Introduction
This guide is designed and looking to do the absolute most DPS possible with the ranged demon slayer, so if you have any suggestions to boost its power, you can feel free to write them to me. Discord tag is down below at the end.

I played this build while the start of season 11 and I'm currently the rank 1 Demon Slayer on softcore with wormhole level 567 while using it.

Pros:
-Can clear mid - high tier wormholes, Uber Damien, Uber Reaper and the new seasonal boss very easily
-Pretty good at farming
-Is in my opinion a really fun build
-You can also play from distance since its ranged (DPS loss)
-Still deals great DPS while using a budget version of it

Cons:
-Low suvivabillty on high level content
-Need to stand close to the enemy for maximum DPS
-Very Expensive
-You need to have a monitor that supports atleast 120hz for maximum DPS


In the local editor I could reach up to 3.3 billion DPS (Can probably deal even more damage with the Execute talent and Belt of Skulls' Satan's Dice being active) with this build while having all the BIS relics, every item at 115% quality, hero level 200 and all BIS items (includes Torch of Shadows, Belt of Skulls, Pendant of Eternity and the angelic ST. Soloyolo's Holy Bow). My testing were also done on 120hz capped but you can still deal up to 1.9 billion DPS with 60hz (you can have 100% uptime on bullet hell with 120hz but not with 60hz).
Items

Best in Slots:

Head: Judge, Jury & Executioner (4 Sockets max)
Armor: Slayer's Jacket (6 Sockets max)
Boots: Slayer's Boots (4 Sockets max)
Weapon: ST. Soloyolo's Holy Bow (6 Sockets max) (angelic)
Gloves: Slayer's Mitts (4 Sockets max)
Amulet: Pendant of Eternity (4 Sockets max)
Charm: Torch of Shadows (5 Sockets max) (very expensive)
Ring: Demon Eye Ring (1 Socket max)
Belt: Belt of Skulls (3 Sockets max) (very expensive)
Potion: Bottle of Sake (2 Sockets max)

Budget Items you can use instead of the super expensive best in slots are:

Weapon: RT XQC-4910 (physical) (6 Sockets max) (second best in slot, try to get this asap), maybe something cheap like Windforce (6 Sockets max), Demon & Angel (6 Sockets max), Vampire Hunter (6 Sockets), Marine's Buddy (physical) (6 Sockets) till you get RT XQC-4910.

Charm: Apple of Evolution (4 Sockets max), Rainbow (runeword)

Amulet: Rift Warrior's Skull (4 Sockets max)

Belt: Tribal Belt (3 Sockets max), Monkeyskin Belt (3 Sockets max) (to cap cdr)

Boots: Tundra Marchers (4 Sockets max) (to cap cdr) (only use when you're using Demon & Angel for the set bonus)

Potion: Ghostly Potion (2 Sockets max), Maggot Eye Elixier (2 Sockets max), Protein Shake (2 Sockets max), Surströmming (2 Sockets max) (to cap cdr)

As for runes, technically Dam runes (5% crit damage) are the best but as they are extremly expensive just use Von runes to cap CDR to 75% (if you don't have it capped already) and fill the rest with Jah Runes (+2.5% physical damage).
Abilities

Abilities to max are: Eagle Eye, Bullet Hell, Execute, Focused Mind (executioner tree) and the rest into Demon Shield for the survivability. You could also choose to max Demon Shield instead of Execute if you prefer tankyness over damage.

Put 50 hero levels into crit damage (if you have +90% crit chance) then 50 into elemental damage and the rest into strength.


Abillity Rotation: Spam Bullet Hell on CD (stand very near to the enemy for massive damage) -> Shredder Trap -> Trigger Finger (you don't really need to press this since it deals very low damage but it can fill some global cooldowns. Also don't forget to use auto attacks for the armor reduction.
Relics

These are all the relics I would personally use with running this build. If you disagree, feel free to pick some others since the boost of some of these are very small.

Here's a list of the relics:

Demon Sheep, Nunchucks, Skull Axe, The Spoon, Magic Mushroom, Jefre's Subscription, Rock Belt, Blazing Boots, Titan's Gladius, Basilisk Tooth, Twinblade, Dirge, Hellscream Axe, Commander's Sword, Butcher Knife, Silver Cube, Golden Cube, Golden Sword, Triforce, Damien's Amulet, Tequila, DaPlayer Head, Butterfly Knife, Holy Grail, Monkey King Bar, Horned Mask, Oversized, Amazon Spear, Metal Detector, Book of Belial.
Mercenary
Using a mercenary is just a bonus for this build, you don't need it to make the build work and you are free to use another mercenary build if you'd like to. But it can boost your DPS by about 400 million when its fully geared.

This is the mercenary build I would use to maximize your DPS:


Head: Helm of Dominator (4 Sockets max) (physical)
Weapon: Potency (Armor Break 20 max) (runeword) (expensive)
Armor: Shroud of Elements (elemental) (Elemental Break 20 max) (runeword) (expensive)

Its not a must to have the perfect element on these items since your mercenary deals very small damage and is only there to boost you. But what matters here are the rolls on Potency's Armor Break and Shroud of Elements' Elemental Break since they increase the damage you do. From these two items Shroud of Elements is probably a bit more important than Potency because you can already reduce the enemy's armor through your Eagle Eye passive ability.


In the mercenary skill tree you'll want to max Multishot, Rapidfire, Piercing Shot and put the rest into Scattershot. You can also put 1 point in everything else like I did.

Ending
Credit goes to PAS Wooxy since I used his outdated DS guide (season 10) as a base and just tried some different things to advance, min-max and update it for season 11. Check him out for other class builds on:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JyNuFIao11dJgI1tjc4RNhYcPcALx73aas2d-uFcDqI/edit

Also thanks to Fearmaky for helping me optimize, min-max the build and taking his time to do a video guide about it. Here's a link to his Youtube channel, you should check him out for high quality Hero Siege related content and meta guides for other classes aswell:

I hope you like the build and try it out for yourself.

I've also made a build guide for the melee Demon Slayer if you're interested in that one:

@Wolfzimer make sure you're playing on 120hz or higher. Bullet Hell won't have a 100% uptime on 60hz sadly.
