How to Rank Up in Devil Hunter

Complete guide to ranking up in Devil Hunter. Learn about all Public Safety and Yakuza ranks, how to earn XP, complete rank requirements, and progress through the hunter ranking system.

What is Rank?

Rank is a key feature of character progression in Devil Hunter. Your rank represents your standing within your chosen faction and unlocks new opportunities as you advance.

Faction-Dependent

Your rank depends on which faction you're part of - either Public Safety HQ or the Yakuza Building. Each faction has its own ranking system.

Character Progression

Increasing your rank is essential for character progression. Higher ranks give you access to better content, more respect in the community, and prove your dedication to the game.

How to Rank Up

Ranking up in Devil Hunter follows a straightforward progression system:

Earn 5 Stars

Each rank requires you to earn all 5 stars before you can increase by one rank. Each star requires reaching a certain amount of XP.

Complete Rank Tasks

Most stars are earned by reaching XP milestones, but the fifth star for some ranks requires completing a specific task (number of kills, world events won, etc.).

Rank Up

After collecting all 5 stars, you can rank up once. Then repeat the process for the next rank!

💡 Progression Flow: Earn XP → Get Stars → Complete Tasks → Rank Up → Repeat. Earning XP becomes easy once you know what activities to focus on!

How to Get XP Fast

For efficient XP farming and ranking up, focus on these activities:

Complete Quests

Pick up every quest you find when exploring. Work through quests and complete them to earn XP as a reward. This is the most consistent XP source.

Defeat Devils

For every Devil you defeat, you get XP! Hunt down devils in the open world or complete devil-specific quests for consistent XP gains.

Complete Raids

Participate in Raids and complete them for XP rewards. Raids offer substantial XP and can be farmed during cooldowns.

Win World Events

Some rank tasks require winning world events. These also grant XP, making them doubly valuable for progression.

⚡ Pro Tip: Combine multiple activities! While exploring for quests, defeat any devils you encounter. Queue for raids during cooldowns. This multi-tasking approach maximizes your XP per hour!

To join the Yakuza Building faction, you must follow these steps:

Prerequisite

You must have no involvement with Public Safety HQ. After reaching Junior Hunter rank in Public Safety, you can begin the defection process.

Get the Quest

Pick up a special quest from the Yakuza Leader at the Yakuza hideout. This quest will initiate your transfer to the Yakuza faction.

Complete the Task

You are tasked with defeating Public Safety members. This typically requires killing a certain number of Public Safety players to prove your loyalty to the Yakuza.

Join Yakuza

Once completed, you officially join the Yakuza faction and can no longer be a part of Public Safety. Your Public Safety rank is replaced with the Yakuza ranking system.

Rank Up Tips & Strategies

🎯 Always Be Questing

Pick up every quest you see. Quests provide consistent XP and often have kill requirements that count toward both quest completion and rank task progress. Multi-tasking saves time!

⚔️ Focus on Devils for Public Safety

Public Safety members should prioritize hunting devils. Every devil defeated gives XP and contributes to your hunter duties. Combine devil hunting with quest completion for maximum efficiency.

🏢 Don't Forget Raids

Raids offer massive XP rewards and can be completed regularly during cooldowns. Even if you can't solo them, group up for efficient raid farming.

⭐ Watch for Rank Tasks

The 5th star often requires a specific task (kills, events won, etc.). Check your rank requirements regularly and focus on completing those tasks when you're close to ranking up.

🤝 Join a Clan

Being in a clan makes progression easier. You can group up for devils, raids, and world events. Organized clans clear content faster and help each other rank up.
