V character - Interface and additional controls Devil May Cry 5 guide, walkthrough

Last update: 12 March 2019

V - a mysterious character introduced in Devil May Cry 5 - relies on his familiars. He can summon a bird called Griffon, a panther called Shadow, and a monster called Nightmare which serves as his Devil Trigger. The trick here is that every enemy must be finished off by V himself.

• Additional controls

Interface

1. Health bar (1) - increase the vitality by collecting Blue Orb Fragments or purchasing Blue Orbs in the shop. You upgrade health bars for all of the characters (the health upgrades are shared between all heroes).
2. Devil Trigger bar (2) - increase the Devil Trigger by collecting Purple Orb Fragments or purchasing Purple Orbs in the store. You upgrade Devil Trigger bars for all of the characters (the upgrades are shared between all heroes). You can spend this bar on activating V's special ability: Summon Nightmare. Also, V can deplete his DT bar on some basic abilities or on setting Griffon and Shadow to auto attack. DT bar regenerates while fighting or by Reading (check the table below).
3. Griffon's and Shadow's health bars (3) - Griffon and Shadow are both vulnerable to attacks and they have their separate health bars (the vertical ones), displayed in the upper left corner of the screen. When a familiar loses entire health, it will change into a levitating ball. Stand near it to shorten the time necessary for your familiar to replenish its health.

Additional controls

Each of the characters have unique actions assigned to certain buttons/keys:
