Basics

Items

Pictures of the important resources mentioned in this Section. The objects are: Kasane Magatama (top-left), Blank Genome (top-right), Yasaka Magatama (bottom-left) and Skill Genome (bottom-right)

Yasaka Magatama; Green Beans

Are resources used to add Skill Points (SP) to a demon.

  • The amount of SP a Yasaka Magatama adds depends on its rarity,for example a 1* Yasaka Magatama gives 1 SP to the demon its used on while a 6* Yasaka Magatama gives 6 SP to the demon.

Kasane Magatama; Red Beans

Are resources used to level up a skill on a demon.

  • Leveling skills by using Kasane Magatamas DO NOT require SP.

Harvesting

Is the process of taking off a skill from a demon. (see in-game tutorial)

  • Only gacha skills can be harvested

Blank Genomes

Are resources used to Harvest skills from demons.

  • Can only be used to harvest moves that are transferable i.e. transferable skills and gacha skills.
  • A Blank Genome can only be used once.

Skill Genomes

Genomes obtained via summoning on skill gacha banners,harvesting gacha skills,as pvp tier rewards.These genomes can be used to transfer the skill it contains

  • A Skill Genome can only be used once.

Skill Transfer

Skill transfer allows a demon to learn a skill from another demon, increasing its combat options and creating powerful combinations. To transfer a skill, the demon that receives the skill needs skill points, and you need another demon with the skill you want to transfer. Skill points are per-demon, and they are acquired by sacrificing other demons or special items (either demon's souls or Yasaka Magatamas) in Pandemonium, more precisely the possible sacrifices/fodders are:

  • A copy of the same demon (ignoring level and rarity). (1 + demon's base rarity skill points) (recommended practice ONLY for 3★ and below)
  • A demon of the same base rarity. (1 skill point) (not a recommended practice)
  • A demon soul (obtained from encounters in the Aura Gate) of the same demon. (1 skill point)
  • A Yasaka Magatama item (1 to 6 skill points, number of points equal to the item’s Stars) Don’t use your Yasaka Magatama on 3★ or lower rarity demons as duplicates or the same rarity can easily be fused or pulled from the gacha for skill points!

Transferring skills can be done in two ways:

  • Using a demon with the skill you want to transfer, a donor. The donor may only transfer certain skills, marked with a DNA tag in their description. This is always the first skill, any skills received by transfer, and the bonus skill a Summoned demon receives (colloquially called "Gacha skill"). The user interface (UI) is well done, so there will be no problem performing what you seek to do.
    • By default, the donor will die during the transfer process.
    • If the skill you wish to transfer is on the last two skill slots, meaning the skill was a skill received by transfer or a Gacha skill, then you can use a Blank Genome to "harvest" the skill. Harvesting does not kill the demon.
  • Using a Skill Genome with the name of the skill you wish to transfer. Skill Genomes are items that are obtained by summoning the skill (through gacha) or through the "harvesting" previously mentioned.

Skill points and transferred skills are lost when fusing. Skills are not lost when evolving, so feel free to power up! Once you have transferred a skill, you can replace it with another transferred skill using the same process. If you transfer the same skill again, the skill will level up and become more powerful!

List of good transferable skills

Skill List has all the Skills in the game and in their corresponding category. The demons from which they can be transfered from is also listed. Each skill also has a wiki page listing all the demons the skill can be transfered from.

Basic and Cheap skills

When thinking about which skills should be transferred to a demon, consider these guidelines as a general rule for early-mid game:

  1. Does it have any weaknesses? If it has a single weakness, you should cover it up with a [Resist x] transfer, as the press turn system makes weaknesses deadly.
  2. Figure out the role that you want the demon to fulfill and give skills that fit it.

Here are cheap and basic skills obtainable by fusing the corresponding demon:

Resistance

Resist skills are used to cover up a weakness on a demon.

