DMC5: Proto angelo Guide

[@tosyl_chloride]

Huh, I never noticed that Proto is possibly the only lesser demon who speaks audible English.

[@salsamancer]

He's probably got a human core

[@alastor8091]

@@salsamancer if you read the report, Angelos are made by forcing a human, specifically an unwilling one, into the armor. I'm just wondering why there weren't more of them or why they were even made in the first place. They do seem to have any place in game unlike the Angelos in 4.

[@yourguyforham4216]

@@alastor8091 why do you say that

[@alastor8091]

@@yourguyforham4216 because the Orders main thing is their experimentation with demons so it would make sense that they would have mechanized soldiers using a refined process to make an army of them. In 5, Urizen has the Angelos, but he's never seen interacting with them in any way shape or form unlike in 4 how Agnus and Sanctus do. They're not part of the story. Really, none of Urizens subordinates are. Unlike how Sanctus has meetings and frequently interacts with his men, Urizen literally doesn't say a single word to anybody under him making his group look and feel completely disconnected from him. The Angelos in 5 just show up for no reason.

[@itsOGP]

good analysis! Again another tie in to Vergil, just like Shadow, Griffin and Nightmare Proto Angelo is a representation of his time as Nelo Angelo 👌🏾

[@dylanw1691]

For Nero on DMD, a DTed buster arm breakage can one-shot him. I'd recommend always do so because DT+red mode is painful to deal with

[@salsamancer]

Nero eats this guy for breakfast- shuffle alone basically negates all his offense

[@КириллСоколов-з9э]

Test breakege in void with and without DT, cause it isn't doing additional damage. DT only boosts phantom buster

Hideki Itsuno: Hey, remember how much Nelo Angelo used to bully you back in the day? Now you get to bully him back, your welcome :)

[@Rhy2412TitanGamer]

Ugh. This is an enemy that I have a love/hate relationship with. When alone or with Scudo Angelos, they're cake. But with other more dangerous enemies (especially on DMD where the red mode & DT stack for insane defense) they can sneak in 1 powerful hit that can easily chop away 40%+ of a character's health when you're not looking if they're in red mode DT (or in V's case over 55%). I only have issues with them when I'm playing Dante. Here's my advise. 1. Fight this creature last or Distort Real Impact this guy during the spawn animation. Decide this immediately & make sure you switch to balrog kick mode to make ignition for the quick kill. 2. Use coyote to knock him down and away. 3. King Cerberus can parry him, juggle him, and crumple him all in one weapon. 4. Cavaliere eats through his health in juggles. 5. He is parry bait. 6. Since he's slow, other enemies will reach you before he does, so manipulating the camera controls him so much more than other enemies.

[@meathir4921]

Does DT distortion even work in DMC5?

[@shariac5786]

16:26 Proto: **Im gonna kill you.** Dante: 16:28

[@GhostHesh3456]

He really hit him with the "Wait your turn!"

[@Ch35h1r3C47]

I always liked the angelo enemies, they look cool and fighting knight-style opponents with swords and shields and formations is fun. Some cool facts here i didn't know though, thanks!

[@deepjyotideb1173]

Most in depth and on point video of dmc5, I didn't know so many of the hidden mechanics of enemies and I'm sure not many cared but looking at your video makes me now appreciate how much detail the devs kept in their games. Good work

[@HadesHatredEdge]

What's most shocking to me is that he speaks. I had no idea. He says Vergil's Drive>Overdrive line too.

[@MrCerebellum2]

6:14 “Don’t care, virgin”. LUL

[@kimchester1934]

The way that proto angelo speaks makes him a really cool guy for me

[@jeffl2558]

You can kill the Proto Angelo boss in mission 7 in one hit at the beginning if you are Nero and the computer is V. At the beginning charge your maximum bet (DT then back + Circle&Triangle) until the Proto Angelo starts to charge at you with the Secudo Angelos behind him, then release it. You will parry his attack and the computer V will automatically finish him off once he enters the parry state. Maximum bet will also break the shields of any of the Secudo Angelos it hits. This works even in DMD mode, and I guess it could work with a human as V if he knows to expect it. The computer just does it automatically.

