Project Slayers 2: How to Become Upper Moon 3 Akaza (Soyama)

Every requirement for the Soyama clan, Shockwave Blood Demon Art, Soryu fighting style, and Akaza's boss drops.

Every requirement for the Soyama clan, Shockwave Blood Demon Art, Soryu fighting style, and Akaza’s boss drops.

Akaza, the Upper Rank Three demon whose human name is Hakuji Soyama, is one of the few characters in Project Slayers 2 that players can rebuild almost piece for piece. The clan, the race, the Blood Demon Art, the weapon, the fighting style, and the outfit all exist as separate unlocks, and each one has its own gate. Nothing about the process is random except the rolls and the drop rates.

Quick answer: Roll the Supreme Soyama clan, become a demon through Muzan’s quest, roll and train the Shockwave Blood Demon Art, then farm the Akaza boss for Annihilation Type and both outfit pieces.


Akaza build requirements in Project Slayers 2

Six components make up the full build. They have to be done roughly in this order, because the demon race gates the Blood Demon Art, and the Blood Demon Art mastery gates the final move.

Roll the Soyama clan and set Akaza’s appearance

Open the character customization screen and spend clan spins until Soyama appears. It sits in the Supreme tier at roughly 0.1%, so buying an extra character slot to keep rolling without wiping your existing save is worth doing first.
Character Creation & Clan Rolling01:06Character Creation & Clan Rolling

Check the clan card once it loads. Soyama grants +170 Max Health, a 22% additional damage factor, +128 Max Stamina, +2 Damage Reduction, and a 6% damage reduction factor, plus the passives Indomitable Will, Combat Intuition, Bell Splitter, Enhanced Speed, and Pain Resistance. Those passives have to be bought individually in the skill tree.
Build the look in the customizer. Human Hakuji uses dark spiky hair and white martial arts clothing, while demon Akaza needs bright pink spiky hair, pale blue-white skin, face markings, a bare torso, and white cropped pants. The demon eye option only becomes available after you rank up past Weak Demon.

Unequip Slayer vanity gear such as the Flame Haori, Silent Vesture Top Hat, and Volcanic Katana before you start. Those pieces stay visible on the demon model and break the silhouette.


Turn demon with Muzan’s Spider Lily quest

Your race must be Human. If you chose Slayer, open the in-game shop and spend 120 Robux on Reset Race. That menu also offers Reset Breathing and Reset Fighting Style for 80 Robux, Reset Skill Points for 120 Robux, and Reset Evil Art for 20 Robux.
Drop your reputation into the negatives by attacking civilians and Demon Slayers. Farming Kanoe Demon Slayers in Iceveil Valley pushes reputation toward -50 while still giving experience, which is faster than punching villagers.
Find Muzan after nightfall. He spawns out in the world, including around Mistfall Harbor, and a HUD marker shows the distance to him once you are on the right server. Server hopping until you land on a night cycle saves a lot of waiting.
Obtain the Biwa Bell from him, then ring it to teleport to Muzan’s Lair within the Infinity Castle. The quest he gives you is to find 9 Spider Lilies and deliver Dr. Higoshima.
Collect Spider Lilies at the central pond by Giyu’s spawn and throughout Bamboo Grove. Unlock wall climbing first, then scale the walls by the Butterfly Estate to find Dr. Higoshima on an elevated ledge.
Carry the doctor to the marked safe zone. Hostile NPCs and other players will attack during the run, and a horse makes the trip far more survivable. Turning him in rewards Muzan’s Blood, which you drink to unlock the Demon race and the Demon title.

Roll the Shockwave Orb and clear Core Training

Back in Muzan’s Lair, spend Demon Art spins until the Shockwave Orb appears. The pool also contains the Reaper, Dream, Tamari, Arrow, Obi Manipulation, Blood Manipulation, and Pyrokinesis orbs, and spins can be bought in bulk if the rolls go badly. Breaking the Shockwave Orb starts Shockwave Core Training.

