Builds

Six launch routes. Clan plus kit plus the next three things to do — not a 40-node spreadsheet.

Thunder First Blade

slayerMeta starter
Clan
Agatsuma, Kamado, or Uzui
Kit
Thunder Breathing
Weapon
Fancy Katana → keep upgrading the sword line

Fastest current kit for both PvE and PvP, and the clan pair is obvious if Agatsuma lands.

  1. 01Keep any Supreme. Keep Agatsuma on sight.
  2. 02Krue → Tom → movement nodes → Zentaro at 25.
  3. 03Do not skip Wall Climb; the Thunder hike requires it.
  4. 04Wagwan until ~60, then Final Selection.

Serpent from Spawn

slayerClosest trainer
Clan
Iguro or Kamado
Kit
Serpent Breathing
Weapon
Katana

Obari is on the cliff above Windy Peak. You can be a styled slayer without crossing the map.

  1. 01Farm 20 Demon Horns and 5 Beast Cores while doing Krue and Tom.
  2. 02Climb north of the village at 25.
  3. 03Use the extra mobility to reach Wagwan and Selection faster than Thunder hikers.

Flame Clear

slayerPvE simple
Clan
Rengoku
Kit
Flame Breathing
Weapon
Katana

Ten horns, a bridge walk, and a kit that does not lie to you. Best when you want bosses dead, not a montage.

  1. 01If Rengoku drops, this is the pair. Do not overthink it.
  2. 02Rengu lives on the red bridge out of Mistfall.
  3. 03Take it into Final Selection and dungeon packs. Swap later if you start living in PvP.

Water, On Purpose

slayerTeaching kit
Clan
Tomioka, Urokodaki, or Sabito
Kit
Water Breathing
Weapon
Katana

The divided ranking exists because Water teaches spacing. Take it if you want to learn the game, not because a single outlet called it S.

  1. 01Budget 5,000 Wen and 30 horns.
  2. 02Swim the Bamboo Grove cave without stopping.
  3. 03Respect that duelist lists put this in C. You chose the lesson.

Ice Night Farmer

demonBest BDA
Clan
Kamado or Douma
Kit
Ice Manipulation
Weapon
Demon weapons — claws are fine until sickles

Ice is the all-rounder. Transform early, roll until Ice or Blood, wear a sun hat, farm at night if you must.

  1. 01Hit −40 reputation on Mizunoto slayers if you can fight, civilians if you cannot.
  2. 02Muzan at night → Biwa Bell → doctor + 9 lilies → drink.
  3. 03Reroll BDA toward Ice Manipulation. Keep Blood if it lands first.

Blood & Sickles

demonBoss rooms
Clan
Kamado
Kit
Blood Manipulation
Weapon
Damascus Sickles

The coordinated-clear endgame picture most demon guides converge on.

  1. 01Transform, then do not get distracted by flashy C-tier arts.
  2. 02Work the sickle line while Blood Manipulation is equipped.
  3. 03Play with people. Blood wants a target that stays put.

Need the trainers? Trainer locations. Going demon? Muzan quest.
