The air crackled as the Devil extended a hand. A deal was on the table, power for a price. Hesitation could mean death in Devil Hunter, but a bad bargain? That could be worse. Contracts offer a shortcut to strength, letting you borrow abilities from Devils, but only one race can play this dangerous game, and the cost… the cost is always paid.
Devil Hunter Contracts: Making the Deal
Think of contracts in Devil Hunter as a supernatural handshake. Only Humans can make these deals, a choice that locks in early and defines your path. Approach a Devil, and it’ll offer power – a taste of its own combat skills – in exchange for something you hold dear.
These aren’t minor buffs. We’re talking extra attacks, unique abilities that can completely shift the momentum of a fight. But, like any deal with a Devil, there’s a catch. They might demand body parts, specific objectives, items taken from other players, or even pieces of your lifespan. It’s a high-stakes game where every advantage has a hidden price, not unlike Denji’s arrangement in Chainsaw Man.
Is it better to be a Fiend or a Human in Devil Hunter?
Choosing your race at the beginning is one of the most critical decisions you can make. Humans can make contracts, but Fiends get other perks. If you like the idea of borrowing power, humanity is your best bet. However, if you prefer raw, innate demonic abilities, playing as a Fiend might suit your style better.

What happens if you break a contract?
Contracts in Devil Hunter are as binding as gravity. While the game doesn’t explicitly detail the consequences of breaking a contract, the implications are severe. Think of it as defaulting on a loan with the most ruthless lender imaginable; your character could face penalties ranging from stat debuffs to permanent removal of abilities, or worse.
These contracts are the coins of the rogue. Like a loaded gun, the temptation of power comes with the very real risk of blowing your leg off.
Can you cancel or change a contract in Devil Hunter?
No, once you shake on it, that’s it. These Devils don’t do refunds or exchanges. The sacrifice is permanent, written in digital blood. So, before you commit, triple-check the cost. Make sure the power is worth what you’re giving up.
That wraps up our guide to Devil Hunter contracts. Now, which Devil will you dance with?
