Quick trick that's worked since DMC3: Jump Block. If you block while still in the middle of the i-frames of a jump, you can more easily do Royal Blocks since you're technically blocking the moment the attack would connect. Same principle applies to a Jump Release.
Okay then. Let's first break it down on how jumping and blocking works. In DMC, you are fully invincible during the rising part of your jump (up to when you start falling). This makes it a great defensive tool for repositioning and dodging thanks to having a lot of invincibility. You can say that while jumping, an attack is just going right through you as if you aren't there at all. Note that you are only invincible up until you start falling, or start doing something else like Attacking. As described in the video, Royal Block occurs when you block right as an attack is supposed to hit you. Royal Blocks raise your DT meter, but are really difficult to do because of how close to the attack hitting you that you have to block. Jump blocking exploits the fact that you can go straight from the invincibility of a jump straight into blocking. So let's say you react to an enemy attack and jump to avoid it. You probably have seen times when the enemy's arm or weapon is right in your character's model but isn't hurting you because you're invincible at that moment. If you were to block at that same moment, you'll immediately transition from being invincible to a blocking state. Because you're no long rising from the jump, you aren't invincible anymore. However, because you've gone straight into blocking while the attack should hit you, it counts it as if you've blocked at the perfect time and gives you a Royal Block.
Noob DMC player here. DMC3 and 4 I've never even touched Royal Guard. DMC5 I tried my hand on it for the first time ever. By complete accident I finished off Vergil with a Royal Release and insta SSS. It was hilarious.
Seijass yeah they made it a lot more fun to use because it's more useful for well everything it's more user-friendly it's Parry window is a little bigger and to top it off you have double trigger no chipping damage if you mess up in my personal opinion it's the best generation of royal guard welcome to the Royal Guard
Huy Mai Van I was thinking about melee combo attacks, never even thought about using it on projectiles, they're easily blocked for the most part (except when Griffon revs up his gatling gun without any warning).
ppl hate DMC2 but it's so funny if you DT right before you're supposed to die you get Shin DT and just end whatever it is that was going to kill you LOL
I really love your tutorials but something REALLY important about royal guard you forgot to mention is that it builds devil trigger *even if youre in DT*. this means if youre good enough with royal guard you can essentially stay in devil trigger mode forever. Might wanna add that to the description or as a pinned comment.
how to destroy any boss with a D rank: 1. Level up Royal guard to the highest level 2. Get super Dante 3. Wait until the gauge automatically fills 4. ??? 5. Profit
When he goes into DT and throws like 8 swords and you perfectly parry them all into royal release when vergil dashes into you. That's the shit we live for
I'm slowly learning how to use this considering that every time I've tried to learn it, I end up failing miserably at doing so. dmc3 being prime suspect as I couldn't grasp how it worked. I would watch people just destroy enemies and wished I knew how they did it. I had looked in the past for guides on how to do it and tricks but couldn't find a guide till I tried again in 5 and found you. This was really helpful and practicing in the void to get better before trying it out for realsies in the other games. another reason to love dmc5 for me, the void ability practice. :D
These are some well put together style guides. I appreciate you labeling the inputs by their function names and not the names of the buttons they are assigned to. It helps _twice as much as you might think_ when the default bindings were put in place by a crazed lunatic, have arbitrary limits on which ones can be re-bound and require third party support to _'properly put right'_ - Cheers. Nice outro too!
I’ve recently started using RG and let me tell you that even though it’s not as flashy as the other styles, but it’s amazing at deflecting damage while staying in close proximity to your opponent. I love it!!
I've been using Royal Guard a lot more in this game compared to 4 because of these changes. Knowing that if I mess up the timing I have a safety net of DT makes me more comfortable in using it where as in 4 I would just use Trickster because the risk wasn't worth it for me.
im not gonna lie. i was soooo confused on wth royal guard do since dmc3 and never mastered it such that i never used it since. this video has made me open my eyes in what ive been missing all these years. im going to try it now
Carltastic Drew Trickster got lame over DMC4 and DMC5. In DMC3, Dante ran off walls (horizontally and vertically) and he ran off enemies. It was really fun if you were into dodge heavy gameplay. Now it’s only a few moves. It’s really disappointing.
