Best Slayers 2 Clans Tier List (October 2026)

Updated October 6, 2026 for V0.22: V0.2 directly rebalances Kamado, Tamayo, and Uzui, while the universal counter and Ranked rules change several Clan builds around them. Uzui is now my early pick for the best overall Clan, Tamayo moves from A to S after a major stat buff, and Kamado remains S despite losing Headbutt’s block shutdown and part of Combat Intuition’s Ranked payoff. V0.21 and V0.22 do not add further Clan balance changes.

Slayers 2 Clans Tier List – Best Clans Ranked

As is usually the case, rare Clans will naturally tend to have stronger or more unusual benefits, but a difficult roll doesn't automatically deserve S-tier. I've ranked Clans by their actual usefulness rather than rarity alone. I'm much more interested in what the Clan does once you have it: its stat bonuses, unique abilities, passives, combat value, progression perks, drawbacks, and how well everything works with the strongest builds.

I also weigh whether a Clan works across most builds or becomes exceptional with a specific Breathing Style, Blood Demon Art, weapon, or party. Specialists can absolutely earn S Tier. Shinazugawa remains the clearest style specialist, with V0.2 adding 30% damage to Wind Z and hyper armor to held V on top of its existing strict-stun and guard-pressure routes. Tamayo reaches S from the opposite direction: a 20% Max Health heal, full cooldown reset, control, debuffs, and newly competitive stats now produce practical value across parties and solo play.

The V0.2 ranking is no longer identical. I give more weight to repeatable damage windows, useful defense, and realistic synergy than to a long string that only works against someone who never blocks. Uzui’s Musical Score now avoids a recorded skill for two seconds instead of eating the damage, while Tamayo gains much stronger Health, Stamina, damage, and flat reduction. Kamado’s Headbutt no longer disables block, and Combat Intuition converts stored damage at 0.07 instead of 0.1 in Ranked.

Ranked now removes automatic out-of-combat Health regeneration, although healing from skills, items, and passives still works. Refinement bonuses also count at half strength, which narrows the equipment gap and gives native Clan sustain more practical weight. First Light and Nightfall Hunt still reward durable second rotations and reliable finishers, but I do not raise a Clan simply because it can wear strong gear. We still need more time to assess the strongest equal-refinement V0.22 combinations.

Finally, don't treat a tier letter as an automatic reroll command. A Clan that is merely good in a vacuum can be excellent for the exact build you're running, while an S-tier Clan can waste half its kit if you never use the effects it is built around. With that out of the way, let's go through every Clan and why I currently have it where it is.

Slayers 2 Clan Tier List
Clan	Evaluation
S Tier - Best Clans in Slayers 2
Uzui S Tier Supreme Ascendant 0.1% Tier Chance Key stats: +247.5 Health · +135 Stamina · +21% Additional Damage Factor · +2 Damage Reduction · +6% Damage Reduction Factor Best fit: Technical PvP, stamina-heavy builds, fist setups, general progression.	Uzui takes the top spot in my early V0.2 testing. Enhanced Hearing still marks targets for 25% more damage and reaches 20% farther than it did at launch, while the Clan’s Health, Stamina, damage, reduction, progression, and poison-immunity bonuses remain useful on nearly any serious build. Musical Score is finally a real defensive swing. When the recorded skill returns, Uzui dodges it for two seconds instead of taking the hit, and the cooldown falls from 56.25 to 42.19 seconds. The mechanic still demands recognition and timing, but a correct read now wins the health trade instead of merely interrupting the attacker. Vital Draw’s Muscle result lasts 11 seconds instead of six. That nearly doubles the window for its five M1 dodges and +15% fist damage, making a favorable random draw much easier to convert. Heart still restores 150 Health, while Lungs restores Stamina and raises the cap. Sound remains the natural high-pressure pairing, but Uzui no longer depends on it. Roar still breaks guard and the 25% mark amplifies a confirmed punish. Sound’s longer Z windup and ultimate limitations leave counterplay, yet the Clan’s repaired defense and broad utility now make it my best overall recommendation.
Kamado S Tier Supreme Ascendant 0.1% Tier Chance Key stats: +262.5 Health · +130 Stamina · +23% Additional Damage Factor · +2 Damage Reduction · +6% Damage Reduction Factor Best fit: Almost anything; especially hybrid, Demon, PvP, and high-survivability builds.	Kamado remains S tier, but it falls behind Uzui after losing one of its easiest pressure shortcuts. Headbutt still knocks the opponent straight down instead of away, but it no longer turns off their block. Use the knockdown to reposition or force a timing check rather than treating it as three seconds of guaranteed guard denial. Combat Intuition is also weaker in Ranked. Stored damage converts at 0.07 instead of 0.1 there, cutting the eventual Weapon, Breathing, or Demon Art payoff by 30%. The general-mode version remains unchanged, and taking unnecessary damage just to fill the meter is still a fast route back to the spawn screen. The rest of the kit is still absurdly broad. Strong base stats, Indomitable Will, low-health defenses, movement, and sustain contribute across weapons and styles. Ranked’s lack of automatic out-of-combat healing also gives Regen Adrenal more practical value for Demon builds. Kamado is still my best Demon Clan and the easiest premium all-rounder to recommend. Sun Immunity removes a defining Demon weakness, while Pyrokinesis, Shockwave, and Obi all use the general stat package well. Uzui takes first because its V0.2 defense improves everywhere while Kamado’s most direct PvP tools were trimmed.
Rengoku S Tier Supreme Ascendant 0.1% Tier Chance Key stats: +277.5 Health · +125 Stamina · +26% Additional Damage Factor · +2 Damage Reduction · +6% Damage Reduction Factor Best fit: Flame Breathing, Katana and aggressive weapon builds.	Rengoku remains the safest offensive Slayer Clan. Its +26% Additional Damage Factor, strong Health and Stamina, burn effects, and Katana progression already created a coherent build, and V0.2 gives Flame another dependable way to crack defense. Flame Undulation’s release swing now breaks guard. That matters more than another training-dummy damage increase because Rengoku can force an opening against a patient blocker before spending Heart Ablaze and Ignition Hit bonuses. Flame Z keeps its faster startup and now follows slammed targets correctly, while held V remains much quicker. The complete route is easier to land than it was at launch, although Flame ticks no longer trigger counters and Heart Ablaze’s retaliatory burn still does not justify eating a full combo on purpose. Indomitable Will immunity and Flame resistance add useful defense without diluting the offensive identity. Rengoku stays below Uzui and Kamado because it is more build-dependent, but its best Flame and Katana setups are unquestionably S tier.
Shinazugawa S Tier Mythic Tank 0.9% Tier Chance Key stats: +202.5 Health · +90 Stamina · +18% Additional Damage Factor · +5% Movement Speed · +5% Health Regen · +2 Damage Reduction Best fit: Wind Breathing, Katana, aggressive bruiser builds.	Shinazugawa remains an elite S-tier specialist. Wind already had strict-stun starters and improved guard pressure, while V0.2 adds 30% damage to Mountain Wind (Z), increasing the reward after Windstorm Vigor helps create an opening. Whirlwind Cutter (V) now has hyper armor while held. The move can finish through light interruption, which makes its strict-stun route more dependable. Hyper armor does not prevent damage, so forcing it through a heavy punish can still lose the trade. Windstorm Vigor continues to supply Wind damage, general damage, movement, and lower stamina costs. Faster X and C pressure plus the long-range tornado give those bonuses practical delivery rather than leaving them trapped behind a slow starter. Unyielding Spirit and Marechi’s Blade preserve a dangerous low-health ceiling. Paying Max Health requires judgment in longer Ranked fights, but the mixture of bruiser stats, weapon mastery, guard pressure, and confirmed Wind routes keeps the build near the top.
Tamayo S Tier Mythic Titan 0.9% Tier Chance Key stats: +175 Health · +75 Stamina · +17% Additional Damage Factor · +1 Damage Reduction · +4% Health Regen Best fit: Hybrid support, solo sustain, parties, PvE, and coordinated boss runs.	Tamayo moves from A to S because V0.2 fixes the only major weakness in an otherwise game-changing support kit. Max Health rises from 113 to 175, Max Stamina from 25 to 75, and Additional Damage Factor from 12% to 17%, with +1 flat Damage Reduction added on top. Pharmaceutical Skills is now attached to a Clan that can survive long enough to exploit it. The ring restores 20% Max Health and resets every cooldown once per person. In parties it can restart an entire team rotation; in solo play it effectively gives your strongest sequence another turn. Demon Coagulant and Blood Bewitchment prevent the Clan from being passive support. The jab holds targets and applies -20% Additional Damage Factor, while the aura punishes attackers with movement, stamina-drain, and Block Regen penalties. Ranked’s lack of automatic out-of-combat healing increases the value of Tamayo’s active sustain. The ring still needs placement and timing, and the Clan lacks Uzui’s reactive dodge or Kamado’s Demon package, but the upgraded stats remove the old solo-play tax and justify S tier.
Himejima S Tier Mythic Sentinel 0.9% Tier Chance Key stats: +195 Health · +90 Stamina · +17% Additional Damage Factor · +2 Damage Reduction · +5% Damage Reduction Factor · +10% Block Regen · +3 Block Points Best fit: Tanky melee builds, M1-heavy setups, PvP, bosses.	Himejima remains S for its complete defensive bruiser package. Block Regen, reflection, flat reduction, Health, and Stone Skin still contribute across styles, while V0.2 improves the natural Stone pairing in both general PvE and close-range pressure. Stone Z now has hyper armor. That makes an important approach harder to interrupt, although Himejima still takes damage during the armored window. Stone Z, X, and C also deal 30% more damage to NPCs and bosses, substantially improving the Clan’s farming and bossing build. Repetitive Action rewards skill damage followed by M1s. Axe and Mace’s previous damage and swing-speed improvements help deliver that sequence, but its slower feel and mitigation formula still require direct testing rather than adding every percentage together on paper. Ranked’s halved refinement bonuses narrow some external tank scaling, but the Clan’s native defense remains intact. Himejima is not the fastest S-tier pick, yet it remains one of the hardest to dislodge and one of the safest recommendations for players who prefer winning the second rotation.

