FAQ

Where is the Serpent Breathing trainer in Slayers 2?
Obari, the Serpent trainer, stands on the marsh path between Bamboo Grove and the bear area. Take the forest exit from Windy Peak past the bear area.
What level do you need for Serpent Breathing?
Level 25 on the slayer path, plus a Wen fee of roughly 5,000 to 10,000 and demon horns and beast cores.
Is Serpent Breathing good in PvP?
Yes. It is a technical PvP style built around mobile close combat with grabs. It rewards players who can land engages consistently and punishes those who cannot.
How many forms does Serpent Breathing have?
Five forms, focused on mobile close combat with grab mechanics.

Serpent Breathing is the style that rewards precision. It is a mobile close-combat kit built around grabs, which means its power is not in its raw numbers but in whether you can force the engagement you want. For players who enjoy that, it is one of the most satisfying styles in the game; for players who do not, it will feel inconsistent.

Wen 5,000–10,000 (reported) Quests, boss drops, selling loot
Demon horns up to 30 (reported) Demon spawns at night

Bamboo Grove is a two-trainer area, so if you travel there you can scout both Obari and Urokodaki (Water) before committing. See the Water guide for the comparison.

What can Serpent do?

Serpent’s five forms centre on grab mechanics and mobile close combat. The style’s value comes from converting a successful approach into unavoidable follow-up damage.

Per-form damage values and frame data

Not published. No source we could find lists per-form damage or timing for Serpent, so this page does not invent numbers. The grab-based playstyle is consistently reported; the specific values behind it are not.

Which clans pair with Serpent?

Clan Rarity Why
Iguro Mythic (0.9%) Serpent bonuses, mobility, Katana progression and percentage health damage
Kocho Legendary (4%) Poison boosts, debuffs and aerial sword bonuses — a Poison-focused alternative
Sabito Rare (12%) A cheaper option for movement, sword damage and mastery while you hunt a better roll

Iguro is the natural pairing, and its percentage health damage is the reason Serpent builds scale unusually well into late content — that damage does not fall off against large health pools. See the clans guide for full roll odds.

Frequently asked questions

Is Serpent hard to play?

It is the least forgiving of the mid-tier styles. Its power sits in landing engages, so a player who misses often will find it weaker than Water, which has an answer for every situation. If you are new, the Water guide explains why that style is the safer first pick.

Does Serpent need a specific weapon?

No style hard-requires a weapon, but Katana progression compounds with Iguro’s bonuses, so most Serpent builds run a katana. The katana guide covers the progression path from the shop blade to the Nightfall craft.

Serpent or Insect for PvP?

Both sit in the same tier band. Serpent is mobile close combat with grabs; Insect trades protection for Poison pressure. The tier list compares them directly.
