Slayers 2 Blood Demon Art Tier List
All nine launch arts in Slayers 2 (Project Slayers 2), placed where 4 published tier lists put them. Because arts are rolled rather than chosen, this list is really a "keep or reroll" guide: keep S and A, consider B, reroll C. Spins come from codes.
How these tiers are set
We have not tested these rankings in-game, so every tier here is a vote count, not our opinion. We read each published Slayers 2 tier list we could find, recorded its letter for every entry, and took the middle one. When the lists split evenly, the lower tier wins: an entry needs a majority to rank higher. Where the lists sit two or more tiers apart the entry is marked contested, and the chips show who said what and when.
Lists dated before a balance patch can lag the current game. The latest balance patch is V0.25 (October 2026). Pro Game Guides (2026-10-11) describes V0.25 as the latest balance pass, improving Ice, Arrow and Pyrokinesis in PvE, changing Shockwave and Blood Manipulation guard pressure, revising several clan kits, protecting Water's Dead Calm target from outside attackers and adding PvP Armor Penetration to Nightfall armor. Only lists that say they were rebuilt for V0.25 are marked post-patch below.
- Pro Game Guides, updated 2026-10-11 · post-patch. Updated for V0.25 and describes the V0.25 balance pass; its clan, Breathing Style and Demon Art rankings are recorded below.
- UrGameTips, updated 2026-09-30.
- Destructoid, updated 2026-10-05. Reworked on October 5 into separate PVE and PVP tables; the ranks below use its PVE table for the cross-source median.
- TechWiser, updated 2026-10-17.
- Not counted: Grind N Strat. Summarises a video in loose bands such as 'Strong Options' and 'Lower Tier' rather than letter grades, and names some arts only by their anime wielder.
