Tieflings are a popular humanoid race with infernal heritage and appearance. While the Player's Handbook only features a single version, Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes features a wide range of subraces. Rather than corresponding to regions or environments, each of these subraces is based on the bloodlines of the Archdevils of the Nine Hells. In this guide, we'll explore each Tiefling bloodline and see how you can make the most out of them with your next character!
Asmodeus is the most powerful Archdevil of the Nine Hells, residing within the bottommost layer of Nessus. As Asmodeus is among the most influential evil figures in D&D's multiverse, Tieflings that carry his blood are among the most common of this race, serving as the Tiefling within the Player's Handbook. These Tieflings are notably charismatic and cunning, gaining access to spells that one may associate with the Nine Hells: Thaumaturgy, Hellish Rebuke, and Darkness.
While Darkness is a great means of helping control a crowd's damage output, it becomes all the more useful when made one-sided through the likes of the Devil's Sight Eldritch Invocation available to Warlocks. Additionally, Hellish Rebuke is a solid spell that may allow a character who otherwise may not have access to a reaction option to make the most out of a turn rotation.
The Archdevil Baalzebul rules over Maladomini, the seventh layer of the Nine Hells.
