Project Slayers How to Become a Slayer
To learn how to become a Slayer in Project Slayers, reach level 15 and enter the Final Selection Waiting Area when the event is available. Final Selection is the required promotion test for the Slayer path, so leveling alone does not grant the race.
The Final Selection process is separate from ordinary quests. You should arrive prepared for combat rather than treating the waiting area as a normal town location. If your character has already become a Demon or Slayer, you cannot participate in Final Selection again under the same conditions.
The central progression path is simple:
| Requirement | What to do | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Level | Reach level 15 | The minimum requirement for Final Selection |
| Location | Visit Final Selection Waiting Area | This is where you wait for the event |
| Event | Join Final Selection | The promotion test must be completed |
| Result | Finish the selection | Unlocks the Slayer path |
| Follow-up | Choose a katana and breathing style | Builds your main combat setup |
Do not rush to the waiting area under-leveled. Reaching level 15 unlocks access, but comfortable health, dependable attacks, and practiced movement make the selection easier to manage.
Level 15
Reach the required level before searching for Final Selection. Completing unrelated quests and defeating suitable enemies can help you prepare.
Waiting Area
Travel to the Final Selection Waiting Area ahead of the event. Arriving early gives you time to organize your equipment.
Promotion Test
Final Selection is the actual requirement. Entering the waiting area alone does not make your character a Slayer.
Final Selection Schedule and Location
Final Selection is listed at four recurring times: 6:00 AM EST, 11:00 AM EST, 4:00 PM EST, and 10:00 PM EST. These times are useful for planning, but event schedules can be affected by updates or server changes. Check the in-game area and current community information if an event does not appear as expected.
Use the waiting area as your staging point. Before the event begins, check your health, combat controls, and available equipment. A character that reaches level 15 with poor survivability may still struggle during the selection.
| Listed time | Time zone | Recommended action |
|---|---|---|
| 6:00 AM | EST | Arrive before the event opens |
| 11:00 AM | EST | Prepare equipment in the waiting area |
| 4:00 PM | EST | Confirm your character meets level 15 |
| 10:00 PM | EST | Allow extra time for travel and setup |
Follow this location routine:
- Confirm that your character is at least level 15.
- Travel to the Final Selection Waiting Area.
- Arrive before one of the listed event times.
- Remain in the area until Final Selection begins.
- Enter the event and complete its objectives.
The listed schedule uses EST. Convert the times carefully if you play from another region, and allow extra time for server loading or travel.
The Project Slayers Slayer page also lists Final Selection as the required route to becoming a Slayer, along with the level 15 requirement and recurring schedule.
| Before entering | Check |
|---|---|
| Character level | At least 15 |
| Combat readiness | Reliable attacks and familiar controls |
| Survivability | Enough health to recover from mistakes |
| Location | Final Selection Waiting Area |
| Timing | Event time converted to your local schedule |
Step-by-Step Final Selection Route
Use the following process whenever you are ready to attempt the Slayer promotion. The exact objectives inside Final Selection may depend on the current game version, but the preparation route remains consistent.
Reach Level 15
Continue normal progression until your character reaches level 15. Use quests and suitable enemies to build experience while becoming comfortable with basic combat.
Prepare Your Loadout
Equip the combat tools you use most confidently. Review your health, movement, attack timing, and any abilities that can help you escape a dangerous encounter.
Travel to the Waiting Area
Go to the Final Selection Waiting Area before the scheduled event. Avoid waiting until the last moment, especially if you are unfamiliar with the route.
Enter Final Selection
Join the event when it opens. Focus on the objectives, avoid unnecessary fights, and use movement carefully when multiple enemies surround you.
Complete the Test
Finish the selection requirements. Once successful, your character gains access to the Slayer path and its related progression systems.
Final Selection rewards controlled play more than reckless aggression. Keep enough space to react, avoid taking several enemies at once, and use the environment to create safer attack angles. If you are defeated, return to your normal progression route, improve your setup, and try again at the next available event.
