📍 Progression Roadmap (First Week)

Day 1-2: Foundation

BEGINNER
  • Complete tutorial, redeem codes
  • Get Fox Devil contract (Chinatown Shrine)
  • Farm Stone Devil → unlock Stone Skin talent
  • Buy starter weapons with code Yen
  • Join Division 5 (best for beginners)
  • Reach Fear Level 5-10

Day 3-4: Expansion

GROWING
  • Add 2nd contract: Leech Devil (sustain) or Frog Devil (combos)
  • Farm Zombie Raid for Borrowed Life talent
  • Save Yen for Contract Dealer rolls (3K each)
  • Learn dodge timing (essential skill)
  • Complete Division missions for rewards
  • Fear Level 10-20

Day 5-7: Optimization

ADVANCED
  • Start farming for Future Devil (HQ Floor 0) or save Yen for dealer
  • Fill 3 contract slots with synergistic choices
  • Decide path: Stay Human, become Fiend, or save for Hybrid
  • If Fiend: Farm 4-5 S/A-tier talents
  • Join Discord, find raid groups
  • Fear Level 20+

⚠️ Common Beginner Mistakes to Avoid

❌ DON'T DO THIS

  • Waste Yen on random items - Save for Contract Dealer or specific weapons
  • Pick Hybrid too early - Surgery is permanent, make sure you get S-tier
  • Ignore codes - 275K Yen is HUGE early game advantage
  • Farm wrong devils - Check tier lists, don't waste time on C-tier talents
  • Solo difficult raids - Use Discord to find groups
  • Spread stats thin - Focus on 2-3 stats max

✓ DO THIS INSTEAD

  • Use Yen wisely - 91 rolls at Contract Dealer = ~30% chance S-tier
  • Stay Human first - Learn mechanics before committing to path
  • Codes on day 1 - Massive head start on progression
  • Target S-tier - Stone Skin, Ghost Walk, Future Devil priority
  • Join groups - Raids are faster and safer with team
  • Specialize builds - PvP build vs PvE build, not mixed

⚔️ PvP Mastery Guide

🎯 Core PvP Skills (Master These First)

1. Perfect Dodge Timing

Why Essential: Triggers Ghost Walk, avoids combos, creates counter opportunities

Practice: Fight Stone Devils repeatedly to learn timing windows

2. Combo Management

Why Essential: Maximize damage, prevent escapes, maintain pressure

Learn: Contract animations, stun durations, follow-up options

3. Prediction Reading

Why Essential: Counter opponent patterns, bait mistakes

Study: Common combos, approach patterns, defensive habits

4. Resource Management

Why Essential: Contract cooldowns, health, positioning

Track: Cooldown timers, HP thresholds, escape routes

💡 Advanced PvP Techniques

Ghost Grab → Invisible Setup

Use Ghost Devil while invisible = opponents can't see grab coming. Guaranteed hit.

Mantis Wall Phase

Use Mantis near walls to clip through geometry. Escape combo or surprise attack.

Future Devil Bait

Fake attack telegraph to make opponent dodge early, then punish with real attack.

Contract Rotation

Use contracts in sequence: Grab → Stun → Damage finisher. Optimal combo chain.

HP Threshold Tactics

Save Hybrid transformation for critical moments (below 30% HP or guaranteed kill).

🔀 How to Counter META Builds

vs Future + Ghost + Violence

Strategy: Maintain distance, bait Ghost Devil usage, punish Violence end-lag

  • Stay mobile - don't let them corner you
  • Dodge when they go for grab
  • Attack during Violence animation recovery
  • Use range advantage if you have it

vs Katana Hybrid Users

Strategy: Survive transformation, poke during downtime

  • Disengage when they transform
  • Wait out transformation duration
  • Aggressive when transformation ends
  • Don't trade hits during hybrid form

🏆 Advanced Optimization

💰 Yen Farming

Best Yen/Hour Methods

  1. Zombie Raid Loop - 30 min cooldown, 10K+ per run
  2. Division Missions - Guaranteed Yen rewards
  3. Devil Bounties - High-value targets
  4. Server Hop Farming - Fresh spawns = no waiting

Optimal Build: Violence + Fox (AoE clear speed)

👹 Fiend Part Farming

⚡ Quick Tips & Tricks

Server Hopping

Join new servers to bypass devil respawn timers and raid cooldowns

Clan Membership

Join Yakuza clan (20 hearts) to access Snake Devil contracts and exclusive areas

Black Market

Save Yen - Black Market items are overpriced. Only buy if desperate

Discord Groups

Join official Discord to find raid parties, track drop rates, and get update alerts

Respec Wisely

Use Eraser Devil from codes carefully - respeccing is rare/expensive

Night Farming

Bat Devil spawns night only (6 PM - 6 AM) - set alarm for rare spawns

Contract Favor

Dying reduces devil favor - stay alive to maintain contract power

Fear Leveling

Kill higher-level devils for better Fear XP. Don't farm grey mobs
