Slayers 2 Builds
Build decisions organized by your goal — with every recommendation's assumptions stated.
These are launch-window direction guides, not a promise of permanent meta. Every build states its assumption, uses only verified mechanics and community-confirmed standings, and is version-sensitive.

How to read these builds
- Every row assumes the moveset and clan are both unlocked (quests + grinding).
- Skill point allocation should favour the matching branch of the skill tree.
- Usable with the right weapon: Scythe / Umbrella for demon DPS builds on the weapons page.
Standings come from launch-window tier coverage (Destructoid / community). Balance patches will change these recommendations — treat as a direction, not a fact.
