Weak Legacy 2 Blood Demon Arts Tier List (March 2026)
In Weak Legacy 2, choosing the right Blood Demon Art (BDA) is absolutely crucial for your success as a demon. Your BDA defines your entire playstyle, damage output, and effectiveness in both PVE and PVP combat. After extensive testing across all game modes and consulting with top players, I’ve created this definitive tier list to help you make the best choice for your playstyle.
S-Tier: The Ultimate Demon Powers
These BDAs represent the pinnacle of demon power in Weak Legacy 2. If you want to dominate both PVE and PVP, these are your best options.
Cryokinesis
PVE Rating: S
PVP Rating: S
Key Strengths: Massive AoE, long range, high damage, easy to use, strong combo potential
Cryokinesis stands alone as the most well-rounded and powerful BDA in Weak Legacy 2. This ice-based demon art excels in every scenario imaginable, making it the perfect choice for both beginners and veterans alike.
In PVE, Cryokinesis absolutely shreds through hordes of NPCs and bosses with its wide-area attacks. The Frozen Lotus ability is particularly devastating, serving as an unblockable setup move that chains perfectly into other abilities like Cold White Princess for massive damage output.
What makes Cryokinesis truly special in PVP is its incredible versatility. You get amazing mobility with Lotus Vines for closing distances and initiating combos, while the spammable low-cooldown moves keep constant pressure on opponents. The combination of high damage, crowd control, and mobility makes it nearly impossible for opponents to escape once you’ve locked them down.
Trainer Location: Winter Village
Requirements: Level 15, 10,000 Yen
Pro Tips:
- Always start combos with Frozen Lotus since it’s unblockable
- Use Lotus Vines to close gaps quickly in PVP
- Save Cold White Princess for finishing opponents when they’re low on health
Emotion Manifestation
PVE Rating: S
PVP Rating: A
Key Strengths: Enormous AoE, powerful combos, consistent performance
Emotion Manifestation is a PVE powerhouse that dominates farming and mission clearing with its incredible area-of-effect attacks. While it takes some time to get rolling (really shines at 85+ mastery), once you unlock its full potential, you’ll be clearing entire rooms of enemies with ease.
The emotional-based attacks create devastating combos that can lock down multiple enemies simultaneously. Countless Striking Trees provides excellent poke damage, while Wind Blasts serves as a powerful finisher that can eliminate weakened groups of enemies.
In PVP, Emotion Manifestation is still very strong but requires more skill to use effectively compared to Cryokinesis. The slower attack animations can be dodged by skilled players, but when you land your combos, the damage output is absolutely devastating.
Trainer Location: Winter Village (Hantengu)
Requirements: Level 15, 10,000 Yen
Pro Tips:
- Focus on reaching 85+ mastery to unlock the best abilities
- Use M1 combos into any ability for maximum damage
- Pair with Ascetic Blaze fighting style for deadly mix-ups
Obi
PVE Rating: S
PVP Rating: A
Key Strengths: High damage, excellent AoE, effective crowd control
Obi manipulation provides the perfect balance of raw power and control, making it one of the top-tier choices for serious demon players. The cloth-based attacks deal significant damage to both single targets and groups, while the crowd control capabilities can lock down enemies effectively.
What truly sets Obi apart is its ultimate ability, Pulverizing Obi, which covers a massive area and can wipe out entire groups of enemies in PVE. The mobility options are also excellent, allowing you to reposition quickly and maintain pressure on opponents.
In PVP, Obi Assault serves as a fantastic combo starter that can catch opponents off guard. While it lacks some of the mobility options of S-tier PVP specialists, its consistent damage output and area control make it a formidable choice in the right hands.
