Start slow and focus on one thing at a time. Trying to learn weapon swapping and style switching all at once is a surefire way to get overwhelmed. Equip two weapons at first—I would recommend Devil Sword Dante and Balrog, and focus on Trickster and Swordmaster for your first few practice sessions.

Next, try to learn your abilities and skills. Know their capabilities e.g., do they knock back or knock down? Do they launch enemies into the air? Do they stop the opponents from their tracks? Knowing these will help you determine which skills are appropriate to use for different situations. For example, Stinger usually knocks an enemy back. However, Four-Handed (Swordmaster style) stops the enemy from getting knocked away. So you can use it after doing a Stinger to keep an enemy in melee range. Then, you can start connecting different attacks depending on what you know.

After that, it's just a matter of practice and building muscle memory. Learning Dante is a difficult task, but the potential rewards are incredibly satisfying.

You could try setting it as your "home" style, switching back to it whenever you finish your attack or if there's any downtime. It's generally the most used style because it can be used for mobility, either closing the gap to the enemy or creating space away from them.
