The seed's growth increases by one stage every time an enemy lands a hit.
- As enemies in dungeons attack fairly slowly - their threat coming from either high damage single hits or sheer numbers - the seed is very unlikely to advance a lot of stages before it explodes.
- In PvP however, it is great for pressuring opponents out of attacking you, as the damage of the seed and the eventual defense decrease would cripple them.
The seed's damage will not inflict any hitstun outside of the first hit, which plants the seed during the explosion, and the final hit, which gets rid of it.
The damage the Demon Realm Seed can deal over its lifespan is anywhere between 984% ~ 9,960% (180% ~ 2,490% in PvP) (KR: 984% ~ 13,612% (360% ~ 4,980% in PvP)) Physical Damage, based on how many stages the seed is able to advance. The seed will always deal 1 hit at Growth Stage 1 as it is set, but it is theoretically possible for all other 11 hits to deal Growth Stage 15 damage due to a very quick multihit attack.
The seed deals splash damage in a very small radius around it, allowing it to deal more damage on tightly grouped enemies.

This skill was featured as a consumable summoning item during Demonio's pre-event.