Soyama S Tier Supreme Ascendant 0.1% Tier Chance Key stats: +255 Health · +128 Stamina · +22% Additional Damage Factor · +2 Damage Reduction · +6% Damage Reduction Factor Best fit: PvP duelists, counter-heavy players, burst setups.	Soyama stays S for players who can turn a read into immediate offense. Combat Intuition banks successful damage while adding temporary defense, then converts that pressure into a Weapon, Breathing, or Demon Art bonus. Bell Splitter is less forgiving in V0.2 because every counter now has more windup. The successful counter still stuns, slows movement, and reduces fist damage, but reactionary panic use is easier to bait. A failed stance also prevents attacks for two seconds. Shockwave remains a natural pairing, although Compass Needle rises from 13 to 16 seconds in Ranked. Z still strict stuns, C remains steerable, and X breaks hyper armor. Shared counter cooldowns mean the two counters offer different triggers, not independent safety nets. Soyama’s Supreme stats and damage conversion preserve the S-tier ceiling. It now asks for cleaner anticipation than Uzui or Kamado, which is why it moves to the bottom of S rather than leaving the tier entirely.
A Tier - Excellent Clans
Kocho A Tier Legendary Phantom 4% Tier Chance Key stats: +112.5 Health · +26 Stamina · +12% Additional Damage Factor · +5% Movement Speed Best fit: Insect Breathing, Poison and mobile sword builds.	Kocho moves to the front of A because V0.2 substantially improves the Insect kit it is built to amplify. Insect Z scaling rises from 42% to 57%, and Z and V gain 30% more block damage, giving Poison Draw Mode better raw pressure and a more meaningful reward after contact. Fluttering Sting (C) leaps 10% faster with 20% more range. Combined with Kocho’s movement and dash bonuses, the build can establish its poison route from more practical spacing instead of relying on an opponent to walk into a narrow approach. Hundred-Legged Zigzag drains 2.5% Max Stamina per second instead of 4%, while the ultimate deals 25% more damage. Kocho’s 5% cooldown reduction and +20% Insect damage make those all-mode buffs especially valuable across longer rotations. A tier still fits because the older startup, cooldown, and invincibility nerfs were not fully reverted. Poison Draw Mode is dangerous once active, but its death poison remains disabled in Arena and Ranked and the build still lacks the universal safety of the S-tier Clans.
Tomioka A Tier Legendary Technician 4% Tier Chance Key stats: +117 Health · +24 Stamina · +15% Additional Damage Factor Best fit: Water Breathing, longer fights, economy/progression.	Tomioka remains a high A-tier Water specialist, but V0.2 separates its excellent PvE identity from a weaker Ranked conversion game. Tidal Blood still slows targets hit by Water skills by 20% for five seconds, and three Water’s Clarity stacks still add 15% Water damage. Ranked trims several Water routes. Z stun falls from one second to 0.7, X cooldown rises from 13 to 15 seconds, C scaling drops from 100% to 80%, and V uses hyper armor instead of i-frames with shorter stuns. Tomioka’s bonuses remain strong, but they are attached to fewer guaranteed openings. Flowing Motion can still reset two random skills. The second rotation is valuable in bosses and extended fights, although the random selection prevents one guaranteed route from carrying the ranking. Series weapon effects continue to work through Water skills, preserving the intended equipment synergy. Tomioka remains one of the best dedicated Water Clans, but Kocho now leads A because its matching style received broader all-mode improvements.
Agatsuma A Tier Mythic Phantom 0.9% Tier Chance Key stats: +157.5 Health · +90 Stamina · +19% Additional Damage Factor · +5% Movement Speed · +4% Stamina Regen Best fit: Thunder Breathing, Katana, aggressive mobility builds.	Agatsuma remains A as a dangerous Thunder specialist with a wider PvE case. V0.2 gives Thunder Z and X 25% more damage against NPCs and bosses, so Sleepless Knight’s damage and cooldown bonuses now produce a noticeably better farming and boss rotation. Godspeed moves faster in all modes, rising from 50 to 65 dash speed. The improved chase helps Agatsuma convert its dash and Thunder bonuses into contact instead of merely looking fast while the target escapes. Ranked keeps the build honest. Godspeed deals 40% less block damage and cannot catch during its first 0.2 seconds, while the universal ultimate cooldown increase reduces access to the biggest payoff. The Clan remains excellent when Thunder is the plan and merely good outside it. Its corrected dash momentum, damage, cooldown, and low-health identity keep a strong ceiling, but the Ranked checks prevent an S-tier all-purpose recommendation.
Douma A Tier Mythic Tank 0.9% Tier Chance Key stats: +180 Health · +95 Stamina · +18% Additional Damage Factor · +5% Stamina Regen · +1 Damage Reduction · +5% Damage Reduction Factor Best fit: Demon/Evil Art builds, PvP, defensive weapon setups.	Douma remains a strong A-tier defensive pick. Extrasensory Perception’s attack dodges and Speed & Reflex’s clone return can recover an exchange in ways that a larger Health number cannot. Ice Manipulation is still the natural control pairing, but V0.17 lowers Z’s block damage, adds a 0.1-second windup and three seconds of cooldown to X, and prevents X from being inserted freely mid-combo. Only the ultimate’s final hit now guardbreaks, so the clan can no longer lean on the old Ice pressure route. Being able to return to the clone while stunned remains valuable against combo pressure. We still need more time to assess its priority against strict stuns, grabs, and the current ranked latency before treating it as an answer to every catch. Poison/Flame resistance and Evil Art/Weapon mastery support alternative builds, which is why Douma does not fall with Ice. A tier reflects a strong defensive ceiling that depends on clone placement and timing; exact recovery interactions remain TBA.
Shabana A Tier Legendary Titan 4% Tier Chance Key stats: +108 Health · +25 Stamina · +13% Additional Damage Factor · +5% Movement Speed Factor Best fit: Demon builds, M1 pressure, bosses, coordinated parties.	Shabana remains A overall, with an S-tier ceiling in a coordinated group. Core Detachment gives the user and nearby allies a major damage, Max Health, and defensive window, with a short linger after leaving. The broader gear-health increase makes exact stacking and healing interactions worth retesting. Poison Generation adds stacking percentage-Max-Health Blood Poison to M1s. That remains valuable in longer fights, but boss caps and practical stacking limits are still TBA. Kocho and Iguro losing on-death poison in Arena/Ranked does not establish the same restriction for Shabana’s separate Blood Poison. Blood Manipulation remains heavily nerfed, although V0.182 adds 10% PvE scaling to On Slaught (C). The required Sickles still have weaker Z damage, scaling, speed, and block pressure, plus reduced X block damage. Blood/Sickles is usable for farming, but it is no longer the pairing carrying Shabana’s tier. Obi is now the cleaner offensive partner. Its Z, X, and C gain much stronger block damage, V traps trigger 25% faster and deal 30% more damage, and the ultimate cannot be interrupted. Siblings Bond and Core Detachment still reward organized parties, so Shabana’s coordinated ceiling improves even though solo performance remains less consistent.

