Overview of the demonfall rengoku clan
The demonfall rengoku clan stands as one of the most coveted bloodlines in the game, rivaling the Kamado clan in terms of raw offensive potential and prestige. Players who manage to roll this clan gain an immediate advantage when pursuing the path of a Flame Breather. Not only does it provide a passive damage boost to all fire-based attacks, but it also grants access to the iconic Ninth Form, a move that can clear entire waves of demons in the Final Selection or deal massive chunks of health to bosses.

How to Obtain and Roll the Rengoku Clan
Acquiring the demonfall rengoku clan is largely a matter of luck and resource management. Most players start by using the free spins provided by codes or daily rewards. However, due to the 1% rarity, many veterans find themselves spending Robux to secure the clan. Once you have successfully rolled Rengoku, your character will spawn with unique features, including the signature reddish-orange eyes and access to the Rengoku wig and cape in your inventory.
Damage Scaling
- Flame Boost: Increases the base damage of all Flame Breathing forms.
- Burn Effect: Adds a lingering fire DoT (Damage over Time) to hits.
Exclusive Access
- Ninth Form: The only way to use the "Rengoku" move.
- Special Hilt: Allows the use of the unique Rengoku sword guard.
Cosmetic Perks
- Iconic Cape: Includes the flame-patterned haori.
- Visual Effects: Enhanced fire particles during combat.
If you have an alt account, try to roll the Hoganizuka Clan on it. This clan receives a 5x bonus when selling ores. You can mine on your Rengoku main, drop the ores for your alt, and sell them for massive Yen profits to fund your sword forging.
Unlocking Flame Breathing: Step-by-Step
Once you are part of the demonfall rengoku clan, your next objective is to master Flame Breathing. Unlike some styles that are taught in villages, Flame Breathing requires you to venture to the dangerous heights of White Peak. You will need to prove your worth to the Rengoku NPC by completing two difficult collection tasks.
Locate the NPC
Travel to White Peak. The Rengoku NPC is located high up on the mountain, often standing near the edge overlooking the valley.
Gather Demon Horns
You must collect 20 Demon Horns. These drop from basic demons found throughout the map, especially at night or in caves.
Defeat the Demon Boss
The NPC will ask for a Demon Collar. You must find and kill the specific demon boss in the cave at White Peak to obtain this item.
Final Training
Return to the NPC with the items. He will grant you the Flame Breathing style, unlocking the first five forms in your skill tree.
White Peak is extremely cold and filled with high-level demons. Ensure you have enough soup for health regeneration before attempting the climb.
| Requirement | Quantity | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Demon Horns | 20 | Basic Demon Drops |
| Demon Collar | 1 | White Peak Cave Boss |
| Skill Points | Variable | Leveling up via combat |
| Yen | 0 | The training itself is free once items are provided |
Flame Breathing Moveset and Ninth Form
The true power of the demonfall rengoku clan lies in its expanded moveset. While standard Flame Breathers stop at the fifth form, Rengoku clan members can unlock the Ninth Form: Rengoku. This move involves a high-speed dash that creates a massive fire dragon, dealing multi-hit damage to anyone caught in its path.
| Form Number | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| First Form | Unknowing Fire | A high-speed charge followed by a single slash. |
| Second Form | Rising Scorching Sun | An upward arched slash perfect for launching enemies. |
| Third Form | Flame Bend | A circular slash that deflects incoming projectiles. |
| Fourth Form | Blooming Flame Undulation | A defensive counter-move that parries attacks. |
| Fifth Form | Flame Tiger | A series of slashes that take the form of a tiger. |
| Ninth Form | Rengoku | Clan Exclusive: A devastating dash with massive AOE. |
To maximize these moves, go to Kamakari Village and buy a Boulder for 300 Yen. Use it to train your breathing until your stamina bar no longer drains while holding your breath. This allows you to spam forms without pause.
Forging the Flame Nichirin
To complete your transformation into the Flame Hashira, you must forge a custom Flame Nichirin. This requires traveling to the Slayer Headquarters and speaking with the blacksmith. Note that the default color is random, so you may need to reroll to get the iconic red blade.
| Item | Cost | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Slayer Nichirin | Free | Complete Final Selection |
| Flame Nichirin | 10,000 Yen | 1 Crystal Essence + 20 Sun Ore |
| Color Reroll | 3,000 Yen | Random chance for Red/Orange |
| Rengoku Hilt | Special | Requires Rengoku Clan membership |
If you have Robux to spare, rerolling the blade color costs 50 Robux. Red is the most accurate for a Rengoku build, but Orange also complements the flame effects well.
Endgame Progression and Boss Strategy
After mastering the demonfall rengoku clan abilities, your final test is the Infinity Castle. Here, you will face Upper Moons, including Akaza. The Ninth Form is essential here as it can stun bosses and provide you with a window to regenerate stamina or health.
Rengoku Clan Milestones:
- Reach Level 30+ using Double XP from the shop
- Unlock all Kendo Masteries for increased sword damage
- Obtain 'See Through World' to dodge boss ultimates
- Defeat Upper Moon 6 (Gyutaro) to farm Muzan Blood
- Successfully solo the Akaza boss fight in Infinity Castle
Akaza is extremely fast and can cancel your Ninth Form if he hits you during the wind-up. Use Fourth Form: Blooming Flame Undulation to parry his initial rush before counter-attacking with your stronger forms.
FAQ: Demonfall Rengoku Clan
Q: Is the Rengoku clan better than Kamado?
It depends on your playstyle. Rengoku offers a higher damage boost specifically for Flame Breathing and the exclusive Ninth Form, while Kamado provides access to Sun Breathing, which is a hybrid style.
Q: Where do I get a Crystal Essence for the Flame Nichirin?
Crystal Essences are rare drops from mining or can be obtained by defeating bosses like the Blue Demon in the Final Selection forest.
Q: Can I use the Ninth Form without being in the Rengoku clan?
No. The Ninth Form: Rengoku is a clan-exclusive skill. Even if you max out Flame Breathing as a different clan, that slot in the skill tree will remain locked.
Q: What is the best way to farm Yen for the 10,000 Yen sword?
The most efficient method is mining ores on a mountain and selling them, or completing the 'Defeat 8 Demons' quest from Ubuyashiki repeatedly.
