Weapon-switching and the temporary super form, Devil Trigger, are both staples of the franchise, and Vergil has access to these features. His play style consists of quick and decisive slashes, teleportation, sword projectiles, a doppelganger projection, and more. Vergil’s inclusion adds a 4th character to the mix as his more direct and imposing nature translates once again to his gameplay.

V is a more tactical character as he summons familiars to do damage for him so he can finish off enemies with his cane.

Dante’s level of complexity and multitude of weapons make him the most fun character to play and experiment with while pulling off some of the flashiest combos in the series.
