Super costume questions

[Sanex]

Hello, i have some questions about the super costumes for people that use or have used them.

1A - I know that they lock you out of S ranking missions, but what is the maximum possible rank when using them? A? or lower?

1B - How difficult is getting that maximum rank compared to an S the regular way?

2A - I read that they do NOT grant the health regeneration effect of regular DT, is this true?

2B - If 2A is true, can i get the regeneration back somehow like by building and activating DT the regular way? Or is it inaccessible due to how the super costumes work?

Thanks in advance for any answers.

All Super Costumes give you access to infinite Devil Trigger gauge but reduces the Stylish Score by 80% so I think it's safe to assume that you'll never be able to get an S rank anywhere with them. I haven't unlocked them myself yet but from what I understand, having DT on doesn't stop you from healing yourself forever so you could probably rock it. Except for V, I don't think he ever healed himself with his dT.

Super costumes drop your style ranking by 80%. You would have to gain 5 times as many stylish points to get the equivalent rank of a non-super costume. They have no regeneration ability. The only ways you can regain health with the super costume is by getting green orbs, using Nero's gum taunt, or using Nero's DLC arm.

Why would they leave out the health regeneration? :( It makes a huge difference with making it through a tough battle or a boss. Do those costumes actually make DmD bosses more difficult due to no healing?

Infinite DT means you'll have access to much more damage. Nero's super costume allows him to always be at level 3 Exceed and to always have his gun loaded with explosive rounds. Nero's DT also gives you extra hits on all your attacks. Dante's DT lets him always have Sword Formation active, which gives him extra automatic attacks in SM and GS styles. The super costume also lets him easily charge up and enter SDT, which does a ton of damage (keep in mind that super costume does not stop SDT drain, but he'll still have infinite DT to charge SDT right back up). V's super costume lets him always have Nightmare out, and he can just set Griffin and Shadow to automatically attack enemies forever. V is even invincible if he rides Nightmare, which never disappears. He definitely has the easiest time in DMD.

Furthermore, Nero's and Dante's DT gives them the ability to ignore some enemy attacks (I believe they'll ignore 2 out of every 3 hits from small enemies, meaning they will still take the damage, but they won't be knocked out of attacks).

V and Dante can be invincible with super costume. for Nero if you have trouble just use gerbera, or pop some sweet surrender

No If you get hit outside of DT the damage in DMD is pretty huge. with DT you can tank a lot of hits. I'd say having the high defense up 100% of the time covers for the no healing ability. + you have insanely high damage output in DT.

Ah yes i forgot DT grants extra defense as well as attack damage. Plus i just learnt that gold orbs become available from Nico again in DmD mode with no purchase limit, just a cost cap of 50k.
I was worried DmD would be too much for me after some googling that i think was full of inaccurate 'guides' with false information. Journalists don't know their games apparently.
The gold orb availability along with some Dr Faust farming in that level with those weird placenta enemy spawners will be enough to help get me through DmD. I thought i would have to give in and actually buy the super costumes to enjoy them, but i reckon i can unlock them the proper way.

I know it's late. But I tried playing as Super Dante in Mission 19, and I got an S rank, in Human difficulty at least. Therefore, getting S rank "anywhere" is virtually possible.