Urokodaki A Tier Rare Technician 12% Tier Chance Key stats: +69 Health · +9% Additional Damage Factor · +4% Movement Speed Best fit: Water Breathing, mask users, progression and party play.	Urokodaki remains A as the easy-to-use Water specialist. Its Water damage and stamina efficiency still apply on every rotation, even though Whirlpool loses its stun escape and Water Wheel tap now uses regular rather than strict stun. Mask of the Master grants +15% Damage Reduction Factor while wearing a mask. V0.18 fixes the effect disappearing after death or a save-slot switch, so Urokodaki’s main defensive passive is finally dependable across normal play sessions. Water Surface Slash’s approach i-frames add another layer without turning the entire attack into invulnerability. Water mastery, EXP, and nearby-party stamina support make Urokodaki especially comfortable for progression. The Water Wheel hold threshold rising to 0.25 seconds also reduces accidental hold casts, improving control even though it is not a direct power buff. Choose Urokodaki for passive consistency or Tomioka for the higher active ceiling. Tomioka’s V0.182 slow and Clarity buffs create the stronger optimized Water build, while Urokodaki remains easier to use and excellent for progression. Sustained equal-gear boss rotations remain TBA.
Iguro A Tier Mythic Duelist 0.9% Tier Chance Key stats: +165 Health · +85 Stamina · +20% Additional Damage Factor · +5% Movement Speed Factor · +1 Damage Reduction Best fit: Serpent builds, Poison, Katana, dueling and active repositioning.	Iguro remains A after the earlier passive Movement Speed Factor reduction from 25% to 5%. Flash Step still supplies active repositioning, but V0.17 removes another source of PvP value: Iguro’s on-death poison is disabled in the PvP Arena and Ranked. Kaburamaru retains homing pressure, percentage-Max-Health bites, poison, and a close bind during ordinary combat. Exact boss caps and guaranteed attacks inside the bind remain TBA; percentage-health damage is not automatically uncapped boss damage. Serpent’s Wrath and Master Swordsman support Serpent/Katana builds, but Serpent V gains another 0.25 seconds of windup. C also has its shorter range from the previous patch, while X protects the grabbed target from everyone except Iguro, reducing coordinated burst value. The result is a capable duel specialist rather than a universal mobility pick. Plan Flash Step and Kaburamaru around a real opening instead of expecting passive speed or an Arena death proc to rescue a bad approach.
Sabito A Tier Rare Duelist 12% Tier Chance Key stats: +75 Health · +10% Additional Damage Factor Best fit: Water Breathing and Katana builds.	Ghost Attendance gives +100% Dash Speed Factor and +15% Sword Damage Factor, exceptional combat value for a Clan in the Rare pool. Expert Swordsman adds +20% Katana mastery, so progression and the eventual end build naturally point in the same direction. The Family Bond Water bonus is party-dependent, and Water’s V0.17 stun rollback makes it harder to treat every starter as a guaranteed route. Sabito still supplies mobility and Sword damage independently of those lost strict stuns. Sabito lacks the toolbox of a Supreme Clan, but it remains A as a focused Water/Katana pick. The increased gear-health environment favors its repeatable mobility more than a single fragile combo assumption.
B Tier - Good, Usable Clans
Ubuyashiki B Tier Legendary Titan 4% Tier Chance Key stats: +127.5 Health · -10 Stamina · -6% Additional Damage Factor Best fit: Farming, progression, utility and PvE.	Ubuyashiki is bizarre but useful: +10% EXP and +2% Drop Luck immediately make it attractive when you're farming rather than sweating over PvP. Soothing Voice disabling an opponent's block for five seconds is genuinely strong, and the Demon Slayer summon works in both PvP and PvE. Self-Destruct brings another unusual offensive option, while 50% resistance to Poison, Flame, and Frost gives the clan respectable defensive utility. The problem is the stat penalty. Losing Stamina and Additional Damage Factor is a serious price, so this is much easier to recommend as a progression clan than a pure combat clan.
Makomo B Tier Rare Sentinel 12% Tier Chance Key stats: +72 Health · +10% Block Regen · +4 Block Points Best fit: Defensive Water/Katana builds.	Makomo stays B for defensive Water/Katana play. Ghost Attendance adds dash speed and Sword damage, giving the clan a practical offensive option alongside its guard stats. Water’s improved X extension and faster Wheel tap make the pairing more useful, but do not prove every dash-to-sword follow-up is guaranteed. Learn the contact range before spending the next skill. Extra Block Points and Block Regen help defense, but post-guardbreak recharge can be canceled by another hit. Find space to recover rather than expecting the bonus to carry you through uninterrupted pressure. The Water damage Family Bond needs a matching party. Urokodaki offers more consistent solo Water bonuses and mask defense, while Tomioka brings resets. Makomo remains viable when its defensive and party strengths suit your character.
Yahaba B Tier Rare Technician 12% Tier Chance Key stats: +64.5 Health · +10% Additional Damage Factor Best fit: Arrow Evil Art and Demon party builds.	Yahaba stays B as an Arrow specialist. Arrow’s faster held Z, armored X continuation, and longer ultimate travel improve the opportunities to land skills and trigger Arrow Regen. They do not guarantee every ranged approach will connect. Disruption Pulse adds a close punish with movement and damage debuffs. Its combo potential is useful, but knockback still needs a follow-up that reaches the target; exact post-patch links remain TBA. Arrow Regen supports repeated exchanges after a skill lands. It grants stamina regeneration rather than a full refund, so misses and expensive pursuit can still leave you without defensive resources. The Susumaru/Yahaba party bonus adds more Evil Art and general damage. That raises the group ceiling, but the smaller baseline kit and unresolved PvP confirms keep Yahaba B.

