Project Slayers Tier List
“Should you go human or demon, and which style or art is actually worth the grind?”
Last Updated: July 2026
Project Slayers puts you in the world of Demon Slayer, and your very first big choice is whether to stay human and master a breathing style, or become a demon and grind for a Blood Demon Art instead.
The game has pulled in more than 674 million visits since launching in 2020, though the crowd playing at any given moment is a lot smaller than that huge lifetime total suggests. The developers are still actively patching it, with an update landing as recently as July 1, 2026.
Here is the tricky part: the top tier list articles you find for this game online are not as fresh as they look. Search results claim “2026” updates, but the actual pages are reprinted from 2023 and disagree with each other on almost everything.
We cross-checked them anyway to find the picks that hold up no matter which source you trust. New to the game? Our Project Slayers wiki covers the basics, and the Project Slayers codes page lists any free boosts you can claim.
The Quick Answer
For breathing styles, Water Breathing and Thunder Breathing are the safest picks since every tracker rates them A-tier or higher, while Insect Breathing is the one style almost everyone agrees is weakest. For Blood Demon Arts, Blood Explosion Art is the closest thing to a universal S-tier pick, with Dream Art and the newer Ice Art also landing consistently high, while Arrow Art sits at the bottom everywhere.
How the Two Paths Work
Before the rankings, here is how the human-versus-demon split actually works in Project Slayers.
1
Pick your side early. Stay human and train toward a breathing style, or turn demon and grind for a Blood Demon Art instead. Both paths play very differently.
2
Unlock your specific style or art. Breathing styles and Blood Demon Arts both need to be found or trained through quests and grinding, not chosen freely from a menu.
3
Level it up through use. Every style and art gets stronger the more you fight with it, so the ranked picks below are worth aiming for early rather than switching constantly.
4
Check for free help before you grind. The Project Slayers codes page lists any current boosts that make the grind toward a specific style or art faster.
Breathing Styles Compared
Project Slayers has 14 real breathing styles on the books, but only a handful have enough cross-source agreement to rank with confidence. Here are the ones worth knowing.
| Breathing style |
Focus |
Current standing |
| Wind Breathing |
Mobility and combo pressure. |
Ranked S-tier on one major tracker (called “underrated”), A-tier on another. Consistently near the top either way. |
| Thunder Breathing |
Speed-based bursts and stuns. |
Lands at A-tier or higher on every source we checked, with some calling its upgraded forms the strongest overall. |
| Water Breathing |
A flexible, well-rounded kit. |
The single safest pick. Every tracker that covers it places it at A-tier or above. |
| Beast Breathing |
Unpredictable multi-hit strikes. |
A consistent A-tier pick wherever it is covered. |
| Insect Breathing |
Poison-based strikes. |
The one style almost every source agrees is the weakest of the group. |
Blood Explosion Art is the only pick that lands in S-tier on every tracker checked.
Blood Demon Arts Compared
The demon path has 10 named Blood Demon Arts. Blood Explosion Art stands out as the rare pick every source agrees on.
| Demon Art |
Focus |
Current standing |
| Blood Explosion (Blood Burst) Art |
Landmine detonations you can trigger on command. |
The only Demon Art that lands in S-tier on every tracker checked. The closest thing to a universal consensus pick in the whole game. |
| Dream Art |
Illusion-based damage built for PvP. |
Ranked S-tier on newer coverage, and repeatedly singled out as a strong PvP pick. |
| Ice Art |
A newer Update 1.5 addition. |
Already A-tier and called one of the strongest additions from the latest patch. |
| Reaper Art |
Dash-heavy chasing and dodging. |
A-tier on most sources, with only one older list ranking it lower. |
| Arrow Art |
Ranged poking. |
Consistently placed at the bottom of the Demon Art list. |
Why these tier lists disagree so much
The most popular Project Slayers tier list pages carry search titles claiming a “2026” update, but their actual page timestamps are September 2023, June 2023, and July 2023. They are reprinted old content wearing a fake freshness date, not a live current ranking.
That staleness shows in the details. Wind Breathing is S-tier on one site and A-tier on another. Flame Breathing is missing entirely from one list (a reader even called out the omission in the comments) but S-tier on the other.
Treat any single tier list for this game with caution, and lean on the picks above that multiple sources actually agree on.
Tips for Picking a Style or Art
- Try the human path first if you are new. Breathing styles have more written guidance available than Blood Demon Arts.
- Lean toward Water or Thunder Breathing if raw safety matters most, since both are rated highly everywhere.
- Blood Explosion Art is the single most agreed-upon strong pick in the entire game if you go the demon route.
- Do not fully trust one tier list site. Check the actual publish date before assuming a ranking is current.
- Watch patch notes for new content like Ice Art, since freshly added styles and arts can shake up the rankings fast.
- Check the Project Slayers codes page for boosts before grinding toward a specific pick.
