Excellent data as always, Alan! I think my favorite take away is how fast you can break Urizen's shield with DT. That and the chaos spike is kinda nifty. I'm a little sad with this breaker. When the trailers were coming out it was one of my most anticipated, along with rawhide and tomboy. After playing the game fully, I've found those three to be my least favorite :P. Still, good to know this breaker has a few good spots for itself, and thanks again for the thorough analysis!
As a nero main.Trial and error. You just try as many different things out as possible and record what you find in your head. They are pretty hidden. You can punch using the buster arm twice after ever taunt and once after every roll(useful for furies).
Awesome Guide as always! By the way, Master Drill can destroy Cavalier's shield in one hit, but only after you drain all his sword charges, not something extremely useful, but it can sometimes speed up the fight
if anyone is having trouble with hell and hell for urizen on mission 8 just bring 8 helter skelters and drill master his shield. its easy and safe. good video as always alan
Every time I use this devil breaker I wonder ..... "Why did no one thing to add Helter skelter (the actual song by The Beatles) to the soundtrack? I'm sure it would have fit perfectly I'm pretty sure Paul wouldn't have mind.
I'm curious if there's a difference in properties between helter skelter vs monkey business From my limited testing it seems like monkey business does more a bit more damage
@@shariac5786 I haven't tested it thoroughly but banana breaker might be slightly different. It can't break through chaos's spikes in one hit like helter skelter can for example.
@@shariac5786 'Reskinned' couldve been an awesome pun considering its about bananas, but such low brow comedy doesnt really a-PEAL to me. Ill see myself out. Im sorry.
I thought his shield was being destroyed when an "x" number of DAMAGE was being dealt to it not from an "x" number of successful blows delivered to it like the scissors from death scissors... Either I am mistaken or you are... Can you please clarify what it is because I really want to know?
vasilis metallinos when u fight Urizen using the helter skelter arm ur able to hold circle and Nero with do the arm break attack with helter skelter making u have god frames and take no damage
Well, knew most of this. I don't like packing Helter Skelter but it's incredibly effective against Scudos, Sin Scissors especially and Urizen shield (although it does puts you in vulnerable position - and potentially breaking your arm. Also Drill Master is very hard to aim and often misses with its random tracking and camera. I think other breakers are more useful especially since Break-Away can also grant i-frames, deal good damage, throw enemies back and escape enemies grabs. (can't remember if Break-Away cancel your long attack animations). Few questions and key notes though: 1) How did you do that Air-Guitar on Style B again? I thought it's SSS only and super random. I barely saw it a couple of times in 5. 11:34 2) How did you do Red Queen air rave 3-hits without throwing Vergil off at the 3rd hit? (3rd hit always knocks enemies back and far away even with JC - which is hard to time) at 12:42. I saw someone else do that, I tried it myself on random enemies - and 3rd hit always knocks enemies down and far. 3) At 14: 07 it appears Drill Rig has some hyper-armor - since you got *damaged* from some Empusa and yet your devil breaker didn't break and you weren't staggered and cancelled either. That's an interesting properties worth mentioning! However I remember using it on Urizen shield - and getting hit by blast or tentacle and getting interrupted and Helter broke. 4) Plus I noticed that using the last stages of Drill Rig has some "shockwave" cancelling enemies movement, and slightly pushing them away enemies. Similar to buster "shockwave" effect on nearby enemies in DMC4 and rarely on 5. I think you can see it on 5:10 but not sure.
1. I got the guitar taunt on SSS, I was just letting it play out so long that I dropped to B by the time it was time to show what I wanted. 2. Vergil has different hit properties than normal enemies, in this case air rave 3 doesn't knock him away unless you hit the move limit. Another example is showdown can not hit him away. (he might bounce though) 3. The thing about that is not all hits are equal for super armor. The empusa has a really weak hit so that's probably the only thing it will tank. Another example would be people say cavaliere R has no super armor, but it actually does. Its not as good though so people might not notice. Cavaliere can tank a hell antenora hit, but Cavaliere R cant. However Cavaliere R can tank a scudo angelo slash. Helter skelter might function the same way and only power through very weak hits.
It’s a shame this Breaker is so niche. Really only good for Urizen cheese, because its specialty is something Nero has no trouble getting around. Shields are easy for Nero to deal with something like Gerbera to get behind them, whilst also being an extremely useful breaker in other worlds. The break attack is pretty cool. Ultimately, Helter Skelter is the biggest victim of not being allowed to arm switch on the fly.
So...mmm...I just can't beat Goliath with nero, is just a pain in the ass, and there isn't any guide of it on your channel (literally can do the entire palace but the Goliath, that thing is a hell no) so if u can do any video of it Ps: the Cavaliere only full palace actually work awesome and is so beautiful, cant explain it but I loved it