The training is a five-part checklist, and failing any part sends you back to the start:

  • Push ups, completed at the Butterfly Estate gym
  • Barbell squats, done outside the estate
  • Boulder Push through the walled obstacle course to the ring marker
  • Boulder Split, a timing minigame
  • Defeat 2 Mizunotos

Demons burn continuously in daylight, and the outdoor training steps are where most attempts fail. A Sun Hat can be bought from Kazu at Mistfall Harbor for $10,000, and the Bamboo Sandogasa also grants sun immunity.


Shockwave mastery unlocks and Annihilation Type

Clearing Core Training opens the Shockwave skill tree. Moves unlock by mastery level, and each one still costs skill points once the level requirement is met.

Mastery comes from repeat boss kills. Hoyuzo, Obari, Tengai, Giyu, and Sumari all work, and a 2x Mastery boost cuts the grind considerably. Muzan also hands out elimination bounties, such as the contract on the Flame Trainee in Iceveil Valley, which pay out while you level the art.

Farm the Damascus Sickles, Annihilation Type, and Akaza’s outfit

Two bosses carry everything else the build needs. Hoyuzo sits inside the cave behind the waterfall, and the Akaza boss spawns in his own cave, reached through the hidden path behind the vines near the Serpent Trainee.

BossDropRate
Hoyuzo (Lv 50)Damascus Sickles7%
Hoyuzo (Lv 50)Battle Kimono UniformCommon
AkazaAnnihilation Type5%
AkazaAzaka’s Top5%
AkazaAzaka’s Bottoms5%

The Damascus Sickles are the matching weapon for the build, giving +4 Additional Damage, a 1.08x damage factor, +5.1 Block Points, and 1.9x Block Regen. Hoyuzo runs also feed Shockwave mastery, so the farm rarely feels wasted. Refinement ore frequently drops alongside the sickles.

The outfit pieces are listed in-game as Azaka’s Top and Azaka’s Bottoms, with the misspelling intact, so search for that spelling in your inventory. The open-world version of the boss is also named Akeza, while Akaza is the Mugen Train raid version with 12,500 HP.

A 4x Luck boost from the shop improves the odds on the 5% rolls, and health regeneration elixirs from Alchemist Meku help during the repeat attempts, since Akaza’s kicks hit hard enough to force a long respawn walk.


Unlock the Soryu fighting style at Mistfall Harbor

Travel to Soryu Expert Kazuma. From the central Giyu spawn, pass through the vines, drop down into the Hidden Mist Village, and cross the bridge to his house. Speak to him and accept the Soryu Trial.

Catch 20 common fish. First get a fishing permit from Dock Master Sofen, which means recovering the permit stamp from a nearby house, then buy a Basic Fishing Rod from Fisherman Jeso.
Enter the flooded cave immediately below Kazuma’s house, dive in, and retrieve the Soryu Scroll.
Land 8,000 M1 damage using fists only. Weapon hits do not count toward the counter, so unequip everything and punch bosses and regular enemies until the tally fills.
Defeat Soryu Trainee Goki under the waterfall to close out the trial. The style unlocks immediately, opening moves such as Bone Breaker and Face Breaker in the Soryu skill tree.

Refine the sickles and Soryu style to +7

Refiner Hagane inside the Hidden Mist Village upgrades weapons and fighting styles using refinement ores and Yen, up to +7. Both the Damascus Sickles and the Soryu style benefit, and the ore you collected during Hoyuzo runs usually covers most of the cost. Leftover skill points are best spent on Max Health, which is where the Soyama clan’s damage reduction pays off.


How to confirm the Akaza build is complete

Check five things. Your clan card reads Soyama (Supreme), your race reads Demon, the Shockwave Blood Demon Art is equipped with Annihilation Type purchased in the skill tree, Azaka’s Top and Azaka’s Bottoms are worn, and Soryu appears as your active fighting style with the Damascus Sickles equipped.

The usual final test is the Rengoku boss, the fight that mirrors the character’s most famous moment. Beating him with Annihilation Type confirms every piece is functioning together, and he drops Black Dragon Armour on the way out.
