Strategy

Vergil trivializes this with his destructive JJC and DG. This is the same with Nero on Overture and Gerbera.

^{Devil Hunter} Usually attacks on the third detonation of Overture.
^Human Attacks after the first detonation and usually dies after Overture explosion.
NG+ behaves slightly different due to CS'3 start up.
Vergil needs to get close to Qliphoth before summoning DG for Max Damage. He can kill the roots in NG+ with Dragon Breaker → Aerial Cleave → OverDrive while making sure that PS is active with Heavy Rain Blades and Spiral Blades
