What Is the Final Selection in Weak Legacy 2?

The Final Selection is a special raid event that serves as the definitive entrance exam for aspiring Demon Slayers in Weak Legacy 2. Taking place in the atmospheric Wisteria Forest—a location drenched in the purple hues of protective wisteria trees—this raid challenges players to survive against hordes of demons and prove their worth to join the Demon Slayer Corps.

Unlike typical quests or grinding activities in Weak Legacy 2, the Final Selection is structured as a two-phase combat trial where you must demonstrate both your ability to handle multiple enemies efficiently and your skill in taking down a powerful boss opponent. The raid’s difficulty scales appropriately for level 30 players, making it the perfect first major challenge that bridges the gap between early-game questing and mid-game boss farming.

What makes the Final Selection truly special is its role as a gateway mechanic. Completing this raid for the first time doesn’t just give you experience and currency—it fundamentally changes your character’s identity in the game world. You transform from an unnamed civilian into a ranked Demon Slayer with an official standing in the Corps, opening up new gameplay systems like the Rankings progression that tracks your demon-slaying achievements and displays your growing power to other players.

The thematic connection to the Demon Slayer anime adds an extra layer of immersion for fans of the series. Just like Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke had to survive their seven days in the demon-infested mountain, your character must prove themselves worthy of wielding a Nichirin blade and learning advanced Breathing Styles. This narrative weight makes the Final Selection feel less like a generic raid and more like a meaningful character milestone.

Final Selection Requirements

Before you can even attempt the Final Selection, you must meet two mandatory prerequisites that the game strictly enforces. Understanding these requirements is crucial because showing up unprepared will result in wasted time and potential frustration.

Level 30 Minimum Requirement

The absolute minimum level requirement for the Final Selection is Level 30. This threshold exists because the demons you’ll face—and especially the Demon Boss in Phase 2—are balanced around players who have developed basic combat competency, acquired at least one Breathing Style or basic combat technique, and have sufficient health and damage output to survive sustained combat.

However, here’s the insider truth that most guides gloss over: while level 30 is technically sufficient, level 60-70 is the community-recommended sweet spot for a smooth first clear, especially if you’re attempting the raid solo. At level 30, you’ll likely struggle significantly with the Demon Boss, who possesses 2,500 HP and can deal devastating damage with his stun-locking special move that immobilizes you while dealing 75 damage per melee attack.

I personally recommend the following level-based approach:

Level 30-49: Possible but challenging—bring friends or expect multiple attempts
Level 50-69: Comfortable difficulty for players with decent gear and a Breathing Style
Level 70+: Very manageable solo experience with smooth progression

The experience you gain from completing the Final Selection (30,000 total EXP across both phases) provides a significant boost for level 30 characters, making it an excellent investment even if you struggle initially. Additionally, if you’re planning to level mastery fast in Weak Legacy 2, completing the Final Selection opens up better farming opportunities.

Human Race Requirement

The second non-negotiable requirement is that your character must be Human. This racial restriction is both thematically appropriate (demons don’t become Demon Slayers) and mechanically enforced by the game. If you’ve already converted your character into a Demon by visiting Douma in the Snow Village, you will be completely unable to access the Final Selection raid.

This creates an important strategic consideration for new players: complete the Final Selection before converting to a Demon race. Many players make the mistake of rushing to become a Demon for the Blood Demon Arts without realizing they’re permanently locking themselves out of the Final Selection rewards and the Slayer Rank System.

Here’s the optimal progression path I recommend:

Reach level 30 as a Human
Complete the Final Selection to unlock the Slayer Rank System
Grind additional levels and progression goals
Only then consider converting to Demon if that’s your desired playstyle

The good news is that even after unlocking the Slayer Rank System as a Human, if you later choose to become a Demon, you’ll still retain access to the Rankings system—it just changes from Demon Slayer ranks to Demon ranks (like the path toward becoming an Upper Moon demon). However, you cannot unlock the Rankings system in the first place without completing the Final Selection as a Human.

For players interested in understanding all the race options in Weak Legacy 2, timing your race choice around the Final Selection is one of the most important strategic decisions you’ll make in your playthrough.

How to Find and Start the Final Selection?

Locating the Final Selection raid is straightforward once you know where to look, but first-time players often waste significant time wandering the map. Let me provide you with precise navigation instructions that’ll get you there efficiently.

Exact Location and Navigation

The Final Selection raid entrance is located at the end of the Wisteria Trail. Here’s how to reach it from the Starting Village (Main Village):

Step-by-Step Navigation:

Start at the Main Village (your spawn point as a new player)
Exit through the main village gate facing forward
Look for the Wisteria Trail path on your left side
Follow the trail marked by distinctive purple wisteria trees lining the pathway
Continue to the very end of the trail until you see the Final Selection starting point
Look for the glowing interaction marker that indicates the raid entrance

The entire journey from spawn to the Final Selection entrance takes approximately 60-90 seconds of running. The Wisteria Trail itself is impossible to miss due to its distinctive purple aesthetic—the wisteria trees create a canopy effect that bathes the entire area in a purple-tinted atmosphere that’s visually distinct from other map areas.

