Slayers 2 has a special ranked PvP mode where players can compete for exclusive titles based on their Breathing Style or Blood Demon Art. If you are aiming to become a Hashira as a Demon Slayer or an Upper Moon as a Demon, this is one of the main features you should pay attention to before the current ranked season ends.
The system is fairly simple, but reaching the required position can be difficult because you are competing against other players using the same type of ability. Your equipment, level, build, and PvP skills can all make a difference when trying to climb the leaderboard.
Go to Zenith From the Hub
The first step is finding the Zenith game mode. You can access it directly from the main menu in Slayers 2.
From the main menu, open the Hub and look for Zenith. Once you enter this mode, you can queue up for its ranked PvP matches and start earning progress toward the leaderboard.
Zenith is different from normal PvP because you are not simply placed against random players. The mode groups players according to the Breathing Style or BDA they are currently using.
How Zenith Matches Work
Zenith works as a competitive PvP mode where players with the same Breathing Style or Blood Demon Art compete against each other. This system is used because every group is fighting for the title connected to that specific ability.
For example, if you are using Flame Breathing, you will fight other players who are also using Flame Breathing. The same idea applies to Blood Demon Arts. Some examples include:
- Flame Breathing players fight other Flame Breathing users.
- Shockwave BDA users fight other Shockwave users.
- Blood BDA users compete against other Blood BDA users.
- Other Breathing Styles and BDAs have their own leaderboard groups.
Because of this system, you are directly competing with players who want the same title as you.
Reach the Top 1% of the Leaderboard
Winning matches is important, but the main goal is reaching a high enough position on your Zenith leaderboard. According to the information shared by the developer, players need to finish within the top 1% to receive the seasonal Hashira or Upper Moon title.
There is also a minimum of 100 players for the title slots. This means the exact number of players receiving the reward can depend on how many people are competing in that particular ranking group.
The titles are connected to the current season. For example, Season 1 can award titles such as the Season 1 Wind Hashira, Season 1 Ins Hashira, or Season 1 Shock Moon titles, depending on the player’s category.
Prepare Your Build Before Playing Zenith
Zenith is not necessarily the best place for new or low-level players to jump into immediately. Since you are fighting other players in a competitive environment, having weak equipment can put you at a major disadvantage.
Players with stronger gear, better builds, and more experience can deal with fights much more easily. If your character is still underleveled or your equipment is not ready for PvP, you may struggle to climb the leaderboard. Before spending a lot of time in Zenith, make sure you have:
- A strong weapon.
- Good armor and equipment.
- A suitable Breathing Style or BDA build.
- Enough levels for your build.
- Experience using your abilities in PvP.
- A setup that matches your preferred fighting style.
Your skill still matters, but having a properly prepared character can make the climb much easier.
How to Get Hashira Rank
If you are playing as a Demon Slayer and want the Hashira title, you need to enter Zenith with your chosen Breathing Style and compete against other users of that same Breathing Style.
For example, Flame Breathing users are competing for the Flame Hashira-related ranking. Your objective is to win enough matches and climb above the other players in your category.
The important part is not simply entering Zenith. You need to maintain a high position on the leaderboard when the season finishes.
How to Get Upper Moon Rank
The process is similar for Demon players. Instead of competing through a Breathing Style, your leaderboard is based on your Blood Demon Art.
If you use Shockwave BDA, for example, you will be placed against other Shockwave players. Blood BDA users will have their own competition as well.
The same top-ranking requirement applies. You need to reach the required leaderboard position before the ranked season ends if you want the seasonal Upper Moon title.
Why the First Season Can Be a Good Opportunity
The number of players competing in some Zenith categories is still relatively small. This can leave more available spots for players who want to chase a Hashira or Upper Moon title.
Some Breathing Styles and BDAs may have fewer active competitors than others. Because of that, players who find a less crowded category could have a different level of competition compared with heavily populated categories.
However, this can change as more players discover Zenith and start playing ranked PvP. A leaderboard that is easier to climb now may become more competitive later.
What Rewards Do You Get?
The seasonal ranking is not only about getting a special title. Developer information also mentions rewards and limited vanity items connected to the ranked system.
The exact vanity rewards were not fully shown at the time of the information provided, so players may need to wait for the developers to reveal more details.
There are also plans for additional rewards after the ranked season ends. The developer mentioned that another mode would arrive a few days after the rank season, along with Win and Material rewards.
This gives players another reason to pay attention to the end of the season.
Tips for Climbing the Zenith Leaderboard
Getting into the top 1% will take more than simply playing a few matches. Since you are competing against players with the same abilities, understanding your own build is especially important.
Try to focus on one build instead of constantly changing your setup. Learn your Breathing Style or BDA’s attack range, cooldowns, combos, and weaknesses.
It is also useful to improve your equipment before seriously pushing the leaderboard. A strong setup can help you survive longer and give you more opportunities to win difficult matches.
Most importantly, keep playing consistently. Zenith is a leaderboard-based mode, so one or two wins will not automatically give you the title.
Getting a Hashira or Upper Moon title in Slayers 2 requires you to compete in the Zenith ranked PvP mode. You can find Zenith through the Hub from the main menu, then queue into matches against players using the same Breathing Style or Blood Demon Art as you.
The main target is reaching the top 1% of your leaderboard, with at least 100 title slots mentioned by the developer. Strong equipment, a good build, and solid PvP skills can help you during the climb.
Since the titles are seasonal, players who want a Season 1 title should focus on their leaderboard position before the current season ends.
