Mastery, Demon Progress and reputation
Your level is not the only number that grows. Each power and each weapon type has its own mastery bar, and mastery is what opens your next move. Demons also fill a Demon Progress bar with souls, and everyone carries a reputation that goes up or down with every kill.
Two bars at the bottom right
Next to the hotbar sit two bars: one for your power (a breathing style, blood art or fighting style) and one for the weapon in your hand. Every katana shares a single Sword Mastery bar; axes and maces, tantos and sickles each get their own. There is no fishing bar: fishing progress comes as titles instead.
Each level asks for 30 times its own number: level 17 needs 510, level 64 needs 1,920.
A Mizunoto kill: +61 Exp +27 Wen +90 Water and +108 Sword Mastery -9 Reputation. Bottom right, the two bars: Sword Mastery Lv 64 1831 / 1920 and Water Mastery Lv 61 285 / 1830.
| Bar | Level | Needs |
|---|---|---|
| Wind Mastery | 17 | 510 |
| Water Mastery | 61 | 1,830 |
| Sword Mastery | 64 | 1,920 |
| Sickles Mastery | 114 | 3,420 |
| A demon's bar | 126 | 3,780 |
Which move needs which mastery
| Key | Mastery | Skill points | Also |
|---|---|---|---|
| Z | none | 3 | Open once training is done |
| X | 14 | 6 | |
| C | 27 | 9 | |
| V | 40 | 12 | |
| B | 53 | 15 | Also the scroll its Hashira drops |
These numbers come from the Stone, Insect and Wind trees; each step is 13 more mastery. A move stays struck through with REQUIREMENTS NOT MET until all of them are true. So when a friend has a move you lack, check the three things in turn: the mastery on that power’s bar, your spare skill points, and for the ultimate, the scroll from its boss. Which boss drops which scroll is on the bosses page, and the trees themselves are on each breathing style page.
Blood art and weapon trees may use different numbers.
Purifying Claws: Skill Points 6, Mastery 14, REQUIREMENTS NOT MET. The bank shows 12 SKILL POINTS, so mastery is what is missing.
How far to your next move
Type the level and the first number on the bar you want to raise. From a fresh bar, mastery 53 is 41,340 points: about 77 Gyorei kills without a boost.
To reach mastery 53
41,340 points
About 77 kills at 540 each. Each level asks for 30 times its number, so the last levels cost the most.
What each kill pays
Every kill toast lists mastery next to Exp and Wen, marked with a small red box. One kill feeds both bars. Sometimes the toast gives one number for both, sometimes a number each: the split ones seen so far fit Master Swordsman, which adds 20% to the weapon bar, and the clans with a 25% version would split too. Which method fills a bar fastest, level-225 hunts included, is on the mastery farming page.
| Kill | Playing as | Mastery in the toast | Reputation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gyorei (Hashira) | Demon | +540 Blood Manipulation and Sickles Mastery | -120 |
| Mizunoto | Slayer | +90 Water and +108 Sword Mastery | -9 |
| Mizunoto | Demon | +41 Sickles Mastery | -9 |
| Thunder Trainee | Demon | +108 Blood Manipulation Mastery | – |
| Hoyuzo Subordinate | Slayer | +34 Axe and Mace and Stone Mastery | +8 |
A demon kills Gyorei: +1,000 Exp +450 Wen +540 Blood Manipulation and Sickles Mastery -120 Reputation, plus the hunt's +3,300 Exp +1,485 Wen.
The same kill with the boost on: +1080 Sword Mastery (2x Mastery) -120 Reputation.
2x Mastery doubles the number and says so in the toast: 540 for Gyorei becomes 1,080. It lasts 30 minutes and costs 10 Ore, or 150 Robux (120 for Roblox Plus members). The other boosts sit in the same in-game shop.
Tower points from Ouwigahara buy mastery too: the Tower Crystal in the hub sells it at 3,000 points for any power or weapon you own. Each purchase reportedly gives one level.
At level 225, the cap, the crow mission list pays in the mastery box instead of the Exp book, and a high-level hunt list in Muzan’s lair does too. At level 188 they still show the book. The leveling page covers the climb to 225.
At level 225: four rows read Max level is 125, and Defeat Reaper pays 2,100 with the red mastery icon, not the Exp book, and 1,890 Wen.
Maxing a bar
Max out a power and you earn its title. Thunder’s is Thunder Perfected, an Epic title that lists a 1.02x breathing damage buff. The Titles menu has a Powers group of 17 and a locked Arrow Perfected, so each power seems to have one. Damage titles and the ranked Hashira and Upper Moon titles are on the Zenith and ranked page.
The bar reportedly stops at mastery 400. From level 1, that is 2,394,000 points.
