Weapons, Demons, and Angels OH MY!

[KillahbyNature]

I've started thinking, what will the weapons be in this new game? We already know that the standard M.O will be in use so no complaints there, but what about other W.M.A ( weapons of major a**whoopin') we know about the previous games weapons such as Pandora's Box, Infrit, Shiva, etc., etc. But what other weapons could there be? Take for example, in my mind's eye, since Dante is apparently half angel he could have angelic type weapons now that could be named after different angels all with different capabilities; here's an example:

*Previous owner- Anixiel ( guardian of the moon): Heaven's Masque: This weapon is a "Blessed Deck" a set of cards that are symbolical the phases of the moon. It's ever shifting possibilities make it a perfect combo weapon however while it does give more possibility to the player, it lacks speed and only does average damage. So when using this guardian's deck it is better to use as a melee weapon ( or quick exp weapon) than a boss fight arsenal.

So pretty much the above was an example. Give the previous owner, their name, what they represented, weapons name and a small description also a good and bad side to the weapon. I think it'll be fun and give fans like us something to do while we wait! Don't be shy heck you can post more than one if you want, no restrictions here.

Beelzebub - summons a spectral swarm of fireflies in the form of a cloak and chest armour, maybe gautlets too, when used for offense turns black and defence shines a bright golden light. The flies can also swarm opponent drain them slowly.

This is in representation Beelzebub being a fallen angel, lord of the flies and embodiment of greed. That's all I got. Maybe a two wheeled form of transport of some sort, that can scale buildings vertically at 90 degree angles and be used as nunchuks of some sort?

I know Osiris was an Egypton god. his role was very important in Egypton mythology i believe. i think he had something to do with the afterlife. i doubt that will play into the game on any level. i suppose they just chose that name because they liked it. i have no idea where Arbiter comes from. i only know what it means, i dont think its the name of any deity or mythological character or anything like that.

i couldve sworn i saw Dante use a spear in the very first TGS trailer. however i'm not sure. i think its possible a spear could be another weapon.

personally i dont want any rubbish weapons, no breifcase that turns into a gun. that is awful to me. and i'm not too keen on electric guitars either. gunwise. i think there will probabily be a shotgun as always. rocket launchers became redundant for me.

i just got the DMC HD game, and that grenade launcher misses a lot, it also high risk because it takes longer to launch a grenade. DMC2 rocket launcher wasnt bad, but E&I and the submachine guns were much more reliable making the missile launcher redudant imo. Nightmare Beta was an interesting weapon, but the design from DMC1 looked weird. not sure where they can really go with guns tbh.

Now that you've mentioned it I do remember the spear part. I think he did it to end the air combo or something. Then instead of Arbiter axe, we got a hammer there if I remember correctly.


RE: Grenade launcher

I remember watching one boss fight video against Nelo Angelo where he used the GL up close and just nuked him up close after breaking his guard with Sparda.

RE: Topic

Ares/Mars: Your standard Devil May Cry Gauntlets, previously owned by the god of the same name. Regular attacks are usual Punch Punch Kick/Roundhouse or if delayed go into rapid fire fists, special attack being launching axe handle strikes or grapples. More or less a Demon weapon

The angelic counterpart would be twin claws or Katars, dunno what to name them. I thought DMC would be nice with katars as fist weapons, but of course Dante isn't really graceful in using these weapons unlike let's say, a refined assassin or the like.
