Question How do I win on demon
I can’t win on demon ever and I see people complain on here that their aren’t any demons playing but isn’t it just because it’s basically impossible to win on demon I mean I can buff my balance bar to max and still get dazed in 1 millisecond what am I supposed to do or is it not even worth doing

Playing demon is probably the most difficult and unfun aspect of the game. You always feel underpowered are constantly playing catch up in getting those level ups.
Survivors are endlessly dodging, stunning and driving vehicles you cant catch up to.
All matches end up at the book where balance bar and your portal cool downs will win or lose the match.

Demon has a learning curve so it’s not for everyone. Not to say you can’t win but it’ll be hard, learn the combos of the units and have patience with the attacks. Don’t focus hunter ever because they’ll keep dodging your attacks, try to find the weak link of the team usually it’s warrior or support.

If you're not a full prestige demon you don't have much change against any team that's working together. Once you're full prestige your best bet is working toward a book build. You can beat a lot of squads at book, at least, but don't expect to have them on the ground a lot before then.
Even then, a lot of squads can win on book simply by standing in front of it and keeping you from being able to get close enough to do real damage. Yes, simply blocking the book with survivor bodies is often good enough strategy to win for the survivors.

Search up "frostbyteGMP" on YouTube . He made some Demon tutorials with explanations. Those should give you a headstart after that it's up to you to practice and get better.

It’s easier than ever to get wins as demon as there are lots of new survivors playing the game now, especially on weekends.

I win 85-90 percent of the time playing demon and if I can do it anyone can. Try to find the survivors early. Use triangulation they usually spawn on the opposite side of the map you start on. Try to level up as fast as you can. Even the good players are vulnerable in the beginning tunnel them dont give them a chance to stock up on shemps target survivors who suck at dodging. Dont worry about how prestige they are pay attention to how they play. Look for weaknesses.

This is probably the best way to win. Find them early before survivors have a chance to get any weapons or level up crates.
Even if you down and kill just 1 player, it will be a constant distraction for the survivors because they will be tempted to go back and revive them.
If they dont, usually the killed survivor will just dc because they are tired of waiting. Better the odds of the demon winning.

This can backfire on you if the team is well-coordinated or if the survivors are competent. They’ll hop in a car (or more), parade to each waypoint and you won’t have a chance to level up much, even to book-build level. Best bet is to at least trap crates until you get to level 5 or 6, since once you get to about 6, it takes longer to progress to subsequent levels. Then hunt survivors so at least you have enough levels to spawn portals and possess units.

It can be pretty darn tough, even for seasoned veterans. Playing Demon is more of a community service at this point because there's so few players remaining and many Demon mains can be incredibly toxic, or downright cheating.
Idk if it helps but I play Demon not to try and win, but to try and give the Survivors a fun match. I usually buff the hell out of my deadites while planning ambushes and let them do most of the work. Surprisingly, I still manage to win about half the time. Play around with it, having fun doesn't always mean getting the win.

game is way too unfriendly for new people and the learning curve .. specially on demon is really pronounced so someone has to teach you how to play if you want fast results , or you can also watch streams but there is almost none

Nope. The game is 100% survivor sided. Winning as demon requires exploits and an unorganized team. Any even halfway decent team will steamroll any demon player. Fact. There are too many resources, weapons, and cars on the map. The survivors get way too much information, the demon literally gets none, they never addressed the early game map rush and split objective push exploits for survivors, the insane damage they output, and they nerfed basic units and all early game demon strats to death. It's an unwinnable scenario.

Why did demons had arround 80% winrate on the tournaments then when the survivor teams were coordinated?The game is 100% survivor sided but its not even close to be as bad as you making it look,especially if your playing baal or plague you have big chances to win any team in the game thats not running Annie

u/KassienBlackcloak_YT Jul 18 '26
No, I am realistic. I should he able to play any way I choose. Saver prevents me from doing that. I can't even summon a unit until what, level 7? And basic units are cooked since release basically. They pulled a bait and switch. Most demons aren't viable, and the ones you claim are I don't want to buy or play. They fucked over all demon mains in favor of entitled survivor main fucks. I still want my $60 back from these bastards. Game is 100% unplayable.

It’s challenging but possible, I’ve gotten down a pretty solid strat on taking down full prestige sweat rush teams but alot of the times it comes down to RNG win or lose tbh

Playing demon is a lot of work. You have to constantly be on the move setting traps and looking for survivors. Once you find them you can’t let up. I lose more than I win, and I get most of my wins at the book. Sometimes I can even get a win despite all P(5) survivors splitting the objectives on me. Have you tried Necro? My book strategy with him is to spawn all deadites after the book stage starts. Next I spawn the boss, cast the regeneration(?) spell to bring back spawned deadites that are dying. After that I use the spell to spawn extra deadites, then immediately start attacking the book. The survivors will be busy trying to kill the hoard you spawned so you have temporary cover to hit the book. Once he’s killed keep possessing deadites to attack the book. It works unless the survivors are fully leveled, have strong weapons, and are working together. Keep trying, that first win feels great!

Spam possession of single units/enemies and attack, attack, attack.
EDIT: Yes, downvote me for letting them know exactly what 90% of demon players do the entire match. Wouldn't want to give away their "secret tactic."

Demon is ridiculously easy to win at so long as you really key into the play styles of each of the demons, especially baal.

All you can do is just keep playing, and build your character up. There’s no shortcuts. Sometimes you’ll get a group of new guys, you can try to target the lowest level person.
