I’ve spent countless hours mastering the demon progression system, and I’m here to guide you through every single step from your very first choice to unlocking your ultimate Blood Demon Art (BDA).

New Moon launched its public playtest in November 2026, and the game has already captivated millions of players with its intense combat system and authentic Demon Slayer atmosphere. As someone who’s been grinding since day one, I can tell you that becoming a Demon isn’t just about choosing evil it’s about embracing a completely unique playstyle that rewards aggression, strategy, and skill in PvP combat.

Whether you’re a complete newcomer or you’ve been struggling to unlock your BDA, this comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know. Let’s dive into the darkness!

New Moon is an immersive open-world RPG that throws you into the brutal world of demon hunters and bloodthirsty demons. The game features diverse regions to explore, intense skill-based combat, and a deep progression system where every choice matters. What sets New Moon apart from other Demon Slayer games is its commitment to balanced PvP combat and the meaningful choice between becoming a righteous Slayer or an evil Demon.

Understanding Demons vs Slayers in New Moon

Before we dive into how to become a Demon, let me break down the key differences between the two factions:

Demons:

Unlock Blood Demon Arts (BDA) – unique supernatural abilities
Progress by hunting and defeating Slayers
Rank up from basic Demon to Lower Moon and potentially Upper Moon titles
Excel in aggressive, offensive playstyles
Face challenges from Slayer organizations

Slayers:

Master Breathing Techniques with various elemental styles
Progress by eliminating Demons through missions
Climb ranks from Mizunoto to potentially Hashira status
Complete the Final Selection ritual to unlock advanced techniques
Work together in the Demon Slayer Corps

Both paths offer incredible depth, but the Demon route provides a distinctly different power fantasy that many players find irresistible.

How to Become a Demon in New Moon? (Step-by-Step Guide)

Step 1: Complete the Tutorial

When you first spawn into New Moon, you’ll immediately enter a tutorial sequence that teaches you the fundamental controls and combat mechanics. This isn’t something you can skip the game won’t let you make your faction choice until the tutorial is fully completed.

The tutorial covers:

Basic movement and navigation
Combat fundamentals (attacking, blocking, dodging)
Interaction with NPCs and objects
Understanding the game’s UI elements

Make sure to pay attention during this section because these skills form the foundation for everything you’ll do as a Demon. The tutorial typically takes 3-5 minutes to complete.

Step 2: Watch the Opening Cinematic

After completing the tutorial, you’ll be thrust into a dramatic story moment. A powerful Demon attacks, and your master courageously steps between you and certain death. An intense battle unfolds right before your eyes.

This isn’t just a cutscene it’s setting up the most important decision in your New Moon journey. Your master, despite their best efforts and incredible skill, simply cannot match the Demon’s overwhelming power. As the battle reaches its climax and your master begins to fall, the game presents you with a critical choice.

Step 3: Make Your Faction Choice

Here’s where your destiny splits into two completely different paths. When prompted, you’ll see two options:

“Run” – Choose this to become a Demon Slayer
“Stay” – Select this to become a Demon

For those seeking the dark path, you must choose “Stay”. The game will confirm your decision with dialogue stating “Becoming a Demon” before launching into a transformation cinematic sequence.

This choice is permanent for your current character. There’s no way to switch factions later, so choose wisely! If you want to experience the other path, you’ll need to create a new character.

Step 4: Complete Your Transformation

Once you’ve chosen to stay, sit back and watch your transformation unfold. The cinematic showcases your character’s metamorphosis from human to Demon, complete with visual effects that highlight your newfound dark powers.

After the cinematic ends, you’ll spawn directly into the game world as a fledgling Demon. Congratulations! You’ve officially joined the dark side. But your journey is just beginning now comes the real grind to unlock your true potential.

Understanding the Demon Progression System

As a Demon in New Moon, your primary objective is growing stronger through combat and completing objectives. Your progression is tracked through several key systems:

Demon Ranking System

Rank	Requirements	Description
Basic Demon	Default starting rank	Entry-level demon with basic abilities
Strong Demon	Significant kill count	Intermediate demon with enhanced power
Elite Demon	High Slayer kills	Advanced demon approaching Moon status
Lower Moon 1-6	Top performance	Elite tier accessible to dedicated players
Upper Moon 1-6	Top 6 on leaderboard	Legendary status for the absolute best

The ranking system in New Moon mirrors the Demon Slayer series, where Lower Moons represent powerful demons and Upper Moons represent the absolute pinnacle of demonic power. Reaching Upper Moon status requires not just skill but consistent dominance over other players.

