kMSt ver. 1.2.396 – Demon Slayer Skill Changes!
Many skill changes await! There was also a lot of storyline added, Demon Slayer has quests until level 140! There’s even one at level 200! Van Leon and Orca are both a part of the Demon Slayer’s storylines. The tutorial has not been added yet, for some reason. I believe they’re making another anime-style trailer to show at the beginning of the tutorial just like Mercedes.
Force Shield of Patience: maxDF +20, DEF +10, MDEF +5 (level 10)
Force Shield of Will: maxHP +150, maxDF +50, DEF +30, MDEF +15 (level 30)
Force Shield of Power: STR +7, DEX +7, maxHP +350, maxDF +80, DEF +60, MDEF +30 (level 70)
Ultimate Force Shield: STR +12, DEX +12, maxHP +600, maxDF +110, DEF +85, MDEF +45 (level 120)
Note, these are all unlevelled stats. If you level them, they increase only the stats that they already have (ie. the first two shields will never get STR or DEX) and the maxDF does not increase upon level up. The max level is 4 for the first three and 9 for the last one. They are all untradeable and cannot be scrolled or potentialed.
These Force Shields are the only way to change the amount of Demon Force you have, other than advancing. At level 10, you’ll have 30 DF, level 30 will be 60 DF, level 70 will be 90 DF, and 120 will give you 120 DF.
Stats for scepters and the skill changes are below!
Doomed Scepter: +29 attack (level 10)
Dignity Scepter: +49 attack (level 30)
Assurity Scepter: +69 attack (level 50)
Demon Bane: +83 attack (level 70)
Evil Bane: +108 attack (level 120)
These are all untradeable, fast (5), require no DEX, and have 7 slots. You get both this and a Force Shield when you get to the specific level required. And now what you’ve all been waiting for, the skill changes!

FIRST!
Cheated to second?
All these increased HP Consumptions making me have second thoughts bout these Demon Slayers, looks like they gonna have even more difficulty bossing as well, any idea on how much HP they got? Cause if it ain’t high it aint gonna be good for them.
I know right. They now don’t seem op but seem to die faster.
Lmao they hav 10k hp at 4th job. They warriors after all. The hp consumption doesnt bother me.
dude theyll be great at bossing because no mp and lots of hp
… Not really.
They may not use MP pots, but they have to constantly restore Demon Force with the slash thing, so even if they use their fastest move, they will drain the DF faster, thus lowering DPS.
Demon slayers need buffs….
they have almost as many buffs as battle mage what are u talking about
cant wait to hear about all the quests XD
I thought demon slayer was magician because there power looks like magician
Those who are wondering if they have high HP or not.
They do, if you saw Spadow’s video of third job Demon Slayer
His 119 Demon Slayer had 10k HP. w/o Hyper Body and its clean.
Max I think you should upload Spadow’s videos of his Demon Slayer

Its looks like they got nerfed pretty bad, i mean they seem like an average class now or maybe weaker? any1 think so or have different ideas?
The nerfs don’t look that bad. If you look, it just seems like most of the things that got nerfed simply became more costly in terms of HP and DF – which is good, because a lot of those skills have high dmg%s as well as high target and hit numbers.
Also, the post above you notes how much HP a Demon Slayer would have… which is expected, considering they’re Warriors. Also, look closely, the ones that take upwards of 300 HP (the dangerously-HP consuming ones) are the type of skill you wouldn’t be spamming since they take so much HP, DF, and cast more slowly – they’re finishers. The ones that take only a little HP to use (<200) are the ones you'll cast more often, and let's face it, at most levels you'll take that kind of damage anyways.
I agree, but if so,,, then i feel like they should increase the max amount of DF, now because most skills waste hp and some of the main skills, (such as demon breath and demon explosion) have their DF usage increased, after this i feel like their restricting the demon slayer game play to demon slash only, because of the high consumption of SOME OF THE MAIN moves which demon slayers use. I still like this class but i feel instead of increasing DF by 30 each job adv it should be by increased 40, i feel like the Max DF is a little low. But again i might be wrong, im just putting my opinion out here.
