Slayers 2 Demon Art Tier List (October 2026)

Shockwave and Ice Manipulation are the best demon arts in Slayers 2 right now, with Shockwave ahead in PvP and Ice ahead in group PvE. Every other art has a clear job, and a few are worth rerolling as soon as you can.

This tier list ranks all nine demon arts (also called Blood Demon Arts or Evil Arts) in Slayers 2, the Roblox game from Ouw Productions. We checked guides and fan wikis dated September 19 to October 17, 2026, and the game was on the V0.25 update according to an October 11 guide. The studio does not publish formal patch notes on the game page, so balance can shift without warning. Rankings are our own, built from those sources. We did not test the arts in game. You need spins to roll, so grab free ones from our Slayers 2 codes page.

Slayers 2 demon art tier list

Every demon art, moves and verdict

Several guides treat Pyrokinesis and Explosive Blood as the same art under two names, so we have listed them together. No source we read publishes a rarity label or per-art roll chance for any art, so we have left those out rather than guess.

S tier: Shockwave and Ice Manipulation

Shockwave is the PvP pick. Its Z move is a projectile with a strict stun, barrages can be steered after they connect, and its counter breaks hyper armor moves. A slam with tap and hold versions rounds out the kit. Guides also credit it with strong boss barrage and area damage, so it holds up in dungeons.

Ice Manipulation (called Cryokinesis on some lists) is the best crowd control art. It has wide area coverage, a Freeze that controls enemy movement, a strong grab and a frame-one counter. Its area range suits dungeons. One guide says V0.25 gave it 20% more damage against NPCs and bosses across its whole kit. The catch is that it rewards controlling space, so fast melee players may prefer something else.

A tier: strong, with a job

Blood Manipulation is the best PvE art on one October 5 list (S in PvE, A in PvP). Balance changes cut V damage by 35%, removed V's strict stun and removed the final-hit guard break on X, so it is no longer dominant. It needs a Sickle to use, and sources say Blood Sickles drop from bosses (one wiki quotes a 7% drop chance).

Reaper has fast skills and many barrages. It is built for PvP combos, and in groups its barrage can hold a boss in place. Solo it is weaker, and one guide notes current balance notes may classify it as a Fighting Style rather than a demon art.

Pyrokinesis is the most disputed art on the list (see below). Its high-damage tornado can nuke bosses if you land it, and one guide reports V0.25 added 75% more PvE damage to Fiery Slash. In PvP its moves can be blocked and dashed out of.

B and C tier: pick for the playstyle

Dream Manipulation is stun and grab based, which makes it a strong PvP combo art but a weaker PvE one. Its Flesh Monster transformation helps solo play.

Arrow Manipulation got Hyper Armor, more speed and better tracking for PvP. It has no area damage for dungeons. One fan wiki says Arrow Flight deals 35% more PvE damage since V0.182, and an October 11 guide says V0.25 also nerfed some Arrow PvP tools.

Obi Manipulation received damage, guard break and utility buffs, so its trap and guard-pressure kit works best against players. It is a technical art that needs practice, and most lists call it weak in PvE.

Tamari Manipulation is mostly single-hit projectiles plus a large rain attack that helps in dungeons. It is easier on mobile and controller thanks to aim assist and auto lock. Most guides say reroll it unless you are on a Susamaru party build.

How to get a demon art

• Become a demon first. Your Reputation must reach -40, then Muzan invites you to a meeting.
• Ring the Bell he gives you to enter the Infinity Castle and ask for power. The roll is random and replaces your current art.
• Orbs from chests and bosses can also grant an art, followed by a training quest.
• Spins and resets come from codes. Our Slayers 2 codes page lists the current ones, including Evil Art resets.
• Official updates and announcements live on the Slayers 2 Roblox page.

Where community tier lists disagree

The lists we read do not agree, and several were written before V0.25.

• Top of the list: Two lists (September 22 and October 12) put Ice and Shockwave in S. An October 11 list written after V0.25 puts Pyrokinesis, Shockwave and Obi Manipulation in S, with Cryokinesis leading A.
• Blood Manipulation: S in PvE on an October 5 list, A on two others, B on an October 17 list.
• Pyrokinesis: B on three lists, top art on the October 11 list written after V0.25.
• Obi Manipulation: C or B on most lists, S on the October 11 list.

We rank by how reliable an art is in both modes, so we side with the lists that keep Shockwave and Ice on top. Pyrokinesis sits in A because the V0.25 buffs are PvE only. If you mostly farm bosses, move it up.
