Devil Hunter Clans Guide
Complete guide to the clan system. Master Slayer Clans, Demon Passives, and Moon Ranks to maximize your character's potential.
What Are Clans?
The Clan System is one of the most important character-building mechanics in Devil Hunter. Unlike contracts which grant active abilities, clans provide permanent passive bonuses that affect your entire gameplay experience. Think of it as your character's genetic advantage or bloodline power.

Why Do Clans Matter?
You might wonder whether clans are worth the grind. The short answer is yes, especially if you plan to compete in PvP or tackle difficult content. Here's why clans matter for your gameplay:
PvP Advantage
In player-versus-player combat, even a small stat advantage can determine the winner. Rare clans provide stat multipliers that can give you the edge in damage, speed, or survivability. High-tier Mythical clans can completely change how you approach combat.
PvE Efficiency
For farming and boss fights, certain clans significantly speed up your clear times. The Ubuyashiki clan, for example, provides bonus experience gain which helps with leveling. Other clans boost your damage against specific enemy types.
Build Foundation
Your clan choice works alongside your contracts and weapon mastery. A well-chosen clan complements your build strategy, while a poor match might leave you struggling to keep up with content difficulty.
Community Standing
Let's be honest, seeing a Mythical clan drop feels amazing. The clan system adds an element of excitement and prestige to the game. Having a rare clan is a conversation starter and can earn respect from other players.
Slayer Clans
Slayer Clans are designed for players who chose the human path. These bloodlines enhance your baseline human abilities and can significantly improve your combat effectiveness. Each clan focuses on different aspects of the Slayer experience.
Rarity Tiers
| Rarity | Drop Rate | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Common | ~95% | Minor stat boosts to Stamina, Strength, or Speed |
| Rare | ~5% | Significant buffs to Breathing styles and combat stats (1.1x-1.2x multiplier) |
| Mythical | ~0.5% | Game-changing abilities that alter combat rules (Kamado clan) |

Demon Passives
Demon Passives are the clan equivalent for players who chose the Fiend or Devil path. Unlike Slayer Clans which focus on offense, Demon Passives emphasize survival, crowd control, and passive effects that activate automatically during combat.
How Demon Passives Work
At Level 80, all Demon players automatically unlock a passive slot. You receive one passive automatically, and you can use Reset Codes to reroll for better options. The key difference from Slayer Clans is that Demon Passives are about 95% Common and 5% Rare, with Rare passives providing significantly stronger effects.
Strong Body
Common Passive
Effect
+35 Constitution boost to your base stats
Best For
Tank builds and PvE survival. The extra HP helps you survive longer in difficult content.
Sharp Claws
Common Passive
Effect
+20% damage to all attacks and inflicts Bleed on knockback
Best For
Aggressive PvP builds. The damage boost is always useful, and Bleed adds extra pressure in fights.
Poison Blood
Common Passive
Effect
All your damage has a chance to poison enemies
Best For
Attrition warfare and anti-tank builds. Poison adds steady damage over time.
Deceleration
Common Passive
Effect
Slows opponents on hit, reducing their movement speed
Best For
Chasing high-speed Slayer opponents. The slow makes kiting and catching enemies easier.
Binding Chains
Rare Passive (5% drop)
Effect
Binds enemies after 4 consecutive hits, stunning them briefly
Best For
Elite PvP and team combos. The stun creates opening for devastating follow-up attacks.
Cryokinesis
Rare Passive (5% drop)
Effect
Adds frost damage to attacks and can slow/freeze enemies
Best For
Mobility control and crowd control specialists. Freezing enemies opens up combo opportunities.
Stealth
Rare Passive (5% drop)
Effect
Grants invisibility and creates a decoy when hit
Best For
Assassination plays and tactical retreats. The decoy can confuse enemies during fights.
Moon Ranks
Moon Ranks are a competitive ranking system specifically for Devil players. As you defeat Slayers and win arena battles, you can climb the Moon hierarchy to gain powerful stat multipliers. The higher your rank, the stronger you become relative to unranked players.
