Devil Hunter Yen Farming Guide

Goal: Earn 70K+ Yen per day consistently without gambling

Target Audience: All players level 20+


The Optimal Daily Routine

Total Time: ~2 hours Total Yen: 70K+ Consistency: 100% (no RNG)

Routine Breakdown

Daily Missions (30 mins) → 15K Yen
Bat Devil Raid x3 (45 mins) → 30K Yen
PvP Wins x5 (30 mins) → 25K Yen
─────────────────────────────────
TOTAL: ~2 hours → 70K Yen

Why this works:

  • No gambling (consistent income)
  • Time-efficient (35K Yen/hour)
  • Sustainable (can do daily)
  • All tasks have skill-based success

Income Source #1: Daily Missions (CRITICAL)

Income: 15K Yen Time: 30 minutes Priority: HIGHEST (always do this first)

Why Daily Missions Matter

  • Time-gated: Resets every 24 hours
  • Guaranteed: No RNG, 100% success rate
  • Essential: Missing one day = -15K Yen
  • Accumulates: Miss 10 days = -150K (that's an S-tier contract)

Rule: NEVER skip daily missions. Log in even on busy days.

Daily Mission Types

1. Combat Missions (5-10 mins)

  • "Defeat 20 enemies in any mode"
  • "Win 3 PvE battles"
  • "Complete 1 raid"

2. Social Missions (2-5 mins)

  • "Join a group raid"
  • "Add 1 friend"
  • "Send 3 emotes"

3. Collection Missions (5-10 mins)

  • "Collect 10 resources"
  • "Open 5 chests"
  • "Talk to 3 NPCs"

4. Time Investment Missions (10-15 mins)

  • "Play for 15 minutes"
  • "Complete 2 contracts worth of activities"
  • "Reach X location"

Optimization Strategy

The 30-Minute Clear:

  1. Log in: Check mission board (0 mins)
  2. Quick missions: Social + Collection first (10 mins)
  3. Combat bundle: Do combat missions during PvE farming (15 mins)
  4. Time investment: Auto-completes while doing other activities (5 mins)

Pro tip: Do combat missions WHILE farming raids. Double efficiency.

What If You Miss a Day?

Impact Analysis:

  • Miss 1 day: -15K Yen (recoverable)
  • Miss 3 days: -45K Yen (sets you back 2 days)
  • Miss 7 days: -105K Yen (major setback)
  • Miss 14 days: -210K Yen (that's 6 days of full routine)

If you missed multiple days:

  1. Don't panic
  2. Start fresh today
  3. Focus on consistency from now on
  4. You'll catch up in 2-3 days of full routine

Remember: Yesterday's losses are gone. Today is Day 1.


Income Source #2: Bat Devil Raid Farming

Income: 30K Yen (3 runs × 10K each) Time: 45 minutes Priority: HIGH

Why Bat Devil Raid?

Compared to other raids:

Raid Yen/Run Time/Run Yen/Hour Difficulty
Bat Devil 10K 15 mins 40K Medium
Spider Devil 12K 25 mins 28.8K Hard
Control Devil 15K 35 mins 25.7K Very Hard

Bat Devil wins on Yen/hour efficiency (even though drop is smaller).

Optimal Bat Raid Strategy

Solo Clear (15 mins):

Phase 1: Entry (2 mins)

  • Use Violence Devil or Fox Devil
  • Clear entry mobs efficiently
  • Don't waste abilities on trash

Phase 2: Boss Fight (10 mins)

  • Dodge sonic scream (one-shot kill)
  • Attack during wing cooldown
  • Save burst for 30% HP (enrage phase)

Phase 3: Exit (3 mins)

  • Collect loot (10K Yen + drops)
  • Reset for next run

Group Clear (8 mins):

  • 40% faster with competent group
  • Coordinate burst damage
  • Share Yen split (still 10K each)

Daily Run Limits

Bat Devil has 3 FREE runs per day:

  • Run #1: 10K Yen
  • Run #2: 10K Yen
  • Run #3: 10K Yen
  • Run #4+: Requires 5K Yen entry fee (not worth it)

Math: After 3 runs, you're paying to play. Stop at 3.