How to Access Missions?

Missions are the backbone of demon progression in New Moon. Here’s how to queue for them:

Press M on your keyboard (or tap the menu icon on mobile)
Navigate to the Mission tab
Click to queue for a mission
Wait to be matched into a deathmatch-style PvP mission
Fight against Slayers and other Demons to rack up kills

Each mission typically lasts 5-10 minutes and drops you into an arena-style combat zone. Your performance in these missions directly impacts your progression toward unlocking your Blood Demon Art.

How to Unlock Your Blood Demon Art?

This is what every Demon player is working toward your Blood Demon Art is the game-changer that transforms you from a basic demon into a devastating force of nature. BDAs are unique supernatural abilities that define your combat style and give you powerful active and passive skills.

BDA Unlock Requirements

Requirement	Details	Tips
10 Mission Kills	Complete kills inside official PvP missions	Focus on securing final blows
10 Slayer Kills	Defeat 10 Slayer players specifically	Slayer kills count more than demon kills
Time Investment	Typically 1-2 hours of active play	Performance varies by skill level

Important Clarification: Some players have reported a requirement of 500 LO (Level/Other stat), but the developers have officially confirmed this is NOT mandatory. Focus exclusively on achieving your 10 Mission Kills and 10 Slayer Kills.

Pro Tips for Faster BDA Unlock

Target Slayers Over Demons: While both types of kills contribute to your mission completion, Slayer kills are what you actually need for the BDA unlock. Focus your attention on identifying and eliminating Slayer players during missions.

Play Aggressively Early: Don’t wait around in missions. The more fights you engage in, the faster you’ll accumulate the necessary kills. Even if you die, you’re learning enemy patterns and improving your combat skills.

Master the Basic Combat: Before grinding for your BDA, make sure you understand:

M1 (Basic Attack) combos and timing
Q (Dash) for repositioning and dodging
R (Critical Attack) for burst damage
Space + M1 (Aerial Attack) for combo extensions

Play During Peak Hours: Missions fill faster during peak play times (evenings and weekends), meaning less waiting and more fighting. Check the Discord server for community activity updates.

Troubleshooting: BDA Not Unlocking Bug

This is the most frustrating issue demons face in New Moon, but thankfully there’s a reliable fix. Sometimes, even after meeting both requirements (10 Mission Kills + 10 Slayer Kills), your Blood Demon Art simply won’t unlock. This is a known progression bug that the developers are aware of.

The Fix: Relog Your Game

Here’s the step-by-step solution that works for 99% of players:

Leave the server completely – Don’t just close the menu; actually exit the game
Close Roblox entirely (optional but recommended for stubborn cases)
Rejoin New Moon – Load back into the game
Check your progress – Your mission progress may reset visually, but your kill count is saved internally
Trigger the unlock – Once you relog, the BDA unlock trigger activates correctly

After relogging, you should see your Blood Demon Art appear on the left side of your screen. If it still doesn’t unlock after two relogs, double-check that you actually have 10 Slayer-specific kills (not just 10 total kills).

Available Blood Demon Arts in New Moon

While the specific BDA you unlock appears to be randomized or based on factors still being discovered, here are some of the Blood Demon Arts confirmed to be in New Moon:

Arrow BDA – One of the most common first unlocks, Arrow grants telekinetic abilities that let you pull enemies toward you or manipulate ranged projectiles. This BDA excels at controlling enemy positioning and is fantastic for setting up combos.

Other Confirmed BDAs:

Blood manipulation abilities
Elemental-based demon arts
Summoning-type abilities
Enhanced physical combat styles

Each BDA comes with its own progression tree. As you continue to fight and defeat enemies, you’ll unlock additional abilities and more powerful versions of your existing skills.

How to Use Your Blood Demon Art

Once unlocked, your BDA abilities are typically mapped to specific hotkeys:

E Key – Primary BDA ability
R Key – Secondary BDA ability
Additional Keys – May unlock with progression

Some BDAs use weapons or special stances that only appear when activating abilities. Don’t worry if your art doesn’t immediately show visual effects experiment with different keys and continue progressing to unlock the full moveset.

Demon Combat Guide & Advanced Strategies

Now that you understand how to become a Demon and unlock your BDA, let’s talk about actually dominating in combat.

