Project Slayers 2 Wiki & Meta Tier List

The full eight-style roster, the trainer gates and the three published rankings live on the Breathing Styles database.

Project Slayers 1 to 2 Data Transfer Truth

Lead developer Ouw0pp clarified the official compensation and progression policies between Part 1 and Part 2:

• Legendary tier: the weapon is shown as legendary rarity with its own stat panel listing damage and block metrics alongside the move list.
• Tap and hold are separate attacks: one move fires a single-press variant and a held variant that ends in a different finisher, which the creator flags as a deliberate attempt to differentiate skills.
• Obtainable early: the creator stresses that a slayer can pick this weapon up without clearing late-game content first, which makes it relevant to day-one builds.

Transcribed from the captions of a player showcase recorded in the Early Access build. The panel numbers are deliberately not copied across, because stat tuning can change at launch and this is not a developer sheet.

• Points, not just levels: the system exists so that attributes, abilities, skills and clans are no longer scaled purely through level and mastery. Points are earned at level milestones and are described as universal — they can be spent anywhere in the tree rather than being locked to a category.
• Four categories, each doing a different job: breathing or Evil-Art nodes (unlock and upgrade skills, with passives attached to some of them), weapon nodes (with a stated cap on how many weapon skills can be equipped at once, which forces a choice instead of stacking everything), clan nodes (passives tied to the clan, able to change how existing skills behave), and a body branch of pure stat passives such as mobility, stamina, health and regeneration.
• Mastery is streamlined, not removed: the developers say outright that mastery is returning in a less tedious form, and that certain breathing skills still require a mastery threshold before a node can be used. The tree adds freedom; mastery keeps progression meaningful.
• The tree is designed to keep growing: the announcement states that new perks and attributes can be added to existing categories with each update, so a build guide's specific node list has a shorter shelf life than the categories themselves.

Source: Ouw Productions, the game's own channel, published February 22, 2026 as the Reaper Evil Art and skill-tree showcase. It is a pre-release announcement, so treat the four categories as the developer's description of the system's shape rather than as the current node list — the announcement itself says categories expand over time. Transcribed from the video captions; no node names are quoted.

• One accessory answer serves every style: the loadout is not per-breathing. The creator points at the accessory class that grants extra damage and says to prefer its two-damage variants over its one-damage ones, notes that dungeon-dropped masks all belong to that class, and names one boss drop as the accessible version of it. A common early piece is given as a stand-in until higher-level gear outperforms it.
• The endgame weapon lines are not interchangeable: one line is described as the default for almost every style because of its raw damage and scaling, and as the one that gains a bleed effect at its top tier. The alternative line trades that for defensive value instead, which is why the creator calls it the safer pick rather than the weaker one. Two styles effectively have no choice because their weapons are also their unlock requirement.
• Where the style-specific answer does live: a style whose damage is a damage-over-time effect is described as wanting pure damage on the assumption that the effect scales off raw damage, while a style with its own dedicated weapon may prefer that weapon over the default once the scaling catches up. The creator flags their own uncertainty on the later tiers, which is why no per-style verdict is reproduced here.
• Mastery and the tree are part of the build, not a separate grind: mastery is called a large multiplier on scaling, and the tree node that raises additional damage is described as mandatory for every build rather than optional. The same video argues that clan choice should follow the style: a clan's passive can outweigh a higher-rarity generalist for the style it is built around, and the creator singles out Rengoku as the general damage answer while naming Kocho as the clan that beats it specifically on Insect.
• One claim worth flagging rather than repeating: the creator reports that Flame Breathing's burn did not apply on their account until the Rengoku clan was equipped, and concludes the clan applies the burn rather than the style. That contradicts the style description on our Breathing Styles page, and it comes from one partially-leveled account, so it is recorded as an open question to test in your own client rather than as a fact.

Clan names are spelled here as this site spells them, not as the captions produced them, and no stat percentages are reproduced because the creator reads them off tooltips that automatic captions garble. Build claims are one player's testing on a non-maxed account and can move with any balance patch.

• Sun immunity: a wearable hat from a central-area chest (hourly refresh, costs around 10,000, occupies an equipment slot). Dungeon/chest hats and one clan line also grant it.
• Cold immunity:the House clan gives it permanently, or the Amber Heart Lantern from the Yeti (summon with a Frozen Heart from chests/black market; boss gated around level 50–60) grants timed protection when you stand on bonfires.
• Where each matters: sun immunity removes open-world daytime chipping; cold immunity removes the snowy-region chipping. Neither blocks progression, but both let you fight freely in their zones.

• Titles are permanent damage: a ten-million-damage milestone at a cave statue grants a title with a damage boost and passive, claimed once and kept.
• Upgrade carryover: transferring upgrade bonuses between weapons (around 7,500 + materials, ~30% success) lets you build a secondary without resetting your main; rank ten is the real spike.
• No-clan damage gear: a lantern (+2 damage and a multiplier), a bamboo nozzle (+2), a stone haori (+2), and a fire haori for scaling. A damage clan like Rengoku pushes per-hit damage much higher.
