Best Skills in Devil May Cry 5

As a fan, I find the real fun in the Devil May Cry series kicks in during replay on tougher settings, once most skills have been unlocked. It’s less about mastering new moves and more about perfecting my air time and combo diversity to secure an SSS ranking in battles with a graceful conclusion.

In the game Devil May Cry 5, players can choose among three primary characters, plus an additional one through DLC. Since there are numerous abilities to uncover within

The set of abilities I’ve acquired have proven beneficial during both typical and challenging modes like Son of Sparda and Dante Must Die, as they have been instrumental in my repeated gaming sessions over time.

10.
Blockade 3

Electrical Demolition

Cost
  • First Upgrade: 2500 Red Orbs
  • Second Upgrade 15000 Red Orbs
Character V
Type Griffon Skill

An expansive Area of Effect (AOE) assault that discharges a volley of five lightning strikes. This skill isn’t only beneficial for managing crowds, but it also inflicts substantial damage on bosses, making it an indispensable ability for character V.

By the way, here’s a helpful suggestion for those seeking versatility: Allocate the gun function to the L1 or LB buttons when using a controller. This adjustment could significantly enhance your gaming experience!

As a fan, I’ve found binding the Griffon’s Blockade 3 skill to L1/LB has significantly enhanced my gaming experience. Previously, since Blockade 3 requires charging, I had to maintain an awkward grip on the controller while attacking with Shadow. But now, with this binding, I can charge and attack simultaneously, making gameplay smoother and more enjoyable for me.

9.
White Gainer

Hold My Devil Trigger

Cost 18000 Red Orbs
Character V
Type Abilities

V’s gameplay is heavily influenced by utilizing Nightmare, particularly when playing at higher levels. Prolonging your time in the Devil Trigger significantly increases your likelihood of emerging victorious from the fight.

In DMC 5, White Gainer is crucial to V as it extends the duration of his Devil Trigger mode. This happens because White Orbs are earned from defeating enemies during Nightmare, and they accumulate to fill up the Devil Trigger meter, thereby lengthening the time you can remain in this enhanced state.

From my perspective, there’s no second thought about using White Grainer, given its incredible benefits. For instance, activating Devil Trigger brings back Griffon or Shadow if they perish. Moreover, this mode grants invincibility for the entire duration of its activity, making it an essential tool in any battle strategy.

8.
The Luce

Laser Hell

Cost 40000 Red Orbs
Character Dante
Type Sin Devil Trigger Skills

As a gamer, I can tell you that wielding The Luce while Dante’s Sin Devil Trigger Mode is activated, empowers me to concentrate my energy. This enhancement transforms into a rapid-fire barrage of homing lasers, inflicting significant long-range damage. In retrospect, it’s the peak of the SDT mode’s formidable abilities.

Because many bosses usually retreat when SDT is triggered, Luce becomes an ideal ability for flipping the situation in challenging battles. It’s both practical and advantageous as it allows you to attack from a secure position with homing lasers that lock onto targets.

A powerful attack that ensures your safety is certain to make it onto this list, and the Luce ability will undoubtedly come in handy for you, especially when you take on the challenges of Hell or Hell Plus difficulty. Furthermore, if this skill manages to hit several enemies at once, the style rank will significantly improve.

7.
MAX-Act

A Timely Upgrade

Cost 45000 Red Orbs
Character Nero
Type Exceed Skills

In a fight, Nero’s destructive power primarily stems from executing attacks infused with Exceed, a trait he has exhibited since his debut in DMC 4. If you’ve perfected the timing for it, get ready to cause chaos with good old Nero (apologies to Nero himself).

It’s great news that powering up Exceed isn’t too challenging, especially with the MAX-Act upgrade. This means players can quickly fill their Exceed meter by tapping L2/LT immediately following an attack. The timing isn’t overly precise, and with some practice, it becomes second nature after a few attempts.

Additionally, combat encounters labeled as ‘Son of Sparda’ and ‘Dante Must Die’ modes in the game demand that you employ Exceed with character Nero; otherwise, run-of-the-mill adversaries could prove challenging due to their inflated health pools and aggressive characteristics.

6.
Blistering Blades

Sword Machine Gun

Cost 13500 Red Orbs
Character Vergil
Type Mirage Blade Skills

As a devoted fan, I find it intriguing that many players underestimate the prowess of Vergil’s swordsmanship in the game. However, from my observations, these gun-style skills are surprisingly potent, and the Blistering Blades, when utilized with the right strategy, can be a real game-changer.

In a combo, Blistering Blades can swiftly be repeated using the L1/LB gun attack, since Vergil’s gun assaults don’t require a wind-up. This allows you to seamlessly transition from melee to ranged attacks without any interruption due to a separate animation for ranged strikes.