Essential Combat Controls

Control	Action	Usage Tips
M1	Basic Attack	String together for combos
Hold M1	Delayed Attack	Catches enemies off-guard
Q	Dash	Essential for dodging and repositioning
R	Critical Attack	Use for burst damage opportunities
E	Equip/Ability	Context-dependent
Space + M1	Aerial Attack	Extends combos and applies pressure
M	Menu	Access missions and stats

Combat Strategies for Demons

Aggressive Playstyle Pays Off: Demons thrive on aggression. Unlike Slayers who might play more defensively with their breathing techniques, your BDA rewards getting in your opponent’s face and applying constant pressure.

Learn to Read Enemy Patterns: Slayers using Breathing Techniques have tells before their big moves. Watch for:

Charging animations
Breathing stance changes
Movement patterns that signal special attacks

Use the Environment: Many New Moon combat areas feature elevation changes, obstacles, and terrain features. Use these to:

Break line of sight when low on health
Force enemies into disadvantageous positions
Set up ambushes on unsuspecting Slayers

Manage Your Resources: Your BDA abilities likely use stamina or have cooldowns. Don’t blow all your abilities at once save some defensive options for when you’re under pressure.

Building Your Demon Character

As you level up and progress, you’ll earn points to allocate to five core attributes:

Strength – Increases your physical damage output. Essential for demons who want to hit hard with basic attacks.

Vitality – Boosts your maximum health pool. More health means you can take more risks and survive longer in extended fights.

Agility – Enhances your movement speed and dash effectiveness. Crucial for gap-closing and escaping bad situations.

Capacity – Affects your stamina pool for abilities and dodging. Never underestimate the value of more mobility options.

Willpower – Influences your BDA effectiveness and potentially reduces cooldowns or costs. Great for BDA-focused builds.

Recommended Early Build for Demons:

40% Strength
30% Vitality
20% Agility
10% Capacity

This balanced approach gives you good damage, survivability, and mobility while you’re still learning the game. As you master your specific BDA, you can respec (available in the shop for Robux) to optimize for your playstyle.

Mission Types & Farming Strategies

Understanding the different mission scenarios helps you farm kills more efficiently:

Standard Deathmatch Missions

These are straightforward elimination missions where you spawn in an arena with multiple other players (both Demons and Slayers). The goal is simple: get as many kills as possible before the timer runs out.

Strategy:

Prioritize low-health targets for secure kills
Watch for third-party opportunities when two players are fighting
Use environmental cover to heal between engagements
Track Slayer players specifically for your BDA progress

Tips for Consistent Mission Performance

Stay Mobile: Standing still makes you an easy target. Keep moving between fights to avoid being caught off-guard by ranged attacks or ambushes.

Track Your Kill Count: After each mission, check your progress toward the 10/10 requirements. This helps you understand how much more grinding you need.

Don’t Rage Quit: Even if you’re getting destroyed in a particular mission, stick it out. You’re still gaining experience and learning enemy patterns. Plus, every death teaches you something about what not to do.

Form Strategic Alliances: While officially everyone in the mission is a potential enemy, sometimes temporary alliances with other Demons can help you take down particularly skilled Slayers. Just be ready for betrayal!

Common Mistakes New Demons Make

After watching countless new players struggle, here are the biggest mistakes to avoid:

Mistake #1: Choosing Demon Without Understanding the PvP Focus
New Moon is heavily PvP-oriented right now. If you’re not comfortable with player-versus-player combat, the Demon path might be frustrating early on. Make sure you’re okay with dying while learning.

Mistake #2: Not Completing the Tutorial
Some players try to rush through or skip parts of the tutorial. This causes major issues when trying to unlock your faction choice. Always complete the full tutorial sequence.

Mistake #3: Expecting Instant BDA Unlock
The 1-2 hour timeframe for BDA unlock assumes consistent performance. If you’re new to the combat system, it might take 3-4 hours or more. Be patient and focus on improving your skills rather than just grinding kills.

Mistake #4: Ignoring Attribute Stats
Many new demons don’t allocate their attribute points effectively. Visit your stats menu (press Tab) regularly and invest those points! Even a small stat advantage can turn a close fight in your favor.

Mistake #5: Playing Solo All the Time
While you can’t formally team up in missions yet, playing with friends and communicating via Discord can help you learn faster and make the grind more enjoyable. Find a community!

