Arrow A
Wielder: Yahaba · 3 moves · Demon path only
Arrow is a utility art whose value comes from combo routes with specific weapons. If your goal is raw damage, reroll for Shockwave or Ice instead — but if you already run a Yahaba or Susamaru party setup, its Disruption Pulse synergy is real. Keep it if the rest of your build leans into it.
Where this tier comes from: Rose to A in the V0.17 pass (was B at launch). Its value is route-dependent rather than raw damage.
How to get Arrow in Slayers 2
Every blood demon art comes from the same place: the random art roll after you become a demon. There is no quest, no trainer and no purchase — you convert on the demon path, ring the Biwa Bell, choose "Give me your power" and take what the roll gives you. Free spins come from codes and level rewards, and a new roll replaces your current art, so check the full arts comparison before you spend. Rolling is genuinely random: community reports describe spins that return nothing at all, so never assume every spin grants an ability.

PvE and PvP profile
PvE
Solid against predictable enemies; its telegraphed setup is far less punishable in PvE than in duels.
PvP
Slow, visible setup gives human opponents time to react — the main reason it is not higher.
Keep Arrow or reroll?
Arrow is Tier A — keep it unless you have a very specific build in mind. It earns its place on the current cross-source tier consensus; burning spins to chase a different art is a lottery with no pity system. Rolling a new art replaces the old one, so know your target before you spin: Shockwave for melee PvP, Ice for all-round control, Blood Sickles for ranged group play.
Clans that pair well with Arrow
Yahaba
Rare · Tier CArrow demons, especially in a party with another Yahaba or Susamaru — the party buff is the only reason it stays on the board.
Kamado
Supreme · Tier SThe safest all-round pick for almost any build. Demons get the most from it: Sun Immunity frees a gear slot and Regen Adrenal only works on the demon path. V0.2 removed Headbutt's guard break, but the stat package still leads.
Susamaru
Rare · Tier CTamari demons, especially in a party with another Susamaru or Yahaba. Outside Tamari, reroll.
Other blood demon arts
Arrow against the field
Arrow's A-tier is a party-tier: alone, its damage is the lowest of the keeps and its setup telegraphs in PvP. With a Yahaba or Susamaru buffing and PvE enemies that don't dodge, the reported 35% Arrow Flight PvE bonus makes it genuinely functional — that is the whole argument.

How Arrow fits the demon meta
The demon path kit is a three-layer stack: your blood demon art, your clan passives, and a fighting style (Soryu at level 65). Arrow is the middle layer — it defines your skill buttons, but the clan decides how hard they hit and the fighting style adds mobility your art lacks. That is why tier lists that rank arts in isolation miss half the picture: Arrow's Tier A status already assumes a reasonable clan behind it. Compare the whole stack on the tier list page, and check the demon-or-slayer guide if you have not converted yet — the art lottery is the single biggest argument between the two paths.
Playing Arrow well
Arrow plays knockback chess: Arrow Push creates space, Arrow Pull breaks spacing, and Vector Slam punishes recovery frames. The art's damage is the lowest of the keeps, so your wins come from terrain — ledges and walls turn pushes into real damage. In PvE the telegraphed setup matters far less, which is where Arrow Flight's reported 35% bonus applies.
Fighting against Arrow
Knowing an art's weaknesses is half of PvP. Against Arrow, the community playbook is: watch the setup: Arrow's attacks telegraph, so the counterplay is patience. Close the gap during the windup, and never fight Arrow on a ledge — its knockback is the damage.
