Simply tapping the Devil Bringer button will execute a slam attack that deals massive damage, making it a good way to end a combo as the slam will quite often deal enough damage to finally kill an enemy. After successfully stunning an opponent with a basic sword attack, you can usually attack with the hand. While the sword is good for starting combos, it's the unique Devil Bringer attacks that make for spectacular finishes and can even infinitely extend combos. As well, you have a slight invulnerability at the moment you jump that's good for dodging attacks. You can still be hit while in the air, but it's less likely. While on the ground, you are very vulnerable to enemy attacks from behind and even from enemies you may think you're hitting. It's important to quickly move the combo from the ground to the air. Tag an opponent with a couple of shots and move into a High Roller to start an air combo.

Ground sword attacks have a large hit radius in front of you that's good for stopping opponents and setting them up for air combos. The basic sword combos you execute on the ground (rapidly press the sword attack button) are generally a good way to start a combo, but don't rely on them entirely. It's important to thoughtfully string together attacks that build off each other. Unlike some other games, simply mashing buttons won't do you much good. Success in Devil May Cry 4 hinges on your ability to string together combos to both keep opponents indisposed and to build your style meter that earns you new skills.
