Demon Slayer Storyline
Demon Slayer starts at Temple of Time 100 years ago. He has served the Black Magician for many years. However, he suddenly notices that the Black Mage is an absolute ruler and he can no longer serve him. He sees Masetuma, who is also a henchman of the Black Mage. He tells her about what happened that made him think that way (which we learn about later) and goes to face Akylum, one of the Black Mage’s generals.

Just a few days ago, he met with the other generals of the Black Mage: Orca, Von Leon and Akylum. They were planning to burn his town… He storms out of there and returns to his house after hearing what they were planning to do, and guess what? It’s in flames. He quickly spots the pendant that his wife wore. His family all died. His sister, his mom, all got burned by the Black Mage.

Demon Slayer returns to Temple of Time (going back to the beginning). There, he attacks Akylum but achieves nothing. Akylum summons a couple of monsters on him but Demon Slayers kill them quickly.

Demon Slayer underestimates Akylum. Akylum created an energy ‘egg’ and locked Demon Slayer and Masetuma inside. After hundreds of years, he wakes up and easily cracks the egg. He finds himself in a lab in Edelstein surrounded by two guards, the same rabbits from the Mercedes storyline. He gets so mad at them that he kills them. J is there as well, hiding. J takes him and makes him join the Resistance.

From then on, the quests are for Demon Slayer to seek revenge. He tracks down the Black Mage for the rest of his life to avenge his family’s death. That’s why there are also quests that involve the puppeteer, Orca, and even Von Leon. All of those who betrayed him…

Common Misconceptions and FAQ
Q: Demon Slayer uses potions to recover Force?
Demon Slayer uses a new system called Force. It is somewhat similar to Aran Combo system and Crusader’s Combo Attack Skill. All of their skills consumes only HP (Health) and DF (Force), no MP. So don’t stock up on Mana Potions in your Demon Slayer’s inventory! Since Health Potion is much cheaper than Mana Potion, Demon Slayer saves a lot from spending too much meso on repotting mana potion.

Q: Do Demon Slayer uses a new weapon called Scythe?
Scepters are the new weapon used by Demon Slayer, not Scythe although most Demon Slayer Skill animation displays Scythe. They also use Force Shields that acts as their Force Reservoir and Stats Boost. You can see this job as an unholy Paladin

Q: Are Demon Slayer Magician Class?
Although their weapons and shield looks alike to magician, Demon Slayers are Warrior Sub Class under Resistance Class. So they possess most of Warrior traits such as high health, strength as their primary attribute but with more mobility.

Demon Slayer Stats
Since Demon Slayer are Warriors, their primary attribute is STR (Strength). Spend AP (Ability Points) into STR to boost your minimum and maximum damage as well as enabling you to equip higher level Warrior equipments. To increase amount of Max Force (DF) there are 2 ways: advancing jobs and equipping shields.

The more MaxDF you have, you can spam more Force Skill. You get both Scepter and Force Shield when you get to the specific level required.

If you level them, they increase only the stats that they already have (ie. the first two shields will never get STR or DEX) and the maxDF does not increase upon level up. The max level is 4 for the first three and 9 for the last one. They are all untradeable and cannot be scrolled or potentialed.

Demon Slayer 1st Job

SkillsDemon Slash:
Makes your normal attacks able to attack enemies in front of you. You may press your attack key multiple times to do four attacks on your enemy. Attacks can absorb a certain amount of Force from the enemy.
MAX LEVEL 10: 1st, 2nd attacks: Attacks up to 6 enemies, Damage: 100%.
3rd attack: Attacks up to 6 enemies, Damage: 90%, Number of attacks: 2.
4th attack: Attacks up to 6 enemies, Damage: 90%, Number of attacks: 3.
Demon Slash is Demon Slayer primary attacking skill for all job Advancement because it is used to gain Force to activate other Demon Slayer’s Skills. It’s better than Aran’s Double Swing, just that it gets deadlier when it hits monster more than twice. By the 4th hit, it out-damages most Demon Slayer skill that requires Force. Best part of all, Demon Slash is upgraded automatically upon advancing 2nd and 3rd Job!

Devil Scythe (Required Skill: Demon Slash lv. 1):
Summon the demon’s sickle to attack a number of enemies at the same time.
MAX LEVEL 15: HP Cost: 15, Force Cost: 3, Hold skill’s key and attack up to 8 monsters and deal 85% damage 3 times.
When you hold-down any skill button that consumes Force Points, it keeps draining your Force points till it reaches zero or until it couldn’t pay up. Basically creates a twirling scepter in front of you and if monsters are within that area, they get slash 3 times. I guess this is the time when you can rest your fingers for few seconds after rapid clicking on normal attack button.

Demon Booster (Required Skill: Demon Slash lv. 5):
MAX LEVEL 20: HP Cost: 80, Duration: 180 seconds.
Boost your attack speed greatly by +2. Channel some SP (Skill Points) into this skill after Demon Slash if you plan to train on monsters that requires more than 2 hits to defeat.

Dark Agility (Required Skill: Demon Slash lv. 1)
Permanently increase your accuracy, speed, and jump.
MAX LEVEL 10: Accuracy +200, Speed +25, Jump +20.
Speed is the essence of getting around quickly within training spots and cities, especially large ones that does not have hidden teleportation portals. Since it increases jump height, this aids hovering in air longer after a high jump by activating Devil Wings.

HP Increase:
Increases your maximum HP permanently.
MAX LEVEL 10: MaxHP +20%.
Even though this skill does not look useful in early levels of Demon Slayer, it plays a vital role in later levels where Demon Slayer absorbs boss attacks during boss raid. More health means less risk of dieing within 1-2 hits from boss.

Dark Thrust:
Rush a large number of enemies forward. Attacks up to 8 enemies 3 times while rushing.

Instant teleportation to a nearby monster within your map. It is similar to Magician teleport, just that it always teleports you to a nearby monster to hit with your scepter/mace. This skill costs a lot of Force though, not great for training purposes. Therefore, it is max last since Dark Thrust does most of the job. Oh yeah, having trouble getting near hackers? Just use this skill to instantly teleport to hacker location where they vac monsters in inaccessible area. Owned!

Dark Revenge:
For a period of time, give damage received back to your enemies and there will be a chance to paralyze the enemy. However, if the enemy’s HP is more than half of its max, you cannot give the enemy the damage back.

Warrior Power Guard mixed with Paladin Guardian for demon flavor! It reflects damage similar to Fighter/Page Power Guard, and it does 1 extra thing, it also stuns enemies too just like 4th job Paladin skill: Guardian! Nexon its running out of ideas and tries to cramp in 2nd-4th job skills into Demon Slayer.

Physical Training:
Permanently improves strength and dexterity.
MAX LEVEL 10: STR +30, DEX +30.
Nothing fancy here. Boost your stats for better base damage. This can be maxed last if you would like to have all the active skills working at your disposal!
