Slayers 2 Clan Tier List – Best Clans [RELEASE]

Updated September 19, 2026: I've gone back through the rankings after the live release. Agatsuma and Kocho move into S Tier now that I've had more time to see how well their Thunder and Insect setups translate into actual fights, while Shabana moves to A Tier overall. Shabana's party utility is still S-tier material, but its strongest value is much more situational when you're playing solo.

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'll also factor in whether a Clan is equally useful to everyone or only exceptional when paired with a particular Breathing Style, Blood Demon Art, race, or playstyle. That distinction matters even more after playing the live build: Agatsuma and Kocho are good examples of specialist Clans whose value shoots up when the rest of the build actually supports them. Some effects are obvious immediately, while others still need more time in PvP, bosses, and longer progression runs before I'm comfortable moving them again.

This is still an early post-launch ranking, not a tier list carved into a Nichirin blade. I'm weighing how these Clans feel in actual fights alongside the obvious value in their kits: damage amplification, survivability, cooldown manipulation, mobility, crowd control, progression perks, and how consistently those tools can be used. A few placements will almost certainly move as we get deeper into endgame PvE and the PvP meta settles.

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.

This ranking covers all 41 Slayers 2 clans in the live launch build and has been updated after roughly 12 hours of post-release play. Roll rates shown below are the rates for each rarity tier, not guaranteed individual clan odds within that rarity.

Slayers 2 Clan Tier List
Clan	Evaluation
S Tier — Best Clans in Slayers 2
Kamado S Tier Supreme Ascendant 0.1% Roll Rate Key stats: +175 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 is the complete package: elite base stats, crowd control, sustain, guard disruption, mobility, and a damage steroid all live in the same clan. Indomitable Will is already one of the nastiest clan tools in PvP, while Headbutt gives you another way to force an opening instead of politely waiting for someone to stop blocking. Combat Intuition turns damage taken into offensive pressure, so even losing an exchange can help set up your next one. Sun Immunity and the extra Demon-only regeneration make Kamado particularly ridiculous on builds that can take full advantage of its entire kit.
Rengoku S Tier Supreme Ascendant 0.1% Roll Rate Key stats: +185 Health · +125 Stamina · +26% Additional Damage Factor · +2 Damage Reduction · +6% Damage Reduction Factor Best fit: Flame Breathing, Katana and aggressive weapon builds.	Rengoku has arguably the best raw offensive stat line in the game, including the highest Additional Damage Factor among the clans we've tested here. Its Flame mode punishes opponents simply for hitting you while simultaneously boosting damage, movement, stamina recovery, and Burn output. Master Swordsman makes Katana progression painless, while Ignition Hit adds even more pressure to normal M1 strings and Flame attacks. Taking half Flame damage and ignoring Indomitable Will also gives Rengoku real defensive value instead of making it a pure glass cannon.
Himejima S Tier Mythic Sentinel 0.9% Roll Rate Key stats: +130 Health · +90 Stamina · +17% Additional Damage Factor · +2 Damage Reduction · +5% Damage Reduction Factor · +10% Block Regen · +5 Block Points Best fit: Tanky melee builds, M1-heavy setups, PvP, bosses.	Enhanced Hearing is the headline: marking someone for 14 seconds and making them take 25% more damage is absurdly good regardless of what weapon or combat style you're running. Stone Skin makes trading into Himejima miserable, reflecting M1 damage while giving you Damage Reduction, movement, stamina regen, and health regen at the same time. Repetitive Action converts skill damage into stacking M1 damage, so the kit naturally rewards alternating abilities and basic attacks instead of mindlessly dumping one or the other. With extra Block Points and Block Regen on top, Himejima is one of the few clans that feels offensively threatening and genuinely hard to break down.
Uzui S Tier Supreme Ascendant 0.1% Roll Rate Key stats: +165 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.	Enhanced Hearing provides an easy 20% personal damage amp for 10 seconds, which is already enough to make practically any offensive setup better. Musical Score is one of the highest-skill defensive mechanics available: learn an opponent's important ability and you can perfectly block it the next time it comes out. Vital Draw can heal, give M1 evasion and fist damage, or massively refill stamina. The random roll prevents it from being completely broken, but none of the outcomes are bad. Indomitable Will immunity, poison conversion, Pain Resistance, and +25% Quest EXP round out a clan that has an answer for almost everything.
Soyama S Tier Supreme Ascendant 0.1% Roll Rate Key stats: +170 Health · +128 Stamina · +22% Additional Damage Factor · +2 Damage Reduction · +6% Damage Reduction Factor Best fit: PvP duelists, counter-heavy players, burst setups.	Soyama combines Supreme-level stats with Indomitable Will, so the baseline is already excellent before you start abusing the rest of the kit. Combat Intuition simultaneously makes you harder to kill and banks your dealt damage into a follow-up Weapon, Breathing, or Demon Art damage boost. Bell Splitter is a legitimate punish tool rather than a decorative counter: land it and the opponent gets stunned, slowed, and heavily weakened with fists. The failed-counter recovery keeps Soyama honest, so this is strongest in experienced hands rather than being a free panic-button clan.
Agatsuma S Tier Mythic Phantom 0.9% Roll Rate Key stats: +105 Health · +90 Stamina · +19% Additional Damage Factor · +5% Movement Speed · +4% Stamina Regen Best fit: Thunder Breathing, Katana, aggressive mobility builds.	Enhanced Hearing's 20% damage mark gives Agatsuma strong value even before Thunder-specific bonuses start doing their thing. Sleepless Knight brings +20% Thunder Damage, huge Dash Speed, and 12% Cooldown Reduction once charged, which makes an already fast style even harder to pin down. Dropping below 60% health activates another sizeable damage and stamina-regeneration spike. After more time with the live build, I'm moving Agatsuma into S Tier. Thunder's speed and pressure make these bonuses much easier to cash in than they looked on paper, although I still want more time with it in longer endgame PvE fights.
Iguro S Tier Mythic Duelist 0.9% Roll Rate Key stats: +110 Health · +85 Stamina · +20% Additional Damage Factor · +25% Movement Speed Factor · +1 Damage Reduction Best fit: Serpent builds, Poison, Katana, high-mobility PvP.	The displayed +25% Movement Speed Factor is outrageous by clan standards. Iguro starts fights with a mobility advantage before Flash Step even enters the conversation. Kaburamaru brings homing pressure, percentage-Max-Health damage, Poison, and a close-range bind, making it useful against both squishier players and chunky targets. Serpent's Wrath pushes the obvious Serpent setup even further while Master Swordsman keeps Katana builds perfectly aligned with the clan. Its defensive stats aren't Supreme-level, but good luck exploiting that weakness when the Iguro player is halfway across the screen again.

