Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat Tier List: S-Tier, Explained
In the S-Tier, we have all characters capable of excelling no matter the foe or team composition. Currently, the only S-Tiers in Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat are Endless Judgment (Vergil), Swift Arsenal (Lady), and Fists of Salvation (Dante).
While Vergil allows players to bring on the storm through his vast moveset, abnormal multipliers, and ability to both apply bleed and excel in all scenarios with Judgement Cut, Lady shines thanks to her ability to excel at long-range and allow your party to regenerate health after she performs both her Style and Ultimate Skills.
Lastly, Fists of Salvation Dante is the game’s best shield breaker and it can be game-changing in the right compositions given his ability to deal Fire DMG and his massive QTE and Ultimate Skill multipliers.
A-Tier, Explained

In the A-Tier, we have characters who, although capable of really setting themselves apart when faced with the right enemies or in the right team compositions, fall behind our top tiers in either damage, attack speed, or overall utility at S-Rank.
Form the A-Tiers, Frosty Grace (Lady) and One Man Show (Dante) are the differentials, as they can deal massive Elemental damage. Frosty Grace is also by far the game’s best Ice damage dealer.
