How to Get Vergil A Universal Time Update 5.5

Welcome to the most comprehensive guide on unlocking Vergil in A Universal Time (AUT) Update 5.5 Part 2! As one of the most anticipated additions to the game, Vergil brings his signature stylish combat and devastating power to the battlefield. Whether you’re a seasoned AUT player or just starting your journey, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about obtaining Vergil, farming the required resources, and mastering his incredible moveset.

Quick Overview: Vergil Acquisition Methods

Method	Cost	Difficulty	Time Required	Best For
UPoints Route	1,000 UPoints	Easy	Immediate	Players with premium currency
Crimson Orbs Route	100,000 Crimson Orbs	Hard	20-40 hours grinding	Free-to-play players
Alternative Path	Beowulf Quest + 25,000 Orbs	Medium	15-25 hours	Players wanting both abilities

Understanding Vergil: The Legendary DMC Character

Vergil (バージル) represents the pinnacle of stylish combat in A Universal Time, introduced as part of Update 5.5’s second wave of Devil May Cry content. As Dante’s twin brother and wielder of the legendary Yamato sword, Vergil brings a completely unique playstyle focused on speed, precision, and devastating aerial combos. His inclusion marks one of the most significant updates to AUT’s roster, offering players a high-skill ceiling character with incredible burst damage potential and combo versatility.

What makes Vergil truly special is his ability to chain attacks seamlessly while maintaining pressure on opponents. Unlike many other abilities in AUT, Vergil’s kit revolves around the “Instant Judgement Cut” mechanic, allowing skilled players to extend combos and deal massive damage in short periods. This makes him particularly appealing to players who enjoy technical characters that reward practice and dedication.

Complete Vergil Acquisition Guide

Route 1: Premium UPoints Method (Fastest Way)

The quickest way to unlock Vergil is through the in-game shop system:

Navigate to the Main Menu and select the “Abilities” tab
Locate Vergil in the Legendary abilities section
Purchase for 1,000 UPoints – this is the premium currency route
Immediate unlock – no additional requirements needed

This method is ideal for players who:

Have saved up UPoints from previous events
Want immediate access to Vergil without grinding
Are willing to spend premium currency for convenience

Route 2: Crimson Orbs Method (Free-to-Play Friendly)

The traditional farming method requires dedication but costs no real money:

Step 1: Locate Devil Vergil NPC

Finding the Devil Vergil NPC:

Location: West Park area in the main world
Specific Position: Under the large tree to the right side of the park
Appearance: Vergil in his Sin Devil Trigger form (glowing blue/white aura)
Interaction: Approach and talk to the NPC to access the DMC Store

Step 2: Access the DMC Store

Once you’ve found Devil Vergil:

Initiate dialogue with the NPC
Select “DMC Store” from the menu options
Browse available abilities including Vergil, Beowulf, and Mirage Blades
Choose Vergil and confirm your purchase with 100,000 Crimson Orbs

Step 3: Complete the Purchase

Cost: 100,000 Crimson Orbs
Confirmation: Vergil will be added to your abilities inventory
Availability: Immediate use after purchase
Storage: Make sure you have space in your ability storage

Crimson Orb Farming: Ultimate Strategy Guide

Understanding Crimson Orbs

Crimson Orbs are the special currency introduced with Update 5.5, specifically designed for DMC content. These orbs are only obtainable through combat activities using DMC-related abilities, making them both challenging and rewarding to farm.

Best Farming Methods

Method 1: DMC Ability Farming (Most Efficient)

Requirements:

Own at least one DMC ability (Beowulf, Vergil, or other DMC specs)
Access to areas with high NPC density
Time investment for consistent farming

Strategy:

Equip any DMC ability – even basic ones work
Find high-density NPC areas – locations with many enemies
Use DMC moves exclusively – only DMC ability kills count
Chain kills efficiently – minimize downtime between encounters
Monitor your orb collection – track progress toward 100,000

Best Farming Locations:

Main World Areas: High NPC spawn zones
Quest Areas: Locations with repeatable enemy spawns
Boss Arenas: Areas with challenging but rewarding enemies

Method 2: Beowulf Combination Strategy

Since Beowulf costs only 25,000 Crimson Orbs, consider this approach:

Farm 25,000 Crimson Orbs first (much more manageable)
Purchase Beowulf from the DMC Store
Use Beowulf for farming – DMC abilities boost orb collection
Continue farming with Beowulf until reaching 100,000
Purchase Vergil while keeping Beowulf

This method gives you two powerful abilities and potentially faster farming rates.