The breakage can break cavalier's guard stunning him for a grab with buster arm
*”H E L T E E E R SKELTER helterskelter”*
Can’t wait for the Tomboy analysis.
HELTER SKELTER! helter skelter.
HELTER! helter skelter.
More like hitler lol
More like a Beatles song
I'VE GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS
"Helter... Skelter"
- Helter Skelter (Helter Skelter)
I like how Nero said "Screw you!" when using this
I think its also a reference to a one liner from "Total Recall"
dude you're just showing off with those table hoppers XD
So if I end up actually doing all these breakers, spoiler alert, im going in the order they are listed in the gallery's weapon reports.
Cant wait for a detailed analysis of punchline riding.
Patiently waiting for tomboy :)
Hey I learned one weird thing about punchline bring it back towards you, while artimis is charging at you you stop her charge.
I'd put a screw-based pun here, but I think you know the drill by now. ;-)
I hate you💀
I have played this game since one week post release.
I didn't even know HS had combos lmao
The challenge of dmc games is not to just finish the game but to unlock all skills and master them

How the hell do you find all of these details? This is a great guide.
Ikr? I had no idea you could even use Drill Rig 3times like that!

Heh. Nero really screws up the enemies with that arm.
I'll see myself out.

can't wait for the pasta breaker guide
Whats the name of the breaker again? I can barely remember it, If only nero would say the name to the player a bit more.
Every time I use this devil breaker I wonder .....
"Why did no one thing to add Helter skelter (the actual song by The Beatles) to the soundtrack? I'm sure it would have fit perfectly
I'm pretty sure Paul wouldn't have mind.
I can't believe that I'm still learning fight mechanics from this 8-month game. Thanks for another great guide!!
Excuse me, breakage trades favorably with superman Vergil? That’s interesting.
Yo, I have so much respect for the amount of effort you put into these videos man, keep it up
I'm curious if there's a difference in properties between helter skelter vs monkey business

HELTERRRR-Helt-HeltERRRR-Helt-Helter Skel-HELTER SKELTER.
Literalmente. Mis respetos. Sos el tipo que encuentra hasta la más mínima mecánica. (The best DMC player i got to know)
Does this go same to the bananna version?
I never knew there were more options of multi hits Thx alan for letting us know
Yeah, the Banana arm is literally the same arm, but reskinned.

This arm is the best way to beat Urizen on HAH m8 due to the god frames also this arm is one of the best

vasilis metallinos your welcome
With your guides i can enjoy game even after the platinuming the game.
Thanks
Alan makes more DMC5 tutorial guides!? Of course I'll be here xDDD
(Damn, your vids are packfull of tips&tricks, so much details and all of them!!)
Thank you for this man that's the only arm I have issues with. Thank you for the guide.
Man, you need more power, views and subscribers.
Great videos :)
That cut at 10:20 with Nero's voice echoing was fucking brilliant
This guide's are the best thing in the youtube
Very informative and straight to the point. Thank you very much
Now that's what I was wating for
Lmao I always love what you do at the end of your vids
Mr. Deadweight putting that drill to good use!
Drill rig and Drill master? I'd rather call it: Giga Drill Spin On! and GIGA ... DRILL ... BREEAAAKEEEEER !!!
Ok minato
This is a great breaker for staying in the air
Good stuff, cant wait for the next video.

What about pasta breaker
Loving these videos, could you do tomboy next? It's one of my favorites but I don't see it used that often in gameplay on yt
I'll be doing tomboy, but its further down the list. Punchline is next, followed by gerbera.
@@conqvistguides7313 alright! thanks :)
12:23 Notice me daaaaaad
How do you get the taunt where Nero pulls out a cigarette?
It's a gum not a cigarette and it heals you a bit. It's one of those taunts that are tied to a style ranking (S iirc)
10:40
It was at this moment Scudo knew...
He done fucked up.
Really nice gudes you are making here.
I will now go destroy Urizen on SOS with my new found I'M THE ONE WITH POWER! Thank you kindly. Dmd not so much.
Great guide!
it seems to build dt meter rather well too
Amazing job!

Is there any differences between helter skelter and monkey business that you know of?
Well, if nothing else, Nero would have a sweet gig as a demon gynecologist after this...
hard to understand tomboy use in higher difficulties,please put a guide for it.
I had no idea there where different drill rigs
How in god's name did you do a JC while Drill Master?
what anime is your picture?? Pls
Tales of the abyss
Alan Conqvist thanks
13:53. Nero is a savage!!
do the devil breakers have the same properties on different difficulties?
Yes with the exception of DTed enemies on DMD
Track on 8:19-8:29 plz
I'm really need it :_:
