Press M and open Titles. You can equip three titles, and only those three use their buffs. Every title you unlock also leaves its passive on, so it still helps after you take it off the bar.

Combat
Kills, total damage, boss defeats, and deaths are four different counts. Bruised, Scarred, and Relentless pay you for dying, so those titles are milestones, not a penalty for messing up.
Exploration
Normal chests and sealed chests do not share a counter. Opening a chest moves Prospector and Vaultbreaker. Clearing a sealed chest moves Seal Breaker, Warden, and Calamity's End.
Fishing
Common, rare, and legendary fish are separate counts. Lost items are not fish, and the Legendary Fishing Rod is its own milestone rather than another catch total.
Ouwigahara
Reaching a floor, finishing a run, and standing at the summit are different goals. Floor titles do not add to the run counter, and Heaven's Doorstep is not another finished run.
Quests
Odd-Jobber, Village Pillar, and Oathkeeper are one quest chain. The same completed-quest counter climbs from one title to the next, so a later unlock does not start you over. Wear the latest buff in the chain, and the earlier passives stay on.
Race
Slayer and Demon are opposite routes on one character. Final Selection gives Slayer. Drinking Muzan's blood gives Demon. Leave the other title for a different save.
Mastery
The passive on these titles is 1x, not a hidden copy of the 1.02x buff. Equip the Perfected title for the style you are using. Breathing Damage and Evil Art Damage do not stand in for each other.
Buff is the bonus while that title is one of the three you have equipped. Passive stays after the unlock, even when another title is wearing the slot. Requirement is the milestone. Numbers stay in the title's own wording. Scarred is a flat +0.5 Damage Reduction, Seal Breaker and Warden say Block Regen rather than a factor, and a Perfected passive of 1x means 1x.
Which three to wear
The three equipped buffs should match the job in front of you. A fishing luck buff does not help a boss, and block regen does nothing if you never block.
| What you are doing | Buff worth a slot |
|---|---|
| Fighting | Annihilator for flat damage, or Reaper for a damage factor and health. Nemesis when you want attack speed. |
| Getting hit | Heaven's Doorstep, for health and damage reduction together. |
| Before the summit | Relentless or Calamity's End for a damage-reduction factor. Scarred is a flat +0.5, not a smaller copy of those factors. |
| Stamina | Endless for the bigger stamina pool. Slayer if you want stamina regen and that character survived Final Selection. Oathkeeper when quests are also the grind. |
| Chests and travel | Vaultbreaker for movement speed. Warden on sealed chests only if you are blocking. |
| Fishing | Bite speed, luck, or breath, whichever the spot needs. |
| Quest EXP | The latest quest title you own. |
| A maxed style | That style's Perfected title, and only while you are using it. |
Stronger buffs and stacking
A later title in the same chain usually gives a stronger individual buff. Annihilator is +2 Additional Damage, more than Devastator at +1.5, Bonebreaker at +1, and Hard Hitter at +0.75.
Reaper's 1.02x Additional Damage Factor beats Blooded and Monster Hunter, which both sit at 1.01x. Oathkeeper's quest EXP factor beats Odd-Jobber at 1.03x and Village Pillar at 1.04x.
Flat damage buffs stack while equipped. For an M1 damage build, Bonebreaker, Devastator, and Annihilator together add +4.5 Additional Damage from their buffs. Keep them together when stronger swings are the goal; trade a slot for health or stamina when staying alive matters more. Every unlocked passive stays on either way.
Vaultbreaker is the movement slot once you have it, at 1.03x Movement Speed Factor against Prospector's 1.02x. Warden is the block-regen slot, at 1.1x Block Regen against Seal Breaker's 1.06x.
For raw health, Heaven's Doorstep at +40 beats Highclimber at +20. Challenger, Bruised, and Tower Runner each give +10 health. Use the larger individual bonus first when you have only one slot to spare for health.
Swap with the job
Legendary Fisherman equips 1.07x Fishing Luck Factor and 1.05x Bite Speed Factor together. Once you have it, Angler's 1.03x bite speed and Deep Water Angler's 1.05x bite speed do not beat that rod title. Salvager still wins a pure luck slot at 1.08x Fishing Luck Factor.
Demon's equipped art bonus is 1.01x Evil Art Damage Factor, and only if that character drank Muzan's blood. A Perfected evil-art title is 1.02x for that art. Breathing Perfected titles buff Breathing Damage, not an evil art, so match the title to the style you are actually using.
Max the style you fight with if you want its 1.02x in a slot. The passive on a Perfected title stays 1x, so do not max extra styles hoping each one hides another 1.02x.
What will not finish itself
Kills, damage, bosses, chests, quests, and tower runs move while you play, so those passives can show up without a special trip. Fish, deaths, and max mastery will not finish themselves.
Farm deaths on purpose. Bruised, Scarred, and Relentless treat a wipe as progress, and a death in the middle of a tower clear you still need is a bad time to pad the count.
Heaven's Doorstep does not ask for a second climb title. Stand at the top of Ouwigahara.
Slayer and Demon cannot share a character. The route you did not pick belongs on another save, where it will not argue with this one.
FAQ
Is Reaper the same title as Reaper Perfected?
No. Reaper is the kill-count title, with a damage factor and health while equipped. Reaper Perfected is max mastery with Reaper, and its equipped buff is 1.02x Evil Art Damage Factor. Unlocking one does not unlock the other.
Does Heaven's Doorstep need Stairwalker?
No. Stand at the top of Ouwigahara. Heaven's Doorstep does not ask you to equip Stairwalker first, so do not hold the summit for that name.
Do two damage titles stack if I equip both?
Yes. Equipped flat Additional Damage buffs add together. Bonebreaker, Devastator, and Annihilator give +4.5 from their equipped buffs, and their unlocked passives stay active too. Choose a damage stack for stronger M1 hits, or mix in health and stamina for a more balanced build.
Why is Pyrokenesis Perfected spelled that way?
Pyrokenesis is the title's spelling. Look for Pyrokenesis Perfected even where the art is also called Pyrokinesis.
Is the Final Selection crow a title?
Final Selection's title is Slayer. The crow that comes with it is a Kasugai Crow, not a second title with a buff.
Do Hashira and Upper Moon titles work like these?
Those names come from Zenith season placement, and they change with the season and your style. They are not these milestone unlocks. Do not farm a season rank expecting a buff and passive like the ones on these titles.
