Nero Skills

This is a list related to the different techniques used for general Nero commands to understand Damage, Stylish points and properties.

  • Exceed uses the combustion system of the Red Queen to grant the next attack even more devastating power which can be charged with manually.
  • Using certain attacks with Exceed will change the way the attack functions and use up the entire EX-Gauge
  • If Nero fills up an Exceed Slot while in DT state, his demonic aura rises and grows larger with each Exceed level. This is seen clearly when the player uses the Super-Costumes, as the DT is infinite and each attack initiates MAX-Act automatically.
