I am really enjoying this game. Feels like a treat, and welcome break from the open world barrage of games we've been getting.
it does more damage on normal throws, and has the super.
I think damage is the only reason to use it?

I have been playing this series since the DMC1 demo so almost 20 years now...Just unlocked Dante
I may be too small brained for this
DMC5 Dante even makes ME think I am too small brained for this.
And the Buster Devil Breaker arm does more damage on the Breaker version. But i still think its not worth the slot.
I played on human difficulty - the wording made me think it was normal and it ended up making the game boring as it was so easy, now I think about it.
For some reason the wording on the other option sounded like it would be a hard mode.
Maybe I'll play it again at some point on a harder mode - there was still spectacle etc - just zero risk as everything dies so easily on that difficult as it turns out it's rhe easy mode :/

You're basically betting on your own skills with the orbs. If you do cool shit with it and don't get hit then you'll get a lot more orbs in return.
It's a risk/reward thing, you can get a craptonne of red orbs if you put the hat on enemies, just avoid getting hit. Great way to gain a large amount of red orbs in a short amount of time.
Same i've just gave up on switching, it just doesnt not work unless you are neutral, and standing still is death.
Just beat the game and the ending gave me all I wanted to immediately start my second playthrough, gonna grab some food and burn through it again lol
At Mission 16 & Nero is definitely my favorite character to use. Once you start getting Exceed with attacks down, you almost feel unstoppable. And the Devil Breaker mechanic is great. Once I get into the groove of things though, I start popping them like candy. I have to stop that lol
Dante is just... too much for me lol.

Faust weapon is one of the best weapons in the game. It can do stuff like be an orbiting satellite like im Nier where it can shoot autonomously allowing you to do mew combos amd juggles. You can throw the hat on enemies and then pull them back like Neros wire snatch (also usable in the air). You can have it circle around you like Spiral Swords etc.
It's considered as a Gun so a lot of its moves are locked behind Gunslinger style upgrades.
Also using Faust is almost always a huge net positive of red orbs if you are landing hits.
I'm still on DH too. I want my first playthrough to last so I;ve been regularly replaying missions to look for orb fragments/secret missions as well as letting me practice new weapons in a safe environment. The void is great for gettting the basics down, but nothing beats field experience.
That's pretty much what I expected, that's one less thing to worry about.
I was avoiding it because of the Red Orb thing as well, but if you get more out of it if you use you wisely...
I am loving it, but the game is still stuck in 2008 at times.
Completed SOS mode just recently. Not going to attempt DMD until I've managed to get an S rank on all mission in every difficulty.
I do cool shit and feel like I have a good grasp on what I want to attempt and execute it, but I need to get better.
I like the game much more than I expected. I've only actually completed the first game a year back and lost interest after starting up the second game.
Its good the combat is so well made because boy is the rest of the package quite mediocre imo. The combat is really what holds the game up, and it does it well.

18 years of technology and we have come a long, long way in real time 3D rendering.
I'm also impressed with how much they managed to nail the general look of his DMC1 appearance in profile, hairstyle etc. while looking more or less totally natural at the same time - you can see they were going back and forth with hairstyles in the concept art, but the final version combined with the face model is a fantastic take on the established character in a far, far more realistic sort of presentation than their original debut. The fact that in gameplay I can be so strongly reminded of PS2 promo art that retained a massively stylised look with a photorealistic character model shows they really did do a good job with their art direction.
Vergil, on the other hand, does look like a bit of a cosplayer - the technical side of his face capture is great, but compared to Dante he didn't feel quite like they completely got it spot on to his prior appearances - of course, the gap between what they're doing here and PS2 presentation is enormous.
Yesterday I began to play with Dante (I'm taking my time and replaying a lot the missions), and honestly the game went from a 9/10 to a 11/10. Nero is very fun to play (and the Exceed mechanic is so rewarding when you pull it in a full combo seamless), V is a great addition and very original (and with a lot of depth micromanaging both summons).. but Dante is a fucking beast. The Cavaliere figth with that music.. :O.
Right, so after dying a good 10 times of being skewered thoroughly by the biggest difficulty spike I've encountered in some time, I'm gonna press the "call era for help" button.
So ol' Verg is giving me the run around, I can make it to the final phase of his health where he brings out his spirit stand thing but that also marks the point where I just can't touch him and get whittled to pieces.
In general though I feel like there are parts of the fight I'm missing something on.
So in general I use royal guard to safely counter his standard attacks, I'm not sure if this is the best way to approach but it gets me through.
When he triggers I just end up fleeing with trickster aid, any time I try to contend here he just smashes right through me or warps and the damage output is too much, only time I feel I can even poke him here is if he uses the vertical attack X2 into the dash which has like one moment of vulnerability.
Then there's him taking off into air Vergil, easy enough to avoid but I feel like there's something more I could be doing here, and also during his charge up period.
Long story short, pls help, I don't want to use golden doodads here, it'd be scandalous

Buy air hike and enemy step ASAP. For attacks, calibur, roulette, shuffle, and combo C. The first wire snatch upgrade and color up are also good to get. Of course you can't go wrong with health upgrades.
trickester away whenever he uses doppelganger, trying to rush him down will kill you quick. I think if you shoot it, it disappears

IMO:
Speed
Streak
Air Hike
Payline
Split
Roulette Spin
Combo C
Calibur
Devil Breaker slot
And then start building up towards max Exceed bars and Max Act.
People say to get enemy step soon but you can buy like 4-5 moves first instead of enemy step which is going to be more enjoyable ble starting out. But definitely get enemy step soon.
Going through SOS now and enjoying using V even more.
When all of his summons are on screen wrecking at the same time and the style rank instantly jumps to S...
Switching Griffin from Square to Circle has been working out great so far. I can use both Shadow and Griffin now just with my right thumb. If I want to charge Griffin's attack then I hold Circle double with the middle of the thumb while still hitting Triangle with the tip of it to attack with Shadow at the same time.
Another bonus is that you can easily tap both buttons at the same time with the thumb while combing and both Shadow and Griffin will attack together continuously.

Sorry wrong thread lol!
I am for now. I think everyone should be playing it like this starting out.
In general its hard to give tips on this fight, obviously make sure you combo him till his revenge value. Use RG and save its release till the last phase. And most important for style
Hes a god tier fight even on normal mode with his minimal movesets.
V is really shining on these DMD bosses IMO. Minions get 1-2 shots, so you have to micro manage . Damage is very low, so making use of openers to get off huge Nero/dante style counters is really satisfying. You have to really know the fight though, unlike nero which can do counters on reaction
Dahbomb wrong thread dude!
You know a gripe I always had with this series was how unbelievably stiff the walking animation in every entry. They finally fixed that with DMC5.
If you try to play Dante like a pro at the start you're gonna have a bad time. Gotta ease into it and he's well suited for that.
This. In general, what I did was focus on abilities that upgrade mobility.
lock on system grew on me, nice change of pace having to pick my enemies constantly but it never bugged me in any dmc game
Yep.
About half-way through SOS mode now. Still not a big fan of V, but I can play him okay. It's just a matter of getting Shadow to do what I want. Getting more combos with Nero to come out now, especially with enemy step, but I still have a hard time getting SSS.
Wow Nero is a monster in subsequent runs after the first one. Beasting all over dudes.
The MAX Act timing is tough. I only manage to get it like once in 15 or so tries but when you get it in-combo, Hnnnnnnnnng it's so goooooood!

I just don't see myself ever going past two weapons. I HATED juggling three weapons in DMC4. Dante was much more fun for me in DMC3 (and before I got Lucifer and Pandora in 4) so I'm glad this game lets you stick to two weapons.
I have it down decently now on his first slash. It feels like it's happening around the frame when he starts pulling on the sword but just before it slashes.
Timing-wise it's basically very soon after you hit the slash button (quicker than I expected) and animation wise it's right when he starts pulling on the sword (his hand is still behind his back, holding the sword at his moment).