Kocho S Tier Legendary Phantom 4% Roll Rate Key stats: +75 Health · +26 Stamina · +12% Additional Damage Factor · +5% Movement Speed Best fit: Insect Breathing, Poison and mobile sword builds.	Poison Draw can roll heavy movement/attack slows, stamina disruption, or Viral Decay's percentage-Max-Health damage, so every successful skill can create extra pressure. Insect Breathing is the obvious home: its skills automatically poison and Kocho receives another +15% Poison Damage Factor. Aerial Sword attacks dealing 25% more damage gives the clan another real offensive angle instead of making the whole kit depend on status effects. My launch experience has pushed Kocho into S Tier. It's still a specialist pick rather than a universal one, but once Insect, Poison Draw, aerial damage, and the movement bonuses are working together, the payoff is strong enough to justify the higher placement.
A Tier — Excellent Clans
Shinazugawa A Tier Mythic Tank 0.9% Roll Rate Key stats: +135 Health · +90 Stamina · +18% Additional Damage Factor · +5% Movement Speed · +5% Health Regen · +2 Damage Reduction Best fit: Wind Breathing, Katana, aggressive bruiser builds.	Windstorm Vigor is exactly what a Wind build wants: more Wind damage, more general damage, lower stamina costs, and extra movement. Weapon Versatility adds +25% Katana and Weapon mastery, giving Shinazugawa excellent progression value alongside its combat power. Unyielding Spirit makes the last 30% of your health bar much harder to remove while simultaneously increasing your damage. It's a monster when built around Wind, but the strongest parts of the kit are more specialized than the universal nonsense sitting in S Tier.
Shabana A Tier Legendary Titan 4% Roll Rate Key stats: +72 Health · +25 Stamina · +13% Additional Damage Factor · +5% Movement Speed Factor Best fit: Demon builds, M1 pressure, bosses, coordinated parties.	Ignore the Legendary label. Core Detachment gives everyone inside the zone +25% Additional Damage Factor, +15% Max Health Factor, and +6% Damage Reduction Factor. That's S-tier utility. Poison Generation puts percentage-Max-Health Blood Poison on M1s and, crucially, those applications stack. Long fights get ugly very quickly. Siblings Bond adds even more Damage Reduction and regeneration while also increasing nearby allies' damage. I'm moving Shabana to A Tier overall after more live play. Its party utility is absolutely S-tier, but solo characters don't consistently exploit the strongest parts of the kit. I want more endgame group testing before moving it back up.
Douma A Tier Mythic Tank 0.9% Roll Rate Key stats: +120 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.	Extrasensory Perception outright dodges the next three attacks, which can completely dismantle an opponent's planned burst sequence. Speed & Reflex is even nastier in practice: you can return to the clone from any distance within the window and activate it while stunned. Poison and Flame resistance cover two annoying damage types, while +25% Evil Art and Weapon mastery makes Douma flexible instead of locking it into one narrow setup. It lacks the oppressive offensive tools of S Tier, but defensively this is one of the hardest clans to play cleanly against.
Tamayo A Tier Mythic Titan 0.9% Roll Rate Key stats: +75 Health · +25 Stamina · +12% Additional Damage Factor · +4% Health Regen Best fit: Support, parties, PvE and coordinated boss runs.	The base stats are underwhelming for a Mythic, but Pharmaceutical Skills makes up for a lot: a 20% Max Health heal plus a full cooldown reset can swing an entire encounter. Demon Coagulant gives Tamayo actual offensive disruption by holding targets and cutting their Additional Damage Factor by 20%. Blood Bewitchment punishes opponents for attacking into your aura with movement, stamina, and Block Regen debuffs. Solo players will feel the weak stat line more. In coordinated PvE, though, Tamayo is the sort of support Clan everyone loves having when their cooldowns are empty. I need more raid and party testing before deciding whether the cooldown reset is enough to push it into S Tier.
Urokodaki A Tier Rare Technician 12% Roll Rate Key stats: +46 Health · +9% Additional Damage Factor · +4% Movement Speed Best fit: Water Breathing, mask users, progression and party play.	Urokodaki is the poster child for why rarity isn't the same thing as strength. +15% Water damage and -10% Water stamina costs is already an excellent specialist package. Throw in +25% Water Breathing mastery and bonus EXP and it becomes one of the best clans for actually building a Water character from the ground up. The real kicker is Mask of the Master: wearing any mask grants +15% Damage Reduction Factor, which is an enormous defensive bonus for a Rare clan. If you're playing Water, rerolling Urokodaki just because the word “Rare” isn't shiny enough would be a spectacular way to make your build worse. Water's live-build value is still settling, so I'm keeping Urokodaki in A while I test the matchup spread more.