The important milestone is not entering the waiting area; it is completing Final Selection successfully. Treat the event as a promotion test with a clear finish condition.
| Stage | Main goal | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|
| Leveling | Reach level 15 | Entering before meeting the requirement |
| Travel | Find the waiting area | Arriving after the event has started |
| Combat | Control enemy groups | Fighting without watching health |
| Selection | Complete the objectives | Ignoring movement and escape options |
| Promotion | Unlock Slayer progression | Assuming access is granted automatically |
What to Do After Becoming a Slayer
After completing Final Selection, your character enters the Slayer progression path. The Slayer organization is designed around protecting humanity from Demons, and the route opens access to Slayer-focused quests and combat development.
A Slayer’s primary combat setup centers on two choices:
- Katana: Your main weapon for direct damage.
- Breathing style: Your ability path, with each style tied to a different trainer and questline.
- Kasugai Crow: A Slayer utility item that can provide access to quests and communication with other Slayers who have a crow called out.
- Uniform: Slayer clothing is part of the organization’s standard appearance, with variants available through locations such as Butterfly Mansion and Wop’s Training Grounds.
| Progression feature | Purpose | Early priority |
|---|---|---|
| Katana | Main close-range weapon | Select a weapon you can control consistently |
| Breathing style | Adds a specialized combat path | Save resources for the trainer questline |
| Kasugai Crow | Shows available Slayer quests | Use it to review and manage quests |
| Uniform | Provides the Slayer appearance | Customize later if resources are limited |
| Slayer quests | Supports ongoing progression | Accept objectives suited to your level |
Breathing styles are learned from specific trainers and require their own quests. The available styles and requirements can vary by map and level. The listed examples include Insect Breathing from Shinobu Kocho at Butterfly Mansion and Thunder Breathing from Jigoro Kuwajima at Zapiwara Mountain. Higher-level styles may require additional resources, including demon horns.
Choose a breathing style based on the trainer location, quest difficulty, and your preferred combat range. You can continue developing as a Slayer without immediately pursuing every available style.
Katana Focus
Favor dependable close-range attacks and practice spacing before challenging stronger enemies.
Breathing Focus
Follow one trainer’s questline at a time instead of scattering resources across several styles.
Quest Focus
Use the Kasugai Crow to review available Slayer objectives and replace quests that do not fit your route.
Survival Focus
Improve health and movement habits so difficult bosses and demon encounters are easier to manage.
Slayer Checklist and Long-Term Progression
Use this checklist after reaching the Slayer path. It keeps your progression organized without forcing you to complete every optional objective immediately.
Slayer Progression Checklist:
- Reach level 15
- Visit the Final Selection Waiting Area
- Complete Final Selection
- Obtain and practice with a katana
- Choose a breathing-style questline
- Use the Kasugai Crow to manage Slayer quests
Once the promotion is complete, focus on a steady progression loop:
- Select manageable Slayer quests through the Kasugai Crow.
- Improve your combat fundamentals against enemies close to your level.
- Save currency and required materials for a breathing-style trainer.
- Learn the route to your chosen trainer before starting the questline.
- Challenge the required boss only after your equipment and movement are ready.
The Slayer path offers more than a race change. It creates a structured route through quests, breathing styles, weapons, and organization-specific utility. Your strongest early gains usually come from completing one clear objective at a time rather than repeatedly changing builds.
| Goal | Suggested timing | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Learn katana combat | Immediately after promotion | Establishes your basic damage pattern |
| Unlock a breathing style | After stabilizing your resources | Trainer quests can require currency and boss fights |
| Use the Kasugai Crow | As soon as available | Helps organize Slayer objectives |
| Pursue advanced styles | At the required level | Higher-level routes may require extra materials |
| Farm boss rewards | When combat feels consistent | Reduces wasted attempts and travel time |
A practical order is promotion first, katana fundamentals second, breathing style third, and advanced boss farming afterward. This keeps your early goals focused and manageable.
