Welcome to the most comprehensive and up-to-date Devil Hunter Fiend Skills Tier List for March 2026. If you’ve been grinding the latest Phase 1 update, you know that the meta has shifted significantly. With new devils entering the fray and old favorites getting nerfed or buffed, knowing which skills to invest your spins and resources into is more critical than ever.

In this guide, I have analyzed the top performing builds, tested damage outputs in both PvE and PvP scenarios, and consulted the community consensus to bring you a definitive ranking. Whether you are looking to dominate the leaderboards or just want to breeze through story mode, this tier list will help you choose the best abilities for your playstyle.

Quick Summary: Top Picks for Phase 1

Before we dive into the detailed breakdown, here is a quick look at the absolute best skills currently available in the game.

Skill Name	Tier	Best Use Case	Rarity
Blood Fiend	S	AoE DPS & Control	Mythic
Chainsaw Man	S	Burst Damage & PvP	Legendary
Darkness	S	Tanking & Survival	Legendary
Flame Breathing	A+	consistent Farming	Rare
Gun Devil	A	Long Range PvP	Mythic

Table: The cream of the crop in the current Phase 1 meta.

Understanding the Tier Criteria

To ensure this tier list is as helpful as possible, I’ve categorized skills based on several key factors. It’s not just about raw damage numbers; a skill might have high DPS but be so clunky to use that it lands in a lower tier.

Here is how I ranked the skills:

Damage Output: Both single-target burst damage and Area of Effect (AoE) capabilities.
Utility & Control: Stuns, slows, mobility, and self-healing.
Ease of Use: How difficult is the skill to master? Is it beginner-friendly?
PvP Viability: Performance against other players in the arena.
PvE Efficiency: Speed at clearing dungeons, bosses, and farming mobs.

Now, let’s get into the rankings.

S-Tier: The Meta Definers

These are the skills that define the current Phase 1 meta. If you manage to pull one of these, you should absolutely build your character around it. They offer the best combination of damage, utility, and scalability.

1. Blood Fiend (Mythic)

The Blood Fiend skill is arguably the strongest addition in the recent updates. It excels in almost every category.

Why it’s S-Tier: The kit revolves around high area-of-effect damage and life steal. The ultimate ability allows you to manipulate blood spikes across the map, hitting enemies from a distance while healing yourself for a percentage of the damage dealt. In PvE, this makes you nearly unkillable. In PvP, the range is often unexpected, catching opponents off guard.
Best For: Players who want a balance of aggression and sustainability.

2. Chainsaw Man (Legendary)

No tier list for this game would be complete without the titular Chainsaw Man skill. It remains a top contender for pure damage.

Why it’s S-Tier: This skill is a monster in close-quarters combat. The “Chainsaw Pull” move is excellent for gap-closing, dragging enemies right into your kill zone. The damage per second (DPS) on its basic combo is unrivaled by most other legendary skills. Post-Phase 1 updates slightly reduced its hitbox size, but the damage buff compensates for it.
Best For: Aggressive players who love rushing down enemies in PvP.

3. Darkness (Legendary)

Darkness is the premier choice for those who prefer a tankier, more strategic playstyle.

Why it’s S-Tier: This skill provides absurd crowd control. The “Shadow Prison” move can stun groups of enemies for seconds, giving you time to set up heavy attacks or escape. Additionally, the passive defense boost makes you significantly harder to kill, allowing you to outlast opponents in prolonged fights.
Best For: Frontline players and team strategists.

4. Spider (Rare to Epic)

Surprisingly, the Spider skill has climbed into the S-tier due to recent buffs.

Why it’s S-Tier: Mobility is king in Devil Hunter Fiend, and Spider offers the best movement kit in the game. You can traverse the map instantly, making it perfect for boss fights where you need to dodge complex attack patterns. The web-spawning mechanics also deal decent damage over time (DoT).
Best For: Boss farmers and players who value speed over raw power.

A-Tier: Strong Contenders

Skills in the A-Tier are excellent and viable for end-game content. While they might lack the sheer overwhelming power of S-Tier skills or require more skill to use effectively, they are still top-tier choices that will serve you well.

1. Gun Devil (Mythic)

The Gun Devil brings the pain from long range, but it suffers in specific situations.

Analysis: The damage output is phenomenal, capable of deleting health bars from across the map. However, it lacks mobility options. If an enemy gets close, a Gun Devil user is often in trouble. It requires precise aim and good positioning.
Verdict: A top-tier PvP skill if you have good aim, but average for PvE grinding.

2. Flame Breathing (Rare)

Flame Breathing is the standard for reliable damage, especially for Free-to-Play (F2P) players or those unlucky with spins.

Analysis: It has short cooldowns and good hitboxes. The moves are visually distinct, making it easy to track your animations. While it doesn’t have the flashy ultimates of Mythic skills, its consistency is its strength.
Verdict: The best “starter” skill that remains viable into the late game.

3. Fox (Rare)

Fox focuses on speed and critical hits.

Analysis: Similar to Spider but with more emphasis on single-target damage rather than traversal. The “Fox Dash” is a great engagement tool. It falls short of S-Tier because it lacks a reliable ultimate move for crowd clearing.
Verdict: Great for single-target boss damage but weaker in mob clearing scenarios.

4. Bomb (Epic)

Bomb offers explosive Area of Effect (AoE) damage but is risky to use.

Analysis: The explosions deal massive damage, but some abilities cause self-damage if you are too close to the blast radius. This high-risk, high-reward mechanic keeps it out of the S-Tier.
Verdict: Fun and destructive, but requires practice to master without killing yourself.