I would say the DF amounts are fine. Given the fact that against bosses, which is where you’ll want to dump all your skills anyways, you recover 5 more Force than regular monsters and deal 10% extra damage (I believe it was). I personally think it’s also fine given the fact that they also have a DF equivalent of Arch Mages Infinity, giving them infinite DF for a short duration. And again, like stated the high HP cost skills are not meant to be spammed, their your finishers/show-offs. The low HP skills will probably be used actively with the basic-attack combo in training.
well there is a skill that lets u use infinite DF for about 30 secs i think so thats good
Demon Slayer is probably around the same as Mercedes after she was nerfed also; still a bit OP, but not as godly as before. I
I lol’d. There’s already a Mage Resistance, so I can’t imagine what else it could be other than a Warrior.
man what are u talking about dude its a worrior with great mobility and amazing damage and skills
This is a buff.. I don’t see what you guys are talking about. If you have played a Demon Slayer in kMSt after this patch you would know. Bossing is better for them now and also dont know any 140+ person without auto hp/mp
As omar said this is more of a buff than a nerf DPS wise however the HP concerns me.. also the fact they cant be hp washed (Hasnt HP wash entirely been removed with the legend update? I realy don’t hope so) But god emon Impact: damage was decreased from 600% to 400%. Hit count was increased from 4 to 5. Now ignores 50% PDR if attacking a boss monster. is the most boss skill ever lmfao
I’m not really phased by the changes. In fact, I like them. The more things that make them unattractive to the masses makes them all the better a class. The HP costs will be a ton of fun.
.. basically the only thing that got nerfed was that they consume more hp? soft. i can deal with that 😉 as long as they are still bad ass looking i am not giving up on this smexy class
Demon Impact: damage was decreased from 600% to 400%. Hit count was increased from 4 to 5. Now ignores 50% PDR if attacking a boss monster.
^.. do they still have their 30% extra damage + 100% crit..? o.o
Yes
so its basically a buff when you boss? xD
Since when does MW hurt you…lol
I love that the skills cost HP, reminds me of a Drk which I love.
The changes improves Demon dmg against boss, and faster n more absorbing force demon slash? AWESOME. Also, they have quest till 140, this will keep me occupied when I’m bored of training. Really looking forward to it cming to MSEA, hope it outs at dec2012 or I wont be able to focus on my major exams.
Nice that the Slayer (I’m omitting “Demon” because “Demon Slayer” implies he kills demons, which isn’t exactly correct) has quests up till Lv140.
Now if only Nexon would do the same for everyone else to spice up gameplay a little, so to speak.
Demon Slayer to me is “Demon’s Slayer”
Black mage is the Demon i guess F3
I don’t know why people are getting so worked up over the cost of hp for skills. Demon slayers have a party skill that gives party memebers and themselves a drain ability like arans combo drain, so the fact that skills use hp isn’t that big a deal. I for one am excited to try this class seeing as how my favorite classes are arans and bams and this is somewhat a combination of the two. Also I love their mobility.
I wish they’d make the other adventurer classes look as attractive as this class. Spamming ground smash and power strike (etc.) looks like joke compared to demon slayer 2nd and 3rd job skills.
I m happy with the skill changes. At least, they aren’t overpowered like mercedes now.
Right, cause they’re more overpowered.
Dear Ignorant Players,
Please note that NO individual class is exactly OP but a bit more powerful in the eyes of the public. Quit hating on these new classes just because their skills are more appealing than ur main character’s. Just because a class seems better that ur main’s doesn’t mean that you can hate on it. Grow up because nexon doesnt have to keep updating. It isn’t a necessity that Nexon has to keep adding new classes. Just remember that you dont have to be afraid of progress.
Sincerely,
Swivel J. Swansen
Dear Mr.Ignorant please look up my channel on YouTube “DrChowder” you will see my overpowered Demon Slayer which is clean, ans has no funds yet I can solo Pap in 4 mins and do 320k+ with Demon Impact at lvl 1. I don’t hate this class, its quite the opposite. I adore classes with lots of HP so this will do me well.
I suggest you stfu
~Baroken
No need to be rude, even if he “started it”.
