If you’ve been struggling to figure out which contracts are actually worth grinding, you’re not alone. A lot of players waste weeks building contracts that fall off hard once real PvP starts. I’ve tested these, fought against them, and studied what the dev balance team themselves use. This Devil Hunter Contract Tier List reflects what actually wins fights, clears raids, and survives real servers.
Devil Hunter Contract Tier List – Best Devils & Contract
S TIER CONTRACTS
These contracts control fights and dictate who wins ganks, raids, and bounty hunts.
Snake
Snake is absolute dominance in PvE. It melts NPCs, handles raids effortlessly, and farms boss zones faster than anything else. If your goal is grinding levels, raids, or boss farming, Snake is your best friend. In PvP it drops a tier because of end-lag, but in PvE it’s straight S tier.
Tomato Devil
Tomato is quietly one of the strongest PvE contracts in the entire game. The respawn effect lets you brute-force content and survive areas that would normally wipe you. When you’re farming dangerous zones, Tomato makes the game forgiving and efficient.
Mantis (PvP)
Mantis is terrifying in PvP. Its speed, pressure, and combo flow make it perfect for aggressive players. If you like rushing people, breaking blocks, and deleting health bars fast, this contract is for you.
A TIER CONTRACTS
These contracts are reliable, deadly, and scale well in real fights.
Leech
Leech is amazing for sustained fights. It stuns, drains, and keeps you alive longer than most contracts. It’s slightly weaker than before because of the health cap, but it’s still one of the best PvE and PvP sustain tools in the game.
Cucumber
Cucumber’s projectile control makes it extremely good in both PvE and PvP. It pressures from range, forces dodges, and opens combo windows. This is a very underrated pick that performs way better than people expect.
Curse (PvP)
Curse is one of those contracts people love to downplay, but once you actually fight skilled Curse users, you realize how oppressive it is. It has sword synergy, good pressure, and very reliable damage output in PvP.
B TIER CONTRACTS
These are good, but they depend heavily on your playstyle and matchup.
Ghost
Ghost shines in PvE thanks to its infinite slap pressure on NPCs. It’s very good for farming, but it’s easier to deal with in PvP once players learn your rhythm.
Octopus
Octopus sits close to Ghost. It’s reliable, balanced, and performs well in both modes, but doesn’t dominate the way Snake or Mantis does.
Stone
Stone performs better in PvE than people think, especially in multi-NPC raids. It doesn’t scale well into PvP though, which keeps it from climbing higher.
C TIER CONTRACTS
These can work, but only in very specific situations.
Zombie
Zombie is mostly a PvE utility contract. You can spawn NPCs you’ve killed, but the damage output is low and it doesn’t help much in PvP. It’s useful for certain farm routes, but that’s about it.
Frog (Talent)
Frog is weak. Even after buffs and nerf rumors, it still underperforms in real fights. You can use it, but you’re basically handicapping yourself compared to meta options.
D TIER CONTRACTS
These contracts don’t scale well and are not worth building seriously.
They struggle in PvP, fall off in PvE, and are generally outclassed by everything above.
If you want fast progress and strong PvP presence, focus your grind around Snake, Tomato, Mantis, Leech, and Cucumber. These contracts give you control, survivability, and kill pressure that actually matter in real servers.
Ghost and Octopus are good stepping stones, but they shouldn’t be your final destination. Zombie and Frog are niche and should only be used if you specifically enjoy their mechanics.
