Here's everything you need to know about Devil Hunter clans:

What are Devil Hunter clans?

Clans are an important mechanic that can enhance your performance with powerful buffs, and they all fall under one of four categories:

  • Slayer clans
  • Demon passives
  • Moon ranks
  • Hybrids

Naturally, some clans are much rarer than others and therefore offer better perks. Plus, the four different categories have different specialities, so you need to consider how you want to approach your adventure to ensure you get the best build possible, and clans are a huge part of that.

How do Devil Hunter hybrid clans work?

Devil Hunter hybrids operate very differently when it comes to clans, as they're not really clans; it just comes down to which hybrid you want to be. You simply replace your human heart with the devil heart that you like, which leads to some great perks, such as:

  • Blood regeneration through combat
  • Unique abilities and transformations
  • Consume corpses to restore energy
  • Accelerated healing

However, this does come at some costs:

  • No more access to human contracts
  • Permanent transformation
  • An entirely different approach to combat

How do I unlock new Devil Hunter clans?

Unlocking new clans depends on which category the clan falls under. So, you can roll for the slayer clans and the demon passives, while moon ranks are only obtainable through your hard work and accomplishing tasks. Meanwhile, you can only become a hybrid by getting the heart of your desired devil - it's essential to be sure about the heart you use, as, while you can change your clan in other categories, hybrid choices are permanent.
