But that's how Dante always does it though (unless it's the final villain of the game). He dealt with even Nero the same way in DMC 4.
If he played with Lady like he did with Nero when he showed to at least be a little semiserious, she would probably die.
And I don't see how she lost all that easily. He just beat her and then talked her down. Nothing that I recall suggests that it was a completely one-sided fight.
Maybe he didn't want to kill her?
Lady stands no chance against any Dante. Though she's still taking on supersonic demons in the anime, and iirc for a moment supported 3 large demons on her K.Ann, peak+ strength.
The 3D gear isn't going to be of much aid here. Close quarters and Lady will blow her away, even if it means taking a stab (Took that huge blade through her thigh and walked it off).

What makes you think that Trish could beat any Dante either? The only time she did anything was when Dante was being Dante; letting himself take a hit because he can and following with a smartass remark.
Didn't she give Dante some trouble in their actual fight in the original DMC? And DMC 1 Dante is way superior to DMC 3 Dante, imo. She's also a full-blooded non-fodder demoness spawned from Dante's most powerful foe yet, so I would think that she is pretty high-tier in DMCverse.
Nope. She electrocuted him, attacked, threw the sword in his chest and threw the bike at Dante's motionless body.. only for him to laugh it off, give a remark, shoot the bike away, pluck the sword from his chest and have Trish plead to not kill her by talking about the mission. She's literally nothing in comparison.
Nah, she wasn't made for brute power, like some other demons Mundus spawned. Above fodder, that's all.
