Demon build: materials into max health

Editorial strategy: recommendations below follow the cited character rules; the source table records the underlying facts.

Build and shop priorities

Demon's shop uses maximum health as currency, while materials feed the health conversion at the end of a wave. Our editorial starting plan is an economical weapon family that clears reliably without forcing repeated emergency purchases. Read every item price as a reduction in the buffer available for the next wave. An attractive offensive purchase can leave the run unable to survive a mistake. Harvesting and collection decisions deserve attention because materials participate in the character's health economy. Keep enough current clearing power to obtain materials instead of saving toward a health total that never becomes useful.

Unlock and clear reward

Demon is unlocked by clearing Danger 5. Its clear reward is Obliterator. The conversion described in the character table uses half the materials at the stated rate, rather than converting the entire wallet freely. Keep this distinction when comparing a normal shopping budget with Demon's health budget, particularly after a low income wave.

Character source:Win a run in Danger 5. Clear reward:Obliterator.

Danger 5 decisions

For Danger 5, decide the minimum health buffer before shopping, then work backward to the purchases that fit. That buffer is an editorial decision based on current defense and recovery, not a fixed universal number. Replacing a functioning weapon solely for a small damage improvement may be a worse trade than entering the next elite encounter with more health.

Nightmare risk planning

Nightmare makes overspending health harder to recover from because enemy pressure increases. Favor upgrades that change whether a threatening wave can be cleared, rather than buying every marginal offensive item. If collection has fallen behind, revisit movement and crowd control before spending the remaining health. Demon's conversion creates an economy loop; it does not remove the need for a viable survival margin.
