Demonfall Roblox Guide: Slayer Starter Tips for Beginners

Embarking on Your Demonfall Journey: A Slayer's First Steps

Welcome to the challenging world of Demonfall on Roblox! This guide is tailored for new players ready to embrace the path of a Slayer. Demonfall offers a rich experience, but getting started can feel overwhelming. This comprehensive Demonfall Roblox guide will walk you through the essential steps, from choosing your initial path to mastering your first breathing style and beyond, ensuring you're well-equipped for the battles ahead.

Starting Your Journey: Choosing Your Clan

Your first crucial decision in Demonfall is selecting your clan, which acts much like a "race" and provides unique passive abilities. These passives can significantly impact your early game experience, especially for leveling and combat efficiency. When you begin, you'll press "New History" and customize your character, then roll for a clan.

While many clans exist, community reports and player experience highlight Kamado as arguably the best choice for new players.

Other notable clans include:

• Tomioka: Good for water breathing users, starting with specific skills.
• Rengoku: Offers flame damage and an EXP boost, plus access to Flame Breathing.
• Iguro: Provides dash mastery and increased walk speed.
• Kanroji: Grants a 20% damage boost, excellent for combat.
• Akamatsu: A unique clan that allows you to get back up after being knocked down in PvP, offering clutch potential.

If you can't get Kamado, choose a clan that aligns with your preferred playstyle or simply pick one that seems interesting. Many clans offer minor benefits, but the EXP boost from Kamado is a standout for efficiency.

Becoming a Slayer: The Tutorial and Final Selection

After character creation, you'll face a tutorial. During this, you'll encounter a demon. To become a Slayer, you must defeat this demon. If you choose to die, you'll become a Demon, which has a different progression path not covered in this guide. For Slayers, simply right-click to block and attack to defeat the tutorial demon.

Once you've completed the tutorial, you'll be teleported to the main game. Your first objective is to speak with your uncle, who will guide you towards Hayakawa Village. In Hayakawa Village, talk to the lady inside a building. She'll direct you to various breathing trainers, but your immediate goal should be the Final Selection.

Navigating the Final Selection

The Final Selection is a critical step to officially becoming a Demon Slayer and acquiring a proper Nichirin blade. You don't need a breathing style to attempt it.

1. Travel to Okuya Village: This village is closest to the Final Selection area. You can pay 100 Yen to a travel NPC to fast-travel or follow the path.
2. Locate the Slayer Exam: From Okuya Village, follow the signs towards "Sakura Passage." This path leads directly to the Slayer Exam entrance.
3. The Exam: Speak to the NPC at the entrance to begin. You'll be tasked with killing 30 demons within a time limit.
   • Combat Tip: Demons in the Final Selection often block. If they block, either right-click to break their guard or quickly flip away and re-engage. Focus on consistent damage.
   • Avoid the Blue Demon: There's an optional, large blue demon that is extremely tanky and not worth fighting, especially at low levels. It's a time-waster and offers no unique rewards currently. If you aggro it, run away.
4. Completion: Upon defeating 30 demons, you'll complete the Final Selection and earn 30 demon horns, which are useful for certain quests.

After passing the Final Selection, you'll receive your Slayer uniform and can forge your Nichirin blade. Visit the forging NPC and spend your 20 Sun Ore to get your first blade. The color is random, but you can reroll it once for free.

Mastering Your Breathing Style

With your Nichirin blade in hand, it's time to learn a breathing style, which forms the core of your combat abilities as a Slayer.

Acquiring Your Breathing Style

Return to Hayakawa Village and speak to the lady who initially mentioned trainers. She'll point you toward different breathing trainers across the map. Each breathing style has unique skills and requirements. For example, the Wind Breathing trainer is located near Okuya Village.

To acquire a breathing style, you often need to complete a quest for the trainer. For Wind Breathing, this involves collecting 20 demon horns (which you should have from Final Selection) and then defeating the trainer in combat. These trainer fights are generally straightforward once you have your Nichirin blade.

Gourd Training for Breathing Mastery

Once you've learned a breathing style, you'll need to train it using gourds.

1. Purchase Gourds: Head to the shop where you forged your Nichirin blade. You can buy gourds there for 500 Yen each.
2. Train: Equip the gourd and activate it. A minigame will appear where you need to keep a bar in the middle section by clicking your mouse. Avoid letting it go into the red zones.
3. Leveling: Each gourd you break increases your breathing level by one. You start at level zero, and each level requires breaking a new gourd. This process can be repetitive as you'll need to farm Yen to buy more gourds.

Remember to invest your skill points strategically. Early on, putting points into Kendo and Strength (found in your body skill tree) is crucial for increasing your damage and overall combat effectiveness. Body training also grants HP, which is vital for survival.

Early Game Progression and Yen Farming

After securing your breathing style and beginning gourd training, your focus shifts to leveling up and earning Yen, the in-game currency.

• Crow Missions: Your crow companion will offer missions. These are a reliable source of EXP and Yen and are generally safer than other methods, as you won't get "flung" off the map like in some boss encounters. You can toggle your crow on/off in your settings.
• Trinket Farming: As you explore the map, keep an eye out for glowing trinkets scattered on the ground. Picking these up can provide a small amount of Yen.
• Group Boss Missions: In Hayakawa Village, speak to the girl who gave you your initial quest. She can offer a "boss dungeon" mission. This can be done with friends and provides good rewards, but be warned: community reports indicate these missions can be buggy, with bosses using attacks that might fling you out of the map, potentially causing a loss. Soloing them at low levels is also extremely difficult.
• Killing Wild Demons: Simply venturing out and defeating wild demons will also grant you experience and some Yen. This is a basic but consistent way to level up.

The early game in Demonfall is about establishing a solid foundation. By carefully choosing your clan, completing the Final Selection, and diligently training your breathing, you'll be well on your way to becoming a formidable Demon Slayer.