Susumaru B Tier Rare Technician 12% Tier Chance Key stats: +60 Health · +9% Additional Damage Factor · 50% Additional Damage as displayed Best fit: Tamari and Evil Art builds.	Tamari skills restore 5% Max Stamina and temporarily add another 2% Additional Damage Factor, giving the intended build a nice offensive loop. The Susumaru/Yahaba party effect is strong when available, adding both Evil Art damage and general Additional Damage Factor. The separate 50% Additional Damage stat is potentially important, but its exact scaling versus Additional Damage Factor is still TBA. Until I can isolate what that number is actually doing, I'm not inflating Susumaru's placement based on it alone.
Kaneki B Tier Uncommon Titan 23% Tier Chance Key stats: +40.5 Health · +5% Movement Speed · +5% Additional Damage Factor Best fit: General early-game use.	Kaneki is the strongest general-purpose member of the Uncommon family group, combining its best movement bonus with the highest Health of the offensive variants. The extra 5% Additional Damage Factor is universally useful instead of forcing you into one Breathing Style or Evil Art. Family Bond can also add 5% Health Regen in a matching party. Nothing flashy, but this is a perfectly respectable roll while you're building your character.
Yamagiri B Tier Uncommon Titan 23% Tier Chance Key stats: +42 Health · +22 Stamina · +5% Stamina Regen Best fit: Stamina-hungry leveling builds.	Yamagiri trades the other Uncommons' damage and movement for a much healthier stamina package. Extra Max Stamina plus 5% Stamina Regen helps repeated skills and movement. It does not reduce Insect V’s drain as a percentage of the maximum bar; exact channel duration with regeneration remains TBA. Family Bond adds another 5% Health Regen when grouped with the matching clan family, making Yamagiri a comfortable early-game sustain choice.
Kurotsume B Tier Uncommon Titan 23% Tier Chance Key stats: +34.5 Health · +5% Movement Speed · +5% Additional Damage Factor Best fit: General mobility/offense while leveling.	Five percent movement and five percent Additional Damage Factor is a clean, universally useful pair of bonuses. Kurotsume gives up a little Health compared with Kaneki, which is basically the only reason it sits below it. The shared Family Bond regeneration is a nice extra in parties, but this remains a temporary good roll rather than something you'd build an endgame character around.
Aoshima B Tier Uncommon Titan 23% Tier Chance Key stats: +36 Health · +4% Movement Speed · +5% Additional Damage Factor Best fit: General early-game offense.	Aoshima has no gimmick to play around: you simply get Health, movement, and a small universal damage increase. That's enough to make it useful while progressing, particularly before you've settled on a permanent Breathing or Demon Art setup. It loses to Kaneki and Kurotsume on raw movement efficiency, but we're talking about inches rather than worlds.
Aori B Tier Uncommon Titan 23% Tier Chance Key stats: +39 Health · +3% Movement Speed · +5% Additional Damage Factor Best fit: General early-game use.	Aori gives you the same 5% Additional Damage Factor as the other offensive Uncommons, with a slightly more Health-heavy spread. The lower movement bonus puts it behind Kaneki, Kurotsume, and Aoshima for me, but the difference isn't large enough to make it a bad roll. Family Bond's Health Regen gives it a little more value in a matching party.
C Tier - Starter Rolls and Limited Bonuses
Yukimori C Tier Common Technician 60% Tier Chance Bonus: 30% Additional Damage as displayed Best fit: General offense, pending exact stat scaling.	Yukimori has the most eye-catching offensive number among the Commons, which at least makes it worth noticing before you instantly hit reroll. Additional Damage is presented separately from Additional Damage Factor, and its exact practical scaling is still TBA. I'm not treating this as a straight 30% final-damage increase until I can isolate it properly. With no skills or passives behind it, Yukimori still has a much lower ceiling than any proper build-defining clan.
Kanzaki C Tier Common Technician 60% Tier Chance Bonus: 20% Additional Damage as displayed Best fit: Basic offensive leveling.	Kanzaki is essentially the weaker version of Yukimori's raw Additional Damage roll. The exact scaling of the separate Additional Damage stat is still TBA, and there is no broader kit to fall back on while I test it. Fine as a starting roll; not something I'd protect once better clans start appearing.
Mori C Tier Common Tank 60% Tier Chance Bonus: +1 Damage Reduction Best fit: Basic defensive builds.	Flat Damage Reduction is universally relevant and is more appealing to me than several of the tiny Common resource bonuses. Unfortunately, +1 is all Mori does. There is no active skill, scaling passive, or build synergy to raise the ceiling. Useful at the beginning; completely overshadowed once proper defensive clans become available.
Kurosaki C Tier Common Sentinel 60% Tier Chance Bonus: +10% Block Regen Best fit: Block-heavy playstyles.	Ten percent Block Regen is at least a coherent defensive bonus rather than a handful of generic points. Players who block properly will get more from Kurosaki than someone who relies entirely on dodging and aggression. Himejima and Makomo show how much stronger block-focused clan packages can get, so Kurosaki remains a starter option.