Important Navigation Tips:

Don’t confuse the Wisteria Trail with other paths: Several routes branch off from the Starting Village, but the Wisteria Trail is specifically on the left side and features the purple trees
The trail is linear: Unlike some exploration areas, the Wisteria Trail doesn’t have branching paths, so you can’t get lost—just keep moving forward
Watch for the purple ambient lighting: As you get closer to the Final Selection entrance, the purple glow becomes more intense
You’ll see other players: The Final Selection is a popular first raid, so you’ll likely encounter other players at the entrance, confirming you’re in the right place

For players still learning the map layout, I recommend also checking out our guide on how to dungeon farm in Weak Legacy 2, which covers other important map locations and raid access points.

Starting the Raid

Once you’ve reached the end of the Wisteria Trail and located the Final Selection entrance, initiating the raid is simple:

Approach the designated starting point (you’ll see a glowing interaction marker)
Interact with the marker by pressing the prompted key (typically ‘E’ on PC or the interact button on mobile)
Confirm you want to enter if prompted
You’ll be transported into the raid instance where Phase 1 immediately begins

Unlike some raids that require party formation or special items, the Final Selection has no additional entry barriers beyond the level and race requirements. You can enter solo or with friends, and the raid difficulty doesn’t scale based on party size—making it easier when tackled with a group.

Pro Tip for Efficient Farming: If you’re planning to run the Final Selection multiple times for money farming in Weak Legacy 2, bookmark the Wisteria Trail location and create a mental speedrun route from spawn. Experienced players can complete multiple Final Selection runs per hour by optimizing their travel time and combat efficiency.

Final Selection Phase 1: Demon Wave Walkthrough

Phase 1 of the Final Selection throws you immediately into combat against a wave of standard demons. This phase serves as both a warm-up for the boss fight and a test of your ability to handle multiple enemies efficiently.

Phase 1 Objective and Enemy Details

Objective: Defeat exactly 30 Demons

These aren’t specialized or named enemies—they’re standard demon mobs with relatively low health pools and predictable attack patterns. However, don’t underestimate them simply because they’re common enemies. At level 30, even basic demons can whittle down your health if you get surrounded or fail to manage crowd control effectively.

Enemy Characteristics:

Health: Low to moderate (typically 200-400 HP each)
Attack Pattern: Basic melee attacks with occasional special moves
Spawn Behavior: Demons spawn in groups of 3-5 at a time
Aggro Range: Moderate—they’ll chase you if you’re within visual range
Difficulty: Easy to Moderate depending on your level and gear

The 30-demon requirement might sound daunting, but with proper strategy, most players complete Phase 1 in approximately 5-7 minutes. The demons don’t spawn all at once—they appear in manageable waves, giving you breathing room (literally and figuratively) to recover stamina and position yourself between engagements.

Optimal Phase 1 Combat Strategy

After completing the Final Selection dozens of times at various levels, I’ve developed a combat approach that maximizes efficiency while minimizing damage taken:

The Area Control Method:

Position yourself near the center of the spawn area when the phase begins
Let demons come to you rather than chasing them around the map
Focus on grouping 3-4 demons together before unleashing your best area-of-effect (AOE) Breathing Style moves
Use basic combos (M1 attacks) to finish off weakened enemies while conserving Breathing energy for groups
Circle-strafe when surrounded to avoid taking hits from multiple angles simultaneously
Perfect block when possible to build stun advantages and counter-attack opportunities

Breathing Style Management:

Your Breathing Style abilities are crucial for efficient demon clearing, but managing your breathing stamina effectively is even more important. Here’s my recommended approach:

Save your strongest moves for groups of 4+ demons
Use weaker, stamina-efficient moves against 1-2 demons
Hold ‘G’ key (PC) or the breathing button (mobile) to recover stamina between demon groups
Don’t spam all abilities at once—pacing prevents you from being caught with empty stamina when a new wave spawns

Health Management:

Phase 1 should not deplete your health significantly if you’re playing carefully. However, if you find yourself below 50% health:

Create distance from demon spawns to give yourself recovery time
Use any health potions or consumables you’ve brought
Practice perfect blocks to reduce incoming damage
Consider bringing a friend if you’re consistently struggling

Phase 1 Completion Rewards

Upon defeating all 30 demons, you’ll immediately receive:

500 Yen: Useful for purchasing gear upgrades or Breathing Style abilities
5,000 EXP: Provides a solid level boost, especially valuable at lower levels

These rewards are granted instantly upon killing the 30th demon, and you’ll automatically transition to Phase 2 after a brief moment. There’s no returning to Phase 1 once you’ve cleared it—the raid progresses forward linearly.

Reward Value Analysis:

While 500 Yen and 5,000 EXP might not seem massive compared to late-game activities, they’re quite valuable for level 30-50 players who are still building their first proper build. The Yen can cover:

One Breathing Style ability purchase (early moves cost 5,000-10,000 Yen)
Basic weapon upgrades
Consumable supplies for future raids

The 5,000 EXP represents approximately 5-10% of the experience needed to level up in the 30-50 level range, making the Final Selection an efficient leveling activity when combined with its other rewards.