Trainer Location: Winter Village
Requirements: Level 15, 10,000 Yen
Pro Tips:
- Use Obi Assault to start combos in PVP
- Save Pulverizing Obi for groups of enemies in PVE
- Maintain medium distance for optimal effectiveness
String
PVE Rating: S
PVP Rating: A
Key Strengths: High damage, wide AoE, useful hook ability in PVP
String is another top-tier BDA that offers incredible damage output and area control. The string-based attacks can shred through multiple enemies simultaneously, making it one of the best choices for efficient PVE farming and boss clearing.
What makes String particularly special in PVP is its unique hook ability, which is a complete game-changer. You can pull enemies into your attacks for easy combos or pull them away from safety, creating countless opportunities for devastating follow-up attacks.
The two massive AoE damage moves, String Field and Arena of Strings, serve as excellent finishers in both PVE and PVP scenarios. While String may not have the highest single-target DPS in the game, its flexibility and utility make it one of the most well-rounded BDAs available.
Trainer Location: Winter Village (Rui)
Requirements: Level 15, 10,000 Yen
Pro Tips:
- Use the hook ability to control positioning in PVP
- String Slash is a guardbreak that can only be perfectly blocked
- Combine String Field and Arena of Strings for maximum area damage
A-Tier: Strong Competitive Choices
These BDAs are excellent choices that can compete with S-tier options in the right hands. They often excel in specific situations or playstyles.
Arrow Manipulation
PVE Rating: A
PVP Rating: S
Key Strengths: High-damage ranged attacks, exceptional single-target focus
If you prefer to fight from a distance, Arrow Manipulation is undoubtedly your best choice. This BDA shines in PVP, where its fast, high-damage projectiles can pick off opponents from safety while maintaining pressure from range.
Arrow Plunge serves as an incredibly powerful combo starter, allowing you to pull enemies from a decent range into your attack range. Arrow Pull and Down provide excellent mix-up potential, with Arrow Down being particularly difficult to block or dodge due to its instant-hit nature.
While Arrow Manipulation remains a strong choice for PVE, especially for targeting priority enemies, it truly dominates in PVP scenarios where ranged combat and precise aiming give you a significant advantage over melee-focused opponents.
Trainer Location: Winter Village
Requirements: Level 15, 10,000 Yen
Pro Tips:
- Practice your aim as all skills require decent precision
- Use Arrow Plunge to start combos from range
- Arrow Down is nearly impossible to dodge when used correctly
Destructive Death
PVE Rating: A
PVP Rating: S
Key Strengths: High mobility, massive damage, excellent gap-closer
Destructive Death is a PVP specialist that excels in close-quarters combat. Its incredible mobility and burst damage make it a nightmare for enemy players who prefer to keep their distance.
The air jump ability provides exceptional mobility, allowing you to quickly close gaps or escape pressure situations in PVP. Many of Destructive Death’s moves are unblockable and must be parried, giving you a significant advantage against opponents who rely heavily on blocking.
While Destructive Death is still very effective in PVE scenarios, it truly shines in PVP where its mobility and burst damage can quickly eliminate unsuspecting opponents. The Air Type skill does require specific timing to use effectively, but once mastered, it becomes one of the most deadly BDAs in the game.
Trainer Location: Winter Village (Akaza)
Requirements: Level 15, 10,000 Yen
Pro Tips:
- Master the timing for Air Type skill for maximum effectiveness
- Use the air jump to surprise opponents from unexpected angles
- Focus on unblockable moves to pressure blocking opponents
Hisobi Temari
PVE Rating: A
PVP Rating: A
Key Strengths: Easy to use, good AoE, great range, excellent for kiting
Hisobi Temari is perhaps the most user-friendly BDA in the A-tier, making it an excellent choice for players who want a reliable and straightforward demon art. The temari (ball)-based attacks offer a balanced kit with solid AoE and range, making it effective in both PVE and PVP.
What makes Hisobi Temari particularly effective is its excellent kiting potential. You can maintain a safe distance from enemies while consistently dealing damage, making it perfect for players who prefer a more defensive playstyle.