Hozumi C Tier Common Sentinel 60% Tier Chance Bonus: +3 Block Points Best fit: Defensive early-game characters.	The extra Block Points can buy you another little bit of breathing room before your guard collapses. That's useful in principle, but Hozumi doesn't provide anything once the fight moves beyond blocking. It works as training wheels for a defensive player, not as a long-term clan choice.
Aokawa C Tier Common Technician 60% Tier Chance Bonus: +3% Additional Damage Factor Best fit: Any early offensive build.	A universal 3% Additional Damage Factor is never useless, which makes Aokawa one of the cleaner Common rolls. It works regardless of your eventual Breathing Style, Demon Art, or weapon. Three percent simply isn't enough to compete with clans giving double-digit damage bonuses plus actual abilities.
Saito C Tier Common Technician 60% Tier Chance Bonus: +2% Additional Damage Factor Best fit: Generic early offense.	Saito's bonus works with basically everything, which is preferable to having a completely dead stat for your build. The issue is simple: Aokawa does the exact same job better, and higher-rarity clans leave both of them in the dust. Keep it only until the spinner decides to stop being rude.
Tsukino C Tier Common Titan 60% Tier Chance Bonus: +18 Max Health Best fit: Generic early survivability.	Tsukino provides the largest pure Health bonus among the Common clans here. Extra Health works in every activity, so at least you never have to build around it. The amount is tiny compared with Rare-and-above Health bonuses, making it a short-term convenience rather than a reason to stop rolling.
Ando C Tier Common Titan 60% Tier Chance Bonus: +16.5 Max Health Best fit: Generic early survivability.	Ando gives a straightforward Health bump with no conditions attached. That's useful during the earliest progression, but Tsukino already does the same thing slightly better. There isn't enough here to justify keeping it once you have spare spins.
Suzuki C Tier Common Tank 60% Tier Chance Bonus: +1% Damage Reduction Factor Best fit: Basic defensive play.	Damage Reduction Factor is a good stat to have, but one percent is simply too small to define a build. Compare it with Urokodaki gaining 15% from a mask or Supreme clans starting with 6% before their other effects and the gap becomes obvious. It technically helps everywhere; it just doesn't help very much.
Kuroaki C Tier Common Titan 60% Tier Chance Bonus: +13.5 Max Health Best fit: Basic leveling.	The new +13.5 Max Health bonus is better than literally nothing, which is about the highest praise I can give Kuroaki. Tsukino and Ando already provide stronger versions of the exact same bonus. There is no skill, passive, or specialist interaction here to compensate.
Fujiwara C Tier Common Technician 60% Tier Chance Bonus: +9 Max Stamina Best fit: Early stamina management.	Nine extra Stamina gives you a little more room for abilities, movement, and extended fights. Resource-heavy builds will feel it more than everyone else, but the increase is still very modest. Once you see how much Stamina proper clans provide, Fujiwara becomes an easy reroll.
Sakurai C Tier Common Technician 60% Tier Chance Bonus: +7 Max Stamina Best fit: Early stamina management.	Sakurai is Fujiwara with an even smaller Stamina bonus. It can smooth out the earliest part of progression, but seven points aren't changing the way you play. There's no reason to prefer it once virtually any higher-rarity option appears.
Hagiwara C Tier Common Titan 60% Tier Chance Bonus: +2% Health Regen Speed Best fit: Light sustain while leveling.	Health Regen is comfortable to have during questing and repeated PvE fights. Two percent is nowhere near enough to compete with clans that combine regeneration with actual Health, damage, and defensive effects. Useful quality of life; not meaningful build power.
Kazetani C Tier Common Technician 60% Tier Chance Bonus: +2% Stamina Regen Speed Best fit: Early stamina sustain.	More Stamina Regen always helps, especially before your build has other resource-management tools. At only two percent, though, this is more background convenience than something you'll actively notice in a fight. Yamagiri is the obvious upgrade if you want the same general idea with actual substance behind it.
Fukukoshi C Tier Common Phantom 60% Tier Chance Bonus: +2% Movement Speed Factor Best fit: General movement.	Movement Speed is one of those stats that's never truly bad, because Slayers 2 gives you plenty of reasons to move. Two percent is a modest boost beside dedicated dash tools such as Sabito’s Ghost Attendance. Iguro’s passive movement bonus has also fallen to 5%, so the old 25% comparison no longer applies. Take the free speed while you have it, then keep spinning.
Toka C Tier Common Phantom 60% Tier Chance Bonus: +2% Movement Speed Factor Best fit: General movement.	Toka is functionally the same proposition as Fukukoshi: a tiny universal movement boost. It helps everywhere but specializes in nothing, and two percent isn't enough to materially change combat. Perfectly harmless as a first roll, completely replaceable as soon as something better appears.

Best Clan in Slayers 2

Uzui is my early V0.2 pick for the best overall Clan in Slayers 2. Enhanced Hearing still creates a 25% damage window, while Musical Score now dodges a recorded skill for two seconds and returns after 42.19 seconds instead of 56.25. Vital Draw’s Muscle result also lasts 11 seconds instead of six, giving a good roll enough time to matter outside the first frantic M1 exchange.

Kamado, Rengoku, Shinazugawa, Tamayo, Himejima, and Soyama complete my S Tier. Kamado remains the best Demon Clan and broadest low-execution recommendation, but Headbutt no longer shuts off block and Combat Intuition converts less damage in Ranked. Rengoku and Shinazugawa remain elite offensive specialists, Himejima owns the defensive bruiser role, and Soyama preserves a high counter-based ceiling. Tamayo is the newcomer after gaining 175 Health, 75 Stamina, 17% Additional Damage Factor, and +1 Damage Reduction.

Kocho now leads A tier because V0.2 substantially improves Insect’s damage, block pressure, range, stamina efficiency, and ultimate payoff. Tomioka remains the strongest dedicated Water Clan, but Water’s Ranked-only stun, scaling, cooldown, and i-frame nerfs make that ceiling less universal. Agatsuma gains a better PvE case from 25% more Thunder Z and X damage against NPCs and bosses, while Douma’s recovery becomes more useful when Ranked no longer provides automatic out-of-combat healing.

How Clans Work in Slayers 2

Clans have received a considerable overhaul compared with the original Project Slayers. Rather than every Clan simply amounting to a collection of extra stats, the Slayers 2 system can give a Clan several different layers:

Clan Feature	What it Does
Stats	Increase or modify your character's stats.
Skills	Unique abilities that you actively use.
Passives	Effects that remain active without needing to be triggered. Some may also come with drawbacks.
Mode	Certain Clans can have an additional state activated after filling a Mode bar.

This makes comparing Clans considerably more interesting. A small damage increase might look good on paper, for example, but I'd happily trade it for an excellent active ability, better survivability, faster progression, or a passive that dramatically improves an already strong build.

Not every Clan necessarily has the same combination of features, either, so I'll judge each one individually rather than treating rarity as a shortcut for power.

Slayers 2 Clan Rarity Chances

There are 41 Clans in Slayers 2, split across six rarity tiers. The percentage shown in the roll menu is the chance of landing that rarity tier, not a guaranteed individual chance for every Clan inside it. These are the current in-game Clan rarity chances:

Rarity	Rarity Tier Chance	Number of Clans
Supreme	0.1%	4
Mythic	0.9%	6
Legendary	4%	4
Rare	12%	5
Uncommon	23%	5
Common	60%	17

Rarity tells you how hard a Clan is to roll, but it is not a perfect power ranking. Rare Clans such as Urokodaki and Sabito can be excellent when their bonuses match your build, while some much rarer rolls are more specialized or progression-focused. Check what the Clan actually does before you sacrifice it to the gacha gods.

All Slayers 2 Clans, Rarities, Stat Buffs, Skills & Passives

This is the section you'll want if you're deciding whether to keep your current Clan or spin it away. I'll maintain the complete Slayers 2 Clan database below, including every important effect, rather than making you jump between several different pages just to figure out what your roll actually does. So, without further ado, here's every clan in Slayers 2 and their full list of effects:

The percentage shown beside each clan is the in-game roll rate for that clan's rarity tier.

