Equipment & Armor Items

Equipment in Slayerbound is your foundation for survival and combat effectiveness. The right gear can mean the difference between dominating demons and getting sent back to the spawn point. Let me break down every equipment piece you need to know about.

Starter & Apprentice Gear

When you first begin your Slayerbound journey, you’ll want to focus on these early-game options that provide balanced stats for beginners:

Apprentice Clothing – +30 HP, +20 Stamina, +15% Breath Speed This is your go-to starter armor that gives you everything you need to begin training. The breath speed bonus is particularly valuable for new players learning breathing techniques.

Apprentice Mask – +28 HP & Stamina A solid accessory that provides balanced stats without breaking the bank. Perfect for complementing the Apprentice Clothing set.

Fire Dance Clothing – +30 HP, +20 Stamina An alternative starter option with similar stats to Apprentice gear. Choose based on your aesthetic preference since the stats are nearly identical.

Slayer Set – Cosmetic milestone item after becoming an official slayer While this doesn’t provide combat stats, it’s a status symbol that shows you’ve completed the Final Selection. Wear it proudly to let others know you’re a certified demon slayer!

Advanced Armor & Haoris

Once you’ve progressed beyond the beginner stage, these advanced armor pieces will significantly boost your combat capabilities:

Flame Haori – +45 Vitality, +10 Stamina, 5% Damage Reduction Perfect for Flame breathing users, though the stats work well for any build. The damage reduction makes it excellent for tanky builds.

Thunder Haori – +45 Vitality, +10 Stamina, 5% Damage Reduction Ideal for Thunder breathing specialists. The vitality boost helps you survive longer while dishing out lightning-fast attacks.

Water Haori – +45 Vitality, +10 Stamina, 5% Damage Reduction Great defensive option for Water breathing users. The stamina boost helps maintain longer combat sessions.

Leader’s Haori – +35 Vitality, +20 Stamina A unique option that trades some vitality for extra stamina. Perfect for players who rely heavily on breathing techniques and need that extra stamina pool.

Wind Set – +45 Vitality, +10 Stamina, 5% Damage Reduction The go-to choice for Wind breathing practitioners. The balanced stats make it versatile for various playstyles.

Headgear & Accessories

Don’t underestimate these smaller items – they provide crucial stat boosts that can make or break your build:

King’s Hat – +15 HP, +30 Stamina This is arguably the best headgear for stamina-focused builds. The 30 stamina boost is massive and can sustain longer breathing technique chains.

Blacksmith Hat – +10 Stamina A budget-friendly option for players just starting out. Good temporary choice until you can afford better headgear.

Traditional Hat / Dark Hat – +10 HP & Stamina Balanced stats make these solid mid-game options. Choose based on your preferred aesthetic.

Black Hood / White Hood – +10 HP Minimal stat boost but better than nothing. Use these if you’re saving Yen for bigger purchases.

Headbands (Black/Red/White) – +5 HP Entry-level headgear for brand new players. Every little bit helps when you’re just starting!

Advanced Accessories

These accessories provide the most significant stat boosts and are essential for optimized builds:

Infernium Chains – +30 HP, 10% Damage Reduction, +1 M2 Damage This is one of the best accessories in the game, providing HP, damage reduction, and increased damage. A must-have for serious players.

Sound’s Eyepatch – +25 HP & Stamina A well-rounded accessory that provides substantial boosts to both HP and stamina. Great for balanced builds.

Blue Collar – +20% Stamina Regen, +20 Stamina Perfect for builds that rely heavily on breathing techniques. The stamina regeneration bonus keeps you in the fight longer.

Giga Collar – +15 HP & Stamina A solid mid-game accessory that provides balanced stats. Good transition piece before obtaining Infernium Chains.

Iron Arm – +25 HP Simple but effective HP boost. Use this if you need more survivability but don’t have access to better accessories.

Weapons & Combat Tools

Your choice of weapon determines your combat style and available abilities. Here’s everything you need to know about Slayerbound’s arsenal:

Primary Weapons

Katana – Required to use breathing style moves (costs 200 Yen, useless for demons) This is THE essential weapon for all slayers. Without a katana, you can’t use breathing techniques, making this your first priority purchase. The 200 Yen cost is well worth it for the combat options it unlocks.

Wind Katana – Visual item only Don’t confuse this with the regular Katana – this is purely cosmetic. It looks cool but doesn’t provide any combat benefits. Purchase only if you want the aesthetic.

