Tamari B
Wielder: Susamaru · 3 moves · Demon path only
Tamari is currently considered one of the weaker arts for solo play: more suitable for PvE than PvP, and outperformed in both by stronger options. Its one real niche is a party built around Susamaru's Tamari Regen. If you roll it outside that setup, use the ARTRESET code or spins to reroll.
Where this tier comes from: C during the September snapshot, B after later passes — either way it sits at the bottom of the keep list for most players.
How to get Tamari 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.

Keep Tamari or reroll?
Tamari sits at Tier B — most players reroll it unless they run the specific party or weapon setup it supports. Use the ARTRESET code for a free Evil Art reset, or spend spins from active codes. 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.

Yahaba

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.
Other blood demon arts
Tamari against the field
Tamari is the cautionary tale of the art pool: fun projectiles, lowest launch damage, dodgeable everything. Its Susamaru party niche is real but narrow — and it is the art most players point to when explaining why the ARTRESET code exists.

How Tamari 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). Tamari 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: Tamari's Tier B placement is exactly why the reroll loop exists. 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 Tamari well
Tamari is honest about what it is: ranged poke (Tamari Throw, Six-Arm Volley, Ricochet) with the lowest damage of the launch arts. If you keep it for a Susamaru party build, play the buffer — your value is the party buff stacking, not your own damage. Everyone else: ARTRESET.
Fighting against Tamari
Knowing an art's weaknesses is half of PvP. Against Tamari, the community playbook is: walk forward. Tamari's projectiles are dodgeable on reaction and its damage is the lowest of the launch arts — closing range removes both the damage and the threat.