All Slayers 2 Clans, Skills, Stats and Passives
Clan	Skills, Stats & Passives
Supreme Clans - 0.1% Tier Chance
Kamado Supreme · 0.1% Tier Chance Ascendant	Skills Indomitable Will: Two activation methods. Tap: a burst around the user that shoves nearby enemies away, stuns them briefly and marks them with Fear, slowing their movement and their dash. Hold: a much larger zone placed where the user is standing, stunning everyone inside for as long as they stay and stunning them again on the way out. Regen Adrenal: Demon only. Grants +14% Health Regen Speed for 7 seconds, and health keeps regenerating in combat for that window. Combat Intuition: Stores the damage the user takes for 10 seconds. In general modes, Stored Damage x 0.1 becomes Damage Potential; Ranked uses x 0.07 instead. Damage Potential is added to the user's Weapon and Breathing or Demon Art damage. Pressing the key again ends storage early and cashes it in; letting the window run out cashes it in anyway. The bonus lasts 7 seconds. Headbutt: The user pulls their head back then snaps forward, knocking the opponent straight down instead of backward. V0.2 removes its previous three-second block shutdown, so the target can guard normally after recovering. Passives Enhanced Speed: +5% Movement Speed Factor. Pain Resistance: The user is not slowed at low health. Adaptive Breathing: Below 35% health, gain +5% Health Regen Speed. Below 30% stamina, gain +5% Stamina Regen Speed. Also grants Sun Immunity. Damage Reduction Factor: Below 25% health, gain +10% Damage Reduction Factor. Stats Max Health: +262.5 Additional Damage Factor: 23% Max Stamina: +130 Sun Immunity Damage Reduction: +2 Damage Reduction Factor: 6%
Rengoku Supreme · 0.1% Tier Chance Ascendant	Skills Indomitable Will: Two activation methods. Tap: a burst around the user that shoves nearby enemies away, stuns them briefly and marks them with Fear, slowing their movement and their dash. Hold: a much larger zone placed where the user is standing, stunning everyone inside for as long as they stay and stunning them again on the way out. Heart Ablaze Mode: A flame aura burns anyone who hits the user for 2% of their own Max Health per second over 3 seconds, and the user gains +18% Additional Damage Factor, +5% Movement Speed Factor, +5% Stamina Regen Speed and +20% Burn Damage Factor. Passives Pain Resistance: The user is not slowed at low health. Master Swordsman: +20% Katana and Weapon mastery. Ignition Hit: The first M1 of a new combo string ignites the enemy with tick damage for 3 seconds. Also burns Purgatory, Flame Undulation, Flame Tiger and Blazing Universe. Burn does not stack. Status Immunity: Takes 50% less Flame damage, and is immune to Indomitable Will. Stats Max Health: +277.5 Additional Damage Factor: 26% Max Stamina: +125 Damage Reduction: +2 Damage Reduction Factor: 6%
Soyama Supreme · 0.1% Tier Chance Ascendant	Skills Indomitable Will: Two activation methods. Tap: a burst around the user that shoves nearby enemies away, stuns them briefly and marks them with Fear, slowing their movement and their dash. Hold: a much larger zone placed where the user is standing, stunning everyone inside for as long as they stay and stunning them again on the way out. Combat Intuition: Applies +8% Damage Reduction Factor for 12 seconds and stores a share of the damage the user deals in that window: 75% of what lands on players and 50% of what lands on NPCs. Stored Damage x 0.1 becomes Damage Potential, which is added to the user's Weapon and Breathing or Demon Art damage. Pressing the key again ends storage early and cashes it in; letting the window run out cashes it in anyway. The bonus lasts 7 seconds. Bell Splitter: Tapping the key enters a stance. Getting hit during the stance triggers a counter that parries the blow and leaves the opponent stunned, with -30% Movement Speed Factor for 3 seconds and -35% Additional Damage Factor with fists for 10 seconds. A stance that catches nothing leaves the user unable to attack for 2 seconds: no skills and no swings, though they can still block and dash. Passives Enhanced Speed: +5% Movement Speed Factor. Pain Resistance: The user is not slowed at low health. Stats Max Health: +255 Additional Damage Factor: 22% Max Stamina: +128 Damage Reduction: +2 Damage Reduction Factor: 6%
Uzui Supreme · 0.1% Tier Chance Ascendant	Skills Enhanced Hearing: The user stomps the ground, releasing a circular shockwave and marking everyone caught with a golden aura. For 10 seconds, marked enemies take 25% more damage from the user. V0.17 increases the activation range by 20%. Vital Draw: Tapping this skill randomly draws one of 3 passives, each pulsing its own aura once from the user. Heart: a warm green aura pulse, restoring 150 health instantly. Muscle: a white aura pulse, dodging the next 5 M1 hits and granting +15% Additional Damage Factor with fists for 11 seconds. Lungs: a red aura pulse, granting +150 Max Stamina for 15 seconds and instantly restoring 150 stamina. Musical Score: One activation starts the capture, and the skill imprint commits immediately without a second confirmation press. When the recorded skill returns, Musical Score stuns the attacker and lets Uzui dodge that skill for 2 seconds. V0.2 reduces its cooldown from 56.25 to 42.19 seconds. Exact listening duration and imprint lifetime: TBA. Passives Enhanced Speed: +5% Movement Speed Factor. Indomitable Will Immunity: Immune to Indomitable Will. Tactical Intellect: +25% Quest Exp Factor. Pain Resistance: The user is not slowed at low health. Poison Conversion: Grants full immunity to Poison. V0.17 removes the previous effect that converted poison damage into healing. Stats Max Health: +247.5 Additional Damage Factor: 21% Max Stamina: +135 Damage Reduction: +2 Damage Reduction Factor: 6%

Mythic Clans - 0.9% Tier Chance
Agatsuma Mythic · 0.9% Tier Chance Phantom	Skills Enhanced Hearing: The user stomps the ground, releasing a circular shockwave and marking everyone caught with a golden aura. For 10 seconds the marked enemy takes 20% more damage from the user. Sleepless Knight Mode: Dealing damage charges the bar; once full the key press activates a thunder aura granting +20% Thunder Damage Factor, +3% Additional Damage Factor, -5% Movement Speed Factor, +35% Dash Speed Factor and +12% Cooldown Reduction Factor. The replacement dash now carries normal dash momentum; this is not an additional i-frame effect. Passives Master Swordsman: +20% Katana and Weapon mastery. Tactical Intellect: +25% Quest Exp Factor. Unconscious Combat: Timid State, above 90% health: -5% Attack Speed Factor. Struggle Mode, below 60% health: +12% Additional Damage Factor, +4 Additional Damage and +5% Stamina Regen Speed. Enhanced Speed: +5% Movement Speed Factor, and Flaming Thunder God burns what it hits. Stats Max Health: +157.5 Movement Speed Factor: 5% Additional Damage Factor: 19% Max Stamina: +90 Stamina Regen Speed: 4%
Douma Mythic · 0.9% Tier Chance Tank	Skills Extrasensory Perception: The user dodges the next 3 incoming attacks, skill or M1. Speed & Reflex: Leaves a clone standing where the user is. Pressing the key again within 12 seconds pulls them back to it from any distance, shaking off any stun or knockdown as they arrive. Castable while stunned. Passives Pain Resistance: The user is not slowed at low health. Reactive Adaptation: Takes 50% less Poison and Flame damage. Keen Intellect: +25% Evil Art and Weapon mastery. Stats Max Health: +180 Stamina Regen Speed: 5% Additional Damage Factor: 18% Max Stamina: +95 Damage Reduction: +1 Damage Reduction Factor: 5%
Himejima Mythic · 0.9% Tier Chance Sentinel	Skills Stone Skin Mode: Enemies who M1 the user take 15% of the damage they dealt back, and the user gains +10% Damage Reduction Factor, +5% Movement Speed Factor, +4% Stamina Regen Speed and +5% Health Regen Speed.

Passives Pain Resistance: The user is not slowed at low health. Tactical Intellect: +25% Quest Exp Factor. Repetitive Action: Skill damage banks into a temporary M1 bonus: 100 skill damage grants +3 M1 damage. Stacks, and fades after 8 to 10 seconds. Stats Max Health: +195 Block Regen: 10% Additional Damage Factor: 17% Max Stamina: +90 Damage Reduction Factor: 5% Damage Reduction: +2 Block Points: +3
Iguro Mythic · 0.9% Tier Chance Duelist	Skills Kaburamaru: Hold to aim, release to send the serpent. At long range it homes in on the target and bites it repeatedly for 6 seconds, each bite dealing 2% Max Health tick damage and applying Poison, 1% Max Health per second for 4 seconds, which does not stack. Up close it latches straight onto the target instead, and a second key press binds them for 1.3 seconds. The snake lasts 4 seconds on the opponent. Flash Step: Hold to vanish for up to 1.5 seconds and fly wherever the user steers, camera up and down included. Release to reappear. Serpent's Wrath Mode: Grants Flash Step, a white aura dash that vanishes for a second before reappearing, plus +20% Serpent Damage Factor, +5% Additional Damage Factor, +5% Movement Speed Factor and +4% Stamina Regen Speed.

