Tips to get SSS Rank with Nero in Devil May Cry 5

It’s really fun to be able to do combos that lead you to SSS rank in Devil May Cry 5. By presenting three cool bilis hunters namely Dante, Nero and V, you will realize that they have a cool set of skills that bring style and energy to the fight.

But there’s more to the demons to slay than just firing your gun or simply swinging your super large sword. Since the action game has complex combat, you will need to study and understand its cunning mechanics and combat nuances in order to leave an impression on Devil May Cry 5’s enemies.

In this tutorial, we’ll give you an overview of one of the main characters of Devil May Cry 5- specifically Nero. Whether it’s getting timing on his Exceed mechanics or deciding which Devil Breaker you’re going to use, Nero has plenty of options when it comes to exterminating demons.

If you’ll spend some time and learn how each character functions, you’ll be able to gain the elusive SS rank in no time. So with that in mind, here are our breakdowns on Nero in DMC5.

Outline
As one of the most used characters, Nero’s charismatic and combative nature features a series of moves that bring a lot of mechanics back from DMC4, which includes his grappling moves from a distance.

With a skill set that emphasizes timing and cherging attacks, Nero’s fighting style is about creating opportunities and executing the main attack with his Red Queen sword, Blue Rose revolver and Devil Breaker. The Devil Breaker isn’t Nero’s newest weapon, though, which allows you to gain a series of special arms into battle.

This new mechanism can be changed to normal attacks and introduces cool moves that can slow down time or give additional projectile attacks.

Nero is the most agile and acrobatic character in the game, and he has evasive skills and prowess in fighting enemies in the air. With the Table Hopper ability, Nero can access a series of feints and dodge just as the enemy is about to attack, sending him moving into the blind spot in a very slippery move.

Nero also has several attacks that allow him to stay in the air, such as the Roulette and Calibur skills. If there’s a good way to describe Nero, he’s basically the noisier of the trio, focusing on speed, hitting heavy punches when he can dodge when needed.

Devil Breaker

Devil Breaker is a game changer for Nero when paired with his basic moves. This special arm allows me to draw powerful, if a little odd, action for Nero, greatly expanding his skill set. For example, the initial breaker is Overture, a melee arm that deals an incredible lightning punch that can also be turned into a remote bomb.

Also, Gerbera’s air attacks, which can be doubled when dodging, which can be very effective when you want to keep yourself or your enemies in the air. Unfortunately, this breaker is very easy to break and being hit when using it can cause it to break. So you will need to be careful about which moments are best to use them.

One of the main restrictions of Devil Breaker, however, is that you cannot freely change between the arms in your magazine. To change your next arm, you’ll need to either break it yourself (making a small explosion in the process) or use charge attacks in the arm.

With this in mind, you will need to customize your output to complement your unique fighting style and fighting approach. Although Gerbera and Overture have always been reliable, other significant breakers are Punch Line and The Tomboy.

Punch Line is a super fast rocket arm that can target a single enemy and hit him repeatedly, while Tomboy charges his sword and shoots Nero, greatly changing his attack order and power.

Killing Tips

When playing as Nero, the best way to build up your SSS ranking is to keep moving, dodge enemy attacks, and run quickly with quick punches on a constant basis. One of Nero’s killing skills that must be mastered is the Exceed mechanism.

With this motorized and powerful sword, you will be able to hit the left trigger to charge repeatedly to build up energy, a more efficient way to get charge is to hit the Exceed button while simultaneously swinging your sword.

If you can find the timing, you will be able to amplify his attack and power instantly. Mastering timing can be very useful during combat, as you can link them together with a variety of charge attacks during single combos.

Unlocking the Max-Act skill will allow you to fully charge the Red Queen to its limit with the precise Exceed button.

Nero is also effective in crowding out enemies with his attacks. Streak’s killing skill, a quick attack that propels Nero forward with his sword, is an attack to push enemies together, but Exceed’s various variations will turn it into multiple blows.

With a group of enemies thrown together, you can use his Devil Breaker to deal damage to the group that was stopped. For example, Punch Line’s normal attacks are solid moves, but special Gerberas, whether ground or air attacks, are a good choice to use when enemies are knocked out or when you’re fighting in close quarters.

Nero is very proficient in quick tactics, but for some extra finesse, he can also use a unique mockery, which happens to provide an advantage in assassinations. Jokes are basically a great way to rank up styles, but some of Nero’s pranks can even charge up his sword and firepower.

In addition, Nero is the only character in the game to have aerial mockery, which is a surprisingly effective way to dodge attacks and gain extra air time. By taking advantage of its multifunctional arm, aerial tactics, and great speed and punch potential, you can work your way up to SSS rank in no time.
