Played four more missions with Lady, she is so freaking fun and a total beast. That damage.
Love the feedback her weapons give you, both when shooting and with how the enemies react, it feels like they got hit by a truck (even the ice dudes). She rips through all enemy types equally well so far.
The style of play they came up with her here is excellent, some people want her to be much faster or be able to snatch like Nero but imo that is very much unnecessary (it makes sense for those characters to be faster and stronger physically). The way she feels now is unique both in the game and the genre in general.
The only additions I would make for her are more unique moves, but that is of course best left for DMC5 (I will be REALLY bummed if she isn't playable there).
Imo she is also beginner friendly as long as you know the basics of dodging in DMC (with jumping) and shouldn't be too hard to learn for people who are more accustomed to shooters than action games.
Is this your first time playing any version of DMC4? Because I'm quite sure Proud Souls and Red Orbs carried over between Nero and Dante in vanilla DMC4.
We are just being grateful that they carry over between campaigns as well.
