This guide covers everything: current status, active codes, every core mechanic explained, the full Patch 10 tier lists for contracts, fiends, hybrids, weapons, and clans, plus the beginner strategies that actually accelerate progression.
If you enjoy Roblox games with deep progression systems and constant community updates, Steal a Brainrot on Roblox is another active title in a completely different genre that’s worth knowing about, and this guide to Roblox games on Playhop covers a broader range of popular experiences across the platform right now.
What Is Devil Hunter Roblox? (For New Players)
Devil Hunter is a Chainsaw Man-inspired Roblox RPG with open-world PvP, structured PvE missions, raids, and a deep character build system. The core fantasy is building a powerful devil hunter from scratch choosing your faction and playstyle, acquiring contracts or fiend forms, upgrading your arsenal through vendors and the Black Market, and proving yourself through increasingly difficult content.
The game map is a large city with interconnected zones. You traverse it on a skateboard (press H to equip; buy from the Skateboard Shop for 7,600 Yen), fast-travel using your in-game phone, or simply run through alleyways on foot. Missions, devil hunts, Division quests, and open-world PvP encounters all run simultaneously in the same shared server.
Starting the Game: Your First Decisions
Human vs. Fiend Which Race to Pick
This is the most important early decision and the one most new players rush without understanding.
Human is the clear recommendation for beginners. Humans can form up to three simultaneous Devil Contracts the system that defines end-game power for most builds. The flexibility to stack and mix contracts, experiment with different combinations, and access the deepest progression path makes Human the strongest choice long-term. Virtually every top-tier PvP build in the current meta is built around human contract optimization.
Fiend locks you into a permanent devil form with unique fiend talents, distinct passives, and a separate stat growth path. Fiends trade contract flexibility for a more focused, specialized identity. They are mechanically simpler and potentially rewarding for players who want a single clear playstyle, but they sacrifice the depth of the contract system entirely. If you become a Fiend, you cannot use Fiend Rerolls as a Human those rerolls only work while playing as a Fiend.
Hybrid is not a starting choice it’s a late-game transformation achieved through Devil’s Heart surgery, covered in its own section below.
Choosing Your Starting Weapon at HQ
After selecting your race, head to the Headquarters armory and choose one of four starting weapons:
- Kitchen Knife — Fast, short-range, good for learning combo timing
- Gun — Ranged attacks, strong for keeping distance in PvP
- Katana — Balanced reach and speed, the most popular starting pick
- Axe — Highest single-hit damage, slowest swing speed
This decision is permanent without a full build wipe. There is no weapon-swapping mid-build. Choose based on your preferred combat approach before confirming the Katana is the safest general-purpose starting weapon if you’re unsure.
All 6 Public Safety Divisions: Which to Join
Divisions organize your early-game experience, each providing unique missions, a Division Captain, and a different starting quest. They primarily affect how you progress in the early and mid-game rather than your raw power ceiling. Switching divisions requires a full account wipe (approximately 400,000 Yen via Black Market), so consider carefully before joining.
Division 1 — Generalist frontline combat, low-barrier entry, straightforward missions. Best for complete beginners who want to focus on learning combat without complex quest requirements.
Division 2 — Technology and crafting specialization. Captain: Dr. Ayaka Mori (Floor 1, opposite Division 1). Starting quest: Obtain 5 Common Devil Flesh, interact with the crafting station, craft a weapon. Ideal for players who enjoy preparation, optimization, and having access to the crafting table early.
Division 3 — Bounty hunting and target elimination. Captain: Yurei Oda (Floor 1, beside Division 2). Starting quest: Kill a devil offering a contract, complete a bounty contract. High skill demand not recommended as a first character.
Division 4 — Mission execution and operational discipline. Captain: Kaoru Nishima (Floor 2, left side). Starting quest: Complete two missions, defeat another player. Solid mid-tier choice for players who prefer structured PvE with some PvP sprinkled in.
