Healing and buff items, instead of the usual potions, are different-flavored lollipops like the one that Bayonetta likes to keep in her mouth during some cutscenes.
She'll trap enemies inside and send blood everywhere, or she'll whip their backs with a flourish, doing more damage as you mash the button prompt on the screen. After accumulating enough magic points through normal attacks, you can make Bayonetta conjure one of many types of medieval torture devices. Since she's a sadistic character, her finisher moves are called Torture Attacks. When you do a double jump, a butterfly's wings appear over her back, and when you use any type of long weapon like a lance, you can have her pole dance and quickly fire her guns in all directions. She's over eight feet tall, wears a skin-tight suit that's actually made of her magical hair, and always fights with style and finesse.
Bayonetta herself is unconventional and entertaining Bayonetta is a character who exudes confidence and charm, and every aspect of the game's mechanics and design fits with her personality.
