Devil Hunter Idle Best Builds Guide

Welcome to the new Devil Hunter Idle best builds guide, an ultimate resource for players seeking to enhance their gaming experience of the level-based action idle RPG.

With hack-and-slash gameplay involving an infinite number of opponents in every level, unlocking the boss battles requires reaching a specific point threshold in each round, which is why we have curated this best Devil Hunter Idle builds to help you tackle this challenge with ease.

To begin our discussion, let’s delve into the guns build first.

Best Guns Build – Version 1

Summon Priority

SSS Gun
Relics until average Relic upgrade success chance is at ~40-30%
SSS Melee
SSS Ring and Necklace
BiS equipment. Priority is Gun>Ring/Necklace>Melee
Obtain all other SSS equipment to gain the “Owned Effect” stats. Priority is Gun>Melee>Ring/Necklace
Relics until all Relics are at Lv. Cap

Note: SS4s can promote into a random SSS at 4/4 duplicates.

BiS Equipment

Stage/Dungeon Boss

SSS Sword “Violet”
SSS Shotgun “Judge”
SSS Ring “Snake Death’s Ring”
SSS Necklace “Dark Talisman”

Farming

SSS Sword “Soul Eater”
SSS Shotgun “Black Rose”
SSS Ring “Snake Death’s Ring”
SSS Necklace “Dark Talisman”

BiS Equipment Options

4x SSS Shooting Power +35%
4x SSS DMG dealt on boss +27%
4x SSS DEF Penetration +27
3x SSS Reload Reduction +35%
1x Filler

After unlocking and getting Lv.25 Tactical Trick

2x SSS Reload Reduction +35%
3x SSS Reduce Skill Cooldown 16%p
1x B Reduce Skill Cooldown 5%p
2x SSS DEF Penetration +27

Note 1: When it comes to dungeon bosses, DEF Penetration options have a higher damage yield over Reduce Skill Cooldown until your Tactical Trick skill is at least level 25. At higher skill levels, Reduce Skill Cooldown is always better.

Note 2: The minimum Reduce Skill Cooldown required is 53%. You can use different combinations to achieve this, example: 3xSSS + 1xB = 53% or 2xSSS + 1xSS + 1xS = 53%. It is not recommended to go higher than 53% because of extra cast animations.

Trait Points

Shooting
Gunslinger Training Lv.60
Capture Weakness Lv.100
Enhance Bullet Lv.100
Remaining points into Gunslinger Training

Best Guns Build – Version 2

Skills

Only use and equip Tactical Trick.

Note 1: You can equip Tactical Trick over other skills to remove them from the skill bar.

Note 2: You receive a 10% ATK buff for every 20 global skill levels. So it is recommended to raise all skill levels evenly early on.

Magic Cards

All we care about are the buffs we can get from the cards. Ignore damage numbers. Click on a card and you will see Chain Conditions and Occurring Buff on the right. Occurring Buff is the buff you gain when using the Card. Chain Conditions displays the Occurring Buff that is required to be active in order to cast it during a chain. The first card used ignores the Chain Conditions. Cards after the first can only be used in a chain. If the chain is broken they cannot be used.

BiS is any card with Shooting Power under Occurring Buff, followed by 3 Magic Cards with Shooting Power under both Occurring Buff and Chain Conditions.

Note 1: Shooting Power under both Occurring Buff and Chain Conditions can only be found on Light/Dark cards.

Note 2: Buffs from cards do NOT stack. Magic Cards on auto is a DPS loss as it refreshes the buff too fast. The buff is displayed as a yellow bar beneath your HP bar while the buff is active.

Note 3: When casting manually, use the next card in the chain before the bar reaches the > part of the bar. If you do it too late, the card may still be on cooldown during the next loop and break the chain. If you did it right, you can spam click the cards before they come off cooldown without having to time it correctly again.

Engravings

All points into [Core] Brand of the Execution
Personal preference on left over points.

Alchemy Traits

Eyes of Concentration lv.10 > Elixir of Attack lv.2000 > Bleeding Bullet lv.20 > Frantic Shot lv.30 > Sword of Slaughter lv.50

Note: Bleeding Bullet received a small buff in V1.29 update, but not enough to make it a priority.

Important

Do NOT use skills while farming- Set auto hunter skills to Manual

Note: Try to level all skills evenly to maximize your Attack increase- the only skill that should be above your other skills should be your buff skill like TT or Moon Slash

Magic Cards

Farm

Ideal for HIGHEST KPM is 4x Dragons Breath
Since obviously you won’t have these here is a list of good farming cards:
Homing Arrow (1-3 star)
Energy Orb (1-3 star)
Magic Missile (1-3 star)
Lightning Impact (4 star)
Demolition Aura (5 star)

Push

Essentially you want to focus on maximum amount of buff time- so try to have ur main damage type as last buff and fill as many buffs in as possible!

Demonization and Elements

Demonization Explained

It’s a HUGE Damage buff with a set cooldown (influenced by your current hunter rank)
The Damage buff amount depends on your Equipped grade- same goes for the Elements
The Duration is Influenced by your License
Free to Play/Black = 10 Sec
Gold = 12 Sec
Platinum= 15 Sec

Pro Tip: Use Demonization at the end of a Stage Boss Fight to max out your damage potential

Elements Explained:

Fire -> Wood
Wood -> Water
Water -> Fire
Light <-> Dark

Important

B rank ELEMENT is still better then S rank without Element- Simply because of Runes and the fact that the base damage Increase of Element Advantage is 30%!