Common Mistakes

Running raids beyond 3 free runs: You're spending Yen to earn Yen ❌ Choosing harder raids for "better drops": Time efficiency matters more ❌ Solo when undergeared: Join groups if clear time >20 mins

Do this instead: 3 Bat runs, use saved time for PvP Yen


Income Source #3: PvP Wins

Income: 25K Yen (5 wins × 5K each) Time: 30 minutes (assuming 60% win rate) Priority: MEDIUM (can be skipped if time-limited)

Why PvP for Yen?

Benefits:

  • Good Yen/hour (50K/hour if you win fast)
  • Improves PvP skills
  • Counts towards rank climb
  • No entry fees

Drawbacks:

  • Win-dependent (lose = no Yen)
  • Tilt risk (affects other activities)
  • Skill-gated (new players struggle)

Win Rate Optimization

If your win rate is:

  • 70%+: PvP is your best Yen source (prioritize this)
  • 50-70%: PvP is decent (do after raids)
  • 30-50%: PvP is break-even (skip if you don't enjoy)
  • <30%: Focus on PvE until you improve

Reality check: Most players have 50% win rate by definition (matchmaking).

Fast Win Strategies

Goal: 6-8 minute matches

#1: Use Meta Contracts

  • Future Devil or Ghost Devil
  • Win faster with better tools

#2: Aggressive Playstyle

  • End fights quickly (win or lose fast)
  • Don't play for draw

#3: Target Weaker Opponents

  • If you notice an opponent struggle, capitalize
  • Not BM, just efficient

#4: Surrender Lost Matches

  • If you're down 70% HP at 2 mins, surrender
  • Save 4 mins, queue next match
  • 5 fast losses < 1 slow win in time spent

The Mental Game

Tilt Management:

After 2 losses in a row:

  1. Take 5-minute break
  2. Do 1 Bat raid clear (refresh mindset)
  3. Return to PvP with clear head

Why this works:

  • Tilt loses more games
  • Break prevents tilt spiral
  • Raid clear = guaranteed Yen + confidence boost

Mindset: You need 5 wins, not a winstreak. Losses are fine.


Income Source #4: Code Redemption (One-Time)

Income: 275K Yen (one-time bonus) Time: 5 minutes Priority: CRITICAL (do immediately)

Current Active Codes (January 2026)

Visit Quick Start Guide for always-updated code list.

Why codes matter:

  • Equivalent to 18 days of daily routine
  • Enough for 1-2 S-tier contracts
  • Time-limited (expire in 3-7 days)

If you already redeemed codes:

  • Check back monthly for new codes
  • Game updates often include new codes
  • Join Discord #codes channel for instant notifications

Advanced Yen Maximization

Strategy:

  • Buy low-tier contracts from Dealer when discounted
  • Resell to Black Market for 30% profit

Why this is risky:

  • Requires 50K+ Yen capital
  • Market prices fluctuate
  • Can lose money on bad timing

Only attempt if:

  • You have 200K+ Yen buffer
  • You understand market cycles
  • You're willing to lose 10K learning

Most players should skip this. The effort-to-reward ratio isn't worth it.

Time-Gated Content Priority

When you have limited time, prioritize in this order:

  1. Daily Missions (15K, 30 mins) ← NEVER SKIP
  2. Bat Raid x3 (30K, 45 mins) ← High value
  3. PvP Wins x5 (25K, 30 mins) ← If you enjoy/good at PvP
  4. Story Progression (variable) ← Only after dailies
  5. Exploration (0 Yen) ← Lowest priority for Yen farming

Logic: Time-gated = highest priority. Can't make it up later.


Weekly Yen Goals

Week 1 (with Codes)

Target: 350K Yen

  • Codes: 275K
  • Daily Routine x7: 70K × 7 = 490K
  • Total: 765K

Spending Plan:

  • S-tier Contract #1: 150K
  • S-tier Contract #2: 150K
  • Emergency Fund: 200K
  • Upgrades: 265K

Week 2+ (without Codes)

Target: 490K Yen per week

  • Daily Routine x7: 70K × 7 = 490K

Weekly Budget:

  • Raid Entry Fees: 0 (using free runs)
  • Upgrades: 50K
  • Savings: 440K

At this rate:

  • 1 S-tier contract every 4 days
  • 2 S-tier contracts every 8 days

Common Yen Mistakes

Mistake #1: Gambling at Contract Dealer

What players think:

  • "I'll get lucky this time"
  • "Just one more spin"
  • "The S-tier is coming"

What actually happens:

  • Average cost: 33K for S-tier
  • 25% spend 50K+ before success
  • Some spend 100K+ (worst case)

Math doesn't lie:

  • Contract Dealer expected value: -3K Yen per spin
  • You're paying 3K for a 27% chance
  • Over time, you ALWAYS lose

Never gamble. Ever. Save for guaranteed Black Market.

