The game is packed with some ridiculous learning curves as well merciless enemies which tear at your character as well as your sanity, along with its complicated weapon systems and styles new players are often lost at first. And that is why I have decided to write a FAQ, in order to point out the advantages of the many weapons in the game as well as their weaknesses. Note that this FAQ won't tell you how to complete certain parts of the game, it simply states my opinions on the weapons and the potential damage it could perform. Before I start I would like to send a few thank-you(s) to L337 Onimusha and YuriSEAL (Feel free to complain if I spelt your name wrong) for their support, because without them this FAQ would be lying in page 59 in the forum. So without further ado here is the Devil Arms FAQ. Oh god it's been a few months since I visited GameFAQs, guess moving and starting uni is really taxing on your free time T_T. But here it is probably the last version of the FAQ, I finally spent the time to recheck everything and corrected (many^infinity) mistakes. *************************************************************************** Legend: 0002 *************************************************************************** T: Triangle (Attack button) mT: mash attack button mO: mash circle button O: Circle (Style attack button) ~: A pause to initiate another attack =: Switch to another weapon >: Towards enemy <: Away from enemy SM: Swordmaster ************************************************************************** -Agni Rudra- 0003 ************************************************************************** "And where two waging fires meet together They do consume the thing that feeds their fury. Though little fire grows great with little wind, Yet extreme gusts will blow out fire and all." William Shakespeare quotes A very balanced weapon, it strikes fast, rapidly and does decent damage. It is also one of the better weapons for crowd control because of its sweeping main combo and its sword master style moves. However it's not a perfect weapon, some attacks has noticeable recoil or leave Dante open to enemy attacks, where the only option is to either take it like a man, or DT and reduce the potential damage. ***Move List and brief description*** Combo I: T,T,T,T,T,T Combo II: T~T,T Combo III: T~T~T - Million Slash: T~T~mT Aerial Cross: T (in air) Jet-Stream: R1+>+T Whirlwind: R1+<+T Combo I - will be your primary crowd control with Agni Rudra, it has a big range due to it's swinging motions and keeps Dante relatively thanks to the fact that the move keeps Dante moving. Combo II - is more targeted towards single opponents, it is not as strong as Combo III however has much faster recoil. Combo III - Million Slash, is the best way to eradicate a single enemy without the use of Sword Master, as it is both powerful and focused. Its wide sweeping arcs could also hit multiple enemies providing that they are close enough. It is a great way to get SSStylish very quickly using Agni Rudra.However beware of it's recoil as Dante can't dodge or move during the last few seconds of the move. Aerial Cross - a diagonal slash using both swords forming an X, it is a powerful aerial attack, useful for finishing off a combo or a link from Whirlwind. Jet Stream - Agni Rudra's version of Stinger (see Rebellion), it slower than Stinger and doesn't recover as quickly. However it is better in a way because it doesn't send the enemies flying back therefore a combo instantly creates a combo opportunity. Whirlwind - Agni Rudra's version of High Time, basically an uppercut that sends the enemy flying upwards. Dante will follow the enemy if the T button is held ***Description of SM moves*** *Crossed Swords (O)* A powerful upward diagonal slash by both swords forming an X, it is a powerful move both for ending combos or as a semi powerful attack/ However it leaves Dante open afterwards when he re-sheaths the blades. I often use it to end a combo since it is more powerful than most of the other moves and it can hit multiple opponents sending them flying away. *Sky Dance (O whilst in air)* An aerial combo, best linked from Whirlwind (R1+<+T). It is a multi hit aerial combo that ends with a spinning downward slash that could hit nearby enemies that are waiting on the ground. Again it leaves Dante open after he lands, so for certain situations it might simply be better to end the combo with Aerial Cross (T in air) and jump again using air hike and landing in a safer location. *Crawler (R1+>+O)* Dante strikes the ground with both swords, creating a wave of fire and wind that strikes any enemies across its path. It is a long range attack that could be useful after a move that launches the enemy far away, like Crossed Swords. However as with many long range moves, it is slow in recoil, but makes it up with its range. *Twister (R1+<+O) > Tempest (mO)* My favorite Agni Rudra move, Dante connects the blades and spins them above his head creating a tornado of fire and wind. All