Final Selection Phase 2: Demon Boss Strategy

Phase 2 is where the Final Selection transforms from a straightforward demon-clearing exercise into a genuine combat challenge that tests your boss-fighting fundamentals. The Demon Boss waiting for you at the end possesses mechanics that will punish sloppy play but reward smart positioning and aggressive tactics.

Phase 2 Boss Statistics and Mechanics

Boss Overview:

Name: Demon Boss (generic title, not a named character)
Health: 2,500 HP
Attack Pattern: Mix of melee combos and special abilities
Most Dangerous Move: Stun-lock grab that immobilizes you while dealing 75 damage per hit
Difficulty: Moderate for level 50+, Hard for level 30-40

The Demon Boss’s 2,500 HP pool is substantial for early-game players but not insurmountable. What makes this boss challenging isn’t the raw health—it’s the punishing stun mechanic that can quickly drain your health bar if you don’t understand how to avoid or escape it.

The Infamous Stun-Lock Mechanic:

The boss possesses a grab attack that, when it lands, completely immobilizes your character while the boss delivers a flurry of high-damage melee strikes dealing 75 damage each. This single mechanic has caused more Final Selection failures than any other aspect of the raid. Here’s how to counter it:

Avoidance Strategies:

Watch for the grab wind-up animation: The boss telegraphs the stun grab with a distinctive motion
Dash sideways (Q key) immediately when you see the wind-up
Maintain medium distance: Too close and you’re vulnerable; too far and you can’t deal damage
Never stand directly in front of the boss for extended periods
Circle-strafe constantly to make yourself a harder target

If You Get Stunned:

Spam movement keys to break free faster
Prepare to dash away immediately upon breaking free
Use a health potion if available and you’ve taken significant damage
Create distance to recover stamina before re-engaging

For players who struggle with boss mechanics, I highly recommend reviewing our complete Weak Legacy 2 boss drops guide, which covers boss-fighting fundamentals applicable across all encounters.

Winning Boss Fight Strategy

Based on extensive testing at various levels, here’s my proven strategy for defeating the Demon Boss efficiently:

The Aggressive Circle-Strafe Method:

This approach works for all player levels and is the strategy I personally use and recommend to friends:

Start the fight by immediately closing distance and getting behind the boss
Land 3-4 M1 attacks (basic melee combo)
Dash sideways before the boss can complete their turn-around attack
Use a Breathing Style ability from the side or behind
Immediately dash again to reset position
Repeat steps 2-5 until the boss is defeated

Key Principles:

Never stop moving: Standing still means getting hit or grabbed
Prioritize positioning over damage: It’s better to land 3 safe hits than 6 hits followed by a stun grab
Breathing management: Use abilities when the boss is vulnerable (after their attack misses)
Stamina conservation: Keep enough stamina to dash away from the grab attack
Health threshold awareness: Stay above 50% health if possible—below that, play more defensively

Level-Specific Advice:

For Level 30-40 Players:

Play ultra-defensively: Focus on not dying over maximizing damage
Use hit-and-run tactics: Land 1-2 hits, dash away, repeat
Consider bringing a friend: The boss doesn’t scale with party size
Equip your best gear: Every stat point matters at this level
Be patient: The fight might take 3-4 minutes, and that’s okay

For Level 50-60 Players:

Balanced approach: Mix aggression with safety
Use full combos: Your damage output allows for complete M1 chains
Breathe between rotations: Manage stamina actively but not constantly
Watch for low health: Still respect the stun grab at this level

For Level 70+ Players:

Full aggression: The boss poses minimal threat
Use this as practice: Test combo chains and Breathing Style rotations
Speed-run mindset: Aim to defeat the boss in under 90 seconds
Help lower-level players: Bring friends through the raid to help them unlock their Slayer Rank

Phase 2 Completion Rewards

Defeating the Demon Boss immediately grants:

5,000 Yen: Substantially more than Phase 1, bringing your total raid earnings to 5,500 Yen
25,000 EXP: Significant experience boost that can provide multiple levels for early-game players

These rewards stack with Phase 1, meaning a single Final Selection completion provides 5,500 total Yen and 30,000 total EXP—making it one of the most rewarding early-game activities relative to time investment (approximately 10-15 minutes for the entire raid).

However, the real treasures come from your first-time completion bonus, which we’ll cover in the next section.

First-Time Clear Rewards and the Slayer Rank System

While the Yen and EXP from completing the Final Selection are valuable, they pale in comparison to the exclusive rewards you receive only on your very first successful completion. These one-time rewards are why the Final Selection is considered mandatory for all serious Weak Legacy 2 players.

Demon Slayer Outfit/Haori

Upon your first completion of the entire Final Selection (both phases), you receive the Demon Slayer Outfit (also called the Demon Slayer Haori), which is both a cosmetic reward and a functional gear piece.

