The Demon is a Tier 4 Class that can be unlocked at level 60, you can alternatively purchase this class for 800.

Overview

Likewise, Demon possesses otherworldly traits. First thing you will notice is that Demon's movements are primarily hovering, which is unique to this class and its mastery variant Necromancer. From its attack animations to the dash, which is the longest in the game, Demon does not set foot on the ground unless you use a mount, sheath your Scythe, or is inflicted with Knockdown status. However, this privilege does not mean obstacles can be cheesed. You will fall just like everyone else.

Outside of the movement, Demon houses some good skills. You can sacrifice some health for a damage boost, toss a scythe to eliminate multiple enemies while inflicting Slowness, and has life-steal capabilities. Demon Prince is a mix of all abilities as the orbs casts life-steal, applies slowness and strengthens your damage.

Tips and Tricks

• There are plenty of pets that are solid options for Demon based on what they offer, but here's the top 3.
  • White Foxdeer's Snowstorm is one of the top options for amplifying your damage output on enemies.
  • Fallen King pet is powerful in damage but when used along with Dark Binding & Demon Prince, the total damage can go through the roof.
  • Klaus pet is one of the best as the damage boost, defense and speed allows for quick and swift eliminations while getting around the dungeons faster- not to mention the defense still being good enough to handle lethal attacks combined with the healing.
• The ultimate can also strengthen the damage as well, and both are separate to one another. The maximum damage boost between these two skills is +68.75% attack power.
  • Before you apply Dark Binding, use Life Steal so the initial health drop does not result in you dying. Mixing these two properties is optimal in being a Demon main.
• Health replenished by Life-Steal is based on your damage.

• Current Demon
• Old Demon

After the supposed "rework" on February 17th, 2023, Demon received quite a few changes that drastically improved its performance.

• It gained a new color change on all its skills, going from purple to red.
• Demonic would be renamed to Dark Binding.
  • Rather than to boost the ultimate recharge and switch modes, it would sacrifice roughly 30% of your health for a small damage boost. The cooldown is significantly longer, but that with the duration is enough to be casted twice through the ultimate. You can also use Scythe Throw twice within the effect.
• Damage output for Scythe Throw would be buffed.
  • Scythe Throw in particular can aggro up to 8 nearby mobs if in a group. However, after the first enemy that is damaged the scythe spins faster and begins to track those mobs in range.
• Life Steal is now a AOE move. The damage occurs around the closest mob only, and can apply Life-Steal on one up to three enemies.
• Demon Prince would be changed in quality. It use to be just your model copied but expanded out and given slight transparency in black. Now, this was changed to be more "demonic". Your avatar is still covered in black, but you have a outline which is colored red. Rather than transparent, it completely covers you. Like the old Demon Prince, this one summons energy orbs but this can also provide a slight damage boost to all attacks within the duration.
  • This move was able to let you see enemies from behind walls, and the damage scale up was not working properly with Dark Binding. This would be fixed in the next update.

Trivia

• When Demon Prince is active, Pet's accessory will also receive the darkened effect, but not the pet itself.

Demon prior to the February 2023 rework used to be much different in terms of how you should use the class. One of the noticable qualities was the skill icons were purple than red, with the individual skills themselves being black or blue. The hovering movements and animations were the exact same.

However the issue with this variant of Demon was that it prioritized sustainability more than dealing damage. Most of the damage came from the pets which was embarrassing, as most difficult content of the time required the use of Black Butterfly or Red Lion. However one of the unique attributes was that Demonic used to not only switch modes but it could also replenish 4% of your Ultimate's charge. This was abusable to an extent since you could use your Ultimate multiple times in a dungeon, especially when fighting a singular boss. Because of this, the way of playing old Demon was to mix in the use of Demonic to have more Ultimate uptime.

The Ultimate looked to be much uglier than today, as it use to be your avatar duplicated, fully black and transparent with blue glowing horns. The dome was the same as today, with it dealing much less damage. Singular and multi-target damage were the same in the Ultimate, but this wasn't acknowledged since the singular target mode was universally better.

Trivia

• Using the Demonic skill 25 times can fully charge a player's ultimate. This does not count the automatic ultimate charge by seconds.
• This was one of 2 classes that had their own Class Tickets (Dragoon, Demon), but they were removed and replaced with Tier III tickets after the addition of the Spirit Archer.
• This is the only class where the AOE attack depends on a skill. The cursed effect from the life steal skill can reach to 10 seconds for enemies on single mode (each player can give 8 seconds of cursed effect to enemies)
• Because of a global anti-cheat pushed out on November 30, 2021, Old Demon's Monster Slash, Scythe Throw, and Life Steal could hit multiple enemies in Single-Target Mode.