  • Resist Phys (4★ Hanuman)
  • Resist Fire (4★ Pazuzu)
  • Resist Ice (4★ Odin)
  • Resist Elec (4★ Throne)
  • Resist Force (4★ Pallas Athena)

Physical Skills

Passive skill and self-buff

  • Phys Boost (4★ Wu Kong)
  • Charge (3★ Berserker)
  • Rebellion (3★ Ammut)

Physical attacks.

  • Hades Blast (3★ Ose)
  • Fatal Sword (2★ Naga)
  • Oni-Kagura (3★ Setanta)

Magic Skills

Almighty magic doesn't contain as much power as Elemental magic, but it ignores Makarakarn and the damage cannot be blocked.

  • Megido (3★ Arahabaki)

Elemental Boosts are passive skills that drastically increase damage dealt of an element.

  • Fire Boost (4★ Prometheus)
  • Ice Boost (4★ Beiji-Wang, 4★ King Frost)
  • Elec Boost (4★ Titania)
  • Force Boost (4★ Oberon, 4★ Dragon Long)

  • Mazan (2★ Chupacabra, 2★ Legion)

Healing Skills

Healing is great for healing up your demons without having to waste items. Here's a list of skills commonly transferred for healing.

  • Mediara (3★ Lailah)
  • Diarama (3★ Horus)

Resurrection is useful for when things don't go as planned.

  • Samrecarm (3★ Isis)

Support Skills

Stat buff skills are powerful as they affect all allies.

  • Tarukaja (2★ Archangel, 3★ Apis)
  • Rakukaja (2★ Kurama Tengu)

  • Dekunda (2★ Abraxas)

Repel Phys/Mag can definitely be great for reducing enemy Press Turns.

  • Makarakarn (4★ Dantalian)
  • Tetrakarn (4★ Azrael)

Status Ailment Skills

Status ailments are best inflicted against all enemies for the best chance of getting at least a single target. Bind & Charm are the best status ailments to inflict.

  • Mashibaboo (4★ Skadi)
  • Mamarin Karin (4★ Succubus)

Advanced skills - Gacha skills hoarding

If you ever ask yourself which 3 stars or 4 stars demons you can sell or which ones you should keep because of a rare Gacha skill they may have, simply look at the Sections below. This is a basic list of skills you may or may not want to keep.

For 5 stars demons, you don't want to use them as fodder (except fusion or panel fodders), yet they may possess rare Gacha skills. In this case you'd want to use a Blank Genome to extract the skill without killing the holder.

Remark : the lists are not exhaustive as new demons may be added where as the list may not be updated. But they provide a very good grasp on what are the good Gacha skills.

Gacha skills from 3★

Gacha skills from 3★ demons are not worth using a Blank Genome on. However some may be worth keeping the demon in the storage as "skill transfer fodder". Here are these skills:

Rare skills with somewhat good effect (no indication on the demon carriers is given for skills carried by many many demons; please click on the skill for the full list of carrier demons)

Rare attacks of average power/usefulness, but good to stock up for leveling up the skill on a demon that has it innately

Skill already obtainable from fusing 4★ demons. But getting them as gacha skill can save you up a few 100s K Magnetite

Gacha skills from 4★

Gacha skills from 4★ demons are not worth using a Blank Genome on unless the demon itself is Gacha exclusive. But they can nonetheless be used as fodders.

Rare skills with excellent effects (no indication on the demon carriers is given for skills carried by many many demons; please click on the skill for the full list of carrier demons)

Rare skills to be used either for Democalypse or leveling up skills on demons who innately have them

Skill already obtainable from fusing expensive 4★ demons. But getting them as gacha skill can save you up 400 K Magnetites or more

Gacha skills from 5★

Gacha skills from 5★ that are worth using a Blank Genome on.

Supremely rare and powerful skills: must-haves

Rare and very powerful skills

Rare skills to be used either for Democalypse or leveling up skills on demons who innately have them