@@quackquackerson5686 Lol DMC4 trickster is the worst, you can only dodge once and continuously if you're in DT. DMC5 is almost the same as DMC4 yet you can dodge continuously and increase range. I never used the wall run tho. Hehe
@@esunacilada Yeah it is You can fucking fly and jump around like a damn flea with each style if you're Donguri or Sakaki levels of busted in DMC4. Only reason DMC5 doesn't have that is because DMC5 doesn't have inertia.
I spent a lot of time with the Fury mastering this technique. Needless to say, by the time I got to Virgil I was able to Royal Block most attacks pretty easily.
I am pleased to find a channel that helps me refresh my play, I haven’t played a good dmc game since 4 but this game has reworked much of the mechanics so I’ll be practicing the new attacks and moves… for example I’m having a hard time finding my comfort zone with Dante’s use of Cavelier and Balrog… but equally difficulty trying to be stylish with the awkward style of V, trying to attack but taunt or read poetry to build up my style meter it’s a lot to monitor at once, but I will be playing more and just finished the game once.

Thanks for all of these videos, you have made me significantly better at DMC 5. I thought even after 11 years I can manage, but turns out I need help after all
I'm fairly sure that being in DT increases the Release damage as well, I would use Royal Guard's counter and release to take out DMC5's version of Blitzes, cause they're almost as annoying as the DMC4 ones. At least these new ones aren't invincible until they self destruct. At least, it _felt_ like it was just about impossible to kill a blitz before it went red. Then it just became a waiting game. By far the most annoying enemies.
Its not even annoying its pathetic who thought that the blitz in dmc4 was even a good anything nvm idea for a ""casual enemy"" its worst then playing dmc1 on the original platform (3 hits your dead, like wtf I digress. the blitz is just simply childish. The bosses are easier than that piece of garbage.
The speedster enemies are always the worst. The blitz in 4 and its counterpart fury in 5 always feel like annoying mini bosses, especially when you have to fight them with other enemies in the damn room

There is nothing in this video that wasn't explained in the game. There is a menu dedicated to explain royal guard. -Companies used to make deal with guides and magazines making some games almost impossible to finish without them. -On the ps2 Era people where already searching for cheat codes and solutions. -Games had booklet explaining all the mechanics ans sometimes even more. Without them, some games where just "guess the secret mechnanics". (Shout out to baldur's gate) -Complexe games are fucking cool.
I plan on buying DMC5 soon, so these videos keep me up to date and hyped for when I eventually get it. Please keep making more tutorials! Very useful and informative, can't wait to die a whole bunch of times while practicing Royal Guard!
The greatest improvement DMC 5 made to the series was making some of the higher-level moves easier to figure out for an average player. Royal Guard and Exceed are the best examples, they feel like they take an hour or so to get the hang of instead of 30 hours like in DMC 4
@IIISixStringIII Like the comment above states, once Dante BEGINS the stance, regardless whether or not he's completely in the stance automatically starts the parry. Not sure about bosses though, if anything it will probably only do a small amount of damage and it may stagger. I know once enemies enter DT on DMD they can no longer be stunned by Royal Revenge
@IIISixStringIII use the "royal revenge" to counter hits at the ends of combos. Doing it in the middle of a combo (especially vergil's) will end up with you on the ground with half of your health gone.
@@ulrickguiliman4810 no problem. It's all a matter of timing. Funny thing is, I've died to Vergil more than any boss in any other game and I don't even feel mad about it. I guess since it's easy to learn but hard to master. Also, he adds some new attacks to his combos in higher difficulties or just ends up doing new things so keep an eye out for those.
specifically for royal block, when you press block, if an attack hits you in the six physics frames(100 milliseconds) after you block, it will be a royal block. you always need to block BEFORE the attack hits you.