nearby enemies are hurt including those which are in midair. But that's not the end of the move, mash the O button and Dante will launch into the air and create an even larger tornado (Tempest T sorry the name escapes me) is slightly riskier as a lunging move, unlike Stinger which comes out immediately and ends almost instantly as well. However unlike Stinger, it doesn't send the enemy flying away giving you a window of opportunity to combo him. So it might not be as safe, however its long term benefits overcomes this risk. I find Agni Rudra's air damage to be the highest. Against a boss which cannot escape, you can combo Aerial Cross with the Sky Dance (in air T,O,O,O,T) Which I believe does more damage than simply completing the Sky Dance combo. You can extend this combo further, by simply changing to Rebellion and perform aerial rave with that or do it the other way around starting with Rebellion and finishing the combo with Agni Rudra. Either way probably one of the safer methods of developing style as well as doing tons of damage. There are other neat combos with Rebellion and Agni Rudra like a simple Stinger followed by a Crawler (>T,=,>O). I believe you can further improve this combo, by using sword pierce before crawler. However I haven't tested that, but I will point out (once again) that Agni Rudra is quite capable in long range combat as it is in close range combat. Against a single opponent, I would prefer to either launch it into the air and Sky Dance/Aerial Cross him or perhaps Sky Dance and Helm Splitter. Which is good since it ends the combo on the ground with Rebellion, a perfect chance to use Dance Maccabre. So as you can see Agni Rudra can fit into many situations, not only to keep opponents back but to also go into the offensive making it an excellent weapon. *************************************************************************** -Beowulf- 0004 *************************************************************************** "Though my soul may set in darkness, It will rise in perfect light" - Sarrah Williams A great weapon that is capable of producing the largest amount of damage in the shortest period of time. However it does have its weaknesses, first of all it's a gauntlet therefore it lacks the range and crowd control of larger weapons. In a nutshell a weapon which directs large amounts of damage to quickly kill one opponent at a time. However with the Swordmaster style it has extra moves to remedy this weakness. ***Move List and brief description*** Combo I: T,T,T Combo II: T,T~T,T - Hyper Fist: T,T~mT Killer Bee: T (in air) Straight: R1+>+T Beast Uppercut: R1+<+T Rising Dragon: R1+<+T,T Combo I - A standard punch, punch, kick combo, where the kick launches the opponent and has a noticeable recoil. However it is safe most of the time and delivers quite a lot of damage, for its lack of crowdcontrol. Combo II - A more powerful combo, that does potentially more damage, for more risk Combo III - An even more powerful combo, that comes at the risk of its recoil after the ender. Unlike other crazy mashing moves, it is very difficult to hit more than one opponent with this move. However luckily Dante can jump or roll midcombo to cancel it. Killer Bee - A great aerial attack as it sends Dante at a diagonal angle towards his opponent. It deals quite a large damage, however as with other Beowulf move it has some recoil. Straight - Beowulf's version of Stinger, fast, sends enemy flying and does decent damage. However it is slightly slower than Rebellion's stinger. Incorporated with Rebellion you can do a double lunging move which is great for moving rapidly and quickly towards an opponent. Beast Uppercut - Rising Dragon : Beowulf's version of High Time, more damaging that High Time, however is slower at start up. And compared with other uppercut moves it is slightly different because you can charge it to make it more deadly. And to launch with the opponent you need to press T and quickly press it again in rapid succession, sending both Dante and the opponent in the air for combo opportunities. ***Description of Swordmaster style moves:*** *Zodiac (O)* A long range elemental attack, similar to meteor from DMC. Dante rears back crouching slightly and placing his right arm in an uppercut position and his other arm pointing forwards, once released Dante launches a ray of light from his arm towards the targeted enemy. Zodiac could be delayed/charged, which causes an increase of damage and range. *The Hammer (O Button in Air)* A double handed strike downwards in midair, send enemies directly plummeting from the air, and it does not send Dante to the ground like Killer Bee or Helm Splitter. It is quite powerful and is a good followup from a Beast Uppercut.And could then be followed by a Helm Splitter (Rebellion) or Volcano. *Volcano (R1+>+O Button)* Dante punches the earth and a great pillar of light emerges from the ground hurting nearby enemies. It can hurt enemies that are jumping towards Dante. It is powerful and the startup time is not bad, however if whiffed the recoil from the move would probably allow enemies to get hits in. It is a great crowd control move as most enemies will be thrown backwards when they're hit. *Real Impact (R1+<+O) > Tornado (mO)* It is a rising uppercut with a very long starting time, Dante rears back putting his right arm in an uppercut position, once the startup is finished Dante punches the enemy with incredible speed launching himself and the enemy into the air, and he could then follow up with Tornado which is a Street Fighter style whirlwind kick damaging any enemies that are in the air or is originally launched with Real Impact. After Tornado, Dante can then Killer Bee towards the ground, or simply land and continue fighting. However Real Impact has one of the longest starting time other than Drive, so the move is not to be used thoughtlessly (< is that a real word?) ***Strategy and other tidbits*** Beowulf is different from other weapons, because of its short range and chargeable moves. Nearly all of Beowulf's moves can be charged in order to increase its damage. However that's not the extent of its usefulness. The charge can be used as a defensive maneuver instead of charging head on towards an enemy group sometimes, it is wise to stay back and charge and when the enemy approaches you can feed them with a charged straight or other attack. You will almost always start a Beowulf attack with T,T because other moves such as straight or Volcano will ruin your combo opportunities by sending them flying. Why T,T? you ask, why not T,T,T? Because T,T opens up more opportunities than T,T,T in fact instead of dialing T,T,T it is often better to simply go T,T and consider your next action from there. Also T,T,T leads to a the kick ender, which is quick to start however during the jumping kick Dante could not roll or cancel into another move or even block with Royal Guard. That's why I often opt for T,T rather than T,T,T. T,T can lead to almost any Beowulf move, from the Beast uppercut which can lead to many awesome combos, or even Volcano to keep enemies at bay and prevent further attacks. Or in a hypothetical situation where the opponent dies from T,T you can immediately target a new opponent and perform Straight (>T). Now if you were performing T,T,T this option won't be available until Dante lands his high kick. It's basic T,T,T attack is a powerful punch, punch kick combo, in which the kick launches the enemy up. Allowing you either jump up and use Killer Bee (T, in air) or The Hammer (O in air with SM) to send the opponent plummeting to the ground. That or you can charge a dragon uppercut and launch it when they land launching them up again. Or my personal favorite follow up is to use The Real Impact (+T Windmill: R1+<+T Combo I - rapid powerful swings of the Cerberus, able to hit multiple nearby opponents. Making it a great weapon for close combat with many enemies Combo II - similar combo to I, however it has a slightly further range in its 5th and 6th strike and ends in a windmill. Can be cancelled into satellite for striking enemies around Dante. Swing - a great aerial move that has decent range and does decent damage. Basically a large swing of the Cerberus. Revolver - a spinning forward strike that hits multiple times, Dante leaps forwards and spinning rapidly in midair. Good damage, strikes enemy to the front and rear. However Dante is susceptible to damage during the attack, and the attack can't be cancelled. Windmill - a defensive move great for cancelling enemy moves, however has slight recoil. ***Description of SM moves:*** *Flicker (O)* Dante swings Cerberus around him, hitting enemies that are close to him. Effective as a combo ender or to interrupt attacking enemies, it does decent damage, but nothing phenomenal. *Crystal (R1+>+O)* Dante thrusts Cerberus into the ground and a wave of ice appears from the ground hitting any opponent in front of him. This is one of the move that makes Cerberus versatile as an alternate weapon, you can stinger (straight or any other move that send the opponent flying forward) and switch to Cerberus to use Crystal punishing the opponent even further. *Million Carats (>OmO)* A follow up to Crystal, Dante hits the ground hard with the hilts of Cerberus causing ice to split from the ground all around him. Useful since Crystal is a move that leaves Dante open and if an opponent is somewhere near him a followup to Million Carats is a good idea. The problem with the move is there is a slight start up time, however you can immediately jump right after the move is finished. *Ice Age (R1+<+O)* Dante swings Cerberus quickly around him covering him in a sheet of ice. This move despite looking useless at first, is actually pretty useful. Especially against multiple opponents, basically when Dante is covered in ice enemies trying to attack will only get hurt trying to get close. And it also eliminates some long range attacks, such as the ones used by the Abyss. So in a situation where you're