Lower Moon Progression
| Rank | Requirement | Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Lower Moon 6 | Complete kill missions | 1.05x |
| Lower Moon 5 | 50+ Slayer kills | 1.1x |
| Lower Moon 4 | 100+ Slayer kills | 1.15x |
| Lower Moon 3 | 200+ Slayer kills | 1.25x |
| Lower Moon 2 | 300+ Slayer kills | 1.35x |
| Lower Moon 1 | 500+ Slayer kills, arena wins | 1.5x |
Upper Moon Progression
| Rank | Requirement | Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Upper Moon 6 | Challenge and defeat current rank holder | 1.55x |
| Upper Moon 5 | Defeat Upper Moon 6 | 1.57x |
| Upper Moon 4 | Defeat Upper Moon 5 | 1.59x |
| Upper Moon 3 | Defeat Upper Moon 4 | 1.61x |
| Upper Moon 2 | Defeat Upper Moon 3 | 1.63x |
| Upper Moon 1 | Defeat all Upper Moon rank holders | 1.65x |
Why Moon Ranks Matter
An Upper Moon 1 Demon has 65% more HP and deals 65% more damage than a rankless player. This multiplier stacks with all other bonuses, making high-ranked Demons incredibly powerful. The gap from 1.1x to 1.65x is massive and represents the difference between casually playing and being an apex predator in both PvP and PvE content.
How to Get and Reroll Clans
Unlike contracts which require specific items, clans are obtained through a spin system. Here's everything you need to know about getting your desired bloodline:
Free Spins
Some mission lines and quest chains award free spins upon completion. Check your mission board for quests that offer spins as rewards. These are limited but completely free, making them valuable for new players.
Redeem Codes
Developers periodically release codes that grant spins and other rewards. Check the official Discord server and social media for the latest codes. Active codes often provide bundles including spins, yen, and other resources.
Sample Active Codes
!code Holiday2025 - Resource Bundle!code FiendReset2025 - Fiend/Clan Reset!code MAKIMARELEASE - 2x EXP (1 Hour)!code LOVEKOREA - 15,000 YenNote: Codes expire frequently. Check the official Discord for the latest active codes.
Ore Trading
Ores are the premium currency in Devil Hunter. High-value spins and rerolls are often priced at hundreds of ores. You can farm ores through boss drops, completing difficult content, or purchasing with real money. For most players, saving ores for special events with bonus spin rates is recommended.
Rerolls Explained
If you get a clan you don't want, you can use Rerolls to try again. Rerolls can be obtained through the same methods as spins. The key strategy is to save your rerolls for when you have enough to guarantee a good outcome, rather than spending them one at a time on mediocre clans.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my clan?
Yes, you can use Rerolls to change your clan. These can be obtained through mission rewards, redeem codes, or purchased with ores. There's no permanent penalty for getting a clan you don't want - just save your rerolls and try again.
When do I unlock my Demon passive?
Demon players automatically unlock their passive slot at Level 80. You receive one passive automatically, which could be Common or Rare. To get a different passive, you'll need to use Reset Codes to reroll.
Is Kamado clan worth the grind?
Absolutely. The Kamado clan is the only reliable counter to high-regeneration Demon builds in PvP. Its burn effect suppresses Devil regeneration, giving you a massive advantage in high-level matches. If you main a Slayer and plan to compete in PvP, Kamado should be your priority target.
Do clans affect both PvP and PvE?
Yes, clan bonuses apply in all content. However, certain clans are more valuable in specific contexts. For example, Ubuyashiki's EXP bonus is primarily useful for leveling, while Kamado's burn effect shines in PvP against Regeneration builds.
How do I challenge for Upper Moon ranks?
Upper Moon ranks are obtained by challenging and defeating current rank holders in sanctioned duels. These duels are arranged through the PvP system. Be warned - Upper Moon players are extremely strong, so come prepared with your best build before attempting a challenge.
Are Common clans ever good?
Yes! While Rare and Mythical clans have better effects, some Common passives are still excellent. Strong Body (+35 Constitution) and Sharp Claws (+20% damage with Bleed) are both Common but considered A-Tier or S-Tier choices. Don't feel pressured to reroll a good Common clan just because it's not Rare.
