Trickster is my favourite due to its versatility; You can avoid taking damage outright far more easily than with normal dodge or Royal Guard, increased manoeuvrability all around, letting you scale walls, air dash and teleport, as well as allowing you to be generally faster on ground, and with greater manoeuvrability comes greater combo variety as well. I think it generally makes the game more enjoyable in most situations.

true but RG’s release is god-tier when you wanna deal big damage and a perfect parry can stop beowulf’s pounce attack and stun him enough to hit you. pair that with Cerberus’ revolver and you have one hell of a beowulf stun advantage

@dashi-musashi351 Жыл бұрын

@@theastroguy7417 While a full release’s damage is good, spamming the Agni and Rudra aerial for ridiculous damage is also good, and far safer. Less work, similar pay off, plus everything I mentioned in the OG comment. I’ve gotten way better with the RG style, but due to how it’s not a guaranteed block 100% of the time like in DMC 5, plus having to stick to it without the other styles in 3, still heavily prefer Trickster. Haven’t even talked about the fact you have to grind out one style for like the whole game to max it out. I’d say Trickster gives you the most bang for your buck in overall enjoyment. With style switching tho, ofc idm Royal Guard… or ANY style really.

I knew jump buffering rg, but I didnt know it counted as a perfect block every time. I thought you still had I frames and thus just didnt get staggered

@thelastgogeta 3 жыл бұрын

You were basically right from how I understand it. The I frames directly transition into RG Frames with the first one (probably first few) being a perfect guard. If you know an attack will be active while you are in the middle of invincibility, switching to a RoyalGuard block should be perfect. Waifu and others probably know more about the frame data, but this is how it should work.

@gu3z185 3 жыл бұрын

If you jump and block at the right moment, as long as the enemy's weapon is inside your hitbox, you don't have to time a block perfectly to get a perfect guard anymore, which is what he was trying to say.

The mistake that i did during Royal guard was not pressing the style button hard enough. We should hold down firmly the style button not to tap it like in Sekiro's deflect.

@user-pi1lb4tf2f 9 ай бұрын

You can do tapping if you got the timing down. However it may be difficult because royal guard animation is quick if tapped hence, buffers are useful such as jumping/dodging/attacking or even by mashing the style button. The problem sometimes with holding the style button is the block break which is more dangerous than just taking damage, plus there are cases of accidental release.

I’m a basic bitch with trickster. The mobility and easier dodging is too valuable for me to give up.

I'm still relatively new to the DMC series, I've been playing DMC3 for about 4 months at this point and generally play it (as well as 4 and 5) in an aggressive and offensive style, usually I go with Swordmaster to extend combos or Trickster for more mobility. However, I'm interested in using more Royal Guard and play in a more defensive style. This video helped me get more insight in how to get better at the style. However, what advice would you give for somebody who generally plays offensively to try a more defensive style?