Tamayo Mythic · 0.9% Tier Chance Titan	Skills Pharmaceutical Skills: Places down a healing ring that restores 20% Max Health and resets all cooldowns, once per person. Demon Coagulant: A swift jab that catches everyone in front of the user and holds them while a dose goes in, then throws them down. The dose deals 3 seconds of tick damage and applies -20% Additional Damage Factor for 5 seconds. Missing costs the user nothing. Blood Bewitchment: Releases a purple perfume aura around the user for 5 seconds. Any opponent that lands a hit on the user while inside the aura is inflicted with Bewitched for 4 seconds: -6% Movement Speed Factor, +6% Stamina Drain Rate, and -3% Block Regen.

Best Slayers 2 Clans by Playstyle

If you don't care which Clan technically ranks one position higher and just want the best option for your character, use the recommendations below. The revised kits make the difference between universal Clans and specialist Clans even clearer: some are strong on almost anything, while others become ridiculous only after the right Breathing Style, Blood Demon Art, weapon, or party setup clicks into place.

If you already know what kind of build you want to play, these are the clans I’d prioritize:

Best all-rounder - Uzui: Musical Score now avoids the recorded skill for two seconds and has a much shorter cooldown, while Enhanced Hearing, Vital Draw, poison immunity, Supreme stats, and progression value cover far more than the natural Sound build.
Best for raw offense - Rengoku: If your plan is to hit hard and keep the pressure on, Rengoku is difficult to beat. Its huge Additional Damage Factor, burn effects, weapon mastery, and Heart Ablaze Mode make it especially nasty with Flame and Katana setups.
Best defensive bruiser - Himejima: Stone Skin, M1 reflection, Block Regen, and skill-to-M1 pressure keep it S despite the mark and Block Point nerfs. Douma is the alternative for evasion and clone-based recovery rather than standing in a trade.
Best Demon clan - Kamado: Sun Immunity, Regen Adrenal, Indomitable Will, low-health defense, and excellent stats still make Kamado the cleanest Demon package. Headbutt no longer disables block, and Combat Intuition converts at 0.07 rather than 0.1 in Ranked, so the Clan now wins through breadth rather than one easy guard sequence.
Best counter-based clan - Soyama: Bell Splitter and Combat Intuition reward good reads and successful offense. Every counter now has more windup, and Shockwave’s Compass Needle has a 16-second Ranked cooldown, so this is a prediction-heavy build rather than a panic-button collection.
Mobility shortlist - Agatsuma, Sabito, and Iguro: Agatsuma suits Thunder pursuit, Sabito supplies a strong dash mode for sword play, and Iguro retains active Flash Step repositioning. Iguro’s passive movement factor is now 5%, so it is no longer my automatic mobility winner.
Best Water clan - Tomioka: Tidal Blood slows by 20% for five seconds, and three Water’s Clarity stacks add 15% Water damage. Flowing Motion and Flowing Counter remain excellent in PvE and longer fights, but Water’s Ranked-only nerfs reduce the number of safe conversions. Urokodaki remains the easier progression and defensive alternative.
Best Thunder specialist - Agatsuma: Sleepless Knight supplies Thunder damage, dash speed, and cooldown reduction. V0.2 makes Godspeed faster and gives Z and X 25% more damage against NPCs and bosses, although Ranked reduces Godspeed’s guard pressure and prevents it from catching during the first 0.2 seconds.
Best Wind specialist - Shinazugawa: Windstorm Vigor supports strict-stun confirmation on Z and V, while the existing block-pressure and speed buffs remain intact. V0.2 adds 30% damage to Z and hyper armor to held V, improving both the payoff and the reliability of its main routes.
Best Insect/Poison specialist - Kocho: Poison Draw Mode grants Insect damage, movement, dash speed, poison damage, and cooldown reduction. V0.2 adds more Z scaling, more Z and V block damage, better C movement and range, cheaper held V stamina drain, and a 25% stronger ultimate. The older startup and invincibility nerfs still keep Kocho in A rather than S.
Best party damage support - Shabana: Core Detachment and Siblings Bond still create an exceptional coordinated window. Blood Manipulation and Sickles remain weaker than their launch versions, but Obi’s stronger guard damage, faster and harder-hitting traps, and uninterruptible ultimate give Shabana a much better current offensive pairing.
Best pure support clan - Tamayo: Pharmaceutical Skills combines a 20% Max Health heal with a full cooldown reset, while Demon Coagulant and Blood Bewitchment control the enemy’s output and resources. V0.2’s much stronger stats remove the old solo-play penalty and push Tamayo into S tier.
Best progression/farming clan - Ubuyashiki: Bonus EXP, Drop Luck, broad status resistance, and a summon make it excellent for farming and general progression, even if its combat stats are noticeably weaker.

Keep clan, weapon, and style effects separate. Axe and Mace’s 5% swing-speed and damage buff improves Himejima’s natural weapon pairing, while the large Sickle nerfs still weaken Shabana/Blood builds. Series weapon effects now persist through Water’s Whirl Pool, Water Wheel, Constant Flux, and Dead Calm, fixing an important Tomioka and Urokodaki compatibility problem. A clan mark can amplify a confirmed route, but it cannot recreate a weapon link the patch removed. Exact cross-skill confirms remain TBA.

Ranked V0.2 makes native Clan tools more important. Refinement bonuses count at half strength and automatic out-of-combat healing is disabled, while skill, item, and passive healing still works. That improves the practical value of Tamayo’s ring, Kamado’s Regen Adrenal, Douma’s recovery, and other built-in sustain without turning every healing Clan into S tier. Outside Ranked, the previous Firstlight and Nightfall equipment interactions remain available to everyone.

What Makes a Clan S Tier?

For Clan rankings, I'm paying particularly close attention to five things. First is combat value. Extra health, damage, stamina, defensive bonuses, unique attacks, counters, block-breaking tools, and similar effects can immediately push a Clan upward.

Then there's utility. A Clan doesn't necessarily need to increase damage if it gives you something equally valuable, such as mobility, crowd control, summons, status resistance, or another effect that's difficult to obtain elsewhere.

Build synergy is a major factor. A specialist can earn S when its strongest setup has a practical advantage, which is why Shinazugawa stays there after Wind gains more Z damage and held-V armor on top of its established pressure. Kocho rises to the front of A because its Insect bonuses amplify a much stronger V0.2 base kit, while Tomioka remains excellent despite Water’s Ranked-only checks. I judge the complete current build, including those limitations.

I also care about progression value. Bonuses to EXP, drops, currency, training, or other forms of progression can save a ridiculous amount of time over the course of an entire character. Finally, there is consistency. I'd rather have several useful effects that benefit me constantly than one spectacular gimmick that works once every five minutes.

How to Reroll Your Clan in Slayers 2

To reroll your Clan in Slayers 2, go back to the character customization/Clan roll screen and spend a Clan Spin. Each roll gives you a new Clan, so don't mash through the screen without checking what you've hit. The game gives you protection before replacing higher-rarity rolls, but I still make a habit of reading the Clan first. Losing the perfect specialist for your build because you were hypnotized by the Spin button is a very avoidable form of suffering.

Rolling or buying a new Clan preserves your Clan skill-tree progress. That removes one of the nastier progression costs from experimenting with another surname. You still replace the previous Clan and lose its current build effects, so rerolling is less wasteful, not consequence-free.

