Devil May Cry Wiki

Mirage Edge is a phantom version of Force Edge used by Vergil in Devil May Cry 5 and Special Edition.


Appearance & Description[]

Like the Mirage Blades, Mirage Edge takes the shape of Force Edge, but in a spectral blue color with a blue aura that causes visual ripples. When swung, it leaves behind a blue trail.

English version

Mirage Edge

A weapon shaped from Vergil's own infernal energy. There's something about this blade—its shape and attacks—that resembles Force Edge, the sword his father wielded so long ago.

Fast and furious, its rapid-hitting strikes can quickly overwhelm its enemies.[1]

Japanese version

ミラージュエッジ

バージルが己の魔力で具現化した魔剣。剣の姿と放つ技は、かつて振るったもう一つの父の形見、フォースエッジのそれにどこか似ている。圧倒的な手数を誇るスピーディーなコンボをキメれば、敵は気絶寸前だ。[2]

Nico's reports — Weapon reports — Vergil

English version

Mirage Edge

So I guess Vergil can just straight up make a magic sword from thin air now? Just swinging his soul around like a blade…

If your pops can manage this, maybe you can too? Would you mind…y'know, giving it a shot? For me?

Japanese version

ミラージュエッジ

バージルは魔力で剣を具現化できるらしいな。魔力の塊を振るうのだから魔剣と呼べるものだろう。

親父ができるんだから、その気になればお前もできるんじゃないか?
興味があるんだ、できたら、すぐに調べさせてくれよ。

Mirage Edge

Apparently Vergil can materialize a sword with his magic. Since it wields a mass of magical power, it can be called a magic sword.

If your father can do it, you can do it too if you want to, right?

I'm interested, so please let me look into it as soon as possible.

Gameplay[]

Devil May Cry 5[]

Mirage Edge plays almost identically to Force Edge in Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition. It is dual wielded with Yamato and incorporates some of Dante's attacks such as Stinger, Helm Breaker, Million Stab and Vergil's own version of Round Trip, Drive, and Over Drive, with the return of his unique mid-air Stinger move from Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition and a new Deep Stinger move for his Sin Devil Trigger.

As the Concentration Gauge increases, Mirage Edge gains multi-hit properties. Mirage Edge also has stunning properties like the Blow Mode attacks of Balrog and the lightning attacks of King Cerberus.

Trivia[]

  • Nico's report indicates that she is unaware that Nero is capable of manifesting a sword made out of his own demonic energy. In his case, it is limited to Showdown, where he shapes his demonic energy into a spectral Yamato.
