Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Pre-Devil Trigger Nero:
 * Red Queen: Nero's signature weapon, modeled after German Großes Messer (en. Great Sword) and customized with motorcycle-like gear shift, which, when pulled, sprays a flammable propellant across the sword and opponent, increasing the power of it's strikes. This system is known as "Exceed". It's also strong enough for Nero to be able to use it as a jet. This and few other modifications make Red Queen nearly impossible for anyone but Nero to wield.
 * Blue Rose: Heavily modified version of Smith and Wesson Model 500, crafted by Nero himself. Capable of shooting 2 bullets with one pull of the trigger. The differences are:
 * 6-shot cylinder as opposed to it's origin's original 5-shot cylinder.
 * Extra barrel underneath allowing for a double shot.
 * Got targeting sights, and porting on each barrel to reduce recoil and muzzle flip.
 * There's also a split-lag between first and second bullets. Thanks to that, the first bullet breaks the enemy's armor while the second pierces through the damaged surface and inflicts actual damage.
 * Blue Rose also has the ability to shoot one bullet at a time.
 * It's shots can also be charged with demonic energy for a higher damage input.

Post-Devil Trigger Nero: Key: Pre-Devil Trigger Nero | Post-Devil Trigger Nero & End of Game Nero
 * Devil Bringer: Nero's right arm, manifestation of his demonic power. Can manifest through it's larger spectral version. Devil Bringer can be used for lifting, striking and throwing objects way larger than Nero. It's is also able to pull objects towards it's owner, or Nero towards them instead. Proved to be highly durable which, combined with its strength, can be very useful for blocking enemy attacks.
 * Yamato: Sharper and dark-forged variation of katana. Can cut through anything, even the very fabric of space itself. Despite of it's power, Nero is not able to reveal it's full potential at the moment, but he's still managed to awake his own Devil Trigger. It allows him to summon and fire phantom swords, as well as a spectral demon avatar which mimics Nero's movements and attacks with Yamato. In that state, Nero's physical characteristics and healing factor are also amplified.

Note: Not to be confused with Fate/Extra character of the same name.