UI Goku: "This is the power of Ultra Instinct. In this form, you don't stand a chance agai..." Dante: "ROYAL GUARD!" UI Goku: "Royal wha..." Smash announcer: "K.O"
Royal Guard Timing is BEFORE an attack hits you. Just a few frames but it doesn't need to be in the same frame. If you have played Muramasa on Fury Mode the opposite is true. You must hit "it" after the attack hits you, still just a few frames window.
Lovin your vids from what I’ve seen so far...! Got more friends comin over these days so I’m trying to make my DMCV gameplay look more Flashy, and these are helping out a lot...!
it may seem overwhelming at first with all the styles and devil breakers, but then you have to realize it's 5 games worth of mechanics, some legacy controls like the tight bumper being the aim button and the stances came in at DMC3.
I activated DT and used RG to sustain the DT form (against vergil of course) just to see how long I could keep it up and I made about 6 mins. I'm not the best at this game but I love the RG and DT duet
First game in DMC that I can actually use RoyalGuard!!!!(yay for a newb like me!!!) Got it only like 80% with Vergil though Dx (he's the easiest to guard imo)
Having only seen the opening monologue as of this comment, I can already tell it's the same logic as dodging in dark souls. The window of opportunity may be a bit more limited, but once you get it down you'll find it's vastly superior to your defensive alternative.
I learned royalguard because I wanted the "who needs weapons" achievement, then I tried doing Vergil with it, it felt so good, I wish I didn't overlook it in previous games, it almost makes me want to go back to dmc3 and do a royalguard only run
Villain: I have slumbered for a million years, slowly gaining the strength from the souls of my sacrificial cult. My weapons have been forged in the heart of a black hole and I have conquered empire after empire. Dante: *Holds circle*
Royal Guard was amazing in DMC3. Well...everything about that game was. Just making my way through 5 right now, great game too. Finally getting to control Dante.
This is a great video for new players who are tryna get use to RoyalGuard, as much DMC veterans this is very much an important asset to Dante when tryna build the Style meter and being adept at any enemy in the game! Great job @DevilNeverCry
It was really fun in my first play through to quickly switch between styles in the battle against Urizen. Trickster to get close and dodge, royal guard for ranged attacks and sword for when he is stunned. I finished the fight with a royal release. It was pretty damn cool
If you think about it royal guard is similar to armament haki. At least the version used by Rayleigh when he was showcasing it to Luffy as an introduction to his 2 year training.
Cheers for this tutorial. I remember playing DMC3, and Royal guard wasn't that good in DMC3, either I wasn't good at using RG in DMC3, or I loved using Quicksilver/Swordmaster style so much. And also in DMC3 Playstation 2 version, you can only equip one style in that game. I heard on Steam version DMC3, you can switch styles on the go, but I don't think its worth purchasing DMC3 a 2nd time for 1 small improvement. Looks like I have to practice RG in DMC5, because I haven't started "Son of Sparda" or "Must Die" modes yet! Also, I am very surprised Quicksilver and Doppleganger hasn't returned in DMC5, then again, Vergil kind of has doppleganger as his level 1 DT.
I always mained sword master and gunslinger when style switching was a mechanic. It just seemed like the most versital with all the extra moves but looking and how often Royal guard is used in combo vids and all the damage it does I've always wanted to learn it. I think a major problem has always been it has never had a good tutorial. It was just something you had to learn. This video is the most comprehensive vid on Royal guards mechanics I've seen.
Really cool vod. It will also be great if you can add applications(outside void) at the end. RG is pretty good in Cavalier Angelo and Vergil fight. R.Revenge is great for fury.
so that's what that mode does. i knew it can be used for blocking, but I sure as hell don't remember the tutorials telling you about royal release and royal revenge, i had no idea what that gauge was for.

