We will not be focusing on weapons that are mainly for orb generation or have major glitches that result in game-breaking moments. While a weapon can be powerful in lore, we are majorly looking at its power ingameplay. With all of that, here are our picks for the most powerful weapons in the series.
10Pandora
One, if not the most versatile weapon in the DMC series, isPandora. ADevil Armbriefcase that can transform into 666 different forms of weaponry. While only in-game the player only has access to seven forms out of the hundreds, it ranges between melee weapons and guns.
The potential for different uses through the various weapons and button combinations truly takes a lot of experience to use to its fullest. An entire list could fill out the different applications of this weapon and how to combo between its various forms and uses in its standard style and gunslinger style.
9Ebony & Ivory
It would not be a DMC list without mentioning the two iconic handguns that continue to be a staple part of every game when playingDante. While they are typically the lowest damage dealing weapons in every game, yet it remains a fan favorite. The weapons power comes in its juggling potential to keep enemies stuck in mid-air to maintain combos.
Style is a significant factor in weapons in the DMC games.Ebony and & Ivoryalways deliver whenever the opportunity arises, especially in the hands of veteran hunters.
8Buster Arm
Out of the many different options,Nerohas to choose from when using his swappable arm. For this, we pick hisBuster Arm, a weapon reminiscent of his original demon arm, theDevil Bringer. Much like his previous arm, this arm is powerful for tossing demons around with grapples and even some animations of suplexing them.
Even onlarger enemies,Nerocan still toss them around but needing to lower their health before using. While theBuster Armis not as flashy or has a full move set like theDevil Bringer. Due to the arms limit on combat uses, its damage is nearly double than the original arm.
7King Cerberus
King Cerberusis a powerhouse of a weapon, its like the originalCerberusfrom DMC3 but with many more upgrades. Where the originalCerberusonly has powers of a tripartite nunchaku with ice powers.King Cerberusmaintains the same ice form, a staff fire form, and a three-point staff with lightning.
Fast hard-hitting and very stylish combos that shift between stances and different elements with standard and in sword master move sets. TheCerberuswas already a fan favorite, but now with this upgrade, the original cannot hold a candle to the king’s power.
6Dr. Faust
One of the most outrageous weapons this uniquehatwill let you put your money where your mouth is. Being the only weapon that uses and generates Red Orbs, you’re able to easily farm and deal tons of damage if you have lots of currency. However, what makes this weapon so powerful is when its in the gunslinger stance.
Holding a charge attack allows a player to spend a massive number of orbs to launch a red orb meteor, obtaining high combo meter, and nearly one shooting all mobs and some bosses. Even on the highest difficulty, this weapon has one-shot material, but that is the only powerful move it has. While it can be higher on this list, it is a mostly flashy weapon, and uses are mainly for orb generating and risk/ reward playstyle, and the attack has a massive windup.
5Balrog
Empowering with the heart of a pure boxer,BalrogallowsDanteto unleash a flurry of blows and dodge almost everything. With a massive amount of juggling, stun locking, and fast-paced combos, this weapon has it all. Along with a bob and weave dodge that allows you to escape any attack from any enemy or boss with proper timing.
With two styles of punching and kicking modes, along with standard and swordmaster move sets, it is almost like a whole different game. Also, naming the weapon as a reference toBalrogfromStreet Fighteris a nice touch.
4Red Queen
The primary weapon forNeropart sword, part bike, all-powerful health bar chunking hits. WhencomparingtheRed QueenandRebellion, the two always shift in who rocks the most power. We putRed Queenhere for its slower style to combat, but it does have some high-power moment.

With either force revving the swords engines or building through combos, the sword can unleash some severe punishment. Along with a satisfying revvingsoundwhen building up or unleashing your stored attack. However, it is slow, but it’s hard, so it still makes the list.
3Rebellion
Coming right after is theRebellion, a staple ofDante’sweaponry ever since DMC2. This weapon pairing withDante’siconicEbony & Ivorynow is apart of his classic look.
Aside from looks, this weapon performs differently to theRed Queen. With a much faster classic hack and slash play style, this sword is what many fans have come to love over the years. What it lacks in flare on the surface it comes with more great pacing combos and an evolving move set. Also including a handful that is just a series of quick jabs and spins which rank up the style factor.
2Yamato
It would not be a list if we didn’t mention the classic sword that always remains atVergil’sside, Yamato. A powerful katana that has embodies the lighting speed slashes that can cut through anything.
Even the fabric of space can be split apart with a few swings ofYamato.The sword has made many appearances, but few times have players been able to use it. Its move set it showcases, cutting faster than the eye can see, and even slicing a thousand times in a small area. For years it continues to remain one of the strongest weapons in the entireseriessince the beginning.
1Devil Sword Dante
New fans will see this entry as no surprise. However, let’s go over why it could beatYamatoafter so many years. AfterDantestabs himself withRebellion, absorbing the sword andSparta Danteunleashes hisSinDevil Trigger.
Along with this new devil trigger, the sword now replacesRebellion, and while we do not know all of its powers, it was enough to stand up toVergiland match him in power. Along with the sword now apart ofDante, the sword also reacts to every different style he uses, much likeRebelliondoes. Devil sword mirrors rebellions move set, further upgrades it with chasing swords new moves and more power. Along with an enhancingdeviltrigger that shiftsDantemore into a demon than ever before.
