Slayers 2 All Clans Ranked — Best Clan Tier List

Clans in Slayers 2 aren't just cosmetic labels — they decide your damage multipliers, passive buffs, and how well your build performs in both PvP and PvE. With so many options to roll for, knowing which clans actually carry their weight matters before you spend hours farming rerolls. This guide breaks down Slayers 2 all clans with a full tier list, notes on what each one does best, and tips on pairing clans with the right breathing styles. Whether you're chasing Rengoku or wondering if a Rare clan is worth keeping, everything you need is below.

How Clans Work in Slayers 2

Helpful resources: beginner guide, comprehensive guide, and tier list.

Every clan in Slayers 2 comes with its own kit: passive stat boosts, unique skills, and often a synergy with a specific Breathing Style, Blood Demon Art, or Evil Art. That design choice means there's no single "best" clan for every player — a clan that dominates in PvP duels might be mediocre for boss farming.

Clans are grouped by rarity, and rarity roughly tracks power, though not perfectly:

• Supreme — the rarest tier, home to the game's top-performing clans
• Mythic — strong, build-defining clans with clear niches
• Legendary — solid options, often tied to one specific playstyle
• Rare — beginner-friendly picks with limited endgame value

According to community tier lists and player testing, S-Tier clans generally offer both higher stat boosts and better skill kits than lower tiers. A few Legendary clans, like Kocho and Tomioka, punch well above their rarity thanks to recent balance changes.

Slayers 2 All Clans Tier List (2026)

Here's the full ranking, updated for the September 2026 buffs and nerfs. Rankings blend PvP and PvE performance, assuming you're using the clan's ideal breathing style or art.

S-Tier Clans: The Best of the Best

These are the clans worth rerolling for. Each one either defines a meta build or does something no other clan can match.

Rengoku — The Strongest Clan Overall

Rengoku is widely considered the highest-DPS clan in the game. It stacks the best damage factor boost in Slayers 2 with heavy burn damage and burn-boosted M1s, so even your basic attacks hit harder than most clans' skills.

The standout tool is Indomitable Will, a free combo extender that also grants a damage increase and damage reflection while in mode. Defensively, Rengoku users resist Fire damage and are immune to the Indomitable Will combo extension from other top-tier clans — a niche perk that matters in high-level PvP. Pair it with Flame Breathing and you have one of the most complete builds available.

Agatsuma — S-Tier Only With Thunder

Agatsuma is a conditional S-Tier: it only earns the top rank if you're running Thunder Breathing, which community tier lists consistently rate as the best breathing style in the game. The clan buffs Thunder's damage directly, adds a damage amplification mark, boosts damage at low HP, and applies burn through Flaming Thunder God.

If you don't have Thunder Breathing unlocked, Agatsuma drops to a mid-tier pick. Treat it as a package deal.

Soyama — Balanced Power for Every Mode

Soyama delivers a massive damage factor boost alongside a free counter skill, a combo extender with stun, and bonus damage when your HP drops. That mix makes it strong in PvP duels and perfectly serviceable in PvE farming. It doesn't specialize as hard as Rengoku, but it also doesn't have a bad matchup.

Uzui — A Better Douma

Uzui combines aggressive offense with the defensive toolkit players loved on Douma. You get damage amplification, extra auto-dodges, and the ability to autoblock skills — something Douma can't do. It also counters poison builds and speeds up XP farming, making it one of the most flexible Supreme clans.

Kamado — The Demon-Friendly Pick

Kamado brings a stun move that slots into combos, top-tier damage and stamina passives, demon regeneration, and sun immunity. Combat Intuition buffs you whenever you lose HP, which keeps your damage rolling through extended fights. For Demon players who don't want to burn a gear slot on sun immunity, Kamado is an easy recommendation.

Kocho — Best Legendary, Best Poison Clan

Kocho is the definitive poison build clan. It buffs poison damage and Insect Breathing, applies debuffs through its skills, and makes you fully immune to poison yourself. Since poison damage shows up often in PvP, that immunity alone wins matchups. The catch: you need Insect Breathing to get full value.

Tomioka — Water Finally Got Good

After Water Breathing received buffs, Tomioka shot up the rankings. You get strong cooldown resets, an overall damage buff, and a specific boost to Water — now one of the best breathing styles in the game. If you already invested in Water, Tomioka is the natural clan to chase.

A-Tier Clans: Strong but Situational

Himejima and Douma both reward a defensive, reactive playstyle — great if that's how you like to duel, but weaker in modes where avoiding damage is the priority. Shinazugawa is the sleeper pick here: its weapon and EXP progression boosters make grinding noticeably faster, even if it never tops a damage chart.

B-Tier and C-Tier Clans: What to Avoid

Not every clan is worth keeping. Here's the honest breakdown:

• Tamayo (Mythic) — Healing and cooldown resets make it a decent team PvE support pick, but it has no passives and its debuffs are too situational to compete with A-Tier options.
• Sabito & Makomo (Rare) — Both function like budget Urokodaki clones focused on Water. With Water's recent buffs they're usable, but they're strictly stepping stones.
• Yahaba (Rare) — The best of the C-Tiers thanks to its combo extender. Arrow Manipulation has some PvE value, but that's where the upside ends.
• Susamaru (Rare) — Tamari isn't a strong Evil Art, so this clan reflects that. It's only worth using as a beginner pick if you're partied with another Susamaru or Yahaba player.

If you roll any of these and you're past the early game, keep rerolling.

Best Clan and Breathing Style Combos

Clan value depends heavily on what you pair it with. These combinations are based on community testing and tier list consensus:

The general rule: match your clan to a breathing style it explicitly buffs, or pick a clan like Soyama, Uzui, or Kamado that performs well regardless of your style. For a deeper look at which styles are worth building around, Destructoid's Slayers 2 clan tier list tracks the same meta shifts.

How to Pick Your Main Clan

Work through these questions before committing:

1. Do you have Thunder Breathing? If yes, Agatsuma jumps to S-Tier. If no, skip it.
2. Do you main PvP or PvE? Rengoku and Soyama dominate both; Shabana and Tamayo only shine in group PvE.
3. Are you a Demon or a Slayer? Kamado's sun immunity is huge for Demons; Douma boosts Demon progression.
4. Do you have a breathing style already invested? Kocho without Insect Breathing or Tomioka without Water loses most of its value.
5. How much rerolling can you stomach? Supreme clans like Rengoku are rare — if you can't grind for one, Kocho and Tomioka are realistic Legendary targets with S-Tier payoff.

If you're early in the game, don't stress over landing a Supreme clan immediately. Sabito, Makomo, or Yahaba can carry you through early PvE while you save rerolls for a serious attempt at Rengoku or Soyama.
