Form contracts with devils to gain their unique abilities. Strategic contract selection is key to building powerful hunter combinations.
Understanding the fundamental contract system in Devil Hunter
Contracts are essential for character progression and provide significant combat advantages. They are also required for Fiend transformations, making them a core system in Devil Hunter.
Contracts: Grant abilities, require 3 contracts from same devil, can lead to Fiend transformation
Hybrids: Full transformation, require Devil's Heart surgery, more powerful but different system
Follow these steps to form contracts with devils and unlock their abilities
Defeat devils in the world to collect contracts. Each devil has a chance to drop their contract when defeated.
To form a contract with a devil, you need to collect three contracts from the same devil type.
Once you have three contracts from the same devil, you can activate the contract to gain their abilities.
Contract abilities can be used with Z/X/C keys. Each contract provides unique abilities.
Understanding the connection between contracts and Fiend transformation
Once you have three contracts from the same devil, you can transform into a Fiend of that devil type, gaining Fiend abilities and appearance.
From the same devil type
Enable the contract abilities
Access the transformation ability
Unlock powerful Fiend-specific powers and appearance
Fiend transformation is different from Hybrid transformation.
These are two separate progression paths with different requirements and results.
Understanding the different contract types helps you choose the right ones for your playstyle
Boost damage, critical hits, and status effect stacking. These contracts focus on offensive power.
Provide shields, damage reduction, and self-healing. These contracts focus on staying alive longer.
Enhance movement, stun enemies, and apply crowd control effects. Great for positioning and kiting.
Start with these contract combinations as a new player to build a solid foundation

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 without constantly dying.
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 while building crucial combat skills.
Choose contracts based on your playstyle and the content you're tackling
Choose contracts with high damage abilities and mobility. Fox Devil and Future Devil contracts are popular for PvP due to their offensive capabilities.
Select contracts with AoE abilities for farming. Ghost Devil and Snake Devil contracts excel at clearing groups of enemies.
Some contracts provide healing or buff abilities. Consider these for team play and support roles.
Some contract combinations work better together. Experiment with different combinations to find powerful synergies.
Combine high-damage contracts for maximum offensive power. Fox + Future + Snake contracts create a devastating offensive build.
Best for: Players who want to maximize damage output
Warning: High risk, requires skill to use effectively
Mix offensive and defensive contracts for versatility. This approach works well for solo play and adapting to different situations.
Best for: Solo players and general progression
Advantage: Adaptable to various content types
Master the contract system with these expert tips and strategies
Don't spread yourself too thin. Focus on collecting 3 contracts from one devil first before moving to others. Having one complete, activated contract is infinitely more valuable than three partial contracts from different devils.
Farm devils in areas where they spawn frequently. Higher level areas often have better drop rates. Learn spawn locations and times to maximize efficiency.
Rare and Epic devils drop contracts less frequently. Be patient and persistent when farming these. The drop rates can be frustrating, but the rewards are worth it.
You can hold multiple active contracts, but you can only use one set of abilities at a time. Switch between contracts based on the situation.
Different missions require different approaches:
