What are Devil Contracts?
Devil Contracts are agreements formed with devils that grant you their unique abilities. By collecting three contracts from the same devil type, you can activate the contract and gain access to powerful abilities.
Contracts are essential for character progression and provide significant combat advantages. They are also required for Fiend transformations.
Contract vs Hybrid
Hybrids: Full transformation, require Devil's Heart surgery, more powerful but different system

Contract Types & Cost Analysis
⚔️ DPS Contracts
Boost damage, critical hits, and status effect stacking. These contracts focus on offensive power.
Common Costs:
- • Continuous health drain
- • Resource cap reduction (-10%)
- • Increased skill cooldowns
Examples:
Fox Devil, Future Devil, Snake Devil
🛡️ Survival Contracts
Provide shields, damage reduction, and self-healing. These contracts focus on staying alive longer.
Common Costs:
- • Reduced damage output
- • Longer cooldown times
- • Movement speed penalty
Examples:
Ghost Devil (defensive abilities), Stone Devil
⚡ Mobility/Control Contracts
Enhance movement, stun enemies, and apply crowd control effects. Great for positioning and kiting.
Common Costs:
- • Increased resource consumption
- • Reduced defense
- • Shorter ability durations
Examples:
Bat Devil, Ghost Devil (mobility)
Cost vs Benefit Analysis
Cost Rhythm: Continuous costs (health drain, resource regen reduction) work better for "hit and run" playstyles.
Combo Limits: Avoid stacking similar costs (double health drain, double regen reduction). Prioritize complementary combinations.
Beginner Contract Recommendations
🛡️ Survival + Stable DPS
Best for: New players who want balanced progression
Recommended Combo:
Small damage reduction + light DPS boost
Cost: Slightly longer cooldowns
This combination provides survivability while still allowing you to deal meaningful damage. Perfect for learning the game.
⚡ Mobility Practice Set
Best for: Players who want to practice movement and positioning
Recommended Combo:
Movement enhancement + low-cost DPS
Cost: Increased energy consumption
Great for learning dodging, positioning, and hit-and-run tactics. The energy cost teaches resource management.
Common Beginner Mistakes
• Sacrificing too much survival for burst damage, leading to high mission failure rates
• Binding multiple continuous health drain/regen reduction contracts, causing supply pressure
• Ignoring cost rhythm - continuous costs don't work well for long fights
• Not matching contracts to mission types (boss vs. clearing)
Strategic Contract Selection
For PvP Builds
Choose contracts with high damage abilities and mobility. Fox Devil and Future Devil contracts are popular for PvP due to their offensive capabilities.
For PvE Builds
Select contracts with AoE abilities for farming. Ghost Devil and Snake Devil contracts excel at clearing groups of enemies.
For Support Builds
Some contracts provide healing or buff abilities. Consider these for team play and support roles.
Contract Combinations
Synergy
Offensive Combo
Combine high-damage contracts for maximum offensive power. Fox + Future + Snake contracts create a devastating offensive build.
Balanced Combo
Mix offensive and defensive contracts for versatility. This approach works well for solo play and adapting to different situations.