Tomioka A Tier Legendary Technician 4% Roll Rate Key stats: +78 Health · +24 Stamina · +15% Additional Damage Factor Best fit: Water Breathing, longer fights, economy/progression.	Flowing Motion resetting two random skill cooldowns can create rotations that simply shouldn't be available that quickly. Water's Clarity steadily builds to +9% Water Damage and -9% Water stamina costs in longer engagements, making Tomioka improve as the fight drags on. Flowing Counter adds another 15% damage to your next Water skill after a successful block, rewarding players who actually defend instead of treating block as a decorative keybind. The random cooldown reset and Water dependency keep it in A for now. For Water players this is still one of the premier options, but I want more post-launch testing before calling the whole package S-tier.
Sabito A Tier Rare Duelist 12% Roll Rate Key stats: +50 Health · +10% Additional Damage Factor Best fit: Water Breathing and Katana builds.	Ghost Attendance gives +100% Dash Speed Factor and +15% Sword Damage Factor, which is a ridiculous amount of combat value for something sitting in the Rare pool. Expert Swordsman adds +20% Katana mastery, so both leveling and the eventual end build naturally point in the same direction. The Family Bond Water bonus is party-dependent, but when active it adds another +15% Water Damage Factor. Sabito doesn't have the giant toolbox of higher-rarity clans, but as a focused Water/Katana pick it absolutely earns A Tier.
B Tier — Good, Usable Clans
Ubuyashiki B Tier Legendary Titan 4% Roll Rate Key stats: +85 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% Roll Rate Key stats: +48 Health · +10% Block Regen · +4 Block Points Best fit: Defensive Water/Katana builds.	Ghost Attendance's +100% Dash Speed and +15% Sword Damage gives Makomo far more combat presence than most low-rarity clans. Extra Block Regen and Block Points make this the defensive sibling to Sabito's more aggressive setup. The +15% Water Damage Family Bond is good when active, but the party requirement makes it less dependable than Urokodaki's or Tomioka's built-in Water bonuses.
Yahaba B Tier Rare Technician 12% Roll Rate Key stats: +43 Health · +10% Additional Damage Factor Best fit: Arrow Evil Art and Demon party builds.	Disruption Pulse is a surprisingly useful PvP tool because the knockback is comboable while also cutting the target's movement and damage. Arrow Evil Art skills also feed stamina regeneration, which helps the intended build stay active. Pairing with Susumaru/Yahaba activates another +10% Evil Art Damage and +10% Additional Damage Factor, but that dependency is what keeps Yahaba in B rather than A.
Susumaru B Tier Rare Technician 12% Roll Rate Key stats: +40 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% Roll Rate Key stats: +27 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% Roll Rate Key stats: +28 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 is noticeable on builds that constantly burn resources through skills and movement. 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% Roll Rate Key stats: +23 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% Roll Rate Key stats: +24 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% Roll Rate Key stats: +26 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% Roll Rate 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% Roll Rate 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% Roll Rate 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% Roll Rate 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% Roll Rate 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% Roll Rate 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% Roll Rate 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% Roll Rate Bonus: +12 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% Roll Rate Bonus: +11 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% Roll Rate 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% Roll Rate Bonus: +9 Max Health Best fit: Basic leveling.	Nine extra Health 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% Roll Rate 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% Roll Rate 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% Roll Rate 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% Roll Rate 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% Roll Rate 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 simply too small to create the kind of mobility advantage you get from clans such as Iguro or Sabito. Take the free speed while you have it, then keep spinning.
Toka C Tier Common Phantom 60% Roll Rate 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

