Yahaba & Susamaru Join Demon Slayer -Kimetsu No Yaiba- Versus Roster

Two more characters have joined Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles as you can now play as Yahaba and Susamaru. Both characters add a bit of danger to Versus Mode as you now have their incredible powers that will make your opponents quake. But remember, you also carry their weaknesses, so you're stuck with the package deal. We have the rundown on both of these characters here, as well as some additional content added from the update they're attached to.

Yahaba

First up is Yahaba, a demon who teams up with Susamaru to ambush Tanjiro in Asakusa under Kibutsuji's orders. He has eyes on both hands and can generate arrows that manipulate directional forces with his Blood Demon Art. These arrows can either be used to pierce enemies and slam them to the ground, or they can be used on rocks to hurl at opponents. Yahaba's arrows have two types of attacks: ones that deal damage, and ones that don't. Players will use the non-damaging attacks to put some distance between them and the enemy. Then, once their guard is down, they can go on the offensive with high-damage combos!

Susamaru

Next is Susamaru, a demon with the appearance of a young girl who teams up with Yahaba to attack Tanjiro in Asakusa. Through the use of her powerful mari (decorative thread balls), she can keep her distance from any opponent. In-game, this makes her particularly strong against Demon Slayer Corps who favor close range combat. Susamaru fights by hurling her mari towards the enemy while actively moving around the field. They are a great way to lure an opponent into letting down their guard and set up effective combos that can deal high amounts of damage.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu No Yaiba- Update

Alongside these new playable demons, more online missions have been added to the game for players to complete in order to earn Kimetsu Points and unlock new rewards, such as new quotes and profile photos.