Outfit Statistics:

Stat Boost: +200 to +300 Durability (sources vary slightly, but the boost is substantial)
Visual Appearance: Traditional Demon Slayer Corps uniform
Equipment Slot: Haori (outer clothing layer)
Rarity: Exclusive first-clear reward

This outfit is particularly valuable for several reasons:

Immediate Power Spike: The durability boost significantly increases your survivability
Visual Status Symbol: Other players can see you’re a recognized Demon Slayer
Build Foundation: The stats complement early-game progression perfectly
Free Upgrade: Unlike most gear, you don’t pay Yen—it’s a pure reward

The durability increase translates directly to additional health points, making you noticeably tankier in both PvE and PvP scenarios. For context, at level 30-50, gaining 200-300 durability is roughly equivalent to 3-5 character levels worth of natural stat growth.

Important Note: While you can acquire other Haoris throughout the game (like those from boss drops), the Demon Slayer Outfit received from Final Selection is special because it’s completely free and available the moment you complete the raid.

Slayer Rank System Unlock

The most impactful first-time reward is the unlocking of the entire Slayer Rank System, a persistent progression tracker that follows your character throughout your entire Weak Legacy 2 journey.

What Is the Slayer Rank System?

The Slayer Rank System is a secondary progression mechanic that tracks and displays your accomplishments across multiple categories:

Demons Defeated: Total demon kills across your playthrough
NPCs Defeated: Total NPC enemy kills
Bosses Defeated: Total boss victories
Raids Completed: Total raid clear count

Your accumulated statistics determine your current Rank Title, which progresses through the official Demon Slayer Corps ranking hierarchy (from Mizunoto at the bottom to Hashira at the peak). This rank is visible to other players and serves as a badge of honor showing your dedication and skill.

Slayer Rank Hierarchy (Demon Slayer Path):

Mizunoto (Initial rank upon unlocking the system)
Mizunoe
Kanoto
Kanoe
Tsuchinoto
Tsuchinoe
Hinoto
Hinoe
Kinoto
Kinoe
Hashira (Highest achievable rank)

Demon Rank Hierarchy (For Players Who Convert to Demons Later):

The ranking system adapts if you choose to become a Demon after unlocking it as a Human:

Lower Rank Demons
Mid-tier Demons
Upper Moon Demons (highest tier)

The exact number progression and requirements for advancing through ranks is based on your total kills and completed activities. Earning 1 Reputation point per NPC killed is the primary advancement method, making consistent grinding essential for rank progression.

Critical Clarification: The Slayer Rank System is purely cosmetic and does NOT provide any stat buffs or combat advantages. Your rank title displays your achievements and experience but won’t make you stronger in fights. This design ensures that rank serves as a prestige indicator without creating pay-to-win or grind-to-win imbalances.

For players interested in understanding the complete ranking system, including specific reputation requirements for each tier, I recommend consulting the official Weak Legacy 2 Wiki for detailed numerical breakdowns.

Can You Replay the Final Selection?

A question I receive constantly is whether the Final Selection can be completed multiple times, and the answer is yes, but with important limitations.

Repeatable Aspects

You can absolutely replay the Final Selection as many times as you want with no cooldown or entry restrictions beyond the basic level 30 and Human race requirements. This makes the Final Selection an excellent repeatable activity for several purposes:

Why Replay the Final Selection:

Efficient Yen farming: 5,500 Yen per 10-15 minute clear is competitive with early-game grinding
Experience farming: 30,000 EXP per run helps level characters efficiently in the 30-70 range
Mastery leveling: Repeated combat encounters help level your Breathing Style mastery
Helping friends: Assist lower-level players or new accounts through their first clear
Practice: Refine your combat skills and test new builds in a controlled environment

The combination of decent Yen, solid EXP, and relatively quick completion time makes the Final Selection one of the best early-game farming locations, especially when compared to slower grinding methods like basic NPC farming.

First-Time Only Rewards

However, the major rewards are strictly one-time-only per character:

Demon Slayer Outfit/Haori: Only received on first completion
Slayer Rank System unlock: Only unlocked on first completion
Mizunoto initial rank: Only granted on first completion

No matter how many times you replay the Final Selection, you will never receive a second Demon Slayer Outfit or unlock the Slayer Rank System again on the same character. These are permanent, account-bound unlocks that cannot be repeated.

What This Means Practically:

If you’re farming the Final Selection for Yen and EXP on repeat runs, you’ll only receive:

500 Yen from Phase 1
5,000 Yen from Phase 2
5,000 EXP from Phase 1
25,000 EXP from Phase 2
Total per run: 5,500 Yen + 30,000 EXP

This is still valuable and worth farming during the early-game phase (levels 30-100), but eventually, you’ll transition to more efficient farming methods like dedicated boss farming or dungeon runs that offer better rewards per minute invested.

