How to Get Devil Hunter in UTDX?

Devil Hunter is obtained from the Devil Capsule, available in The Devil Within Event Shop. Here’s how to get it:

  1. Press the Events tab on the right side of the screen.
  2. Click the Shop button (bottom right of the Events menu).
  3. Purchase a Devil Capsule for 10 Devil Orbs each.
  4. You have a 0.5% chance per capsule to pull Devil Hunter or Alpha Devil.
  5. A built-in pity system guarantees either unit by the 50th capsule if you haven’t received either yet.

Farm Devil Orbs by completing The Devil Within event missions — these include logging in daily, clearing stages with specific units, and teaming up with other players.

Pro Tip: Use active codes like DMCPatch! and iAmApproaching for free Devil Orbs to jump-start your pulls. [INTERNAL LINK: UTDX Codes Guide]

Devil Hunter Evolution: Mercenary Form

Evolving Devil Hunter into Devil Hunter (Mercenary) is where the unit truly shines. Speak to the Evolution NPC, select the unit, and submit:

  • 1× Devil Hunter’s Sword — purchase for 50 Devil Orbs from the Event Shop
  • Evolution Fragments — buy with Gold from the Merchant NPC (stock rotates every few hours, so check regularly)

The Mercenary form unlocks three powerful passives and access to four weapon variants.

Devil Hunter (Mercenary) — Abilities & Passives

Passives

PassiveEffect
Awakening MeterFills 10% per attack (20% at Etherealization 4). Reaching 100% triggers Demon Awakened mode: +50% Damage while active, drains 10% per attack
Freestyle (Stylist)After 10 continuous seconds of attacking, the unit earns style points (+5% Damage per rank). Threshold drops to 5 seconds at Etherealization 2
Astral (3rd Passive)Unlocked at higher Etherealization; powers up DoT-based damage scaling

Weapon Variants

WeaponEffect
Devil Sword (base)Attacking Bleeding enemies applies 80% Burn over 10 ticks
Twin GunsCircle AoE attacks; −20% SPA penalty
DemoncycleEnemies with any DoT debuff are stunned on hit; stun +2 sec per additional DoT stack
Fancy Hat−3,000 Yen per attack; +100% Damage; stops attacking below 3,000 Yen (10-sec cooldown)

The Demoncycle variant is especially powerful in DoT-heavy teams — pair it with units applying Bleed, Poison, or Burn to chain-stun entire waves.

Best Traits & Team Composition

Recommended Trait: Fission — increases both Damage and Range, matching Devil Hunter’s sustained attack style.

Ideal Team Setup:

  • Devil Hunter (Mercenary) as your primary wave-clear DPS
  • A Bleed-applying unit (e.g., Alpha Devil / Omega) to trigger Devil Sword’s Burn conversion
  • A support unit like Water God or Virtual Idol for utility and affliction uptime

Keep the Freestyle passive active by placing Devil Hunter on densely-trafficked lanes — constant attacking is how he snowballs damage. [INTERNAL LINK: UTDX Tier List]

Is Devil Hunter Worth It?

Yes. In the current Update 2.75 meta, Devil Hunter (Mercenary) ranks among the top Ground units thanks to:

  • Reliable Burn + Stun synergy via weapon variants
  • A self-scaling damage loop through Awakening + Freestyle
  • Strong performance in Infinite Mode and Challenge stages where long combat windows let him reach peak style rank

He’s best in DoT-focused compositions, while his brother unit Alpha Devil (Omega) handles boss burst better. For general-use wave clear, Devil Hunter is the more consistent pick. [INTERNAL LINK: UTDX Best Units Guide]

FAQ

How many Devil Orbs does it take to get Devil Hunter?

Each capsule costs 10 Devil Orbs, and pity guarantees a pull at 50 capsules (500 Devil Orbs worst case). Farm orbs through daily event missions.

What is Demon Awakened mode in UTDX Devil Hunter?

When the Awakening meter hits 100%, Devil Hunter transforms and gains +50% Damage. The meter drains 10% per attack until empty, then he resets. At Etherealization 4, the meter fills twice as fast.

What’s the best weapon for Devil Hunter (Mercenary)?

Demoncycle is top-tier for DoT teams — it stuns enemies with active debuffs, with stun duration scaling per debuff stack. Devil Sword is strong when paired with Bleed-inflicting units.

Is Devil Hunter better than Alpha Devil in UTDX?

Devil Hunter (Mercenary) dominates DoT/status team comps and wave-clear. Alpha Devil (Omega) is better for boss-killing and flexible weapon-swap builds. Both are top-tier in Update 2.75.

When does the Devil Hunter event end?

The Brotherly Demons event and The Devil Within Event Shop ran until May 8, 2026. If the event has ended, check for future re-runs or alternative acquisition methods in upcoming updates.