After roughly 12 hours with the live release, Kamado is still my pick for the best overall Clan in Slayers 2. Nothing else gives me quite the same combination of elite base stats, crowd control through Indomitable Will, guard disruption, low-health Damage Reduction, movement, sustain, and Combat Intuition. If you're a Demon, Sun Immunity and the Demon-only Regen Adrenal make the package even harder to argue against.

That does not mean Kamado is automatically the best Clan for every character. Rengoku is terrifying for aggressive Flame and weapon builds, Himejima is brutally efficient when you want to trade and block, Uzui has some of the best technical PvP utility I've used, and Soyama rewards good counter timing. After more launch play, I'm also much higher on Agatsuma with Thunder and Kocho with Insect; both now sit in my S Tier because their specialist bonuses are translating into real fights much better than I initially expected.

So, think of Kamado as the best all-round Clan, not a reason to reroll every other good family name you see. Iguro, Rengoku, Agatsuma, Kocho, and several A-tier specialists can be the better roll for a specific build. The launch meta is still young, and I'll keep moving placements as I get more time with endgame PvE and PvP matchups.

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	Roll 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%
Kamado Supreme · 0.1% 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. 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. Headbutt: The user pulls their head back then snaps forward, knocking the opponent straight down instead of backward and leaving their guard useless for 3 seconds. 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: +175 Additional Damage Factor: 23% Max Stamina: +130 Sun Immunity Damage Reduction: +2 Damage Reduction Factor: 6%
Rengoku Supreme · 0.1% 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: +185 Additional Damage Factor: 26% Max Stamina: +125 Damage Reduction: +2 Damage Reduction Factor: 6%
Soyama Supreme · 0.1% 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: +170 Additional Damage Factor: 22% Max Stamina: +128 Damage Reduction: +2 Damage Reduction Factor: 6%

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 6 seconds. Lungs: a red aura pulse, granting +150 Max Stamina for 15 seconds and instantly restoring 150 stamina. Musical Score: Listens for 6 seconds. The first skill that lands is recorded without blocking or reducing its damage, and a tooltip appears for 6 seconds. Pressing it stores that skill imprint for 30 seconds, and several can be stored at once. The next time a stored skill lands on the user it is perfectly blocked and the imprint is spent. 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: Poison feeds the user: any poison damage heals them for 1.5 times its amount, and only half of it lands. Stats Max Health: +165 Additional Damage Factor: 21% Max Stamina: +135 Damage Reduction: +2 Damage Reduction Factor: 6%