[@Spectre1301]

I also feel that it's worth mentioning that a good cheese for this enemy is the super buster with the buster arm. IIRC it can one shot him on lower difficulties. For good measure I would recommend using boost knuckle on him after a knockdown and then super buster.

[@AzureInnocence]

i regularly reserve my break age buster on this thing. it will delete this thing even on dmd

[@mr.kenway4554]

@@AzureInnocence Nope, at most a super buster could shave off half his health. You need 2 or possibly 3 at the very most to kill this guy on DMD.

[@itsOGP]

Not even my credit to take but another KZbinr (Mr. Harmuzad) noted that Proto’s lines are just like Vergil’s phrases in DMC4 “Go to hell!” and “It’s over!” again another tie in to Vergil... like Shadow, Griffon and Nightmare Proto is a manifestation of his time as Nelo Angelo !

[@Ademar440]

If you attack proto when he is calling for a formation wiht the scudo angelos with V, and somehow you can break that sword stance, you get a small chance of killing one or more of them instantly like what happens with the death scissors.

[@salsamancer]

A lot has been said about this guy already. Let me just add this: parrying his overheard attack with a helmbreaker/double-down feels so damn GOOD

[@scarletsky2614]

I have so much respect for you, this is so thorough and helpful.

[@DkKombo]

Now the thing that would be cool is if he taunted back. Now I kinda wish all the enemies taunted back.

[@jackisback4873]

yeah like how doppelganger did in dmc3 or Nero Angelo in dmc1

[@Peppermint_747]

Nobodies can taunt to steal your DT, but it's super rare

[@disquietellie]

Vergil will taunt you and dante will use his EX taunt if you do while you have an SSS rank

[@HasvenWorld]

Hearing Nico say "Super Sexy" nearly made me lose it

[@dancemacabre617]

So my old way I did it before I started Royal Guarding literally everything, was I would attack him from behind and use Cavalier to get that stun and as soon as you get SSS, you turn SDT and do the move that stuns and repeat

[@somechinesedude5466]

Damn, that coordinated attack is some sick mechanism

[@WoWisdeadtome]

Man seeing the real time gameplay makes me feel a lot better about my own. I don't have nearly the combo repertoire to make a combo video but I can loop some pretty basic stuff over and over. The BP examples are more polished than my play for sure but I'm not way far behind.

[@Spectre1301]

Awesome! I was about to ask you to do a guide for this enemy lol. Interesting bit about parrying the coordinated attacks, I didn't know that it will affect the scudo angelos as well.

My suggestion, use the gauntlets with Dante in boxing mode. If you have the duck and weave move, it's easier to tap and move thanks to I-frames

[@Envoy15]

Great guides! Requesting one on my problem enemy: Behemoth. I thought i was hot shit with megacascade cheese, but it turns out most arenas you fight them in are MUCH smaller than the void, so mega cascade isn't really a safe bet all the time. Right now i just JC a buncha stuff over them, go for the cerberus parry when they charge, and the real impact when they're stunned. It works, but I'm interested in other tactics.

Hi man, awesome guides you do!!! Could you please make a guide about Nero's skills damage? I was surprised to learn how much damage the usual charged strikes do. I also know that the most damage attack is the super attack in DT, but you need stunned enemy and no one around to break your preparation. So I would like to see the best damage combos in different situations to make as much damage as possible for single enemy or multiply not worrying about the rank.

[@alastor8091]

Thanks for uploading this. I hate these enemies. They're just not fun to fight. They had their type perfected with the Angelos in 4. They kept the pressure up, had great tells and counters that weren't slow as Hell. You hit a Scudos shield and he'll do the most drawn out shield bash I've ever seen. Protos have shit counters and attacks that you see coming a mile away. Protos are too tanky, too slow l, and always break the flow of combat by blocking instead of dodging and countering like Altos who would block but then immediately come back in rewarding the player for being able to do a counter counter or punishing them for being too slow. They need less armor, more speed, and faster counters. Biancos were slow, but they could close in fast, had anti air, good tells, and fast punishes for attacking the shield where as Scudos are slow, have snail paced counters, have shitty formation attacks, no anti air, and are far less intimidating and more annoying than anything. The enemy design mechanically was very poor in this game.

You just suck ass at the game. Enemy design in this game is 100 times better than in the previous iterations
