The Demon Auction, localized as Devil Auction in Devil Survivor, is a recurring mechanic in the Devil Survivor series. Through use of the auction, Demon Tamers can pay Macca to make contracts with the demons who have put themselves up for auction.

Overview

Auction Ranks

Demons in the auction are placed in different Auction Ranks, with higher ranks having higher-leveled demons. These ranks are restricted to auction members of the corresponding rank or higher. The protagonist will initially start out with a Basic membership, but will be able to upgrade his membership status by spending Macca on auctions. The ranks are Basic, Gold, Platinum, and Occult.

Star Ratings

Demons that are up for auction have different Star Ratings, indicating the demons strength and ranging between 1 to 5, with 3 being the average. A 1 or 2-star demon will have lower base stats than normal, but will have cheaper starting and buy prices. Conversely, 4 or 5-star demons have higher base stats but are also more expensive. Each version of a demon that can appear will have a different name depending on their star rating.
Demons in the auction may have different skills than the same demon made through Fusion, and both demons with high and low Star Rating can have alternate skills.
Although which demons are available for auction at any given time is random, the actual demons that can appear are set. For example, in Devil Survivor: Overclocked, a 4-star Moh Shuvuu will always be named Pretty Shuvuu, have 2 extra MP, 1 extra Magic, and have the skill Amrita.

Purchasing Demons

There are two ways to make a contract with a demon on the action: By winning in a bidding war against other Demon Tamers, or by spending the buyout price to purchase the demon directly.