The skills are relatively easy to learn and master, with most having good range and AoE. While the moves can be blocked more easily than some other BDAs, the consistency and ease of use make it a solid choice for players of all skill levels.
Trainer Location: Winter Village
Requirements: Level 15, 10,000 Yen
Pro Tips:
- Maintain distance and kite enemies for maximum effectiveness
- Use the wide AoE moves to control space in PVP
- Focus on landing consistent hits rather than complex combos
Dark Thunder V2
PVE Rating: B
PVP Rating: S
Key Strengths: Excellent mobility, unpredictable attack patterns in PVP
Dark Thunder V2 is a PVP monster that excels due to its incredible mobility and unpredictable attack patterns. The lightning-based moves can confuse and outmaneuver opponents, making it extremely difficult for them to predict your next move.
The mobility options are unparalleled, allowing you to zip around the battlefield and strike from unexpected angles. Heat Lightning and Lightning Ball are two of the most powerful skills in the BDA, capable of dealing massive damage to both single targets and groups.
While Dark Thunder V2’s PVE application is more limited due to its focus on mobility over raw damage, it remains one of the top choices for PVP enthusiasts who value speed and unpredictability.
Trainer Location: Winter Village
Requirements: Level 400, 1,000,000 Yen, 200 Mastery Dark Thunder, 1 Crystal Essence
Pro Tips:
- Use mobility to confuse opponents and strike from unexpected angles
- Heat Lightning is excellent for long-range harassment
- Lightning Ball devastating at close range
B-Tier: Solid but Situational Choices
These BDAs are decent options that can be effective in specific situations but generally lack the versatility or raw power of higher-tier choices.
Sickle (Blood Manipulation)
PVE Rating: B
PVP Rating: B
Key Strengths: Strong melee attacks, effective close-range combat
Sickle, also known as Blood Manipulation, is a melee-oriented BDA that can be effective in the right hands but requires significant skill to use effectively. The sickle-based attacks deal good damage and have effective AoE swings, making it decent for PVE brawling.
In PVP, Sickle can be potent but requires you to get dangerously close to opponents who may have more ranged options. The lack of long-range skills combined with middling damage and long cooldowns makes it less effective than higher-tier choices.
However, if you master the combo potential (M1s into Flying Sickles, uppercut into Rampant Rampage), Sickle can be surprisingly effective in close-quarters combat.
Trainer Location: Winter Village (Gyutaro)
Requirements: Level 15, 10,000 Yen
Pro Tips:
- Focus on mastering melee combos for maximum effectiveness
- Be aggressive and close distances quickly
- Avoid ranged opponents when possible
Exploding Blood
PVE Rating: B
PVP Rating: B
Key Strengths: Decent melee damage, fair mobility, good against ranged opponents
Exploding Blood is an average BDA that struggles to find a clear role in the current meta. While it has some mobility and close-range power, it doesn’t excel in any particular area compared to A or S-tier choices.
The explosion-based attacks have large hitboxes, making them easier to land on enemies, but the damage output is merely average. In PVE, Exploding Blood can be effective for farming due to its AoE capabilities, but it falls behind more specialized options.
In PVP, Exploding Blood has limited combo stun capabilities, making it less effective than higher-tier BDAs for competitive play. However, it can be surprisingly effective against opponents who prefer to stay at range.
Trainer Location: Winter Village (Nezuko)
Requirements: Level 15, 10,000 Yen
Pro Tips:
- Use large hitboxes to catch opponents off guard
- Focus on AoE attacks for PVE farming
- Exploit the mobility options to close distances
Dream Manipulation (Dream Enmu)
PVE Rating: B
PVP Rating: B
Key Strengths: Decent combo potential, good utility in 1v1 situations
Dream Manipulation is a niche pick that can be somewhat effective in specific situations but is generally outclassed by higher-tier abilities. The dream-based attacks have decent combo potential and utility, making it solid for PVP duels.