Dear Baroken,
I did not use that to reply directly to you. Iwas trying to tell people that when there is a new class it is most likely to be nerfed later on to be more balanced. I just dont like it when people call a class OP right as they first come out like for mechs for example. Have you seen the youtube video when the mech owned pap quicker than ur demon slayer? That is what nerfs are for. Now do you see any mechs solo pap that quicky lately? The answer is “NO” because mechs got nerfed. I now hope that you see my side of the picture.
Sincerely,
Swivel J. Swansen
ikr 😀
Do want the details of storyline of Demon Slayer!!!
Yeah Max, could you post the storyline?
Screw Hp costs, im only making this class cuz of sxy MW which looks like erza scarlet. XD
do you have a youtube channel that goes along with this and that will post videos? If so what is it :O
I seriously saw all there skill and they make every other class look inferior, however now that I know they have HP cost everything seems fine now.
Nexon don’t give Demon Slayer buffs, they don’t deserve it
I’m really want demon slayer! I love storylines! But if you just GET the force shields and scepters, do you still need other weapons? I sure hope the storyline and tutorial will come soon… Btw, who’s orca?
Orca is from the Mercedes storyline.
um u say if they onley use scepters and force sheilds well they dont they can use any mace or i handed ax but the force sheild i think they need to have it always equipt because thats what holds the demon force without that u wouldnt be able to use skills
Yesh, I wanted it t get nerfed. I hate demon slayers…
Screw YOU >:O
well thats not very nice O. o
stfu ur an ignorant hater and bitchen because demon slayer is good
Speak the truth! >:o
This class seems like Frankenstein in Noblesse ;D
I think that this is just a class to be deifferent and similar to its hero counterpart (the Aran). Aran has the combo system while DS have the force system. The both also require the spamming of the attack keys. They are different in their combative skills as well as their transportational skills. As arans have combat step, DS has wing related skills (double jump, high jump, and double jump). I also beleive that they share some similar qualities with Mercedes like a powerful move that hits a lot of monsters but isn’t an Ultimate. They both also seem as if they were opposites as Mercedes seems a more celestial as Demons Slayer seems a bit demonic. Personally, I dont care if Demon slayer is kind of demonic, I’m still making it as well for Mercedes having a Unicorn/Pegasus mount. I can’t wait to see what the Resistance/Hero Theives are all about. I also cant wait till nexon comes up with third additions to the archer class(adventurers of course), and maybe, just maybe will they come up with fourth add-ons to to the warriors,mages,archers,theives, and pirates with just different bases and different fighting styles. Now, after reading this comment, you may think…. ” Dam! this guy has no life” well think again. I’m just here stating what i think about this and what is yet to come. So please reconsider making any rude comments that are inside your head and keep the to yourself? ( if there are any). Thank you and have a wonderful day =3
hey are u a boy or girl cant tell cause if ure a guy ur gay cause u like unicorns if ur a girl ur immature so whitch one
I’m a guy and in matter of fact I happen to dislike unicorns. I was tired the night i posted this so im srry for any confusion. What i had ment to say was that I was going to make them both to try them out, not because i like unicorns in which i don’t. so next time before u post, think and stfu.
Do the monsters have to die to get DF ? If so, how can DS fight boss and go PvP ?
Oh nvm, its no 🙂
Do the scepters also level up?
Nope
Only a damb lazy ppl who scare to buy alot a potion so they say demon slayer nerfed
i buy 1000 gingerales evy time i repot so im good 🙂
Hey Max could you please post more information about the new mp gain formula you mentioned back in 1.2.391 😀
I’m not big on formulas and technical stuff, and I don’t even think you can find out stuff like that without a bunch of tests, so sorry I can’t :S
Can you replace the force shield with an attack sheild of some kind (Maple Shield for example) or would that have negative side effects
I dont think you can :S You can only unequip the level 120 one, and I can’t check for you, but I’d assume not
even if u did replace it u would only have 10 DF, and id find that slightly problematic
cheated to 3rd?
lol the class can have a 55% dmg bonus around 140 and the skills are stack-able.