fighting multiple Abysses, you simply hone in on one and start wailing on it, when you spot another Abyss preparing to launch a projectile start Ice Age. You will not only hurt the opponent you're wailing on, but you'll also protect yourself from the projectile. However there is a start up and recoil after the move, and as usual the enemies can hurt you. *** Strategy and other tidbits *** Cerberus is a fine choice for aerial battles, it's revolver move mixed with it's T attack in air does fine damage. However Agni Rudra is still better, because first of all it can Air Hike (which I believe Cerberus should have) and it could air combo with it's Sword Master style. In risk, I would rank Cerberus next to or under Rebellion, because its attacks are so fast that it can usually stun most enemies before they even attack. And with combos like satelite and Ice Age, which are more defensive than they are offensive, often times enemies will have trouble reaching you. Cerberus also have the shortest list of shop items, it only has two moves which is revolver (>T and in air) and Windmill (+T High Time: R1+<+T Drive: T(hold and release) Combo I - a standard three sword slash, that is actually quite powerful for a starter weapon Combo II - a great move for defense and offense. Basically a standard strike followed by a spinning slash that hits and stuns nearby opponent. Allowing for almost any follow up, including the million stab. Helm Breaker - a powerful vertical strike from the air. It is powerful, however it could be dangerous if done to attack a group of enemies. Stinger - a powerful strike sending Dante dashing forward stabing at an opponent. It is powerful, and sends the opponent flying, however has a noticeable recoil. High Time - an uppercut done with the Rebellion that sends the enemy flying enabling a follow up, to numerous possibilities. Drive - a dangerous attack as it has a long startup, but deals an enormous amount of damage almost as much as The Real Impact. However it is better in a way because it can very easily hit multiple enemies. ***The Rebellion section of the FAQ was written by YuriSEAL (well he never replied to whether or not he would like his work to be in a FAQ, but I think he won't mind :D)*** Probably my single favourite weapon. It's a sword - fairly good for crowd control due to its long range, fairly fast due to the light weight and simplicity of the weapon, and fairly strong due to the fact that it's six feet long and sharp. It's a magical weapon (elementally, at least.) ***Description of SM moves:*** *Prop Shredder (O,O/O->mO)* Dante spins the sword in front of him. He'll swing it in a vaguely upwards motion, launching enemies, the first time. He'll then do the move again with no launching properties. The second spin can be extended (seemingly, at least) in the midst of combat. A fairly mediocre move, but useful for boosting style. It's also good for deflecting a few attacks (V3's Round Trip, for example.) *Aerial Rave (O,O,O,O in midair)* Dante slashes four times in midair. The slashes aren't exactly ridiculously strong, but they do fairly good damage and they boost style rank fairly quickly (especially when one hits multiple enemies.) Aerial Rave and Aerial Cross are the best continuations to a rising High Time that exist. It's that simple. *Sword Pierce (R1+>+Circle)* Dante throws the sword, hopefully hitting an enemy with it. While the sword is off in la-la land, you can perform thrust kicks on the ground (Stinger- like)and dragon kicks in the air (homing downward kicks.) This move is fairly good for tying up enemies from a distance, it has pretty good damage for a ranged attack, and it's quite good at deflecting a few attacks. Unfortunately, now that the hand-to-hand moveset it once unlocked has been axed, the move is pretty mediocre. You can use it to get a bit of extra damage while you use your other weapon, to knock back a few attacks, and to stun a few bosses or enemies. *Dance Macabre->Crazy Dance (R1+<+O->mO)* Dante dashes forward with an "Are you ready?" and performs a number of fast sword swings, culminating in a Million Stab which ends in a normal combo ender slash. If you mash Circle, then he will perform a pole dance and end in a pumped-up version of the pole dance exit swing. If there isn't a convenient pole, he'll spin on the sword. A very, very useful combo...When the time is right. However, although the Crazy Dance portion renders you nearly immune to melee attacks, the Million Stab right before it is extremely dangerous, and the combo is so long that it's quite easy to get interrupted. When it's used, however, it can quite easily pump up one's style rank and lay the hurtin' on whoever's got your number. ***Strategies and other tidbits:*** It's an awesome weapon for comboing and getting Style ranks up. Million Stab and Aerial Rave will make your Style Rank skyrocket when you hit multiple enemies, and the Crazy Dance can get you from a Dull to a SSStylish with a measly two enemies taking it. Most