The fact that I haven't found a single pure platinum viola witch trials video says more about this character than I could put in a bible's worth of words
(There are many trash things about her character) but one that really pisses me off is that she can still take damage when she’s in her faerie form. Like WHY?! Bayonetta/Jeanne don’t allow any damage with Masquerade Rage so why does she? It’s so stupid but something I’ve noticed and it just doesn’t make any sense
Because her faerie form is not designed to do a big high damaging area move like bayonetta/jeanne demon masquerade form and you exit out of it. They design it as form that you can free move around on in battle with a time limit which makes sense. Technically viola doesn't frequently go it faerie in battle like bayonetta/jeanne does. How its active it's not the same as the demon masquerade. It's a near death transformation.
I'll never get over how they made a B3 Bayonetta boss, only to use a random anchor for the story boss, and then not even cosmetic swap for B3 Jeanne and instead reuse her Egypt Jeanne version. What even were the priorities here?
Im actually managing to land blocks for a change, but its still feels like a weird thing to get used to after maining Bayonetta's dodging attacks, ironically Tartarus would be better suited for Viola than it would for Bayonetta if she was allowed to switch weapons
Well, blocking takes time to get used to, but it is quite manageable. Only Kick moves breaks all fluidness. While block can be performed after punch at any point, kick moves are completely useless and must be cancelled before the sword throw no matter what very early. Viola's design is bad from A to Z. A lot in her gameplay just don't make sence. Like Hideki Kamiya just invited someone's 4y.o. son and let him create the character from the scratch
@@sadpug9398 as well as mashing in the mechanics that make Bayonetta and Jeanne work like dodge offsetting, which doesn't feel good at all for blocking 😩 But that's what I mean about Tartarus! Instead of her modifier being a charged fire slash (cause seriously speedy weak slashes/Cheshire negates the need to use it most of the time, even her martial arts feels better to use), they should have implemented her blocking mechanics with her modifier just like Tartarus, so not only does it feel better to block more efficiently instead of perfectly timed r button presses, but the Moon accessory gives you just as much a safe feeling of defence as it does Bayonetta/Jeanne with their dodges/Bat Within. Gives her a different reason to use the R button now! It's horrible trying to pay attention to the zoomed out enemy attack patterns to time perfect blocks, even as their wind ups are never clear enough and you often rely on Bat Within to cheese the damage, she sometimes feels like a Bayonetta Weapon slot that you have no option to change out of (and she can't even equip costumes, just fckin t-shirts 😩) However I do think it's really neat that some of her moves have her temporarily part with her sword as it spins around her, letting you use your martial arts AND additional chip damage from all sides
This looks painful as hell omg she is never fun to play with in witch trials , not an optimal choice at all , still has no tools to the bigger enemies or the tower homunculi ... And this is the new "Bayonetta"? This is almost insulting tbh
I don't know about you guys, but Viola is terrible to play at least for me, I think it's because of her Witch Time that is harder to hit or maybe she can't get immune when dodging attacks anyway I hate all Chapters of game I have to play with her because I suck
I actually have also completed Rodin with Viola at Pure Paltinum. Use Butterflies and Little Devils then keep only using R + Forward moves. It will work trust me
Is she could witch time out of dodging and/or block without her sword her gameplay would be so much better, like dmc4 nero, not as good or as polished as in dmc5, but very much playable.
THE THUMBNAIL IM CRYING😭

At least there is 1 video of Viola beating wt3 (not my video, sadly)
Notice Viola's title on the character select screen is literally" The UNTESTED Firebrand". Need I say more?
💀💀💀
some of the enemies clearly weren't desiged with viola in mind.
Ah yes, DMC4 syndrome.
My man is losing his mind out there lmao (can’t blame you though)

Pissed off Baal's rain can harm Masquerade Rage
Because she's a witch IN TRAINING ? 🙃

It jsut feels like Honkai where you are trying to cheese a ranged boss weather with literally Durandal

3 days ago i have completed with Viola Witch Trial 3. I am not joking.

This comment section makes me lose hope for this fandom 🤡
Someone still has hope? After 8 years?
@@sadpug9398 I do, many mechanics introduced in 3 are keepers for the rest of the franchise.
@@Alex95rlz I like the concepts of the demon slaves being tied to the weapons, but Viola's playstyle is so far pretty ehh imo.
@@Alex95rlz Hard disagree, 3 reminded me just how fluid and smooth 1 felt.
@@shorjaken4070 I do hope we get a remaster for 3 that runs smoother, but demon slave and masquerades are franchise keepers.