Optimal Farming Window

Based on extensive efficiency testing, here’s when the Final Selection is most worth farming repeatedly:

Peak Efficiency Levels: 30-70

Excellent Yen/hour ratio
Strong EXP gains relative to level
Easy, fast clears without risk of death
Good mastery leveling opportunities

Transitional Period: 70-120

Still viable but less efficient than alternatives
Good for casual farming while doing other activities
Useful for helping lower-level friends
Mastery gains start to diminish

No Longer Optimal: 120+

Boss raids and dungeon farming significantly outperform Final Selection
EXP gains become negligible relative to level requirements
Time better spent on end-game content
Only worth doing to help new players

Advanced Tips and Pro Strategies

Now that we’ve covered the basics, let me share some advanced techniques and insider knowledge that’ll help you master the Final Selection and maximize its value.

Speed-Running Strategy

For players farming Final Selection repeatedly, minimizing clear time is crucial for maximizing Yen and EXP per hour. Here’s my optimized speed-run approach:

Pre-Raid Preparation:

Equip your strongest AOE Breathing Style: Water, Thunder, or Flame work excellently
Bring stamina-recovery items: Any consumables that restore breathing stamina
Optimize your gear: Prioritize damage over defense for faster clears
Empty inventory space: Make room for potential drops
Start from the Starting Village: Know the quickest route to the Wisteria Trail

Phase 1 Speed-Run (Target: 3-5 minutes):

Sprint immediately to the center of the spawn area
Use your strongest AOE move on the first demon group
Chain basic combos (M1 attacks) while abilities are on cooldown
Group 4-5 demons before using your next big ability
Never chase stragglers—let them come to you while you attack closer demons
Perfect block aggressively to build stun chains
Manage breathing constantly—hold ‘G’ between groups

Phase 2 Speed-Run (Target: 1-2 minutes):

Rush the boss immediately with full breathing stamina
Open with your strongest combo: Full M1 chain + strongest ability
Don’t wait for perfect positioning—aggressive damage ends fights faster
Only dash when the stun grab animation starts—otherwise keep attacking
Use abilities on cooldown without saving them
Finish with burst damage when boss is below 25% health

Complete Speed-Run Target: 5-8 minutes total

Experienced players can consistently achieve 5-8 minute clears, resulting in:

6-12 runs per hour
33,000-66,000 Yen per hour
180,000-360,000 EXP per hour

This efficiency rivals or exceeds basic NPC grinding while being significantly more engaging and less monotonous.

Group Farming Optimization

While the Final Selection is perfectly soloable, coordinated group farming dramatically increases efficiency. Here’s how to optimize team play:

Ideal Group Size: 2-3 players

Solo: Full rewards, moderate speed
2 players: 90% speed improvement, 10% efficiency loss per player
3 players: 150% speed improvement, 15% efficiency loss per player
4+ players: Diminishing returns as enemies die too quickly to efficiently distribute damage

Role Distribution:

DPS Focus (1-2 players): High-damage Breathing Styles prioritizing kill speed
AOE Specialist (1 player): Wide-area abilities for demon wave clearing
Support (optional): Player using defensive abilities or healing items

Communication Protocols:

Call out stun grab: Warn teammates when the boss winds up the grab attack
Coordinate ability usage: Don’t overlap big cooldowns—stagger them for constant damage
Share consumables: Drop healing items for teammates who are low
Rotate aggro: Take turns being the boss’s primary target to distribute damage

Efficiency Tips:

Start runs simultaneously: All players should initiate the raid at the same time
Designate a run leader: One person calls the pace and strategy
Minimize downtime: Immediately exit and re-enter for next run
Track performance: Note completion times and optimize routes

For players interested in maximizing their Weak Legacy 2 farming efficiency across all activities, our comprehensive boss drops guide provides advanced strategies applicable to group play.

Alternate Uses for the Final Selection

Beyond simple farming, the Final Selection serves several underutilized purposes that smart players exploit:

Breathing Style Testing Ground:

Safe environment: Predictable enemies allow combo practice without risk
Ability rotation testing: Perfect for learning optimal skill sequences
Damage testing: Calculate your DPS against the boss’s known HP pool
Stamina management practice: Learn efficient breathing usage without consequences

Mastery Leveling Integration:

While not the absolute fastest mastery leveling method, the Final Selection provides consistent mastery gains, especially when combined with the boss farming rotation strategy I’ve developed. Running Final Selection 2-3 times between boss farming sessions creates variety while maintaining efficiency.

New Build Testing:

Try new Breathing Styles: Test recently acquired abilities in combat
Experiment with gear combinations: See how different Haoris and accessories affect performance
Practice PvP combos: The boss’s health pool is similar to player health at mid-levels
Learn animation cancels: Master advanced techniques in a forgiving environment

Achievement Hunting:

For completionists and achievement hunters, the Final Selection provides:

Consistent demon kills: Adds to your Slayer Rank progression (30 demons per run)
Boss kill count: Increases your raid completion statistics
Reputation gains: Each run contributes to rank advancement

Common Mistakes to Avoid

After watching hundreds of players attempt the Final Selection, I’ve identified recurring mistakes that waste time or cause failures:

Mistake 1: Rushing in Undergeared

Many level 30 players attempt the Final Selection immediately upon reaching the level requirement without proper preparation. Always ensure you have:

At least one Breathing Style unlocked and leveled
A decent weapon (minimum Katana or better)
Some basic accessories equipped
Understanding of combat mechanics