Mistake #6: Forgetting to Relog After Meeting Requirements
This is the #1 reason players think the BDA system is broken. If you’ve hit 10 Mission Kills and 10 Slayer Kills but don’t see your BDA, remember to relog! The bug fix is simple once you know about it.

Demon vs Slayer: Which Should You Choose?

Still on the fence about becoming a Demon? Here’s my honest take:

Choose Demon if:

You enjoy aggressive, offensive playstyles
PvP combat excites you more than PvE content
You want unique supernatural abilities (BDAs)
The villain fantasy appeals to you
You don’t mind a competitive grind

Choose Slayer if:

You prefer defensive, technical combat
You want more structured progression (Final Selection, rankings)
Breathing Techniques sound more appealing than BDAs
You enjoy the hero fantasy
You want to experience the game’s story elements from the protagonist perspective

Both paths are viable and fun it really comes down to personal preference. Many players end up creating alt accounts to experience both factions.

FAQ

How long does it take to unlock Blood Demon Art?

Typically 1-2 hours of active gameplay for experienced players who understand the combat system. New players should expect 2-4 hours as you learn enemy patterns and improve your PvP skills. Your actual time will vary based on how efficiently you secure kills in missions.

Can I change from Demon to Slayer later?

No, your faction choice is permanent for that character. If you want to experience the Slayer path, you’ll need to create a new character and choose “Run” during the opening sequence instead of “Stay.”

What if my BDA doesn’t unlock after getting 10 kills?

This is a known bug. The solution is simple: completely exit the game and rejoin New Moon. After relogging, the BDA unlock trigger should activate correctly. If it still doesn’t work after 2-3 relogs, verify that you have 10 Slayer kills specifically (not just any 10 kills).

Is there a “best” Blood Demon Art?

Different BDAs suit different playstyles. Some excel at range, others at close quarters. Arrow BDA is commonly received as a first unlock and is great for learning, but no single BDA dominates the meta. Experiment to find what matches your combat style.

Do I need to be Level 500 to unlock BDA?

No! This is a persistent myth. The developers have officially confirmed that you only need 10 Mission Kills and 10 Slayer Kills. The 500 LO requirement is not accurate. Don’t waste time grinding levels focus on completing missions and getting kills.

Can demons learn Breathing Techniques?

No, Demons and Slayers have completely separate ability systems. Demons get Blood Demon Arts, while Slayers learn Breathing Techniques. The only exception might be Hybrid classes if they’re added in future updates.

How do I start missions as a Demon?

Press M to open your menu, click the Mission tab, and queue for an available mission. You’ll be automatically matched into a PvP deathmatch. Make sure you’ve completed the tutorial first, or the mission system won’t be available.

Are some Demons better than others for PvP?

All demons start with the same base capabilities the difference comes from which BDA you unlock and how you build your attributes. Player skill matters far more than any inherent demon advantage. Focus on mastering combat fundamentals.

Can I play New Moon on mobile?

Yes! New Moon is available on PC, mobile, tablet, and console platforms. The controls are adapted for each platform, though PC players generally have an easier time with precise combat inputs.

Will there be codes for New Moon?

The developers have indicated that a codes system is planned for future updates, but as of March 2026, there are no active New Moon codes. Keep checking the Discord and bookmark this complete list of working Roblox codes for when they become available.

Final Thoughts

Becoming a Demon in New Moon Roblox is one of the most rewarding experiences in anime-inspired Roblox games right now. The combination of meaningful choice, skill-based PvP combat, and the satisfying grind to unlock your Blood Demon Art creates an addictive gameplay loop that keeps players coming back.

Yes, the road to unlocking your BDA requires dedication you’ll die, you’ll lose fights, and you’ll occasionally encounter bugs. But when you finally unleash your Blood Demon Art for the first time and feel that surge of power, all the grinding becomes worth it.

My biggest advice? Don’t rush the process. Enjoy learning the combat system, experiment with different strategies, and engage with the amazing New Moon community on Discord. The game is still in its early stages, and being part of the community during these formative months means you’ll help shape what New Moon becomes.

Whether you’re hunting Slayers for sport, climbing toward Upper Moon status, or just enjoying the dark fantasy of being a powerful demon, New Moon offers something special. The developers clearly love the Demon Slayer series, and it shows in every aspect of the game’s design.

Now get out there, choose to “Stay,” and show those Slayers what true demonic power looks like. See you in the missions!
