Kind of wish he got more arms besides red Queen too

It's a great sword but cmon , one sword one gun

He needs more

Another style idea would be doppleganger since he is familiar with spectral projections
Well that's the point of Nero, his devil harm its the base of his gameplay... is its principle weapon and he get more upgrate for that and this differ him from dante, If he gets more weapon like dante it will be always the same, and dante will became obsolete, that why they are different, dante get new weapon while nero get new harm and upgrade for his harm

It's only used for grabs and buster's though , surely more melee weapons would expand his moveset a bit

That's never a bad thing

That's why we had dante, his breaker not only grab and bust, you have 8 different breaker and every of them had 2 different function so that make 16 different move...

Except they aren't permanent and can't be switched

2 switchable devil arms could incorporate a lot of the breakers moves

And be switched through on the fly at any time

Yeah but think if you could have able to switch he breaker as you wish, you would have probably dominate the battle and have little fun, probably would have been unbalanced...
 
True but now [spoiler his arm is back[\spoiler] , breakers may be dropped in future

And then it's back to just blue rose and red queen

I think I will probably continue to use the breaker in dmc 6 like he did at the end of dmc 5
 
Shame the breakers aren't changeable on the fly then

So they're kind of throwback to DMC3 style system?

I do think Nero's upgrades should be more about utilizing devil bringer. Now that he has devil breakers, you can add those, maybe even combine them with devil bringer. A Tesla Coil breaker which shocks the enemy, a flamethrower breaker for crowd control... and then combine those with Devil Bringer, so that Nero can pull enemies in and hit them with Devil Breaker.

@Picard
Bael could have given him a doppelganger ability or some kind of decoy to confuse demons.

Or maybe some sort of active camouflage for surprise attacks. Bael was able to hide his stinkin' body from view while utilizing Rusalkas.

What about a second devil bringer then which can also turn into a katana to be used anytime and not just with devil trigger active

Yamato's back with Vergil, so Nero doesn't have a katana any more... and what do you mean "second devil bringer which can turn into katana"?
 
I know it's back with Vergil , Nero has the ability to use a spectral devil bringer right

So I say he gets another gauntlet like physical bringer, that can morph into a katana but is detachable

Not the yamato either but a different katana devil arm
 
No man not a breaker , a gauntlet like the balrog ones or beowolf or Gilgamesh ones

But it has bringer like powers and shapeshipts

The breakers are mechanical arms that can break

This would be a devil arm in the form of a shapeshifting gauntlet, three forms

Gun
Katana
Gauntlet

All with there own moves

Just my idea for it , he would still have his spectral bringer with his right arm , and his red queen
 
Matt Walker has repeatedly said Itsuno absolutely wants to keep Nero and Dante feel different. Which is why Nero will probably never have multiple Devil Arms and Styles.
And honestly I agree with that. Nero already felt like a Dante wannabe in DMC4, I don't want him to be a copy of Dante in gameplay as well. There are other ways to expand his moveset besides Styles and Devil Arms, we don't need to always think within the Dante box.

As I said before, give him more abilities for his Bringer in the form of directional and double button inputs, focusing on expanding on his Bringer will achieve both goals, giving him a larger moveset and a different vibe from Dante.

I don't think that is a good idea, as @Foxtrot94 said, it feels to Dante-ish. And if anything, Nero's playstyle should be more similar to Vergil, as a nod towards lore - or more likely, something in-between Dante's and Vergil's with a variety of Nero's own original moves. So I would like to give him more options with summoned swords, maybe combine that with use of firearms. Also, give him quick dash abilities or teleportation that can be used for more than just avoiding the attacks (though this might be going too similar to Vergil).

That's also a very good idea. Though I think they already kinda burned that card with Dante didn't they. Devil Sword Dante has a summoned sword feature in Swordmaster. But still, they could make it work differently for Nero.

So remove summoned swords from Dante, or at least give him fewer SS options compared to Vergil and Nero. As for those two, you could make their summoned sword styles work differently: Vergil would be more about precision, summoning fewer but stronger swords, and dealing massive damage to single opponents; Nero would summon large number of weaker swords, and be better at crowd control.
 
Vergil has 3 devil arms to cycle through though

One of em is force edge which has some identical moves to rebellion

And yet Vergil is different to Dante

And u said styles plural , I said style single

Vergil has just darkslayer

How is Nero having a second devil arm and one style the same as Dante having

4 weapons 4 styles 4 guns

Vergil has one style 3 weapons and plays completely different to Dante, but now ye will say no as ye don't want Nero to be a copy of Vergil either

Ha ha ha ha , can't keep ye happy lol