Full mastery may add roughly 20 extra M1 damage.
Thunder Perfected, Epic: Reach max mastery with Thunder Brea.., 1.02x (Breathing Damage Factor). The categories include Powers (17).
Demon Progress: the demon’s version of the gourd bar
Slayers raise Slayer Progress with gourds. Demons get a bar of their own in the same menu, under Player Info / Progression, and fill it with souls. It has four levels, and level 2 needs 3,000.
Player Info / Progression, Lv 145 Demon: Demon Progress Lv 2 13 / 3000, adding +50 Max Health +0.2 Illumination +0.05 Max Health Factor. The toast above reads +25 Demon Progress Lv 1 → Lv 2 +2,000 Exp +1,800 Wen.
Demon Progress Lv 4 (Max): +100 Max Health +0.08 Max Health Factor +0.04 Evil Art Damage Factor +2 Additional Damage +0.15 Illumination.
Souls
Weak Soul+5
Small animals such as a Bear Cub
Strong Soul+10
Mizunoto; one sits on Mother Bear
Brave Soul+25
Hashira such as Gyorei, and some chests
Press T by a soul to claim it. The Mizunoto camp makes a good soul farm: each one leaves a Strong Soul, and they respawn in about 10 to 15 seconds. 2x Souls doubles that to 20 for 30 minutes, at 7 Ore or 100 Robux (80 for Roblox Plus members).
The Ore shop: 2x Mastery (30m) 10 and 2x Souls (30m) 7, beside 2x EXP (30m) 14.
An opened chest: T Brave Soul Claim. More soul orbs float around it.
Mizunoto kills with the boost: +41 Sickles Mastery -9 Reputation each, +20 Demon Progress (2x Souls), and Lv 3 → Lv 4 +12,000 Exp +10,000 Wen. A Broken Nichirin Katana drops too.
| Level up | Exp | Wen |
|---|---|---|
| Lv 1 → 2 | 2,000 | 1,800 |
| Lv 2 → 3 | 5,000 | 4,000 |
| Lv 3 → 4 | 12,000 | 10,000 |
Level 4 adds health, 4% evil art damage, 2 flat damage and some Illumination, but no skill: demons have nothing like the Slayer’s Breathing Boost. The Illumination figure dropped from 0.2 at level 2 in an early build to 0.15 at level 4 in a later one, so it may have been cut in a patch. If you are still human, the demon route starts with your reputation.
Where to see your reputation
It is in the Roblox player list at the top right, the one headed People and Reputation. Everyone in the server is listed with their number, so you can see who has been hunting Slayers. A player-made faction shows a reputation of its own too; see factions.
- Kill a demon (a Hoyuzo Subordinate)+8
- Kill a Mizunoto-9
- Attack civiliansSlowly: about -7, -15, -24, then -33 over a minute
- Kill a Hashira (Gyorei)-120
- Walk into Muzan's Lair5 evil reputation spent: a negative number moves 5 towards zero
- Reset Reputation from the shopBack to 0
Whether it matters, and how many kills a target takes, is on the reputation page. Reset Reputation costs 4 Ore or 50 Robux (40 for Roblox Plus members); the other resets are on the resets page.
Muzan's hunts: Eliminate Gyorei 1,650 1,485, the rest Max level is 125.
A Slayer kills a Hoyuzo Subordinate: +66 Exp +30 Wen +34 Axe and Mace and Stone Mastery +8 Reputation, and Demon Horns drop.
Levels 62 to 90: different quests for demons and Slayers
From about level 62 the two sides get different quest givers. Each quest pays Wen at 45% of its Exp, the same rate as the Slayer quests on the leveling page.
Five Broken Blades 1/2: Broken Nichirin Katanas 5/5 done, Return to the Shady Individual 0/1, Exp +1,050 Wen +473.
Demon, 62: Shady Individual Rooyi at Seasons Crossing wants five Broken Nichirin Katanas, which Mizunoto drop. 1,050 Exp, 473 Wen.
Demon Delroy in the snow: Thin the Kanoe Ranks 0/1, Kanoe Demon Slayers defeated 0/8, Exp +1,620 Wen +729.
Demon, 90s: Demon Delroy in the snow wants eight Kanoe Slayers beaten. 1,620 Exp, 729 Wen.
Jugg Chat at the mouth of the cave, and the toast Dreamfall Hollow NEW!.
Slayer, 62: Jugg waits at the mouth of Dreamfall Hollow. He reportedly will not talk to you until you pass Final Selection.
No demon quest is known for level 75; until one turns up, demons fill the stretch with Muzan’s hunts and Mizunoto, which also feeds Demon Progress; the hunts are on the Muzan page.
