Crosses are symbols associated with Christian religion and peace. Because of the irony of it, some creators may include crosses as a way to induce violence in their work. This trope is about crosses being used for attacks. It can come in two variants: Cross-shaped Weapons: Either a cross used as a weapon or a cross attached to a weapon like a blade or a whip. They're often wielded by a Badass Preacher or soldiers of a Church Militant to show their affiliation to Christian religion. Also, it can add an extra deadly factor to an already dangerous character; crosses look scary if someone wields them as a weapon to hurt and potentially kill people. Villains and demons sometimes can have these too because of the blasphemy of turning a holy symbol into their weapon. Cross-shaped Spells: Powers that generate energy beams or explosions with the shape of a cross. Magic attacks with cross imagery or physical crosses used as the source of the magic attack can count too. They may occur when Religion is Magic. Sub-Trope of Improbable Weapon User. Often a result of Anime Catholicism. See also Holy Burns Evil, for when it is the holiness of the cross as a religious symbol that harms or keeps away evil beings. Not to be confused with Cross Counter. |

Disgaea The series has a recurring gun attack called Totenkreuz, which is German for "crux mortis" or "death cross". The character using this attack charges energy into his gun before firing a thick shot, which looks like a fiery laser, down on the target(s). Upon impact, the shot explodes into a gigantic flaming cross. Unlike most of the attacks in Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice, this one remains almost unchanged from its Disgaea: Hour of Darkness incarnation. The White Dragon's Holy Flare attack creates a similarly shaped explosion. |

In A Certain Magical Index, some members of the Roman Orthodox Church wield cross-shaped weapons: Vento of the Front wields a hammer that's vaguely in the shape of a cross. It represents the hammer that nailed Jesus to the cross. Bishop Biagio Busoni wears multiple necklaces holding several dozen crucifixes of small size. His fighting style is to throw the crucifixes at his opponents, then magically make them enlarge to the size of cars in midair. |

Marvel vs. Capcom: Wolverine loves this trope: From the first game, he makes an "X" with his default Strong Punch. In the second game, he gains two new moves: one is called Berserk Barrage X which finishes with a Strong Punch and another called Weapon X which finishes the opponent doing an "X" after beating the opponent. In the fourth game, he gains a new Limit Break called Fatal Claw in which he writes an "X" on the screen, dealing damage to the opponent. In the fifth game, he gains a new move called Berserker Slash in which he combines a Charged Attack with Strong Punch. |

Lyrical Nanoha: Hayate's Armed Device is named "Schwertkreuz," which means "Sword Cross" in Gratuitous German. It normally takes the form of a small gold cross, usually hung on a gold chain like a pendant. The gold cross is originally the remaining non-magical fragment left behind by Reinforce and is used as part of the Device with Hayate's stated intention. When activated, it takes the form of a cross-shaped Magic Staff, serving as the cannon-body for Hayate's spells. | |

Leona, Heidern's adopted daughter, has a move called X-Caliber which, as the name says, is an "X" shaped move and the only difference from her father's move is that she performs the move while jumping. In The King of Fighters 2002, Vanessa inherits the cross-shaped move Hellion from Rick Strowd from Real Bout Fatal Fury 2. |

Trigun: Nicholas D. Wolfwood works as a travelling priest and carries a large cross wrapped in cloth. He claims that the cross is heavy because it's "full of mercy", but it actually hides a huge gun called the Cross Punisher, with the bottom of the cross housing a machinegun and the top housing a rocket launcher. In the anime, the arms also serve as gun racks to store multiple handguns. In the anime, Wolfwood got his Punisher from an assassin priest. In the manga, Wolfwood got his Punisher from the Eye of Michael, a cult that patterns itself after Christianity but worships Knives as a god and provides him with assassins. Chapel the Evergreen, the anime-only priest mentioned above, serves as a member of the Gung-Ho Guns and wields his own Cross Punisher that splits into two machineguns. |

Dante's Inferno: Dante uses a small hand-held cross to shoot blasts of holy light at his demonic opponents. The blasts themselves are shaped like crosses. Lucifer counters this attack with an Evil Counterpart that uses inverted crosses when it's used on him. Dante's Archnemesis Dad Alighiero uses a much larger cross to fight his son. Ironically, Alighiero himself was killed with his own cross by the Turkish assassin who killed Dante. His Signature Move, Sins of the Father, also launches several cross-shaped homing projectiles. |

One of the cursed artifacts in Friday The 13th: The Series, the Cross of Fire, had a switchblade knife built into the base, for use by a crusading monk to defend themselves if they were attacked. Subverted to a darker use when the curse requires the blade be used to kill so as to power its vampire-destroying ability. | |
