I forget what War's stats were like by the end of the game, tbh
To be honest, i don't find War too noteworthy stat wise, he has plenty of useful abilities though like his Stoneskin and fire aura which would give Nero some trouble.
I mainly made this thread because a few years back people would put Darksider characters like War and Death way above DMC characters, just wanted to see if those views are still around.
It's not that far off considering that Nero without his DT stronger is then DMC4 Dante by DMC5.
What are you basing that on?
The fact that Dante using his regular DT couldn't even get past Uzien's shields or give him a singular wound before getting knocked out for a month. Nero does, and this is before he gets his DT.
I mean, its probably not unrealistic to think Nero was close to Dante in a story perspective, but my biggest complaint was that he came off as an a-hole in the end.

Eh, I dunno. Nero was 1/4 demon and was getting mollywhopped by Dante in DMC 4, then after losing his biggest demonic asset (and supposedly all of his demonic power) he then becomes a Dante level ass kicking machine?
It doesn't sit right with me, but I can't deny the feats.

A-hole? How so?
I hated how Shonen it was, that was my main gripe. It was a cheap, quick, love-inspired power up that made literally no sense IMO.

Nero has gotten stronger since dmc4 and his DBs like ragtime come from some pretty powerful demons. so he may lose some power without yamato but he's way more versatile now
Nero was completely upset and emotional during that time I wasn't seeing any love there lol. I think they'll explore it eventually him and nico were confused by it plus Sparda's blood is extremely potent
Sure, but all those demons were weaker than Nero seeing as he beat them (save Geryon) so him jumping to Dante/Sparda level seems totally unfounded to me.
I mean after his phone call to Kirie saying he didn't know what to do. In any case, a power-up due to emotion is super shonen lol.
Yeah, I hope they do 'cause the ending left me with a bit of a sour taste in my mouth in all honesty, and I'm a life-long fan of the series.
@kingcrimson: Japan does like the half/partial breeds being stronger than full beings thing though and Nero was at least able to give a decent fight to peak dante in dmc4.
@kingcrimson: He turned into Donte, and that gave me nightmares. That and he is really still immature and hasnt really developed much as a character.
Nero by the end of the game admit to his immature about being called dead weight and stopped his father and Uncle from killing either because he didn't want either of them to die. He did develop.