One great aspect of Blistering Blades lies in their versatility; they effectively combat various enemy kinds while inflicting substantial health damage and stagger effects. This makes them a perfect choice for anyone embodying the bringer of the impending storm when playing the game.

5.
Maximum Bet

Gambling From Afar

Cost 50000 Red Orbs
Character Nero
Type Devil Bringer Skills

In the context of Nero’s Devil Trigger mode, Maximum Bet proved to be the handiest ability due to its long-range capability, extensive reach, and ease in managing crowds when situations intensify.

Additionally, I find it more effective to employ Maximum Bet rather than Showdown against bosses that move intermittently, as this strategy maximizes the damage I inflict when the boss is stationary. It’s quick to execute a single attack with this method, and subsequent melee attacks or a grab can be easily followed up for a stylish finish.

4.
Swordmaster Level 4

Master Of All Weapons

Cost
  • First Upgrade: 4000 Red Orbs
  • Second Upgrade: 18000 Red Orbs
  • Third Upgrade: 50000 Red Orbs
Character Dante
Type Swordmaster Skills

Focus primarily on the Swordmaster style, as it offers the greatest number of upgrades. When optimally enhanced, it introduces unique moves for Dante’s close combat weapons, a key aspect given Dante’s combative gameplay that heavily relies on combos.

With the ultimate update, or Swordmaster Level 4, you’ll gain access to the most potent strikes for all close-combat weapons. For instance, Balrog’s Real Impact is among the attacks that become available with this upgrade, capable of annihilating many powerful foes in a single, devastating blow.

In essence, reaching Super Meter Level 4 significantly enhances Dante’s arsenal by introducing powerful new attacks, making them capable of overcoming the challenges posed by higher difficulty levels. This necessitates a comprehensive use of all the abilities within Dante’s repertoire.

3.
Dragon Breaker

Shinryu Reppa

Cost 35000 Red Orbs
Character Vergil
Type Beowulf Skills

In the context of the game, it’s clear that Beowulf’s Dragon Breaker attack deals the most damage among all the moves in Vergil’s arsenal. If you have a Concentration gauge that exceeds 75%, you can supercharge this attack up to level 3.

The ability, Dragon Breaker, requires some time to build up energy, yet when activated, it swiftly demolishes various foes. Moreover, it has the power to significantly boost your fashionable combat score with just one flawless takedown.

A more straightforward suggestion for you might be combining this ability with the Heavy Rain Blade attack, as it temporarily incapacitates the enemy, providing an ideal window for you to load up on the Dragon Breaker.

2.
Charge Shot 3

The Revolver Of Sparda

Cost
  • First Upgrade: 7000 Red Orbs
  • Second Upgrade: 18000 Red Orbs
  • Third Upgrade: 45000 Red Orbs
Character Nero
Type Blue Rose Skills

Among the game’s key talents, mastering Charged Shot 3 is crucial for Nero due to its exceptional effectiveness against enemies, even in the challenging Dante Must Die mode.

By designating the shoot function to L1/LB, you’ll find it effortless to power up Nero’s gun attack concurrently with your regular melee combos. This unique attack not only momentarily stuns most adversaries, but the ensuing blast can significantly deplete their health. This feature turns out to be particularly advantageous during Vergil’s boss battle.

My preferred approach when engaging in combat is transitioning from my regular sword strikes to powerful charged shots, and ending with a grab attack to deliver a visually impressive series of damaging combinations, specifically using Nero’s abilities.

1.
Dr. Faust 4

Game-Breaking Hat

Cost
  • First Upgrade: 10000 Red Orbs
  • Second Upgrade: 45000 Red Orbs
  • Third Upgrade: 500000 Red Orbs
Character Dante
Type Dr. Faust Skills

As a gamer, let me tell you, nothing quite compares to having Dr. Faust in your arsenal during Dante’s missions. This hat is like a game-changer, making even the toughest challenges feel like a walk in the park. With just one press of a button, I can wipe out everything standing in my way. When I was stuck trying to beat Dante’s story on DMD difficulty, Dr. Faust became my secret weapon, helping me earn S ranks with ease. It’s almost as if this game-breaking weapon was sent from heaven to make my gaming life easier!

The Dr. Faust 4 ability significantly enhances the usability of weapons and is crucial if you aim to easily obtain an S rank during Dante’s missions. This skill also greatly boosts the number of red orbs spent and earned during battles, so essentially, you’re taking a chance for that S rank, which usually works out in your favor.

With Dr. Faustus 4 in our arsenal, you’ll find that even fundamental shooting skills will let you repeatedly stun and defeat any enemy with ease. In case of intense combat situations, you can rely on your weapon’s Red Hot Night skill, a powerful ability that summons meteor showers, capable of instantaneously defeating bosses in a single shot.
