 *  The dice game isn't random. Before being hit, it rotates in a specific sequence and the number rolled depends on what attack you hit it with. A simple way to guarantee the number you want is to watch the die's sequence and prepare yourself. Hitting it with a buster when the face up number is the one you want will guarantee that number.
-- For a ridiculously easy SSS rank TEMPORARY-DASH-CHARACTER fight the Angelo trio of two blue knights and a gold leader. They're found various times in the level or two with Magnus during Nero's story. Avoid attacking any of them while charging a Blue Rose shot, and wait for the group to charge a huge projectile together (pad rumbling lets you know this is happening and you can see a reflective ball growing). Wait until the moment after they release it towards you and then let the charged shot fly. It'll reflect the attack and kill all three. Instant SSS.

-- After beating the Demon Hunter (Normal) difficulty, the enemies change. For all four subsequent difficulty settings, you'll run into fewer Scarecrows and more of the Forsts (ice guys) and Assaults (lizards). You'll even see more Blitzes (electric guys).

-- Nero's charge shot level III hurts on impact and explodes after a few seconds. The explosion hurts enemies close to your victim and can keep one demon busy for a good seven to ten seconds while you beat up on a different demon and charge another shot.

-- Assign "shoot" to a trigger you can easily charge shots with both characters and fight at the same time.

-- Dante's Lucifer seems boring and useless, but ends up being his most powerful weapon against the  plant boss, the ice frog, and the fire boss   with the use of the Pin Up attack and Swordmaster style.

-- Dante's Gilgamesh has an attack called Real Impact. If you activate Devil Trigger after Dante jumps into the air, Dante will inflict an extra hit and do almost twice as much damage.

-- You can actually get in two extra hits. RIGHT after the moment of impact, when the action pauses for a second, press the DT button, and you'll get an extra, full power hit. Press the DT button in the air again after the third hit, when the action pauses AGAIN, and you'll get ANOTHER extra, full power hit.

-- Even on DMD, this will take away at least 1/4th of a boss's health.

-- Nero is easier to make powerful, but Dante's normal Rebellion slashes are as strong as Nero's Exceed slashes, and he has better alternatives to Snatching in a lot of cases.

-- Make sure you remap the controls so you can always hold down Shoot comfortably for charged shots, they're pretty good upgraded.

-- If you're not sure what you're doing, definitely start on "Human" difficulty. It'll get you more comfortable with the playstyle, teach you some enemy patterns, and importantly, give you a ton of proud souls to start Devil Hunter mode with.

-- In general, you are safe in the air. Practice doing Buster combos with Nero aerially especially pulling enemies up to you, beat them up, throw them down, repeat often works wonders for your health.

-- Speaking of safety, unless an enemy has already started its attack animation, it cannot attack you from offscreen. Use this to your advantage.

-- As Dante, learn how to use Trickster (D-pad UP) first. Not taking damage is, as a rule, far better than dealing it. Worry about kicking ass once you're not getting your own ass kicked.

-- As well, once you have all of Dante's weapons, figure out which ones work best when (Rebellion in general, Gilgamesh for power hits, and Lucifer is just really weird, but wonderful once it becomes "natural"). Guns too, though Pandora + Gunslinger or when triggered is excellent once you've bought the upgrades.

-- Finally, remember that when you use Devil Trigger, there's a brief explosion that knocks back enemies and deals a half decent amount of damage to them TEMPORARY-DASH-CHARACTER don't be afraid to pop DT then turn it right back off to buy you some time around you.