of its moves don't have severe recovery lag and come out quickly (no delay.) It's an awesome weapon. Million Stab is unique in that it's the only crazy combo move that can be performed in more than one way. Mashing Triangle during Combo #2(T~T), mashing Triangle during Stinger, and doing the Dance Macabre. ***Strategies and other tidbits:*** by Wr4ith_Bl4d3 Definitely a weapon you can have equipped at all times, though it's ranged attack is not as good as crawler, or crystal, it makes it up at it's close combat prowess. It is probably the safest weapon, because of its size, fast attacks, and some crowdcontrol. It's only weakness is probably its damage output. T~T is by far the most useful combo it has, essentially it's a diagonal slash followed by a spinning slash, that stuns all nearby opponent, and the move actually lasts pretty long and does quite some damage. However the real power of this combo, is that it's long and safe enough that you can basically do anything. You can switch weapons and continue comboing, you can cancel into Dance Macabre, you can stinger, or just plain jump away to get to a better location or run away if you like :S Dance Macabre is a great move, however I would only use it against single enemies, or when I'm absolutely sure I won't get hurt whilst in mid combo. Like Yuri mentioned it takes a while to finish the million stab, which is the point where you're most vulnerable. So use the move with care, because it has great potential if used right. I often use Rebellion with Agni Rudra or Beowulf. Because I believe these weapons compliment Rebellion's fighting style. Agni Rudra because it is good allround, has great long range move, and can really aid in Rebellion's air game, with it's Aerial Rave and Dance combo. Beowful simply because Rebellion covers Beowulf's weakness, it can aid in crowd control and has the stunning powers to open them up to Beowulf's extreme damage. Rebellion also works exceptionaly well with Royal Guard, because like Cerberus there are many times where you can cancel into Guard such as T~T. And with Rebellions added range it might very well be the best weapon to be paired with Royal Guard. *************************************************************************** -Nevan- 0007 *************************************************************************** "Yes, death is strong, but look you, the strongest, Stronger is music than death" -Franz Werfel quotes Right okay, Nevan this time around. I'll start by saying Nevan is not my favorite weapon. Why? Well it is by no means a bad weapon, it's fighting style is just so different from the other weapons primarily because it is a long range weapon as well as a short range one. And I feel that I'm not as mobile whilst using the weapon, which is very dangerous in this game. ***Description of all moves*** *Tune Up* Okay this is the first move you'll probably use when you grab Nevan. Basically Dante does a short swipe with Nevan and remains in a guitar playing stance, this stance will lead to other moves. Listed Below: - Combo 1 (T while in Tune up): Basically Dante will start strumming on his guitar causing an electric bat to spawn and attack the enemy. And if the attack button is held, more and more bats will spawn around him, effectively creating a shield and offering more damage when the bats are released. - Combo 2 (Press right and T while in Tune up): Very similar to Combo one except Dante will play the guitar a little differently. And basically you can cover yourself with bats by switching from Combo 1 to 2, which is good if you're surrounded. - Jamming Session: Is a follow up from Combo 2, simply start mashing and Dante will slide on to his knees, creating more bats which will spiral around him damaging nearby enemies, the move ends with a large explosion and Dante yelling "Yeah". The downside to this move is that the recoil time is a real pain, Dante will remain in his knees shouting "YEAH" and whilst he's doing this you can't do anything except pray that all the enemies are stunned by the move. However on a brighter note if you stop mashing early, before Dante goes "Yeah" you can jump and prevent the lag, but of course the most damage comes from the last shock of the move. So it's a double edged blade - Combo 3 (Press left and T while in Tune-up): Dante will strum the guitar and a shockwave of lighting will encompass Dante sending all nearby enemies back. A good defensive move, especially against incoming enemies. It comes out very quickly and is very useful because of Nevan's more defensive attacking style. However with all fast moves there will be a slight pause, which will leave you open. *Reverb Shock (R1+>+T):* Nevan's version of Stinger, Dante rushes forward putting the end of the guitar in front of him launching any enemies in front of him whilst summoning bats that will attack any more enemies in front of him. *Bat Rift (R1+<+T): * Nevan's uppercut which launches enemies and if held Dante will place the guitar over his shoulders