10 Most Unique Attacks In Video Games

If you haven't played Bayonetta, you probably didn't realise the titular witch's primary weapon isn't guns or swords - it's her hair. Instead of relying on a wand or a sceptre, our lascivious heroine, like all Umbra witches, relies on her follicles to fight.

Even though this concept may sound unusual, the concept of using hair to perform incantations stems from folktales about witches in many cultures.

Now, you can't fight the forces of heaven and hell with a fringe alone so it's no surprise Bayonetta can equip a myriad of alternative weapons like high heel pistols, bows, swords, and Super Mario's Chain Chomp.

But more often that not, you'll be needing Bayonetta's malevolent mane to get the job done. Not only can the titular temptress tie up, strangle, lasso, and catapult demons and angels with her hairstrands, she can summon beasts by using her fibres as a conduit, which is mighty helpful when you want to finish off a screen-filling boss.

And since Bayonetta's entire body is layered with hair fibres, it's no secret why she's the most powerful of her kind.
