~~Title: Devil Arms~~
====== Dante's Devil Arms ====== This is a list related to the different techniques for each weapon commands to understand Damage, Stylish points and properties: [(DMC3 Official Guide Book - Detailed Gameplay Guide (2005): Tankobon Hardcover. Chapter 1, System; p. 19 - 43.)] * Hits means the range of damage you get if the attack doesn't fully connect. * × Per Hits means each time you connect the hit under mentioned move. * Launch means the attack follow-up. * Crazy refers to Crazy Combo which is a special type of combo in DMC3 that replaces the end of a standard combo, typically with an extendable attack. Each Crazy Combo has different properties which depends on Style meter gauge. * Hold refers to Nevan's bat hits. * Weapons like Cerb or A&R are largely made up of multi-hit attacks per input. Example: a single tap of melee will output one Cerb swing, then another, with each one following the 12 stun rule. If both hits land, then 24 stun total was dealt. * Beo damage varies when it comes to half-chargeing. However, there is inital value for no-charge vs max-charge. * [[dmc3:dante:other_actions_styles|Only 3 weapons has Air Hike]] (Reb/A&R/Beo) * Most of the moves has properties against [[dmc3:dt_stun|enemies behaviour on stuns]] [(:dmc3stunsource)] for example: * KB Knock Back * KD Knock Down * LA Launcher * Some stun value has extra number which refers as displacement / knockaway counter.
