Vergil's Action

This is a list related to the different techniques and Styles used for general Vergil commands to understand Damage, Stylish points and properties. (1)

  • PS is what sets Dante and Vergil apart. Though it functions as a long range weapon for Vergil, much like that of Dante's guns, it can also function as a powerful shield for Vergil.
  • When picking corrupted costume. The move-set is different whenever Vergil is in DT form.
  • Any DS Action teleport contains free iFrames however, style point is not gained compared to Dante's TS Actions when it comes to avoiding/near-miss enemy attack.
  • All PS moves has Stun value of 6 per hit (2)
Vergil needs maxed DS because it enables him to purchase all of his Devil Arm Actions.