B-Tier: Situational Picks

B-Tier skills are average. They aren’t bad, but they are generally outclassed by A and S-tier options. You can use them if you like the aesthetic, but don’t expect to top the leaderboards easily.

1. Water Breathing

A defensive style that focuses on counter-attacks.

Pros: Good defensive buffs.
Cons: Low damage output compared to Flame or Blood. Very slow pacing.

2. Sword

The basic sword skill.

Pros: Reliable and familiar.
Cons: No special effects or elemental advantages. You will struggle against elemental users in the late game.

3. Claw

A melee brawler style.

Pros: Fast attack speed.
Cons: Very short range. You have to be practically touching the enemy to hit them, which is dangerous in boss fights.

C and D-Tier: Avoid or Upgrade

These skills are generally considered weak or require way too much effort for minimal reward. If you end up with these, I recommend saving your spins for a reroll or grinding to exchange them.

C-Tier: Thunder, Stone

Thunder: Has potential for speed but the damage is negligible.
Stone: Too slow. In a game where mobility is key, being a slow rock is a death sentence.

D-Tier: Knife, Bat

Knife/Bat: These are essentially starter weapons with slight buffs. They offer no unique movesets or ultimates. Avoid using these past the tutorial level.

PvP vs PvE: How the Meta Shifts?

It is important to note that a skill ranked high in PvE might not be as good in PvP. The mechanics of fighting a boss differ vastly from fighting a smart player. Here is how I would adjust your selection based on the game mode.

Best Skills for PvP

In the Arena, mobility and burst damage are king.

Chainsaw Man: The ability to grab and stun opponents is unbeatable.
Blood Fiend: The ranged attacks keep aggressive melee players at bay.
Gun Devil: If you can keep your distance, you can chip away at health bars safely.

Best Skills for PvE

For dungeons and grinding, AoE clear speed and sustain matter most.

Darkness: The stun locks help you clear waves of mobs without taking damage.
Spider: You can move between packs of enemies instantly.
Flame Breathing: Low mana cost and consistent damage make for a non-stop farming experience.

Pro Tips for Maximizing Skill Potential

Having the best skill is only half the battle. Knowing how to build your character around that skill is what separates the noobs from the pros. Here are some advanced tips to get the most out of your tier list placement.

1. Stat Distribution

Don’t just dump everything into one stat.

For Sword/Claw users: Focus on Strength and Speed. You need to be fast to hit enemies, and your damage scales with Strength.
For Gun/Bomb users: Focus on Dexterity. This increases your projectile damage and accuracy.
For Magic/Blood/Darkness users: Focus on Magic and Spirit. Magic increases your skill damage, while Spirit increases your mana pool for more frequent skill usage.

2. Skill Combos

Learn to chain your skills. Most skills have a “combo extender” move.

Example Combo: Start with Spider to close the gap, use a Stun move from Darkness, and then finish with a heavy hitting Blood Fiend ultimate.
Animation Canceling: This is an advanced technique where you perform an action (like rolling or blocking) right at the end of an attack animation to cut the recovery time short. Mastering this with Chainsaw Man or Sword skills will drastically increase your DPS.

3. Accessory Synergy

Equip accessories that boost your specific skill type.

If you are using Flame Breathing, wear the “Inferno Cape” if available (usually boosts fire damage by 10-15%).
For Gun Devil, use items that increase projectile speed or reload time.

How to Reroll Skills?

If you aren’t happy with your current placement on this tier list, you might want to reroll. Here is the process:

Acquire Spins: You can get spins by using codes (check the section below), completing daily quests, or purchasing them with Robux.
Go to the Menu: Click on the “Skills” or “Edit” button in your HUD.
Select Reroll: There is usually a “Randomize” or “Reroll” button next to your equipped skill.
Confirm: This will consume one spin and give you a new random skill based on the rarity drop rates.

Pro Tip: Wait for a “2x Chance” event before using your spins. Developers often host these events on weekends or during update milestones, increasing your chances of pulling an S-Tier Mythic skill.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the rarest skill in Devil Hunter Fiend?

Currently, the Blood Fiend and Gun Devil are tied for the highest rarity (Mythic). However, the developers sometimes add limited-time “Admin” or “Prime” skills that are even rarer but usually not available to the regular player base.

Which skill is best for beginners?

I highly recommend Flame Breathing or Water Breathing for beginners. They are straightforward, have decent damage, and teach you the fundamentals of the game’s combat system without requiring complex combos.

How do I get the Prime skill?

Prime skills are typically only obtainable during special events or by purchasing them with Robux during a limited window. They are usually significantly stronger than regular skills but are often rebalanced in later updates to keep the game fair.

Is the Chainsaw Man skill worth grinding for?

Absolutely. Even after recent nerfs to its hitbox, the Chainsaw Man skill remains one of the most fun and powerful skills in the game. It excels in both PvE farming and PvP arenas.

Why did my skill drop in rank?

Game updates, like Phase 1, often bring “balance changes.” Developers may nerf (weaken) a skill that is too overpowered or buff (strengthen) a weak one. This tier list reflects the current state of the game post-Phase 1 update, so a skill that was S-Tier last month might be A-Tier now.

Conclusion

The Devil Hunter Fiend meta is always evolving, but as of March 2026, the Blood Fiend and Chainsaw Man skills sit comfortably at the top of the food chain. However, the best skill is ultimately the one that suits your playstyle.

If you prefer rushing enemies down, go for Chainsaw. If you like tactical zoning and blood magic, Blood Fiend is your best bet. Use this tier list as a guide, but don’t be afraid to experiment with A-Tier skills like Darkness or Flame Breathing—you might find a hidden gem that works perfectly for you.