Mistake #2: Buying Low-Tier Contracts

What players do:

  • Buy B-tier contracts (50K each)
  • "Need contracts for my build"
  • End up with 3 B-tiers and no S-tier

Why this is wrong:

  • B-tier contracts are weak endgame
  • 50K × 3 = 150K (that's 1 S-tier)
  • You're delaying your power spike

Correct priority:

  1. Get 1 S-tier first
  2. Then consider B-tiers for synergy
  3. Never buy C-tier (use Fox Devil instead)

Mistake #3: Ignoring Group Raids

What players do:

  • Solo raid: 15 mins per clear
  • 3 raids = 45 mins total
  • Burn out from repetition

What they should do:

  • Group raid: 8 mins per clear
  • 3 raids = 24 mins total
  • Save 21 mins for other activities

How to find groups:

  • Type "/lfg raid" in global chat
  • Join Discord raid channels
  • Add active players as friends

Objection: "I don't want to socialize"

Answer: You don't have to. Group raids require zero conversation. Just join, do damage, leave.


Long-Term Yen Planning

30-Day Projection

Daily Income: 70K Yen Monthly Total: 70K × 30 = 2,100K Yen

Monthly Budget (Example):

Expense Cost Priority
S-tier Contracts (2-3) 450K Critical
Upgrades 300K High
Raid Supplies 150K Medium
Emergency Fund 500K High
Experimentation 200K Low
Savings 500K Medium

Total: 2,100K (balanced budget)

Yen Milestones

Day 1: 70K (first daily routine) Day 3: 210K (can afford second S-tier with codes) Week 1: 490K (solid build foundation) Day 10: 700K (comfortable buffer) Week 2: 980K (approaching 1M) Day 20: 1,400K (can afford emergencies) Day 30: 2,100K (endgame viable)

At Day 30 with optimal farming, you can:

  • Own 3-4 S-tier contracts
  • Max 1-2 contracts fully
  • Have 500K emergency fund
  • Never worry about Yen again

FAQ

"What if I can only play 1 hour per day?"

Priority routine (1 hour):

  1. Daily Missions (30 mins) → 15K
  2. Bat Raid x2 (30 mins) → 20K Total: 35K Yen/day

30-day projection: 1,050K Yen

Verdict: Still viable. Takes twice as long, but works.

"Is it worth paying for faster Yen?"

NO. Game is designed around F2P earning rates.

Paying for Yen:

  • Costs real money
  • Ruins sense of progression
  • Creates unhealthy spending habits
  • Still have skill gap to overcome

Better investment: Spend $0, invest time learning mechanics.

"I fell behind everyone else. Can I catch up?"

YES. Yen advantage is temporary.

Skill advantage is permanent:

  • Rich player with poor mechanics loses to skilled F2P
  • Yen buys tools, not skill
  • PvP is ultimately skill-based

Catching up timeline:

  • Week 1: You'll be behind
  • Week 2: Gap narrows
  • Week 3: Nearly equal (1 S-tier vs their 2-3)
  • Week 4: Equal footing (your skill might surpass theirs)

Remember: Whales quit. Skilled players stay.


Summary: Your Daily Checklist

Every day, do this in order:

  1. ☐ Log in (check new codes if Monday)
  2. ☐ Check daily mission board
  3. ☐ Complete quick missions (10 mins)
  4. ☐ Run Bat Raid x3 (45 mins)
  5. ☐ Complete remaining daily missions (15 mins)
  6. ☐ PvP for 5 wins (30 mins) OR skip if tired
  7. ☐ Track total Yen earned (aim for 70K+)
  8. ☐ Plan tomorrow's goals

Total time: 1.5-2 hours depending on PvP

Consistency beats intensity. Doing this 80% of days beats going hard for 3 days then quitting.
