===== Strategy =====
> This fight has no fixed pattern even at the start. [[dmc5:enemy#dante|Dante]] behaviour is completely random.
* Check [[dmc5:sob|Best Segmented Times]] for the patterns reference.
* You must respond to his patterns with Heavy Rain Blades as a counter for Dragon Breaker setup. The follow up is Lunar Phase + Blistering Blades → Heavy Rain Blades for another Dragon Breaker into JJC spam.
* For Mission 20 phase, Dragon Breaker only performed once because the DT must be conserved against his SDT.
* Higher difficulties and [[dmc5:nero_dante_v|NG+]] behaves differently.
* [[dmc5:enemy#dante|Dante]] entering RG is the worst pattern as you are forced to make him perform Royal Revenge
* You have to be too far to avoid his Judgement attack although, it may be good idea to take hit so you could use Orb revive to lower his HP.
Accidental Spiral Blades can ruin Dragon Breaker setup
It's good idea to save your DG to get [[dmc5:enemy#dante|Dante]] out of his SDT-state quickly which is dangerous.