Get sekiro I barely play dmc5 and I barely played the other dmcs but on the hardest difficulty I beat this game way too fast
The greatest improvement DMC 5 made to the series was making some of the higher-level moves easier to figure out for an average player. Royal Guard and Exceed are the best examples, they feel like they take an hour or so to get the hang of instead of 30 hours like in DMC 4
Funny enough, I was practicing with RG last night and I never knew Royal Revenge existed, which in essence, trivializes and nulliies most attacks
IIISixStringIII it starts the moment Dante enters his “tai-chi” stance, I believe a white aura pops up around you to let you know
@IIISixStringIII Like the comment above states, once Dante BEGINS the stance, regardless whether or not he's completely in the stance automatically starts the parry. Not sure about bosses though, if anything it will probably only do a small amount of damage and it may stagger. I know once enemies enter DT on DMD they can no longer be stunned by Royal Revenge
@IIISixStringIII use the "royal revenge" to counter hits at the ends of combos. Doing it in the middle of a combo (especially vergil's) will end up with you on the ground with half of your health gone.
@@danialyousaf6456 so that explains how I got floored by vergil last night. Thanks for the tip man
@@ulrickguiliman4810 no problem. It's all a matter of timing. Funny thing is, I've died to Vergil more than any boss in any other game and I don't even feel mad about it. I guess since it's easy to learn but hard to master.
Also, he adds some new attacks to his combos in higher difficulties or just ends up doing new things so keep an eye out for those.
You save me with that tutorials, i suffer so much without the tutorials You made
Glad they help
Hands down a unique style that can be quite a beast for damage dealing
Like how Nico’s Van Theme is playing at the background.
specifically for royal block, when you press block, if an attack hits you in the six physics frames(100 milliseconds) after you block, it will be a royal block. you always need to block BEFORE the attack hits you.
Aw, the "me press O, me win" style
It takes skill like every other style in the game
@@solsun7350 i was gonna write a joke but ur right it does takes skill
p/s: the comment was a joke :D
Where's the funny?
UI Goku: "This is the power of Ultra Instinct. In this form, you don't stand a chance agai..."
Dante: "ROYAL GUARD!"
UI Goku: "Royal wha..."
Smash announcer: "K.O"
Basically if you use Royal Guard style you turn into Meliodas
But i think royal guard came first so yeah meliodas turned into dante
Cause 7 deadly sins take place in 2012 and royal guard was in dmc 3, dmc3 was in 2005
Big dick energy mode
Funny you say that. Mundus in the DMC V manga honestly looks a bit like the Demon King.
Royal Guard Timing is BEFORE an attack hits you. Just a few frames but it doesn't need to be in the same frame.
If you have played Muramasa on Fury Mode the opposite is true. You must hit "it" after the attack hits you, still just a few frames window.
Lovin your vids from what I’ve seen so far...!
Got more friends comin over these days so I’m trying to make my DMCV gameplay look more Flashy, and these are helping out a lot...!
Really want to learn i literally just use sword master the whole time ever since dmc 3 kinda stuck lol
it may seem overwhelming at first with all the styles and devil breakers, but then you have to realize it's 5 games worth of mechanics, some legacy controls like the tight bumper being the aim button and the stances came in at DMC3.
DNC: Why should use Royal Guard?
Memers in the DMC comunit: CONTENT
Shoulda noted that it's also useful to help gain SDT since RG helps build up DT relatively easily
I thought blocking with royal giard decreases the dt bar?
@@pingaspearce9403 it does but if you learn to RG well it's guarantee one bar for perfect block
I activated DT and used RG to sustain the DT form (against vergil of course) just to see how long I could keep it up and I made about 6 mins. I'm not the best at this game but I love the RG and DT duet
Vergil's Judgement Cut VS Dante's Royal Guard is literally unstoppable force meets immovable object
First game in DMC that I can actually use RoyalGuard!!!!(yay for a newb like me!!!)
Got it only like 80% with Vergil though Dx (he's the easiest to guard imo)
Dante got that Tiger Drop on lock
he actually invented it
_Bosses nervous sweat_
Break breakdown and I never used this. Definitely a positive learning curb to this.
Having only seen the opening monologue as of this comment, I can already tell it's the same logic as dodging in dark souls. The window of opportunity may be a bit more limited, but once you get it down you'll find it's vastly superior to your defensive alternative.