However, Dream Manipulation has very little AoE in its kit, making it fairly ineffective for PVE farming and leveling. The damage output is also mediocre compared to higher-tier choices, limiting its effectiveness in competitive play.
While Dream Manipulation can be fun to use and has some unique mechanics, it’s generally not recommended for serious play unless you’re specifically looking for a challenge or want to try something different.
Trainer Location: Winter Village
Requirements: Level 15, 10,000 Yen
Pro Tips:
- Focus on 1v1 situations where it performs best
- Use utility moves to control the battlefield
- Avoid large group fights in PVE
D-Tier: Avoid These Choices
These BDAs are currently the weakest options in Weak Legacy 2 and should generally be avoided unless you’re specifically looking for a challenge.
Speed
PVE Rating: D
PVP Rating: D
Key Strengths: None of significance
Speed is currently the weakest BDA in Weak Legacy 2 by a significant margin. It offers low damage across all skills and provides negligible effects, giving no real competitive advantage in either PVE or PVP scenarios.
The speed-based moves fail to stagger enemies consistently and deal minimal damage even when they do land. In PVP, Speed is completely outclassed by every other BDA, lacking both the damage output and utility needed to compete effectively.
In PVE, Speed is equally ineffective, making farming and boss fights unnecessarily difficult and time-consuming. Unless you’re specifically looking for an extra challenge or want to experience every BDA in the game, Speed should be avoided entirely.
Trainer Location: Winter Village (Reaper)
Requirements: Level 15, 10,000 Yen
Pro Tips:
- Consider switching to a different BDA as soon as possible
- If you must use Speed, focus on mobility and hit-and-run tactics
- Pair with strong fighting styles to compensate for the weak BDA

PVP vs PVE: Understanding the Differences
One crucial aspect of choosing the right BDA is understanding how they perform differently in PVP versus PVE scenarios:
PVE Considerations
In PVE content (farming NPCs, completing missions, fighting bosses), the most important factors are:
- AoE Damage: The ability to hit multiple enemies simultaneously
- Sustained DPS: Consistent damage output over time
- Resource Efficiency: Minimal cooldowns and breath usage
- Survivability: Abilities that help you stay alive during extended fights
Best PVE BDAs: Cryokinesis, Emotion Manifestation, String, Obi
PVP Considerations
In PVP combat, the priorities shift dramatically:
- Burst Damage: High damage in short time windows
- Mobility: Ability to close gaps and evade attacks
- Combo Potential: Skills that chain together effectively
- Unblockable Moves: Abilities that can’t be blocked normally
Best PVP BDAs: Cryokinesis, Arrow Manipulation, Destructive Death, Dark Thunder V2
Advanced Strategies and 2026 Pro Tips
Maximizing Your BDA’s Potential
- Master Your Combos: Every BDA has optimal combo sequences. Practice these extensively in training areas before taking them into serious combat.
- Understand Matchups: Learn which BDAs counter yours and adjust your playstyle accordingly. For example, ranged BDAs like Arrow Manipulation struggle against highly mobile opponents like Dark Thunder V2.
- Manage Resources: Keep an eye on your breath meter and ability cooldowns. Running out of breath at the wrong moment can be fatal.
- Positioning Matters: Different BDAs excel at different ranges. Stay in your optimal range and force opponents to fight on your terms.
Clan Synergies
Certain clans provide bonuses that synergize well with specific BDAs:
- For Cryokinesis: Consider clans that boost damage or ice-based abilities
- For Arrow Manipulation: Clans that enhance ranged attacks are ideal
- For Destructive Death: Clans that boost melee damage and mobility work well
Always check the current clan meta as these bonuses can significantly impact your BDA’s effectiveness.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the single best Blood Demon Art in Weak Legacy 2?

Which BDA is best for PVP?
For pure PVP dominance, Arrow Manipulation (for ranged combat) and Destructive Death (for close-range burst) are top-tier choices. Cryokinesis is also an S-tier option for PVP due to its control, damage, and versatility.
