You pay for items with Max HP, and materials become Max HP at wave end. Our tier list puts Demon in C tier: Buys with HP. Strong hands, dangerous habit.

The stat line

• +50% of your Materials are converted into Max HP at the end of a wave (13 Materials=1 Max HP)
• You buy items using Max HP instead of materials

Unlock: Win a run in Danger 5. Winning a run unlocks Obliterator.

How the run plays

Half your materials convert to Max HP at the end of each wave and shops take payment in HP, so the Demon can buy everything and die of it. The discipline is buying what wins the next three waves, not everything on screen. HP-scaling weapons and items turn the giant health pool into damage.

Weapons

Demon fits the Heavy or Blunt classes best. Start with Spoon and hold six weapons of one class for the set bonus; the weapons list shows everything in the Heavy class with per-tier damage.

What to buy, what to skip

HP-scaling damage, Armor, Regen. Never buy below ~40 Max HP.

The shop has no favoured tags for this character.

The mistake that ends runs

Spending down to a sliver of HP in the shop and dying to the first hit of the next wave.