Division 5 — Stealth and intelligence. Covert operations, mission interception mechanics, and precise timing requirements. Advanced playstyle, better suited for second characters.
Division 6 — End-game paradise. Captain: Izan Yumei (Floor 2, end of the right hallway). Starting quest: Use a Surgery Kit and speak to Senior Devil Hunter Dorian Graves (outside HQ on the right). World events, extinction-level threats, and the deepest late-game content. The difficulty wall is real, but Division 6 is where the most rewarding content lives.

The Devil Contract System (Humans Only)
Devil Contracts are the core power system for human characters. You form pacts with specific devils to gain their abilities and passive bonuses but every contract comes with a cost: health drain, blood consumption, negative status effects, or debuffs that scale with contract strength.
You can equip up to three contracts simultaneously, but stacking too many high-tier contracts compounds their debuffs significantly. The art of human builds is finding combinations where the power payoff outweighs the combined cost.
How to acquire contracts: Hunt in Free Roam, complete missions (Cleanup, Hold the Line), or enter Devil Doors. The Black Market also carries contract items at premium prices with rotating limited stock every 15 minutes.
The Devil Contract system is somewhat parallel to the power hierarchy in anime like Demon Slayer, where characters gain unique abilities tied to a specific beast or supernatural force at a corresponding personal cost. If that thematic parallel interests you, this breakdown of Demon Slayer characters by strength and skills covers the franchise’s power scaling in detail.
How to Become a Hybrid (End-Game Transformation)
Hybrids are the strongest class in the current meta and represent the apex of late-game character development. The process:
- Complete specific hybrid unlock quests tied to the devil type you want (CSM, Bomb, and 10+ others available).
- Obtain a Devil’s Heart from the Black Market or devil drops.
- Find a teammate or NPC to perform Devil’s Heart surgery using Surgery Kits (10,000 Yen each).
- Once transformed, press L to activate your Hybrid form this is distinct from Fiend transformations.
- Hybrids can no longer use Fiend Rerolls after the Release update.
Hybrids deliver explosive short-duration power bursts with drastically boosted stats during transformation. The top-tier Hybrid picks post-Patch 10 are covered in the tier list section below.
Controls Reference (Full Keybindings)
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| M1 / Left Click | Basic attack |
| R | Critical hit |
| G | Parry / Visceral attack (execute low-HP enemies) |
| L | Hybrid transformation (activate form) |
| H | Skateboard (equip/ride) |
| N | Open in-game phone |
| M | Soul Realm progression (new in Patch 10) |
| F | Block |
| Space | Dodge / Dash |
The Parry (G key) resets opponent balance and is central to high-level combat. The current Patch 10 meta is built around anti-parry logic many top-tier moves are specifically unparryable (Flamethrower, Violent Devil abilities) or designed to bait early parries (Bomb skills). Learn to read parry windows early.
Tier Lists Patch 10
These rankings reflect post-Patch 10 balance: CSM/Bomb hybrid nerfs, Brainsplasher/Punk Hazard weapon nerfs, and ascended fiend reworks are all accounted for.
Contract Tier List (Humans)
| Tier | Contracts | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| S | Ghost Devil, Mantis, Future Devil, Snake | Top PvP/PvE; Future Devil is mandatory for competitive PvP due to unparryable grabs and i-frame loops |
| A | Fox (Head), Bat, Zombie Devil, Cursed Devil | Strong mid-game; Fox/Bat best for guard-breaking and mob-clearing |
| B | Stone Devil, Angel Devil | Niche crowd control; long startup animations make them parryable in 1v1 |
| C | Fish Devil, Tomato Devil | High risk, insufficient damage for blood/health cost |
Beginner recommendation: Future Devil, Zombie Devil, or Fox Devil all provide strong utility without brutal debuffs and hold up well into mid-game.
