Is it just me or do the Rebellion and the Ebony and Ivory not do that much damage anymore?

[Samad]

So I was playing the demo (once again) and I just think the 2 other weapons (Osiris and arbiter) make you forget about using the main 2 weapons and once you do use the rebellion and the guns, they just do not have that much power which again causes me to switch back to the (Osiris and Arbiter). Whats devil may cry without its main weapons.?

 

[Frantix]

You can upgrade them. The weapons in the demo weren't powered up, so don't expect that to be it's true effectiveness.

You're just not using their full potential.
Only Rebellion's helm breaker could bring down the flying enemies to the ground, and drive is at it's strongest in the series.
Also Trillion stabs is one of the strongest moves in the demo, DT stabs is enough to kill any enemy you wish with a high rank bonus.
Ebony & Ivory could stun any enemy with one short burst (Which is almost like cheating) and breaks enemies guards.
Also the just timed blue shot is strong enough to stun a chainsaw drone which is currently attacking you and destroy flying cherubs at a distance.
It's real strong and easy to use.

I am not saying they are useless. All I am saying is the other 2 weapons ( Osiris and Arbiter) make u wanna use less of the main weapons ( Rebellion and Ebony and Ivory)

For those who want to steamroll through the game without giving a damn about style, probably. There are plenty of not-so-good weapons in DMC3 yet people still use them. Variety is the spice of life.

lol I dont think there was a weapon in dmc 3 which was not good. Each weapon had its use and People chose the combo of weapons they found easily match- able with their style.... talking about dmc 3 is making me want to play it now lol

I founds Cerberus, Kalina Ann, Artemis and Nevan to be pretty useless. It all comes down to preference really.

Nevan is the best weapon ! come on xD

 

[crush]

It is cool. But it's extremely difficult to use and has no attacking power and it leaves you standing open to attacks...I find Agni and Rudra is a weapon only to do crossed swords and tempest. That one is also hard to use. Ever used crawler? It's called "Sensei" for a really good reason in the DMC community that I'm in.

Well dmc 3 was also about looking bad-ass and for me nevan was the first choice for me and i dont know about the crawler?

 

[Gbraga]

Disagree, the Rebellion is actually my favorite.

 

[Frazz]

I would say that all weapons are equally good from what I played in the demo. Rebellion is for medium damage and its death coil move is crowd control on a smaller scale... Drive and Trillion Stab are very useful for a high style! Tbh I probably use Rebellion most due to Trillion Stab .

 

[SuperDante007]

I agree, I love Rebellion and use it most of the time, Osiris is kind of useless to me, I like to get up close and personal and dish out heavy damage with Rebellion & Arbiter, Arbiter is fast but a little too weak for my liking but I think they will all be a lot better fully upgraded

 

[crush]

I think Rebellion does great when used in pause weapon change combos.
The pause combo of Osiris doesn't make a wide attack so I change it to Death coil when enemies are around me.
Almost the same thing with Aribiter. Trinity smash is at it's full power when you utilise the weapon change combo.
Hope all the weapons have nice effects as rake when it's upgraded.

Each weapon actually plays really well into variety and a flow in the combat.

Rebellion is in the middle, offering both, great ground combos, aerial combos and drop attacks. Osiris is on that lighter end, offering a distinct ground game, but many more aerial combos at the cost of keeping you in the air (even going higher), with no ways to bring people down. Arbiter has little aerial game, but gives more options for drop attacks, and has some great moves on the ground if you want to commit to them.

To the point, the Style system works on variety, right? So they wanted to give each weapon a purpose, but then also urge you to cover that weapon's shortcomings with the other weapon's strengths. There's a distinct flow you can get into when using the weapons, and it's done in such a way to encourage you to do so.

E&I, sure they're not "as powerful as they were in DMC3" and whatever, but NT wanted to make sure people didn't try to blaze through the game with just guns - they wanted you to really play with melee combat system they had in place. Firearms in this are used much more for resetting, cancels, and adding variety to combos. They can also be upgraded, of course.

Nevan is the best weapon ! come on xD

It's cool and all but it's quite slow and only deals so-so damage.

 

[Paexie]

Ebony and Ivory may not be that powerful enough to kill on their own, but they are integral for getting SSS quickly and stylishly. Not to mention they help open up enemies that are blocking (using Arbiter every time on those will not help your meter) or slowdown (and eventually destroy) the movements on areal ones.

I think that's a good thing, in DMC3, I almost always used Agni and Rudra along with Rebellion. In this one, I use all of the weapons that they give me

 

[Samad]

Lol the more I visit this site, the more I feel tempted to play dmc again and again

 

[DragonMaster2010]

Disagree.

Any DMC I play, I'm all about that sword and guns combo. Hell, I played DMC because of it's guns and a sword style.^_^

In DMC3, I played through the game with only Rebellion and E&I.
