====== Vergil (Boss) ======
**Vergil** is the final boss of [[dmc5:nero_dante_v|Nero / Dante / V route]] which is encountered in Mission 19 as Dante then 20 as Nero.\\
==== Dante ====
* This fight is RNG heavy due to Red Hot Night setup. You also must equip DSD during second phase of full charge for Sword Formation: Round Trips stun after he gets hit by the meteor.
* Do not DT until [[dmc5:nero_dante_v|Dante]] is close to the final charge or about to get hit by [[dmc5:enemy#vergil|Vergil's Rapid Slash]] and such.
* If you get hit by PS and knocked away by his Judgement Cut restart checkpoint to re-do the setup.
* If [[dmc5:enemy#vergil|Vergil]] dodges Red Hot Night then use RG actions to kill or counter him with Cav Air Combo B
* Refer to [[dmc5:sob|Best Segmented Times]] for the good [[dmc5:nero_dante_v:ng|NG]] RNG.
* [[dmc5:nero_dante_v:ng_plus_faustless|NG+ Faustless]] is must more consistent fight because you can setup the same behaviour against [[dmc5:enemy#vergil|Vergil]] with Kalina Ann shot. The cycle will always be Air Combo B → Cayote-A JC → Air Combo B → Release → Air Combo B
==== Nero ====
* Scripted fight in both settings with different setup up.
* Optimally, you want to have JC avaliable however, its difficult to make that decision most of the time. The reps of Aerial Combo depends on the Bringer Claw hits and [[dmc5:exceed|Exceeds]].
* Buster has to be done in DT for more damage. Keep in mind that [[dmc5:nero_dante_v|Nero]] DT-rate consumption is high.
* [[dmc5:nero_dante_v:ng|NG]] must do iFrames against [[dmc5:enemy#vergil|Vergil's]] Aerial Cleave before launching him into Roulette Spin → Aerial Combo → Blue Rose then approach him to counter his next attack with High Shots → Snatch → Aerial Combo. From that point finish him off with good DT reps of Aerial Combo → Buster
* Refer to [[dmc5:sob|Best Segmented Times]] for the good [[dmc5:nero_dante_v:ng|NG]] RNG.
* [[dmc5:nero_dante_v:ng_plus|NG+]] sets up CS'3 stun with Snatch after the first cycle. This makes the fight significantly faster with JC & Gerbera being available.