Mistake 2: Chasing Demons in Phase 1

New players waste enormous amounts of time running around the arena chasing individual demons. Instead:

Position centrally and let demons come to you
Focus on groups rather than individuals
Use AOE abilities to clear multiple enemies simultaneously

Mistake 3: Spam-Using Abilities

Depleting your breathing stamina completely leaves you vulnerable and unable to escape the boss’s stun grab. Better approach:

Space out ability usage
Always maintain 20-30% stamina reserve
Hold ‘G’ to recharge between engagements

Mistake 4: Standing Still Against the Boss

The Demon Boss’s most punishing mechanic only works against stationary targets. Remember:

Constant movement is mandatory
Circle-strafing is your friend
Never stand directly in front of the boss
Dash preemptively when you see the grab wind-up

Mistake 5: Ignoring Health Management

Some players try to tank through damage instead of playing carefully. Health management tips:

Stay above 50% health whenever possible
Use consumables proactively, not reactively
Perfect block to reduce damage taken
Create distance when health is critical

Mistake 6: Giving Up After Initial Failure

The Final Selection is designed to be challenging for first-timers. If you fail:

Analyze what went wrong (usually the stun grab)
Level up 5-10 more levels and try again
Upgrade your gear and Breathing Style
Consider bringing a friend for the second attempt

Understanding the Slayer Rank Progression System

Since unlocking the Slayer Rank System is the primary reason to complete the Final Selection, let’s dive deeper into how this system works and how to efficiently progress through the ranks.

How Rankings Function?

The Rankings system in Weak Legacy 2 is a persistent progression tracker that awards you a visible rank title based on your accumulated combat achievements. Think of it as a secondary leveling system that runs parallel to your character level but focuses specifically on your demon-slaying accomplishments.

Key Mechanics:

Reputation (Rep) Points: The currency of rank advancement
Earning Rep: 1 Rep point per NPC enemy defeated
Rank Tiers: 11 distinct ranks from Mizunoto to Hashira (or demon equivalents)
Visual Display: Your current rank is visible in the game menu and to other players
No Combat Bonuses: Rankings are purely cosmetic prestige

What Counts Toward Rankings:

✅ Demon NPC kills: Standard demons, minibosses, etc.
✅ World boss defeats: Bosses like Rengoku, Zenitsu, Tokito, etc.
✅ Raid completions: Final Selection, Sun Tanjiro Raid, etc.
✅ Quest enemies: NPCs killed during quest objectives
❌ Player kills (PvP): PvP does not contribute to ranking
❌ Environmental enemies: Special event enemies may not count

The system is designed to reward consistent play over extended periods. There are no shortcuts or exploits—advancing through the ranks requires genuine time investment and dedication to clearing content.

Rank Advancement Requirements

While exact numerical thresholds for each rank tier aren’t publicly documented by the developers (they prefer players to discover progression naturally), the community has established approximate Rep requirements through extensive testing:

Estimated Rep Requirements (Community Data):

Mizunoto (Starting): 0 Rep (automatic upon Final Selection completion)
Mizunoe: ~100-200 Rep
Kanoto: ~300-500 Rep
Kanoe: ~600-900 Rep
Tsuchinoto: ~1,000-1,500 Rep
Tsuchinoe: ~1,800-2,500 Rep
Hinoto: ~3,000-4,000 Rep
Hinoe: ~5,000-7,000 Rep
Kinoto: ~8,000-10,000 Rep
Kinoe: ~12,000-15,000 Rep
Hashira: ~20,000+ Rep

These numbers are approximate and may vary slightly based on game updates. The progression is exponential—early ranks advance quickly, but reaching Hashira requires thousands of enemy kills and represents weeks or months of dedicated gameplay.

Important Note: Demon rankings follow a similar structure but with different names (Lower Moon, Upper Moon, etc.). The underlying Rep requirements remain comparable.

Fastest Ranking Progression Methods

If your goal is to advance through the Slayer Ranks as quickly as possible, here are the most efficient farming strategies:

Method 1: Boss Farming Rotation

Boss enemies provide the best Rep-per-minute ratio in the game. Create a farming rotation that hits multiple bosses consecutively:

Optimal Boss Route:

Tanjiro (Water) – Snow Biome location
Rengoku – Near Wisteria entrance
Zenitsu – Little Village entrance
Tokito – Main trail to Slayer HQ

Complete this rotation, return to the first boss (they respawn quickly), and repeat. This method can generate 50-100 Rep per hour depending on your damage output and route efficiency.

Method 2: Raid Farming

Raids like the Final Selection provide consistent Rep through their numerous enemy kills:

Final Selection: 30+ Rep per completion (30 demons + boss)
Sun Tanjiro Raid: 40+ Rep per completion
Other Raids: Variable Rep based on enemy count

Raids are less efficient than pure boss farming but offer better loot diversity and Yen/EXP rewards, making them a balanced choice.

