Chainsaw Man: Devil's Heart

How to play Chainsaw Man: Devil's Heart

Chainsaw Man: Devil's Heart starts in a very direct way: clear the cleaning quest, follow the early NPC route, and use your first fights to learn movement before you obsess over rare forms. The official page already gives the controls that matter most early on: M opens the skill tree, Q dashes, F parries, E talks to NPCs, Z/X/C/V trigger skills, and T activates a hybrid or fiend form once you have one.

First steps

• Finish the cleaning quest and follow Riku's questline to settle into the map.
• Spend skill points early instead of leveling with no direction.
• Once you get near level 20, prepare for the Zombie Raid because it becomes part of the normal progression path.
• Practice dash and parry on regular fiends before dragging yourself into longer boss fights.

How transformations open up

The most talked-about route revolves around the Devil's Heart. It can spawn on the map with a chance every 30 minutes or come from Ito's quest, which asks for 10 Bullets dropped by bosses. With a Devil's Heart in your inventory and 10k Yen, you can visit the nurse at the hospital and attempt a hybrid transformation. The fiend route is different: level 50, three contracts from the same devil, and another 10k Yen for the injured man underground.

Codes & Tips of Chainsaw Man: Devil's Heart

Codes are redeemed through the in-game phone: press M, open Settings, and paste each code into the redeem field. The most useful current ones either speed up progression or save you from an annoying grind step.

• FunnyAuraReRoll2026: Aura Reroll.
• SPReset2026: Skill Point Reset.
• 28KBagsIntoTheDark: 28k Yen and 450 EXP.
• 100kFreeHeart: free Devil's Heart.
• MAKIMARELEASE: x2 EXP for 30 minutes.
• Progression: free progression rewards.

Simple trick: save reset codes until your build is clearly off course. The Devil's Heart code is strongest when you already have surgery money or when you want to skip the slowest part of heart hunting.

Tips for Chainsaw Man: Devil's Heart

Devil's Heart gets much better once you treat the early game as setup instead of a blind sprint toward a rare form.

Do not burn a Devil's Heart too early

Getting the item is only half the job. Surgery still costs 10k Yen, so it pays off more when your account can keep moving after the transformation.

Riku gives the early game structure

His questline stops you from farming with no direction. Mutated fiends and the Zombie Raid work as clean steps for XP and Yen.

Parry wins more fights than mindless skill spam

Dash and damage matter, but the combat improves once you trust the timing on F. Raids and bosses punish players who only try to bulldoze through.

Farm Bullets while you farm bosses

If you are already killing bosses, stack Bullets for Ito's quest at the same time instead of depending only on random Devil's Heart spawns.

Curiosities about Chainsaw Man: Devil's Heart

One of the game's most interesting ideas is how differently it handles hybrids and fiends. Hybrids come from Devil's Hearts and hospital surgery; fiends need three contracts from the same devil, level 50, and a trip underground to the injured NPC.

The public hybrid list already gives the system a strong identity: Chainsaw, Katana, Bomb, Flamethrower, Deep Sea, Whip, Shield, and Crossbow. The Shield Hybrid is especially odd because community documentation ties it to a Captain America concept sketch by Tatsuki Fujimoto instead of a mainline manga hybrid.

Another easy detail to miss is the daily quest bonus. It gives double rewards once per day, while the official description also points to Makima spawning every two hours at a specific place on the map. That makes the game feel more routine-driven than pure nonstop grinding.

Progress & Economy of Chainsaw Man: Devil's Heart

Progress in Chainsaw Man: Devil's Heart revolves around Yen, EXP, skill points, Bullets, and Devil's Hearts. Yen pays for surgery and practical account growth; EXP raises your level; skill points shape the build; Bullets support Ito's quest; Devil's Hearts are the biggest shortcut into hybrid play.

In practice, the early game works best when you use quests and raids to stack money and levels together. That avoids a common mistake: finding a Devil's Heart too early and then stalling because the rest of your account is not ready.

Resets and rerolls also work better as correction tools than panic buttons. The game gives you ways to fix skills, auras, and related choices, but they are worth more once you understand what your build is actually missing.
