As newbie friendly as Nero may be with his Devil Arm, I find myself on familiar territory and with a far better overall performance / rank at the end of missions with Dante as the useable character : maybe after having played DMC3 to death, mastering royal guard, trickster, swordsmaster and gunslinger on Dante, I can't just help but feel a natural bond with the "old man".
That and Dante is a crazy boss-slayer to me : I have a harder time against bosses with Nero compared to with Dante. In fact, I died about twice with Nero throughout Devil Hunter mode, against bosses I didn't know the patterns of. Dante never died once. Maybe because when we use Dante, it'll be the second time we fight the bosses, and consequently, they are more predictable in their attacks? Or maybe because I don't take advantage of the cheapness of the devil arm's cutscene-trigger attacks that take off 1/8 of the enemy boss's lifebar?
