The first kind of slayer we will begin with is the most common on the site and the anime/manga: Dragon Slayers.
Dragon Slayers are mages trained by the respective dragon into their arts of destructive and protective powers. Though there are different tier levels of Dragon Slayers to exist: First generation, Second Generation, and Third Generation. Dragon Slayers are naturally weaker than God/Demon slayers.
First Generation: The First Generation Dragon Slayers are those trained by the dragon themselves. They have a broader use of this magic than Second generation and have the ability to properly evolve the magic due to them having been trained in the specified magic.
Second Generation: The Second Generation Dragon Slayers are mages who use Lacrima infused with the magic of the dragon of choice. Though these tend to be secondary magics, they are able to become Primary, though they are generally weaker and do not have the knowledge to fully spread their magic into the same depths as the First Generation; though the combinations of normal magic and Slayer magic can still be devastating to make up for this: as well as giving them the ability to choose a Slayer magic secondary that can cover their magic's natural weaknesses.
Third Generation: Third Generation Dragon Slayer, is one who is Trained by the dragon, and obtains a lacrima of the same Dragon Slayer magic. This combination of likes sky-rockets their own natural abilities to match even those of the God and Demon Slayer abilities. Because they have full understanding of their magic, they can increase the breadth of their abilities and evolve them to heights that might not seem possible to first, second, or even mixed generations. They are considered as the Son/Daughter of said dragon, and their dragon force ability displays this perfectly; revealing more of a hybrid dragon/human over simply showing the scales. The Third Generation Dragon Slayer, is the only one of its kind to be able to willingly activate their Dragon Force, while the others must eat a special or large amount of their respective element.
Mixed Generations: A more known form as it was displayed in the anime, The Mixed Third generation is the process of obtaining a secondary Dragon Slayer magic into their system: Much like Natsu eating Lightning Dragon Slayer magic and becoming the Fire-Lightning Dragon Slayer. Though this is considered to some as Third generation, we give it as its own specific class as there is a large amount of controversy towards it.
Demon and God Slayer magic: There is very little difference between these two magics. The Demon Slayer magic involves being trained by Demons, while the God Slayer is being trained by Gods. Both types are able to eat any form of their respective element, and they each naturally are stronger than the Dragon Slayers. The only real difference between these two magics; are their secondary attributes. God Slayers have a more dark based magic as they are trained to slay celestial beings, while the Demon Slayers have a light based magic as they are trained to slay the infernal beings. This effects the visuals of their spells and what ultimately is stronger depending on their specified opponent.