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 first stretch of live play has made 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 — Kamado: The safest premium pick. Strong stats, crowd control, sustain, low-health defenses, damage conversion, and Sun Immunity make Kamado useful on almost any serious 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 clan — Himejima: Extra Block Points, Block Regen, Damage Reduction, reflected M1 damage, and Stone Skin Mode make Himejima one of the hardest clans to bully in a straight fight.
Best technical PvP clan — Uzui: Musical Score, Indomitable Will immunity, Enhanced Hearing, and the random utility from Vital Draw reward players who understand matchups and know when to use their tools.
Best counter-based clan — Soyama: Bell Splitter and Combat Intuition make Soyama ideal if you enjoy punishing mistakes instead of constantly forcing the first move.
Best mobility clan — Iguro: The massive Movement Speed bonus, Flash Step, Serpent's Wrath, and Kaburamaru give Iguro excellent chase, escape, and positioning potential.
Best Water Breathing clan — Urokodaki: Tomioka and Sabito are both excellent options, but Urokodaki gives Water builds a ridiculous amount of value for a Rare Clan: Water damage, reduced stamina costs, mastery, EXP, party support, and 15% Damage Reduction Factor while wearing a mask. Water still needs more post-launch testing before I settle the order permanently, with Tomioka very close behind.
Best Thunder Breathing clan — Agatsuma: This one has only looked better since launch. Sleepless Knight Mode gives Thunder damage, Dash Speed, cooldown reduction, and extra damage, while its mastery and low-health bonuses fit Thunder's fast pressure perfectly. It's one of the specialist Clans I'm comfortable putting in S Tier right now.
Best Wind Breathing clan — Shinazugawa: Windstorm Vigor Mode is basically a checklist of everything Wind wants: more Wind damage, more general damage, cheaper stamina costs, and extra movement speed.
Best Insect/Poison clan — Kocho: Poison Draw Mode, Insect Affinity, Poison immunity, and extra Poison Damage Factor make Kocho the obvious specialist for Insect Breathing and status-heavy builds. After more live matches, I'm comfortable calling the Insect/Kocho package S-tier even though it remains build-dependent.
Best party/support clan — Shabana: Core Detachment is absurdly strong in coordinated groups, giving party members extra damage, Max Health, and Damage Reduction. Siblings Bond adds even more team value on top. I've moved Shabana to A Tier overall, but in a coordinated party it still plays like an S-tier Clan.
Best pure support clan — Tamayo: If you'd rather keep the group alive than top the damage chart, Tamayo brings healing, full cooldown resets, damage reduction debuffs, and stamina/block disruption.
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.

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 another major factor. If a Clan becomes substantially stronger alongside a particular Breathing Style or Blood Demon Art, I'll take that combination into consideration. That's exactly why Agatsuma and Kocho move into S Tier in this update: their general kits are good, but the intended Thunder and Insect setups are strong enough in actual play to push the whole package over the line.

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.

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 around launch, 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 after the first stretch of launch play 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?

After roughly 12 hours with the live release, Kamado is still my best overall Clan in Slayers 2. Its stats, crowd control, sustain, damage conversion, low-health defense, and Sun Immunity work on an absurd number of builds. Rengoku, Himejima, Uzui, Soyama, Agatsuma, Iguro, and Kocho are also S-tier choices depending on your setup.

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 around launch, so check the current Slayers 2 codes list before spending anything.

Can you change Clans in Slayers 2?

Yes. Go to the character customization/Clan roll screen and use a Clan Spin to reroll. Before replacing a good Clan, check its Skills, Passives, stats, and build synergy rather than judging it by rarity alone.

What is the best Clan for a Demon Slayer?

Rengoku is still my safest all-around pick for a Demon Slayer, especially with Flame Breathing or weapon-heavy builds. Agatsuma is excellent with Thunder, Kocho with Insect, Iguro with Serpent, and Urokodaki or Tomioka with Water, so the best Slayer Clan depends heavily on your Breathing Style.

What is the best Clan for a Demon?

Kamado is my best overall Demon Clan in Slayers 2. Sun Immunity removes an enormous Demon-specific weakness, while Regen Adrenal grants +14% Health Regen Speed and lets health keep regenerating in combat for 7 seconds. Its strong stats, Indomitable Will, and Combat Intuition make the rest of the kit useful even before those Demon-specific bonuses.

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.

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.

In the meantime, since you're already here, why not check out our other Slayers 2 guides and tier lists over at our dedicated section for the game. I guarantee you, you won't be disappointed!
