In this Devil Hunter Idle Beginners Guide, we will try and list out the basic tips and tricks for players to help them get the best out of the game.
Gameplay Overview
The gameplay is pretty simple in Devil Hunter Idle, as mentioned earlier the game revolves around a level-specific idle RPG style where you keep on fighting the monsters in the game and fight the bosses in the game once enough experience points have been accumulated for your player. Coming to bosses, there is a vast collection of bosses present in the game for players to test their mettle against. Each of them has a diverse and unique skill set for players to tackle.
The combat system in the game allows the players to have a quite diverse arsenal of skills as well as different combat options like melee and ranged available. The game allows players to experience action-packed pleasure through the Midair Evasion Action, Parrying, and Counter System.
Introducing the in-game Monsters
There are different types of monsters in the game which players encounter during the normal course of the game. It will definitely come in handy if players have a brief understanding of what the dangers and weaknesses of different characters would be before making the journey into the game.
To be very specific, there are in total 5 types of monsters in the game, namely fire-based, water-based, wood-based, light-based, and darkness-based. In a similar way for each class of monsters, there are the same class-based attacks for the playable character in the game. Players also have attacking options divided into fire-based, water-based, wood-based, light-based, and darkness-based powerups.
Players can use these powerups to exploit the weaknesses of the enemies. As a general concept, Fire based powerups trump Wood based, Wood based trumps Water based, Water based trumps Fire based and the cycle repeats. On the other hand, Light trumps Darkness-based, and Darkness-based trumps Light-based powerups. Be sure to keep this general format in mind to exploit the monsters and make it easier for you to fight them off.
Mastering the Boss fights in the game
Boss fights are the ultimate goal in Devil Hunter Idle. The game, banks on the fact that it offers multiple uniquely developed bosses in the game, which makes it interesting for the players to keep leveling up and keep on discovering what new monsters the game has to offer.
The first step towards defeating the bosses in the game, Devil Hunter Idle is to understand the pattern in which the bosses attack. Despite having different class systems in the game, the basics of attacks are more or less the same for each boss in the game and thus are predictable making it easier for players to strategize against the attacks.
Bosses apart from the basic slash attacks use regular special attacks which have lasting impacts on the players such as stun, reduced health, bleeding effects, and many such effects. However, there is a time-specific option that flashes just before the bosses are going to cast their special attacks in the game. Just before the special attack is done, there is a bright-colored gauge that appears on the screen, pressing which can make the players parry the special attack of the boss.
After successfully praying the attacks, players can use the shoot button to have a counterattack on the boss, casting devastating damage. Bosses regularly use heavy attacks on the players too, which can be dodged by swiping the screen in the backward direction. Dodging the attacks is purely based on timing, which makes us ask the question of when to know the arrival of heavy attacks, every time the boss is going to cast a heavy attack the eyes will flash, making it obvious that a heavy attack is coming your way. Dodging the attack in the nick of time is essential for surviving longer in the game.
Utilize the pieces of Equipment to their fullest potential
The game offers two types of equipment to be used by the players, melee and long-ranged. Both types have different varying types of equipment offering different bonuses and abilities. Players can also equip their characters with different sets of accessories which helps to offer different skill and power enhancement perks helping in further improving the chances of survival in the game.
Both the equipment and the accessories can be enhanced by the players to give a better cushion against the attacks of the bosses and other enemies in the game. The enhancing process can be done by using the enhancement stones which are available by completing the in-game milestones set by the developers. Now do remember that each item has a limit to which it can be upgraded, however with the help of a wedge of awakening items players can increase the limit of these items and further upgrade them for a better chance of survival.

4. Complete and fight off Monsters in dungeons to have more experience points
Dungeons provide the players with better opportunities and higher-level enemies to test their mettle against. The players hence get better experience points since experience points are directly proportional to the level of enemies you face.
Although providing ample amount of opportunities in terms of leveling up the player, the dungeons are not open for all. They require a specific level for players to be on and also require various entry tickets for every different dungeon. There are various stages when you enter the dungeons, and each dungeon needs a recommended combat power to enter. Combat power can be increased with better skill sets, better levels, and ultimately better equipment.
The dungeons in the game are based on a percentage basis, they end once all 100% of enemies have been eliminated from the dungeon. The rewards are high enough to take the risks, each dungeon keeps on getting harder and harder as you keep on progressing further down the line. Each dungeon gives you many rewards, and the rewards you can obtain in various stages of the dungeons can be seen before entering the stage. Dungeons are a very important way of improving the chances of the game and hence should not be ignored.