Farming Efficiency Tips

Maximize Your Hourly Rate:

Use optimal DMC abilities for clearing enemies quickly
Focus on weak enemies for faster kills and more orbs per hour
Avoid strong enemies that take too long to defeat
Stay in high-density areas to minimize travel time
Use boost items if available from events or codes

Time Management:

Set daily goals – aim for 2,000-5,000 orbs per session
Track your progress – maintain a farming log
Take breaks – prevent burnout during long grinding sessions
Farm during peak hours when servers are most active

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to farm 100,000 Crimson Orbs?

With efficient farming methods, expect around 20–40 hours of active gameplay. The exact time depends on your route optimization, server population, competition for NPCs, and whether you own multiple DMC abilities. A smart strategy is to unlock Beowulf (25,000 Orbs) first to increase your farming speed before committing to the full Vergil grind.

Is Vergil worth the Crimson Orb investment?

Yes. Vergil offers top-tier damage, elite combo potential, strong PvP and PvE viability, and long-term value. His high skill ceiling rewards practice. On top of that, the achievement rewards (10M uCoins, 1M uShards, and 50 rerolls) provide significant return on investment.

What’s the best way to practice Vergil combos?

Start in the Training Ground to master basic M1 strings, then perfect Instant Judgement timing. Practice aerial consistency with Q+ and R+ variants, optimize heat management, and gradually integrate full combo strings. Recording gameplay, studying skilled players, joining community servers, and practicing daily will dramatically improve performance.

Should I use UPoints or farm Crimson Orbs?

Choose UPoints if you value time, want immediate access, or plan to compete soon. Farm Crimson Orbs if you prefer a free-to-play path, enjoy grinding, or want the satisfaction of earning him. A hybrid approach—farming while saving UPoints for emergencies—is often the most balanced strategy.

How does Vergil compare to other Legendary abilities?

Vergil excels in aerial combos, burst damage, and overall versatility. He rewards player skill and has strong meta relevance. However, he requires solid heat management, good positioning, and mechanical precision. Predictable patterns can be punished in high-level PvP.

What are the best Vergil counters in PvP?

Zoning abilities, projectile pressure, super armor moves, and high-mobility characters work best. Keeping distance, punishing recovery frames, and breaking combo momentum are key strategies. Tanks and space-control characters can also mitigate his pressure.

Will Vergil receive nerfs in future updates?

Currently, Vergil is powerful but considered balanced due to his high skill requirement and heat limitations. If changes occur, they are more likely to be minor adjustments, bug fixes, or quality-of-life tweaks rather than heavy nerfs.

How do I unlock the “Devil May Cry” title?

You must complete the “This is Power” achievement by performing 10,000 Instant Judgement Cuts. Expect around 15–30 hours of focused gameplay. The title provides cosmetic prestige and recognition within the community.

What’s the best Vergil combo for maximum damage?

For maximum damage with SDT:
M1 ×2 → T+ (Rising Star) → Q+ (Aerial Rave) → Instant Judgement Cut ×2 → Land → B (SDT) → Z (Doppelganger) → M1 ×4 → Instant Judgement Cut ×4 → G (Judgement Cut End).

Without SDT, a practical combo is:
M1 ×3 → T (Rapid Slash) → M1 ×2 → Instant Judgement Cut ×3 → Z (Doppelganger) → E (Barrage) → Instant Judgement Cut ×2.

How often should I use Sin Devil Trigger?

Use SDT strategically. Activate during boss fights at 50–60% HP, in PvP for guaranteed kills or escapes, when overwhelmed, or to extend high-damage combos. Only use it at full heat with good positioning. Avoid activating randomly, on weak enemies, or while vulnerable. Always maximize its duration and impact.

Conclusion

Vergil represents the pinnacle of stylish combat in A Universal Time, offering incredible depth for dedicated players. Whether you choose the premium route or embark on the Crimson Orb farming journey, unlocking Vergil opens up a completely new dimension of gameplay possibilities.

Remember that mastery takes time – don’t be discouraged if your early combos drop or if the farming feels grindy. Every Vergil main started exactly where you are now, and the satisfaction of landing that perfect 10-hit Judgement Cut combo or finally achieving the “This is Power” milestone makes every moment of practice worthwhile.

The DMC content in Update 5.5 Part 2 is just the beginning. With Mirage Blades on the horizon and future DMC abilities likely in development, investing time in Vergil now positions you perfectly for upcoming content releases.