and start strumming creating bats that will attack nearby enemies. ***Description of SM Moves*** *Slash and Air-Slash (O or O in air): * Nevan transform into a scythe and Dante performs a downwards slash. This is quite effective as a finisher, however it is less defensive than all other Nevan move and it has some recoil so I don't really know why you should use this move. *Feedback (R1+Hold left+O) : * Dante spins Nevan around him rapidly and then leaps forward and strums the guitar creating a tiny shockwave. This is actually a pretty good move if you're surrounded by enemies. Or after launching an opponent since it juggles quite well. *Crazy Roll (mash O whilst doing Feedback) : * A follow up to Feedback, if you keep mashing T Dante will spin Nevan wildly spinning in the air and finishing the combo by a diagonal swing of Nevan. Basically a better version of feedback, once again good against lots of enemies. *Distortion (R1+<+O) :* Dante strums Nevan rapidly covering himself in a purplish glow.And when he stops strumming, waves of bats stream forward to attack the enemies. If held more bats will spawn and attack the enemies. I guess it's a decent move albeit slow to start up and it is not bad in terms of increasing stylish point. ***Strategies and other tid bits*** Okay you can read that I'm not too enthusiastic about Nevan, because I can barely use the weapon. Unlike Agni Rudra or Rebellion which I enjoy using. The way I use Nevan is simply performing combo 1, 2, 3 and that way nothing will get close to me and if something does I will do an extended combo 2 or combo 3 and then I'll flee like a little girl. I don't know why but I just don't like Nevan. However I can say that it is effective in remaining defensive and attacking multiple opponents from afar. *Update* One way I like to use Nevan is to use it for its Reverb slash, which is actually one of its more useful move in my opinion, I can simply Reverb Slash, and change weapon to do deliver more damage. So in a way, you can stay afar and use the combos, and then when the enemies are close you can Reverb Slash and then continue on from there using a more close-range oriented weapon, such as Rebellion or Beowulf. After some more testing I feel that I've judged the weapon too early, it is not as damaging as the other weapon, nor do I feel comfortable with it. But it is a very interesting weapon, and it's very unique, though I might not use it ever again, I have to say it is rather fun using it at times. *Another update OMG WTF* Okay after my few months break, I decided to replay DMC, and this time using Nevan. Once again the weapon reveals that it's secret. So long as you know what you're doing, the weapon is safe enough and probably has the best crowd control. By grouping enemies together and using Jam session allowing with Reverb Shock, you can really mess a group of enemies up. And this is a good thing especially in DMD, where you don't want to kill enemies one by one, because that'll just cause other enemies to DT and put you in a precarious position. Using it against DTed enemies is probably not a good idea, because it can't really stun the enemy. Leave that to the power hitters such as Beowulf, so once again don't underestimate this weapon. It is great in capable hands. ***Nevan strategy by Derakon*** "I use Nevan primarily as a style booster. It's great for crowd control, primarily because of two moves: Jam Session and Feedback. Jam Session is like a Million Stab or Million Slash move, except that it has an insanely huge area of effect. If you catch two enemies with it, you'll be up in the S ranks from nothing; three gets you SSStylish easily. Feedback is a shorter, closer-range version of Jam Session, essentially. It has very little startup time, though, which makes it useful when you're in a hurry (or if you can't pull off Jam Session reliably). Both are well-suited to racking up the style after you've knocked the enemies down with another weapon. In general, Nevan is a crowd-control weapon. Its attacks that hit a single enemy are not terribly useful in my experience, but its multitarget attacks hit many times. Wading into a group of enemies and doing Feedback, or using Jam Session on some stunned enemies, is a great way to safely gain style (and inflict some respectable damage in the process)." -Derakon *************************************************************************** Contact Details 0008 *************************************************************************** Right first of all this is my first FAQ, why do I put this last, well because I don't want people to stop reading at the top of the page thinking "ooo this FAQ is made by a n00b" But anyway if you have anything to ask or add to the FAQ feel free to e-mail me at: Wr4ith_Bl4d3@yahoo.com I would appreciate it if you don't e-mail me for malicious reasons e.g. viruses, hate mails, etc. I've learned a lot from writting my first FAQ and it has inspired me to write some other FAQ, if I have time that is -_-.
