 86, dark. 1 second CT. A giant slow ball that should hit twice in front of Charlotte. 30 MPs
- Summon Medusa: 66, dark + petrify. 1 second CT. Hits everything in its direction once. The status never seems to work on monsters with average resistances and is 100% to monsters weak against it. 25 MPs
- Acidic Bubbles: 66 per hit, blunt + poison. 1 second CT. Throws 9 bubbles directly in front of her rapidly in a slightly varying direction, so it's more effective at close range. I'd say only one or two hits don't get in in the DL. Poison also isn't accurate. 25 MPs
- Hex: 66 per hit, dark + curse. 1 second CT. Hits stuff directly in front of Charlotte at long range rapidly 14 times. Where did this godly spell come from? The curse status is innacurate. 25 MPs
- Salamander: 104 per hit, fire. 2 seconds CT. Fire dragon that homes in at the enemy and hits 12 times over 6 seconds. 120 MPs
- Cocytus (aftergame ability): 104 per hit, ice. 2 seconds CT. Hits stuff in front of her 10 times over 2 seconds, hard to avoid. 120 MPs
- Thor's Bellow (aftergame ability): 144 per hit, thunder. 2 seconds CT. Hits the enemy automatically 5 times over 4 seconds. 120 MPs
- Summon Crow: 46 per hit, piercing. 1 second CT. Summons 4 crows who each home in at the enemy every 5 seconds, alsts 1 minute. Would be good if it didn't fully prevent her from using other spells. 40 MPs
- Summon Ghost: 46 per hit, dark. 1 second CT. Summons 2 ghosts who home in at the enemy alternatively every 5 seconds, lasts 1 minute. Each ghost attack hits the enemy a multiple number of times, depending on its size. ~Twice for humans. 40 MPs
- Summon Skeleton: 104 per hit, blunt. 1 second CT. Summons 4 skeletons who each throw a bone like a Castlevania main throws an axe and disappear imediatly. 20 MPs
- Summon Gunman: 124, piercing. 1 second CT. Summons 4 gunmen who shoot in front of Charlotte and disappear. 20 MPs
- Summon Frog: 66, ice. 1 second CT. Last but not least, summons 6 frogs who... just slowly walk around disappear after five seconds. 20 MPs

Note: This is not factoring ease of use. Old Axe Armor's up attack is generally very hard to use for a long time in game, Maria can only hit ground targets and Jonathan's Kaiser Knuckles have incredibly short range; while the sisters attack anything on screen easily.

Stuff that needs work: Finding out if more elemental halving / weaknesses exist. Confirming the ones already there (was that really lightning? Bah, not enough demons use obvious enough elemental attacks)
Figuring out the exact number of hits the sisters and old axe armor attack do.
