Devil Connector
Devil Connector is an assist feature, where 3 demons can be assigned to offer stat boosts to the party. The leader of these three demons will also automatically cast a skill at the start of battle.
Contents
Team restrictions
Demons in Connector are considered an extension of the current party. Due to this, the same demon cannot be in both the party and in the currently-selected Connector.
This restriction also applies to certain alts that can't be in a team together, such as Masakado and Masakado A. See Team restrictions for more details.
In quests where the player brings two teams, each team must use a different Connector.
Slots
Demons in Connector are assigned to one of three Demon slots, and each demon has three skill slots: one slot for an active skill, and two slots for passive skills.
Only the demon in the "leader" slot (the topmost slot) will be able to use their active skill, and they will do so automatically at the start of battle. When casting this active skill, it uses the combined stats of all three Demons in Connector.
Demon slots and skill slots can be leveled up: the former by using Slasher 13 (chainsaws), and the latter by using Nightmare Nails. Upgrades to slots will persist, even if the demon or skill in that slot is changed.
- Upgrading a demon slot will increase that slot's Reflection Rate. Reflection Rate is multiplied by the stats of the Demon, and the result is added to the team as stat boosts.
- Upgrading a skill slot will enhance the effects of the skill in that slot. See the skill's description for specifics.
Slasher 13 and Nightmare Nails have four tiers: 1★, 2★, 3★, and EX
- Starred tiers can be exchanged for each other, at a rate of 10 items for the next tier up.
- EX-tier items cannot be obtained by exchanging.

Skills
Each Demon starts with an active skill and no passive skills.
Additional skills can be obtained by leveling up a Demon's friendship, which requires giving them Heartfelt Offerings. When friendship levels up, the demon will have an Inspiration, where they suggest a new Connect Skill to be applied to them. If the player accepts, then the new skill is added to the Demon. If the player instead discards the skill, then they receive it as a Connect Skill Genome that can be applied to any Demon. Higher friendship levels increase the chance that the suggested skill will be a strong one.
Accepting a skill during inspiration transfers it to the Demon at no cost, and skills may be harvested off of a Demon at no cost as well. However, transferring a Genome to a Demon will cost an amount of Connect Components, with the amount needed varying by the skill. Generally speaking, stronger skills will cost more Components to transfer.

Stats
Demons in Connector do not consider how much the player has invested into them (levels, infusions, panels etc). By default, all Demons in connector use their 6★ Awakened stats for Str, Mag, and Vit. (Agi and Luk are not used in Connector)
Each Demon in Connector multiplies their stats by their Reflection Rate, which starts at 50%, and the resulting stats are then applied as bonus stats to the team. Reflection Rate can be increased by upgrading Connector's Demon slots.
Having high Aptitude Ranks will further increase the bonus stats applied to the team.
Connect Infusion
By spending Killer Nectar (tomatoes), a Demon's Connector stats can be increased, up to a total of 350 in each of Str, Mag, and Vit. The amount of Nectar needed increases with each infusion performed on the same stat. It is overall less costly to infuse a demon to maximum stats if they already have high stats at base.
Aptitude
Each Demon has Aptitudes for certain elements, as well as healing, supporting, and obstruction. These values are generally taken from elsewhere in the Megami Tensei franchise, so they may not always match up with a demon's role or abilities in dx2.
Connector adds up the Aptitudes of all three demons, and assigns a rank to the total of each Aptitude. Certain skills' effects may also change depending on the Aptitude totals.
Aptitude Ranks
Certain ranges of total Aptitude will qualify for Ranks. For the highest Rank achieved on each Aptitude, a stat bonus percentage is applied to the bonus stats for the team.
For instance, achieving Rank C on Dark and Rank D on Elec at the same time will grant a stat bonus of (0.7% + 0.5% = ) 1.2%.
All Aptitude values are multiples of 10.
Rank | Aptitude range | Stat bonus | |
---|---|---|---|
Min | Max | ||
S | 200+ | 1.0% | |
A | 150 | 190 | 0.9% |
B | 100 | 140 | 0.8% |
C | 50 | 90 | 0.7% |
D | 10 | 40 | 0.5% |
E | 0 | 0% | |
F | -30 | -10 | 0% |
G | -50 | -40 | 0% |
H | -60 or less | 0% |

Strategy
Due to the high cost of friendship levels, obtaining new Connect Skills may take a long time - therefore, players just starting out on Devil Connector will be very dependent on default skills and stat bonuses from Aptitudes.
Choosing active skills
- Healing - This can be helpful in Aura Gate, allowing the team to recover a little HP at the start of every encounter. If auto talk is turned on, this can also help patch up any HP sacrifices made when recruiting demons.
- Elemental AoEs - These can provide a small boost to damage in almost any context.
- If the damage dealt is high enough, then this can disrupt enemy effects that rely on high HP, such as on The 10th Angel.
- However, note that all of the basic AoEs are magic-based, including the Phys AoE. This means that demons with high Str are not going to help make the Phys AoE skill deal more damage. Demons with high Mag are unlikely to have the Phys AoE skill by default, either.
- Also note that Connect Skills do not trigger chain effects, so you can't use it to set off a turn 0 combo.
- The basic ATK Buff/Debuff skill is very weak, so it probably isn't worth using. While it does stack with regular buffs/debuff, it's a measly 1% effct that won't make much of a difference.
Choosing Aptitudes
Early on, the most that Aptitudes can offer is the stat bonuses for Ranks. However, the returns for higher ranks diminishes a lot - it's more efficient to spread Aptitudes widely,: get a D rank in as many different Aptitudes as possible.
For example: S Rank is a 1% stat boost for 200 Aptitude, meanwhile D Rank is 0.5% stat boost for 10 aptitude. Getting D rank in two Aptitudes (0.5% x 2 = 1%) is effectively the same as S rank in one Apt, and D rank in three Apts (0.5% x 3 = 1.5%) surpasses it.
