Alternate Forms

Devil Trigger

In this form, Dante accesses his true demon powers. His appearance in this form varies depending on the weapon he's using. He gains a huge power, speed and defense boost, along with an improved version of his healing factor. He can gain more buffs by equipping different Devil Hearts to his Amulet:

• Aerial Heart: This heart allows Dante to fly.
• Quick Heart: Greatly improves Dante's speed.
• Flame Heart: Gives Dante's attacks the flame attribute.
• Frost Heart: Gives Dante's attacks the ice attribute.
• Electro Heart: Gives Dante's attacks the electricity attribute.
• Chrono Heart: Slows down time for Dante's enemies while he attacks.
• Healing Heart: Improves Dante's healing capabilities even further.
• Offence Heart: Enhances Dante's offensive capabilities even further.

Majin Form

Only achieved in near-death situations, this form substitutes Dante's Devil Trigger, giving him full invulnerability and the ability to fly.

Sin Devil Trigger

By stabbing himself in the chest with Rebellion, Dante was able to absorb both it and the Sparda sword into his body, giving him access to the Sin Devil Trigger. This is an upgraded form of Devil Trigger that transforms Dante into something resembling his Majin Form, causing him to take on a much more bestial and demonic appearance. He also gains two pairs of wings that allow him to fly. In this form, Dante is said to be even stronger than his father, Sparda, and is strong enough to break Urizen's near-unbreakable crystal barrier and deal massive damage to Urizen.

Weaknesses

• Arrogant and Cocky: Due in large part to his significant healing factor, as well as his skills, Dante tends to be very cocky in situations and this has been used against him by some of his more clever enemies.
• Fatigue: Dante is prone to fatigue if he is in a prolonged battle against enemies that are more powerful than him or of equal strength. This in turn makes Dante's healing factor work overtime, which sets him up as an easy target for weaker enemies. One example would be his beat down at the hands of Jester, who was Arkham - a human - in a clown disguise. Arkham was easily able to overpower and dispose Dante and Vergil who were both exhausted after facing each other moments before.

Fun Facts