Sickles – Demon weapon, useless for slayers If you’re going the demon route, these are your primary weapons. Slayers should avoid these as they’re incompatible with breathing styles.

Ranged Weapons

Carbine – 6 bullets, 4 damage each A decent ranged option for players who prefer keeping their distance. The damage per bullet isn’t amazing, but the 6-bullet capacity gives you good sustained damage.

Sawed Off – 1 bullet, 24 damage High damage, low capacity. This is your burst damage option – perfect for surprise attacks or finishing off weakened enemies from a safe distance.

Gathering Tools

These tools aren’t for combat, but they’re essential for resource collection and progression:

Axe – Cuts wood Required for wood-gathering quests and crafting recipes that need wood materials. Keep one in your inventory if you plan to do resource quests.

Pickaxe – Mines minerals (sold in Riverside and Seaside) Essential for mining quests and obtaining valuable materials. Available in multiple locations, so you shouldn’t have trouble finding one.

Pitchfork – Farming-related tool Used for agricultural quests and farming-related activities. Not as commonly needed as the axe or pickaxe, but keep one handy if you’re doing farming quests.

Consumables & Progression Items

Consumables are your key to rapid progression and sustained combat. Use these strategically to maximize your training efficiency:

Healing & Hunger Management

Bandages – +20 HP & Stamina Your primary healing item for emergency situations. Keep these stocked for tough boss fights or when you’re low on health during training sessions.

Bread – +4% Hunger (costs 10 Yen) Budget-friendly food option. While the hunger restoration is modest, the low cost makes it accessible for early-game players.

Ramen – +10% Hunger (costs 35 Yen) Premium food option with double the hunger restoration of bread. Worth the extra cost if you need quick hunger recovery during extended play sessions.

Mastery & Training Boosters

These consumables are essential for rapid skill progression:

Gourd – +10 Breathing XP Entry-level training booster. Use these when you’re just starting with a new breathing style to accelerate your learning curve.

Medium Gourd – +20 Mastery XP Mid-tier training booster that provides double the XP of regular gourds. Perfect for intermediate players working on advanced techniques.

Big Gourd – +40 Breathing XP The ultimate training booster with massive XP gains. I recommend saving these for when you’re close to mastering a breathing style to maximize efficiency.

Special Transformation Items

Demon Blood – Turns you into an Oni or rerolls your blood art (costs 1,000 Yen) This is a game-changing item that allows you to switch between Slayer and Demon paths. The 1,000 Yen cost is steep, but the transformation options it provides are invaluable for players wanting to experiment with different builds.

Message – Quest delivery item Required for specific quest lines. Keep these in your inventory when doing delivery quests to avoid having to make multiple trips.

Candy – Crafted from eggs and wheat A specialty consumable that provides unique benefits. The crafting requirements make it a bit harder to obtain, but the effects are worth the effort.

Material Items

Materials are the lifeblood of crafting and progression in Slayerbound. Here’s how to obtain and use every material:

Crafting Materials

Egg – Used to craft candy Essential for candy crafting. Collect these during your adventures to maintain a steady supply of candy consumables.

Wheat – Crafting ingredient Used in various crafting recipes, including candy. Keep a stockpile for when you need to craft consumables.

Wood – Common quest material Frequently required for beginner and intermediate quests. Use your axe to gather these efficiently.

Iron Ore – Mining material Essential for advanced crafting recipes. Use your pickaxe in mining areas to collect these valuable materials.

Metal Scrap – Crafting material Used in various equipment upgrades and crafting recipes. Keep an eye out for these during your adventures.

Oni Horn – Dropped by demons Critical progression material – you’ll need 40 of these for Flame training progression. Farm Oni enemies regularly to maintain a good supply.

Giga Horn – Required for Wind Style Boss drop from the Giga Horn boss at Demon Camp. This is essential for Wind breathing progression, so prioritize this boss fight when you’re ready to advance your Wind training.

Valuable Sellables

These materials don’t have crafting uses but provide excellent Yen when sold:

Diamond – Worth 300 Yen The most valuable common material. Always pick these up when you find them – they’re worth more than most other materials combined.

Sun Ore – Worth 35 Yen Good mid-tier value material. Collect these during mining expeditions for steady Yen income.

Gold Cup / Gold Cup 2 – Worth 25 Yen Decent value items that are relatively common. Good for supplemental Yen income.

