Sublimation

Sublimation is an upgrade method that can increase a demon's maximum level past 50, and add new abilities. However, it only works in PvE content, not PvP.

Effects

Performing sublimation will increase a demon's level cap by 5, and grant a "Sublimation Bonus" ability. (For example: +10% Physical damage.)

  • The Sublimation Bonus is selected automatically for each demon. In a future update, the Sublimation Bonus will be customizable.

Sublimation can be performed up to 2 times per demon - meaning a demon can reach level 60, and have 2 Sublimation Bonus abilities.

  • This cap will be increased in future updates.

In the Kiwami+ mode, sublimated demons will deal significantly more damage than usual. This mode will also drop Icon Sublimation Petal.png Sublimation Petals.

Restrictions

Sublimation upgrades will be ignored in the following modes (mainly PvP or competitive modes):

In those modes, sublimated demons will be treated as if they are awakened, 6★, and level 50, with no sublimation bonuses applied.

Eligibility

To perform sublimation on a demon, they must already be awakened, 6★, and level 50.

To sublimate the same demon a second time, that demon must first reach its new max level of 55. The same concept applies to the third sublimation, which requires level 60, and so on.

Update waves

Sublimation eligibility is added to the game in waves. The "priority group" receives eligibility first, and then eligibility is expanded to more demons over time.

  • July 10, 2025 - First 2 sublimation stages added. Only the priority group is eligible.[1].
  • August 20, 2025 - All demons became eligible for the first 2 sublimations.
  • August 31, 2025 - 3rd sublimation added. Only the priority group is eligible.[2]