Fiend Tier List (Post-Patch 10)
| Tier | Fiend | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| S | Blood Fiend (Power) | Best overall high damage, crowd control, and survivability |
| S | Angel Fiend | Strong sustain, consistent pressure throughout all content phases |
| A | Bat Fiend, Fox Fiend | Reliable gap-closing and burst; excellent in PvP |
| B | Shark Fiend | Good mobility, weaker scaling in late content |
| C | Tomato Fiend, Spider Fiend | Limited utility, outclassed in endgame scenarios |
Hybrid Tier List (Post-Patch 10 CSM/Bomb Nerfed)
| Tier | Hybrid | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| S | Flamethrower Hybrid | Unparryable AoE, forces opponents to dash; premier post-nerf pick |
| S | Future Hybrid | I-frame loops, double counter setups, dominant in ranked |
| A | CSM Hybrid | Nerfed but still strong; survivability remains high |
| A | Bomb Hybrid | Post-nerf damage reduced but multi-hit bait still effective |
| B | Chainsaw Hybrid | Solid movement via Chainsaw Dash (S-tier i-frames) |
Weapon Tier List (Post-Patch 10 Ascended Reworks)
| Tier | Weapons | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| S | Sealed Fang, Sealed World, Dual Katanas | High base damage, reliable weapon skills, fastest stun-lock |
| A | Longsword, Battle Axe, Nail Sword | Balanced range/damage; Nail Sword required for Curse Devil execute stacks |
| B | Spear, Murasama | Excellent reach but narrow hitboxes; Murasama hit with slower crit in Patch 10 |
| C | Brainsplasher, Punk Hazard, Wooden Bat | Both top weapons nerfed; Wooden Bat never viable |
Patch 10 specific changes: Brainsplasher and Punk Hazard both nerfed; Murasama crit now 30 posture/hit (slower); Yamada gets a double dash crit; Double Shot hits 15 damage per hit. Ripper range reduced.
Clan Tier List
Clans provide passive stat multipliers assigned at character creation. Rarer clans have lower drop rates but dramatically stronger bonuses.
| Tier | Clans | Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| S | Makima, Kishibe, Hayakawa | 1.5x damage (Makima); blinding melee speed (Kishibe); blood-cost efficiency (Hayakawa) |
| A | Quanxi, Himeno | Best dash distance; strong mid-game support passives |
| B | Fujimoto, Sawatari | Situationally useful; decent stat spread |
| C | Common clans | Minimal stat impact; worth rerolling as soon as possible |
Build recommendation for new players: Aim for Hayakawa or Kishibe clan + Ghost or Mantis contract + S-tier weapon. Pair with Blood Fiend (if playing Fiend) or Angel Fiend for sustain.
The strongest builds pair an S-tier clan like Hayakawa or Kishibe with top contracts such as Ghost or Mantis, or an S-tier fiend like Blood Fiend, plus an S-tier weapon a setup that scales cleanly into every phase of late-game content.

Beginner Strategy: The First 3 Hours
Step 1 — Choose Human and Start Grinding Yen
Yen is earned from missions, enemy kills, and quests. Your first economic goal is accumulating enough to afford surgery kits (10,000 Yen each), Fox Devil contracts (50,000 Yen), and Black Market purchases. Run Division 1 beginner missions repeatedly to build your Yen cushion before attempting anything ambitious.
Step 2 — Prioritize Clan Rerolls Early
Your starting clan determines your passive stat multiplier for your entire run. Before investing Yen in contracts or weapons, use any Clan Reroll codes immediately and aim for S-tier clans (Makima, Kishibe, Hayakawa). A bad clan passive slows every subsequent phase of progression.
Step 3 — Learn the Parry System (G Key)
The G key parry system is the game’s highest-value skill. Landing a parry resets opponent balance and opens a visceral attack execute window. Spending 30 minutes in the training area mastering parry timing will save you more deaths than any upgrade purchase in the early game.
