Game(s): Devil May Cry series
Archetype: Fighter
Class: Weapons Master
Skills/Attributes:
- Master sword fighter.
- Master gun slinger.
- Superhuman strength.
- Superhuman speed.
- Superhuman agility.
- Oozes badassitude.
Overview:
We covered Dante first, then Nero, now here we are with one of the badass women of the series, Trish! A demon created in the likeness of Dante and Vergil’s mother, Trish is the physical equal of any of the protagonists of the series, and in fact served as a boss in the first game! Wielding large blades (usually the Sword of Sparda) as well as dual pistols with extreme skill, she easily clears any qualifiers we might put on a Weapon Master, and I would daresay she’s one of the most proficient fighters we’ve ever covered.
As with Nero, Trish packs a whole lot of power into a very slim and compact frame. She’s super strong, super fast, and super agile, all thanks to her demonic origins and (I’m sure) quite rigorous training regimen. We don’t have demon blood on our side, unfortunately, but we can attempt to develop a regimen to turn you into the strongest devil hunter you can be! Before we jump into the workout, however, let’s take a look at our usual supplementary articles.
Make sure you take a look at these, as understanding proper nutrition intake is going to be key to developing that compact, strong build we’re looking for!

Strength Notes:
We’re going with a three workout split here, with each workout featuring a primary compound movement or two (bench press, back squat, deadlift, overhead press) combined with some supplementary lifts and supersets. Remember, a superset means you do one set back-to-back with a set of the next exercise, THEN rest. For example: in Strength Workout A you’ll do 8 reverse lunges on each leg and then IMMEDIATELY do eight weighted hip thrusts!
The circuits are there to provide additional accessory work, as well as build muscular endurance and athletic movement/agility. They’ll also burn additional calories, helping you maintain that slim build even while building ridiculous strength and power with your initial lifting sets.
Cardio
Equipment Required:
Sledgehammer
Old Tire
Cardio Workout:
30-45 minute Run
3×3 minute Weapon Drills (rest 1 minute between each 3 minute set)
4×20:10 Sprints (sprint twenty seconds, rest ten seconds)
Cardio Notes:
We’re building aerobic and anaerobic conditioning in a single workout, with a long run (start with walking if necessary,) followed by combat conditioning and some speed work! This will build overall cardiovascular fitness, as well as landspeed for chasing devils over short or long distances!
Schedule:
Day 1: Strength A
Day 2: Strength B
Day 3: Cardio
Day 4: Strength C
Day 5: Rest
Schedule Notes:
This is a five day rotational schedule, meaning when you finish day 5, you go right back to day 1 again! This can be a little demanding, so if you need to, you can insert an extra rest day between Strength B and your Cardio day. Try to work your way towards this schedule, though, it’ll increase your workload and turn you into more of a dangerous demoness!
That’s it for our time with Trish, I’ll see you tonight at 7 for our regular live hangout over on the Be a Game Character YouTube Channel! Next character is going to be Jin from the Tekken series, either here on the blog next week, or on the Patreon for all Patrons right now!
Until next time, as always, remember to live boldly, change the world, and continue to be awesome!
Awesome as Always!, thank you Dan.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
