Ever feel like you’re swinging a wet noodle against a horde of devils? I know the feeling. In Devil Hunter, just hacking away isn’t going to cut it. That’s where Fiend Talents come in. They’re like that extra shot of espresso when you’re facing down a boss that just won’t quit.
I’ve spent hours experimenting with different builds in Devil Hunter, and trust me, the right Fiend Talents can turn a tough fight into a stylish victory. This guide is all about helping you find those game-changing talents.
1. What are Fiend Talents in Devil Hunter?
Think of Fiend Talents as passive abilities that seriously buff your hunter. They boost everything from normal attacks to critical hits, giving you unique primary attacks and powerful advantages in combat. And no, you can’t get them through cheat codes—but you *can* reset your skill points to experiment.
There are over 10 Fiend Talents to choose from. Which one is right for you? Let’s break them down.

Here’s a rundown of each Fiend Talent, what it does, and how to snag it for yourself:

3. How Do You Unlock Devil Hunter Fiend Talents?
Unlocking a Fiend Talent means getting your hands dirty (literally). You need to consume a specific devil body part after meeting some…demanding kill conditions. Here’s how it works:
- First, get your kill count up: Defeat 25 enemies of the specific devil type that holds the talent you desire.
- Use Smell: During combat, use the Fiend skill “Smell” to monitor your kill counter.
- Keep Hunting: After reaching 25/25, continue eliminating that devil until they drop their precious body part.
- Bon appétit!: Consume the dropped body part to unlock your new Fiend Talent.
I once spent a solid hour farming Frog Devils for that Tongue Snatch talent. Let me tell you, pulling enemies toward you with every attack is ridiculously satisfying.
4. Is It Possible to Get More Fiend Talent Slots?
You start with three Fiend Talent slots, which feels a bit tight once you get rolling. But don’t worry; you *can* expand them by completing a questline. Here’s what to do:
- Find Violence Fiend: Locate and chat with the Violence Fiend NPC.
- Accept the Quest: Take on the Fiend Talent expansion quests.
- Finish the Questline: Complete all the quests to boost your total Fiend Talent slots to five.
Can you change or remove Fiend Talents in Devil Hunter?
Yes, swapping out your Fiend Talents is easy. Just head to your inventory to change your active ones. You can also visit the Violence Fiend NPC to swap talents, change their appearance, or even remove cosmetic effects.
Do Fiend Talents stack with weapon effects in Devil Hunter?
Absolutely! Fiend Talents stack with weapon damage, critical effects, and those sweet playstyle bonuses. This is why picking the right talent is so important – some combos are just devastating. I noticed a huge difference when I paired Razorfin with a high-damage uppercut weapon.
What happens if you choose the wrong Fiend Talent?
Don’t sweat it! The game allows you to adjust your build. You can always swap out Fiend Talents to better suit your playstyle or the challenges you are facing.