Method 3: Efficient NPC Grinding

For players who prefer traditional grinding:

Find high-density NPC spawns: Areas with 5-10 enemies per group
Use AOE Breathing Styles: Clear groups quickly with wide-area abilities
Create a grinding route: Loop through multiple spawn locations
Minimize downtime: Keep moving and fighting constantly

This method is the slowest for pure Rep farming but works well if you’re simultaneously leveling character level or mastery.

Method 4: Dungeon Farming (Mid-to-Late Game)

Once you reach level 250+, dungeon farming becomes the absolute fastest Rep generation method:

Wave 25 completion: 100-200+ Rep depending on enemies per wave
Wave 90 completion: 400-600+ Rep (extremely time-intensive)
Group efficiency: Team farming dramatically increases Rep/hour

However, dungeons require significant preparation and skill, making them unsuitable for early-game players fresh from Final Selection.

Ranking System for Demon Players

Players who convert from Human to Demon after completing the Final Selection experience a modified ranking system:

Converting to Demon:

Visit Douma NPC in Snow Village
Pay 1,000 Yen to convert your race
Your Slayer Rank System remains unlocked (you don’t lose access)
Your rank title changes to Demon equivalent ranks

Demon Rank Hierarchy:

Lower-tier Demon ranks (equivalent to Mizunoto-Kanoe)
Mid-tier Demon ranks (equivalent to Tsuchinoto-Hinoe)
Upper Moon Demons (equivalent to Kinoto-Hashira)

The Rep requirements and progression remain identical—only the cosmetic rank titles change. This flexibility allows players to experience both race paths without permanently losing their ranking progress.

Strategic Consideration: Many experienced players recommend staying Human until reaching Hashira rank, then converting to Demon if desired. This approach allows you to experience the complete Demon Slayer rank progression before switching to the Demon path.

Relationship to Other Weak Legacy 2 Content

The Final Selection doesn’t exist in isolation—it’s intimately connected to many other progression systems and content types in Weak Legacy 2. Understanding these relationships helps you optimize your overall gameplay strategy.

Prerequisites for Advanced Content

Completing the Final Selection unlocks or facilitates access to numerous other activities:

Direct Unlocks:

Slayer Rank System: As we’ve discussed extensively, this is only accessible after Final Selection
Official Demon Slayer Status: NPCs recognize you as a Corps member
Advanced Quests: Some higher-level quests require Final Selection completion
Breathing Style Progression: Certain trainers won’t teach you without Corps membership

Indirect Benefits:

Level Boost: The 30,000 EXP accelerates your progression toward harder content
Yen Injection: 5,500 Yen helps fund Breathing Style purchases and gear upgrades
Combat Experience: Boss mechanics prepare you for other raids
Confidence Building: Successful completion proves you’re ready for intermediate content

For players looking to understand the complete progression pathway, I recommend following this optimized content sequence:

Complete Final Selection (Level 30+)
Farm Sun Breathing V1 (Level 30+ with Sun Soul drop)
Begin boss farming rotation (Level 50+)
Access dungeons (Level 250+)
Pursue Sun or Moon Breathing V2 (End-game)

Synergy with Other Early-Game Activities

The Final Selection integrates perfectly with other early-game content:

Complementary Activities:

Quest Grinding (Level 1-30): Prepares you for Final Selection
Final Selection (Level 30+): Unlocks rankings and provides Yen/EXP
Boss Farming (Level 50+): Builds on combat skills learned in Final Selection
Raid Progression (Level 70+): Natural extension of Final Selection experience

Breathing Style Connection:

Many players complete the Final Selection, use the Yen rewards to purchase their first Breathing Style abilities, then return to Final Selection to test their new powers. This creates a satisfying progression loop:

Farm Yen → Buy Abilities → Test in Final Selection → Return to farming (stronger)

Mastery Leveling Integration:

The Final Selection provides consistent mastery experience for your Breathing Style. Smart players integrate it into their mastery leveling rotation:

Boss Farm (2-3 bosses) → Final Selection (1 clear) → Boss Farm → Final Selection → Repeat

This approach maintains engagement variety while optimizing both mastery gains and Yen/EXP acquisition.

Community and Social Aspects

The Final Selection serves as a community gathering point and social activity:

Community Hub Functions:

First Major Shared Experience: Most players remember their first Final Selection
Teaching Opportunity: Experienced players help newcomers clear their first run
Skill Benchmark: Completing solo becomes a rite of passage
Friend Activity: Great content for group play with friends

The Wisteria Trail entrance often has multiple players present, creating organic opportunities for cooperation, trading information, or simply chatting about the game. Don’t hesitate to ask for help if you’re struggling—the Weak Legacy 2 community is generally friendly and supportive toward new players.

Frequently Asked Questions

What level should I be for the Final Selection in Weak Legacy 2?

The minimum level requirement is 30, but I strongly recommend being level 50-70 for your first attempt, especially if you’re playing solo. At level 30, the Demon Boss can be quite challenging due to its 2,500 HP and punishing stun-lock grab attack. Levels 50-70 provide enough durability and damage output to handle the boss comfortably while still getting substantial EXP rewards from completion.

Can Demons do the Final Selection in Weak Legacy 2?

