The Bangle of Time and Quicksilver Style slow down time so that enemies move slower, but constantly reduce the DT gauge while in effect.

While in Devil Trigger, some characters take on a demonic form.

In this form, the characters physical and magical attributes are amplified, and the character may have access to upgrades or even additions to their normal abilities like flying or hovering.

When playing on higher difficulties, enemies can enter Devil Trigger after a short period determined by the enemy type, typically making them more resilient and powerful.

Additional effects are apparent, though these vary between games, and are usually determined by the equipped weapons or items of the character.

It is a basic feature of Dantes Devil Trigger in Devil May Cry 5, called Glider.

Several other characters, specifically Arkham, Credo, Agnus and Sanctus have abilities resembling Devil Trigger, though it is not known if it is actually the same ability.

When they enter Devil Trigger, they exude a dark fiery aura and their eyes turn red.

In this state they deal more damage, take less damage, and have increased resistance to flinching from hits and being knocked down or launched.

Dante uses Devil Trigger to create sword formations with Devil Sword Dante and Vergil can conjure a large number of Summoned Swords at once, both expending a portion of Devil Trigger to do so.

Dante and Vergil can concentrate their Devil Trigger and release large amounts at once during transformation, dealing high damage to nearby enemies.

The explosion is charged by holding the DT button until the chosen number of Devil Trigger runes glow.

This also serves a defensive purpose as Nero is granted i-frames during the attack.

This allows the character to stay in Devil form indefinitely, taking advantage of the power, defense, and speed boosts, but negates the Devil Triggers ability to regenerate (an exception being to Super Dante in the original game, Super Legendary Dark Knight and Super Corrupt Vergil, which still retains all devil trigger abilities without losing any runes.) In Devil May Cry 4 and 5, the Super costume also reduces the mission rating by a certain percentage when used.

In Devil May Cry 5, Super characters gain a red glow in their eyes.

It acts as a power bank, storing demonic energy to be released later.

In all games the gauge appears as separate symbols, except for Devil May Cry 2 where it is represented as a bar.

Most of the time, the player starts with only the necessary three runes to power their demonic form, though at least one exception does exist.

The player can extend the DT Gauge by buying Purple Orbs, allowing them to maintain their form for a longer period of time.

The amount of time the user can stay in Devil Trigger is determined by the length of the Devil Trigger Gauge.

At least three runes must be filled in order to enter Devil Trigger.

Once Devil Trigger is engaged, energy is drained from the gauge until the DT form is cancelled, either voluntarily or when the gauge runs out of energy.

It is also possible to increase the gauge by taking damage in most games, though this is much riskier.