I learned royalguard because I wanted the "who needs weapons" achievement, then I tried doing Vergil with it, it felt so good, I wish I didn't overlook it in previous games, it almost makes me want to go back to dmc3 and do a royalguard only run
Why did you bully caveillier angelo like that
Dante: "putting his arms up and clenching his ass"
Game: "THATS STYLISH AS HELL"
Villain: I have slumbered for a million years, slowly gaining the strength from the souls of my sacrificial cult. My weapons have been forged in the heart of a black hole and I have conquered empire after empire.
Dante: *Holds circle*
Kinda sad they didn't keep dreadnaught mode from DMC4
bird what was that
Saul Hernnadez Now, look. There was a special bar that gave you complete invincibility when filling up. Moreover, its design was cool as fuck.
Well they added Sin Devil Trigger, keeping Dreadnaught would mean Dante has three Devil Forms to change to which is some hardcore shit.
@@saulhernnadez9203 do you play cod? If so think of a juggernaut with dark demonic form
That satisfying sound of royal block..i love it
Royal release + Dt explosion in 3 is how you destroy vergil
Favorite style for me in DMC 5 but I miss dreadnaught in DMC 4.
aizadlove me too even tho I really only liked it for the cool aesthetic
H.G. Useless but cool, would’ve loved it only for photo mode
@@IIARROWS It's a scythe, not a sickle.
I don't have any pc or console but I'll still watch this
Royal Guard was amazing in DMC3. Well...everything about that game was.
Just making my way through 5 right now, great game too. Finally getting to control Dante.
You my friend have just earned a new subscriber👍
This is a great video for new players who are tryna get use to RoyalGuard, as much DMC veterans this is very much an important asset to Dante when tryna build the Style meter and being adept at any enemy in the game!
Great job @DevilNeverCry
Thanks cry i barely knew anything about royal guard other than block and release
It was really fun in my first play through to quickly switch between styles in the battle against Urizen. Trickster to get close and dodge, royal guard for ranged attacks and sword for when he is stunned. I finished the fight with a royal release. It was pretty damn cool
If you think about it royal guard is similar to armament haki. At least the version used by Rayleigh when he was showcasing it to Luffy as an introduction to his 2 year training.
vergil: i wont lose to the likes of you, little brother!
dante: royal guard!
vergil: hey come on i cant even joke with you?
😂
I got the hang of it by the 3rd mission with Dante, it made the Final boss battle super fun for me
Trickster makes you feel like an anime character
Royal guard makes you feel like the boss
Cheers for this tutorial.
I remember playing DMC3, and Royal guard wasn't that good in DMC3, either I wasn't good at using RG in DMC3, or I loved using Quicksilver/Swordmaster style so much. And also in DMC3 Playstation 2 version, you can only equip one style in that game. I heard on Steam version DMC3, you can switch styles on the go, but I don't think its worth purchasing DMC3 a 2nd time for 1 small improvement.
Looks like I have to practice RG in DMC5, because I haven't started "Son of Sparda" or "Must Die" modes yet!
Also, I am very surprised Quicksilver and Doppleganger hasn't returned in DMC5, then again, Vergil kind of has doppleganger as his level 1 DT.
Imagine Dreadnaught switching to Swordmaster and going Sin DT
You'd be unstoppable
You've saved my sanity and my broken fingers
Thank you man I was scared to use this style before watching this video
Thanks bro, keen it up with the tutorials videos 🌹
I always mained sword master and gunslinger when style switching was a mechanic. It just seemed like the most versital with all the extra moves but looking and how often Royal guard is used in combo vids and all the damage it does I've always wanted to learn it. I think a major problem has always been it has never had a good tutorial. It was just something you had to learn. This video is the most comprehensive vid on Royal guards mechanics I've seen.
Really cool vod. It will also be great if you can add applications(outside void) at the end. RG is pretty good in Cavalier Angelo and Vergil fight. R.Revenge is great for fury.
so that's what that mode does.
i knew it can be used for blocking, but I sure as hell don't remember the tutorials telling you about royal release and royal revenge, i had no idea what that gauge was for.
When I played the game for first time I didn’t even know you could hold it so I always tried to time it
Is there a full version of the intro music??
Not gonna lie before watching this I never used the royal guard so thnx this should help me with the bloody Palace