No, the Final Selection is exclusively available to Human race characters. If you’ve already converted to a Demon by visiting Douma in the Snow Village, you cannot access the Final Selection raid. This is why I always recommend completing the Final Selection before converting to Demon—you’ll permanently lock yourself out of the unique rewards (Demon Slayer Outfit and Slayer Rank System) if you convert first.

How do I unlock the Slayer Rank System in Weak Legacy 2?

The only way to unlock the Slayer Rank System is by completing the entire Final Selection raid for the first time. This means defeating all 30 demons in Phase 1 and then defeating the Demon Boss in Phase 2. Upon your first successful completion, the Slayer Rank System automatically unlocks, granting you the Mizunoto starting rank and the ability to progress through higher ranks by defeating enemies.

What rewards do you get from the Final Selection?

The Final Selection provides multiple reward tiers:

Every Completion:

5,500 Yen total (500 from Phase 1, 5,000 from Phase 2)
30,000 EXP total (5,000 from Phase 1, 25,000 from Phase 2)

First Completion Only:

Demon Slayer Outfit/Haori (+200-300 Durability boost)
Slayer Rank System unlock
Mizunoto starting rank

The first-time rewards are significantly more valuable than the repeatable rewards, making your first clear extremely important.

Can you replay the Final Selection in Weak Legacy 2?

Yes! You can replay the Final Selection unlimited times with no cooldown period. However, the major rewards (Demon Slayer Outfit and Slayer Rank System unlock) are one-time-only per character. Repeat runs still provide 5,500 Yen and 30,000 EXP, making it a viable farming activity for levels 30-70.

Where is the Final Selection located in Weak Legacy 2?

The Final Selection is located at the end of the Wisteria Trail. To reach it from the Starting Village: exit the main gate, look left for the path lined with purple wisteria trees, follow the trail to its end, and interact with the glowing marker to enter the raid. The entire journey takes about 60-90 seconds of running.

Does the Slayer Rank give you stat buffs in Weak Legacy 2?

No, the Slayer Rank System is purely cosmetic and provides no stat buffs or combat advantages. Your rank displays your achievements and dedication but doesn’t make you stronger in fights. However, the Demon Slayer Outfit you receive from completing Final Selection does provide a durability boost (+200-300), which is separate from the ranking system itself.

What’s the recommended level for Final Selection boss?

For comfortable boss difficulty, I recommend level 60-70. At these levels, you have enough health to survive the boss’s stun-lock combo, sufficient damage to kill the boss in 2-3 minutes, and enough breathing stamina to use your abilities effectively. Level 30 players can technically defeat the boss but will struggle significantly with the mechanics.

How long does the Final Selection take to complete?

An average Final Selection clear takes 10-15 minutes total, broken down as:

Phase 1 (30 demons): 5-7 minutes
Phase 2 (Boss fight): 2-4 minutes
Transition time and prep: 1-2 minutes

Experienced players can speed-run the entire raid in 5-8 minutes, making it efficient for farming purposes.

Can you solo the Final Selection?

Absolutely! The Final Selection is designed to be soloable at the minimum level requirement (though challenging). Most players successfully complete their first clear solo at levels 50-70. The raid doesn’t scale with party size, so bringing friends makes it easier but isn’t necessary for completion.

What Breathing Style is best for Final Selection?

Any Breathing Style works for the Final Selection, but I recommend styles with strong AOE (area-of-effect) abilities for Phase 1 demon clearing. Water Breathing, Thunder Breathing, and Flame Breathing are all excellent choices because their wide-area attacks can hit multiple demons simultaneously, significantly speeding up Phase 1. For the boss fight, any style with good single-target damage will work effectively.

Do you lose your rank if you become a Demon?

No, you do not lose your rank progress when converting from Human to Demon. Your Slayer Rank System remains unlocked, but your rank titles change from Demon Slayer ranks (Mizunoto, Mizunoe, etc.) to Demon ranks (Lower Moon, Upper Moon, etc.). Your accumulated Rep and progress carry over completely—only the cosmetic rank names change.

How many Rep points does Final Selection give?

The Final Selection provides approximately 30+ Rep points per completion: roughly 1 Rep for each of the 30 demons in Phase 1, plus additional Rep for defeating the boss in Phase 2. This makes it a decent Rep farming activity for advancing through the early Slayer Ranks, though dedicated boss farming becomes more efficient at higher levels.

Conclusion

The Final Selection stands as one of the most important progression milestones in Weak Legacy 2—not just for the immediate rewards it provides, but for the long-term systems it unlocks and the skills it teaches. Whether you’re a brand new player hitting level 30 for the first time or an experienced warrior helping friends through their first clear, the Final Selection represents a pivotal moment in every Demon Slayer’s journey.

As you continue your journey beyond the Final Selection, remember that this raid taught you fundamental skills that apply to all future content: positioning during boss fights, managing breathing stamina efficiently, and understanding enemy attack patterns. These lessons will serve you well as you tackle harder raids, farm legendary weapons from world bosses, and eventually pursue end-game goals like Sun Breathing V2 or Moon Breathing mastery.