You can get more Spins from Slayers 2 codes and progression rewards, while paid options are also available from the roll screen. Codes change quickly, so check our codes page for the currently active freebies rather than relying on an old code copied into a guide.

Most importantly, don't reroll by rarity alone. Urokodaki is only Rare, for example, but I'd happily keep it on a Water character over several rarer Clans that don't help the build. Before spinning again, compare your Clan's Skills, Passives, stats, and synergies with what you're actually trying to play.

Should You Reroll Your Clan in Slayers 2?

My rule for rerolling is simple: reroll the build, not the color of the rarity tag. If your Clan actively supports what you're using, keep it until you have a real reason to replace it. Here's the short version:

Supreme: Keep it. All four Supreme Clans are excellent and worth building around.
Mythic: Usually keep it. Even the more specialized Mythics have enough stats and utility to justify serious testing before rerolling.
Legendary: Check your build first. Kocho, Tomioka, and Shabana can be fantastic specialists, while Ubuyashiki has real progression value despite its combat penalties.
Rare: Do not auto-reroll. Urokodaki and Sabito are excellent for Water/Katana setups, while Yahaba and Susumaru have useful Evil Art synergies.
Uncommon: Good enough for leveling, especially if the stats fit what you're doing, but these are reasonable reroll targets once you have spare Spins.
Common: Usually reroll once you have Spins to spare. They're single-stat starter Clans with no proper kit behind them.

Slayers 2 Clans FAQ

What is the best Clan in Slayers 2?

Uzui is my early V0.2 pick for the best overall Clan. Musical Score now dodges a recorded skill for two seconds, its cooldown falls from 56.25 to 42.19 seconds, and Vital Draw’s Muscle effect lasts 11 seconds. Kamado remains the easiest premium all-rounder and the best Demon Clan.

How do I get more Clan Spins in Slayers 2?

You can get more Clan Spins from Slayers 2 codes and progression rewards, with paid options also available from the Clan roll screen. Codes change quickly, so check the current Slayers 2 codes list before spending anything.

Can you change Clans in Slayers 2?

Yes. Go to the character customization or Clan roll screen and use a Clan Spin. Rolling or buying a new Clan preserves your Clan skill-tree progress, but you still replace the previous Clan, so check its skills, passives, stats, and build synergy before confirming.

What is the best Clan for a Demon Slayer?

Uzui is my best overall Demon Slayer Clan after V0.2 because its marked damage window, repaired Musical Score defense, Supreme stats, poison immunity, and progression bonus work across many builds. Rengoku remains the safest offensive Flame and Katana pick, while Shinazugawa has the strongest dedicated Wind pairing.

What is the best Clan for a Demon?

Kamado remains my best Demon Clan. Sun Immunity removes an enormous Demon weakness, while Regen Adrenal keeps Health regenerating in combat for seven seconds. Headbutt no longer disables block and Combat Intuition converts at 0.07 in Ranked, but Kamado’s stats, control, sustain, and low-health defense still form the most complete Demon package.

Are Project Slayers Clans the same in Slayers 2?

No. Slayers 2 rebuilt the Clan system around Stats, active Skills, Passives, Modes, and more specialized build interactions. A returning Clan should be judged by its Slayers 2 kit rather than by where it ranked in the original Project Slayers.

What are the Clan rarity chances in Slayers 2?

The current in-game rarity chances are 60% Common, 23% Uncommon, 12% Rare, 4% Legendary, 0.9% Mythic, and 0.1% Supreme. These are rarity-tier chances rather than guaranteed individual odds for each Clan inside the tier.

Should I reroll a Rare or lower-rarity Clan in Slayers 2?

Not automatically. Rarity tells you how difficult a Clan is to roll, not whether it is perfect for your build. Rare Urokodaki and Sabito are good examples of lower-rarity Clans that can be much more valuable when their Water and Katana synergies match your character.

Do all Clans have Skills and Passives in Slayers 2?

No. Common Clans are essentially single-stat starter rolls, while Uncommon Clans add the shared Family Bond passive. Rare, Legendary, Mythic, and Supreme Clans can have much more elaborate combinations of Skills, Passives, Modes, and stat bonuses, depending on the Clan.

Which Clans changed in Slayers 2 V0.2?

Uzui, Kamado, and Tamayo receive direct changes. Uzui gains a true two-second Musical Score dodge, a shorter cooldown, and a longer Muscle draw. Kamado loses Headbutt’s block shutdown and gets weaker Ranked Combat Intuition conversion. Tamayo gains much more Health, Stamina, damage, and +1 Damage Reduction.

Is Kocho S tier after Slayers 2 V0.2?

No, but Kocho now leads A tier. Insect gains more Z scaling, more Z and V block damage, better C speed and range, lower V stamina drain, and a 25% stronger ultimate. Older startup and cooldown nerfs, removed V invincibility, and disabled Arena or Ranked death poison keep the Clan below S.

Is Iguro still the best mobility Clan?

Iguro retains Flash Step, but its passive Movement Speed Factor is only 5%, Serpent V now starts 0.25 seconds slower, and its on-death poison is disabled in Arena and Ranked. It remains a good A-tier duelist rather than the automatic mobility winner; Agatsuma and Sabito are strong alternatives for their own builds.

Why is Shinazugawa S tier?

Wind already had strict-stun routes, stronger block pressure, faster X and C startup, and a quicker ranged tornado. V0.2 adds 30% damage to Mountain Wind (Z) and hyper armor to held Whirlwind Cutter (V), giving Windstorm Vigor an even more dependable way to deliver its damage, movement, and stamina bonuses.

How do the V0.2 Ranked rules affect Clans?

Ranked removes automatic out-of-combat Health regeneration and halves refinement bonuses, while healing from skills, items, and passives still works. Native sustain from Tamayo, Kamado, Douma, and similar Clans therefore matters more, while every counter’s longer windup makes Soyama and other counter-heavy builds less forgiving.

Did Slayers 2 V0.2 change the Clan tier list?

Yes. Uzui moves ahead of Kamado as my best overall Clan, Tamayo rises from A to S after a major stat buff, and Kocho moves to the front of A because its matching Insect kit receives broad all-mode improvements. Kamado stays S, but Headbutt and Ranked Combat Intuition are weaker.

Why is Uzui the best Clan in Slayers 2 V0.2?

Musical Score now dodges the recorded skill for two seconds instead of taking its damage, and its cooldown falls to 42.19 seconds. Vital Draw’s Muscle result lasts 11 seconds, while Enhanced Hearing still applies a 25% damage mark. Those changes add reliable defense to an already broad Supreme kit.

Is Kocho better after Slayers 2 V0.2?

Yes. Insect Z gains much higher scaling, Z and V deal 30% more block damage, C travels faster and farther, held V drains less stamina, and the ultimate deals 25% more damage. Kocho remains A tier because the patch does not fully remove the build’s punishable startups and defensive limitations.

Is Tamayo S tier after Slayers 2 V0.2?

Yes. Tamayo now has 175 Max Health, 75 Max Stamina, 17% Additional Damage Factor, and +1 Damage Reduction. Those stats remove its old solo weakness, while Pharmaceutical Skills still heals 20% Max Health and resets every cooldown once per person. Tamayo is now an S-tier support and hybrid choice.

Huh, that was a long read, wasn't it? Thanks for sticking with me to the very end; I truly appreciate it! I'll continue updating the rankings above whenever new Clans are released, existing Clan effects are changed, or someone discovers a build ridiculous enough to make me reconsider half the tier list.