Step 4 — Get Your First Contract
Farm Free Roam, complete Hold the Line and Cleanup missions, and enter any Devil Door you find. Your first contract doesn’t need to be optimal Zombie Devil and Fox Devil are both excellent for learning the contract system while performing competently in fights.
Step 5 — Build Toward Division 6
No matter which Division you start in, the best late-game content lives in Division 6. Plan your progression with that endpoint in mind every mission you complete, every contract you optimize, and every Surgery Kit you save is a step toward the world events and extinction-level threats that define the true end-game experience.
The Black Market: What It Is and How to Use It
The Black Market is a secret vendor location that sells rare materials, weapons, body parts for hybrid surgery, and contract items at premium prices. Key facts:
- Stock rotates every 15 minutes check it regularly
- Items include: devil flesh, surgery kits, reset items, and rare contract materials
- Location: Accessible via in-game phone teleport or on foot (from HQ, follow the route through the City Outskirts the full walking directions with video are documented on the official Trello)
- Prices are significantly higher than regular vendors, but Black Market items can drastically accelerate progression for players with solid Yen income
Build relationships with Black Market cycles early knowing what the market sells on rotation gives you an advantage in timing major purchases for hybrid surgery and weapon upgrades.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Devil Hunter Roblox free to play? Yes, completely free. Some cosmetics and character slots cost Robux, but all gameplay content including contracts, divisions, weapons, and progression is accessible without spending anything.
Should I start as Human or Fiend? Human. Humans unlock Devil Contracts the most powerful progression system in the game and the backbone of virtually all top-tier builds. Fiends offer a simpler, more locked-in experience but lack the flexibility and ceiling that the contract system provides.
Can I change my starting weapon? No. Once you select your starting weapon at the HQ armory, it stays permanently. Switching requires a full build wipe. Commit to your choice before confirming the Katana is the most versatile starting option.
Can I change my Division? Most players report it requires a full account wipe costing approximately 400,000 Yen. Some limited Black Market options may exist verify in-game before spending.
How do I unlock Hybrid form? Complete the hybrid unlock quest for the devil type you want, obtain a Devil’s Heart (Black Market or drops), find someone to perform surgery with Surgery Kits (10,000 Yen each), and press L to transform once unlocked.
Why don’t the codes work? Codes expire quickly and are case-sensitive. Paste exactly as written rather than typing manually. You must be First Class Hunter rank for the Codes app to appear in your phone. When a new update drops, restart the game client before trying fresh codes.
Where do I find new codes? The official Devil Hunter Discord announcements channel is the fastest source. The official Roblox group wall and community Trello are the next best options.
What is the Soul Realm (M key)? The Soul Realm is a new progression layer introduced in Patch 10. Press M while in-game to access it. It provides an additional progression track separate from your main character stats full details are in the official Trello.
Is Devil Hunter good for solo players? Yes for most content. PvE missions, Division quests, and Free Roam all work well solo. Some end-game Division 6 world events and CSM/Bomb raids are substantially easier in groups, but the early and mid-game are very accessible as a solo player.
Is Devil Hunter Roblox related to Chainsaw Man? Thematically, yes the entire game is inspired by the Chainsaw Man manga and anime. The devil system, Public Safety structure, clan names, and general aesthetic are all direct references to the franchise. It is not officially licensed content.
Final Thoughts
Devil Hunter Roblox earns its place at the top of the Roblox anime game tier list through a combination that very few experiences on the platform manage: genuine mechanical depth, a build system with real long-term decisions, and consistent developer engagement that keeps the meta actively evolving. Patch 10 alone reshuffled the top weapon and hybrid rankings enough that players who last engaged months ago will find meaningful new things to optimize.
Whether you’re brand new and picking your starting weapon at HQ for the first time, or you’re a returning player assessing where your build stands in the Patch 10 meta, the systems covered in this guide give you everything you need to progress faster, reroll smarter, and survive longer in one of Roblox’s most demanding anime RPGs.
