Got this a lot sooner than I expected. Having cleared this, all of Nero's missions are done now. This was easily the toughest one, mainly due to the Urizen fight at the end. It goes on for quite some time on DMD, and some of his attacks can be kinda tricky to avoid. Shoutout to evf02d for the double Showdown/Ragtime into Buster Arm strat that's used after the first crystal break.
The overall mission itself isn't that hard, but still tougher than others since there's just more encounters which means more chances to fuck up and get hit. If you're going for true S rank, you'll likely want to take out the Hell Caina group at the start of the mission. If you group them correctly and start attacking at S Rank (use special provocation or ground grab with Tomboy and DT activated for instant S) you can typically walk into the next battle with 6300+ points. Useful since the first required fight has few enemies and can hurt your rank a bit, 6300+ points with decent play can preserve 6k points for that portion of the mission.
With this outta the way, I'll likely focus on V's remaining missions next. I might attempt to knock out a Dante mission or two along the way, but won't seriously get into playing him until V's missions are wrapped up.