Gold Pot – Worth 15 Yen Lower value but still worth collecting if you have inventory space.

Gold Ring – Worth 20 Yen Consistent value item that’s fairly common. Good for steady Yen farming.

Silver Cup / Silver Cup 2 (bugged) – Worth 20 Yen Note that these have a bug, but they’re still worth the standard 20 Yen. Collect them regardless of the bug.

Silver Pot – Worth 15 Yen Similar to Gold Pot – lower value but worth collecting if you have space.

Silver Ring – Worth 20 Yen Consistent with Gold Ring in value. Collect all rings you find for steady income.

Pro Tips & Advanced Strategies

After hundreds of hours playing Slayerbound, I’ve discovered some advanced strategies that most players miss:

Resource Management Mastery

Smart Inventory Organization I recommend keeping your inventory organized by category: combat items in the first row, gathering tools in the second, and materials in the third. This saves precious time during combat and questing.

Economic Efficiency Always sell valuable materials when you’re near capacity, but hold onto progression-critical materials like Oni Horns and Giga Horns. The 300 Yen from Diamond sales can fund your training sessions, but you can’t progress without those horns.

Training Optimization

Gourd Timing Strategy Use Big Gourds right before training sessions to maximize XP gains. The 40 Breathing XP bonus is most effective when combined with intensive training periods.

Balanced Stat Building Don’t focus exclusively on one stat. A balanced build with good HP, stamina, and damage reduction will serve you better than a glass cannon build, especially for boss fights.

Combat Essentials

Accessory Synergy Combine Infernium Chains with a haori for maximum damage reduction. The 10% from Infernium Chains plus 5% from your haori gives you 15% damage reduction – a significant boost to survivability.

Weapon Switching Keep both a Katana and a ranged weapon for different situations. Use the Katana for breathing techniques and close combat, switch to ranged weapons when you need to maintain distance.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

I see new players making these mistakes constantly – avoid them to save time and Yen:

Wasting Yen on Useless Items Don’t buy cosmetic items like the Wind Katana when you’re still building your core equipment. Focus on functional gear first.

Poor Resource Prioritization Don’t sell progression materials like Oni Horns for quick Yen. The long-term progression benefits far outweigh the short-term Yen gain.

Inefficient Training Don’t use training boosters randomly. Plan your training sessions and use gourds right before intensive training periods to maximize XP gains.

Ignoring Damage Reduction Many players focus only on HP and stamina but ignore damage reduction. A character with 15% damage reduction takes significantly less damage over time than a character with slightly more HP.

FAQ’s

How do I get the best equipment in Slayerbound?

The best equipment comes from combining high-tier haoris (Flame/Water/Thunder) with premium accessories like Infernium Chains. Focus on progression through breathing training to unlock better equipment options.

What’s the fastest way to farm Yen?

The most efficient Yen farming method is selling valuable materials like Diamonds (300 Yen each) combined with smart resource gathering. Use codes for bonus Yen and focus on high-value material collection.

How many Oni Horns do I need for Flame training?

You need exactly 40 Oni Horns for Flame training progression. Farm Oni enemies regularly and keep these in your inventory until you’re ready to advance.

Where can I find Giga Horns?

Giga Horns are dropped by the Giga Horn boss at Demon Camp. This is a challenging boss fight, so come prepared with good equipment and healing items.

What’s the best accessory for combat?

Infernium Chains is the best all-around combat accessory, providing +30 HP, 10% damage reduction, and +1 M2 damage. It’s expensive but worth the investment for serious players.

Should I focus on HP or stamina?

Balance is key. A good rule of thumb is to maintain roughly equal HP and stamina, with slightly more emphasis on the stat your breathing style uses most frequently.

How do I unlock advanced equipment?

Advanced equipment like haoris becomes available as you progress through breathing training and complete major milestones like the Final Selection.

What materials should I never sell?

Never sell progression-critical materials like Oni Horns, Giga Horns, or materials required for your current training path. These are often harder to obtain than their Yen value suggests.

How often should I use training gourds?

Use training gourds right before intensive training sessions. The Big Gourd’s 40 Breathing XP bonus is most effective when combined with focused training periods.

What’s the best early-game equipment setup?

Start with Apprentice Clothing and Mask, purchase a Katana immediately, and focus on gathering materials while working toward your first haori.
