Nero's Red Queen is a heavily-modified version of the latter type. It's also referenced in the promo site of DMC5 and the 3142 Graphic Arts artbook the standard-issue swords for the Order's Knights are named "Caliburn", while the swords used by the officers (such as Credo) are named "Durandal". According to Nico's Report on the Red Queen, it was her father Agnus who drew up the base design, but Nero took that design and "souped it up" to make his own version. The Red Queen is a standard Order of the Sword blade overclocked to an absurd degree so that rather than having "centralized explosions" as the weapon's main gimmick, the entire sword ignites as Nero swings it.Both of these weapons also relate back to Nero's character with his explosive temper and unchecked emotions, they're suitable for an aggressive playstyle. Ace Custom: Nero's main weapons, the Red Queen and the Blue Rose, are versions of customized equipment.Included in the package is the return of Nero's original "Buster" move and you get to keep this ability on subsequent playthroughs (along with buying all the stuff you were missing from 4 like Charge Shot, Showdown and Maximum Bet) in addition to keeping all his Devil Breaker options (via Nico modifying the Devil Breakers into gauntlets for a human arm rather than mechanical replacements and Nero having the ability to dissipate his new human-looking arm back into energy), meaning you get to play a completely synergized form of Nero that has complete access to both his 4 and 5 movesets, giving him a huge upgrade to his gameplay for New Game Plus. You then get to put this new power to the test in the Final Boss fight as Vergil challenges Nero, helped by a self-regenerating Devil Trigger on your first playthrough. 11th-Hour Superpower: Gains his own Devil Trigger in 5 just in time to stop Dante and Vergil from killing each other.For example, Overture causes him to shoot out a massive clawed energy hand, Punch Line causes him to fire his hand out like a rocket, and so on. Nero trades out the Devil Bringer for the Devil Breakers in 5, which is a series of mechanical arms that have different functions. Nero can also use the Devil Bringer to drag enemies to him, or pull himself over to them depending on their size. The Devil Bringer allows Nero to do a "Buster" on an enemy when an enemy is vulnerable, Nero can grab and toss them around for massive damage. He can overclock it a total of three times, with each successive level of Exceed stacking more damage and knockback. Exceed allows Nero to rev his sword and "overclock it", so to speak, increasing its damage, knockback, and altering a few of its properties. Nero has two major combat mechanics - Exceed and the Devil Bringer. After acquiring a new mechanical prosthetic from his equipment supplier, a woman named Nico, the pair venture into Red Grave City to combat the spread of the first demon invasion in years, and the demonic tree at the center of it all. Now with a shorter haircut, Nero loses his Devil Bringer which contained most of his demonic power, and has Yamato stolen from him after his arm is severed by one of the new antagonists in the lead up to the game. He returns as one of the protagonists of Devil May Cry 5. His weapons of choice are Red Queen, a custom single-edged messer, a double-barreled revolver called the Blue Rose, and a Japanese sword of Sparda's discovered in Agnus' underground lab (later given to him as a gift for good by Dante) named Yamato. However, Nero soon discovers a series of Hell Gates are being opened all over the island he lives on, his childhood love Kyrie has been kidnapped, and that he inherited the blood and power of Sparda.Īs a quarter-demon, Nero has Super Strength, Super Speed, Nigh-Invulnerability, and a Healing Factor, along with the power to form spectral projections through his demonic right arm, the Devil Bringer.
