Ok, I think all of the Devil Breakers are fun to use... except for Ragtime. Anyone else finds that one the most underwhelming? Its slowmo effect is based on an area and a small one at that, so enemies can incredibly easily get out of it.

I think if it was made so that instead of a small AOE bubble, it just slowed down a single enemy it would be a lot less boring outside of its Break Age.
You can kill most boss easyly in dante must die with ragtime, also if you keep press circle until the breaker charge than release, ragtime will freeze everyone in the game area, whit this techniques you can easy kill everyone and also most boss in no time on DMD....
 
Enemies break out of it when they go through the devil trigger animation

Also it does nothing as an attack

So it's underpowered

I killed many boss and get s rank whit rag time so I can't say it's useless XD
Or course it's underpowered you could imagine if it give damage? The game would have been unbalanced

Yes in fact I didnt write anywhere that you can't say that, and all I say above was my expirience and opinion... I was only expressing what I think of ragtime... Why everyone in this forum always seem to be attacked lol Every breaker is useful and need to be used in different circumstance, if you equip ragtime and overture and block time whit ragtime than use overture you can kill everyone easy and get s rank this make it one of the best breaker, it depend on the tipe of gameplay someone is going after... For exemple i find Gerber weaker and almost uselless, but it's my tipe of gameplay that probably doesn't apply to it, probably for other that's the same whit ragtime, also i don't like tomboy neither but just my opinion

I didn't even say anything about how powerful it is or isn't, just that it's not fun to use. I really think it should have been target based rather than area based. Or the bubble should have been slightly bigger. Cause it is too small to really count for anything. Yeah against bosses it becomes more fun and I already said that its Break Age move is a lot better, but in its normal use outside Break Age against regular waves of enemies, meh. At least for me.

Oh, and the bubble also lasts for too little.

Double Tapping the DT button to summon Nightmare will make him come out shoot a laser beam and return back. Costs 1 DT bar.

Did you manage to pull that off yourself? Cause if I try to double tap DT it just summons Nightmare and he does his regular things. It doesn't seem like the game recognizes double tapping, it seems it only cares about the first button press.

Haha you

Nobody was attacking or being attacked , I'm simply debating ragtime

Which is why I added an lol to my first statement about your entitlement

Anyway moving on , for fun lads use the monkey business breaker lol
 
I mainly use Ragtime for bosses and certain enemies. Ragtime + Showdown (when boss is stunned) + Buster Breaker= MAX Damage.

The Breaker I used the least was Helter Skelter with Tomboy being a close second. Somebody mentioned an exploit with Tomboy, so now I am going to have to try it.
 
Been meaning to ask this but, Nero once he's got a devil trigger and his devil bringer powers back, anyone else feel like he's the most op character at that point?
 
Story or Gameplay wise ? Not really no

His super character is op though

Always has level 3 exceed charged and charge shots ready

Gameplay wise. When I played the first time, i thought Dante felt like the strongest. But once I got to play with Nero during my second playthrough, just feels like Nero really op now
 
Once you master Dante , especially quadruple s

He is a monster

And aerial wise and thanks to royal guard and his new summoned swords he is unstoppable

V is op at times too

Nero is only op in certain scenarios gameplay wise

He is deffo way stronger to play as new game plus though

Devil Trigger + Super Buster = stacked damage
Makes some fights go faster and can possibly instant-kill troublesome enemies in your path for Hell and Hell or Dante Must Die mode.

Probably gonna save some Buster Arms for any Proto Angelos, Behemoths or Furies I meet.
 
Somehow managed to get No Damage for Qlipoth and Sky Hunter, Hell and Hell mode.
You gotta really abuse the Break Age moves to make some areas "surefire".

I still don't have any "surefire" strategies for Death Scissors, so for Sky Hunter, I parry them all with Gerbera and finish them off with Buster.
Helps if you could shoot down all the bookshelves or fire a Punch Line to smash them all, giving you some space before the Death Scissor spawns.
