The Gun Hunter build is Devil Hunter's safest entry into high-level content while you master parries on the side. Human or Gun Fiend can run this setup; humans pair Snake Devil with AK-47 marksmanship scaling. This guide covers stats, gear order, and raid positioning for consistent DPS without face-tanking bosses.
Core Components
- Weapon: AK-47 — craft path on weapons page
- Contract: Snake Devil — obtain via contracts guide
- Clan: Kishibe or Hayakawa depending on weapon vs contract focus — clan tier list
Stat Priority
- Marksmanship / ranged damage stat to AK-47 breakpoints
- Stamina for kiting and sprint repositioning
- Health secondarily — you should not be frontline
- Dexterity if hybrid side-weapons matter later

Skill Rotation
Open with Snake contract ability to apply debuffs or control, then mag dump during boss stagger windows. Save mobility for invasion escapes. Parry only when cornered — learn basics from parry guide.
Raid Role
In Hotel and School raids, Gun Hunter clears adds while melee teammates posture bosses. Katana raid demands more movement — study Katana raid guide for phase spawns you must kite.
Progression Path
Follow beginner walkthrough, craft AK-47, grab Snake Devil on Floor Zero, then push divisions per rank up guide. Redeem codes for clan rerolls toward Kishibe.
