Slayers 2 Families Ranked — Best Clan Tier List

If you're rolling clans in Roblox Project Slayers 2 and wondering which ones are actually worth keeping, this Slayers 2 families ranked breakdown has you covered. Clans (also called families) aren't just flat stat boosts anymore — each one comes with unique passives, mode bonuses, and playstyle-defining skills. That means picking the right family can be the difference between melting bosses in seconds and getting combo-locked in every duel.

Below you'll find the full Slayers 2 families ranked tier list, from the game-breaking S-Tiers down to the C-Tiers you should reroll on sight. Rankings reflect the September 2026 balance pass, community testing, and player experience across both PvP and PvE content.

How We Ranked Every Family in Slayers 2

Not all clans are created equal, and not all of them are "bad" — some are just locked to specific Breathing Styles or Evil Arts. Our rankings weigh four main factors:

• Raw damage output — damage factor boosts, burn/poison stacking, and mode multipliers
• PvP utility — auto-dodges, stuns, combo extenders, and counters
• PvE value — boss damage, cooldown resets, and progression boosts
• Build flexibility — whether the clan works with any style or only one specific setup

A clan that's S-Tier with Thunder Breathing might drop to B-Tier with anything else. We note those caveats throughout.

Why Clans Matter More Than Ever

In the original game, clans were mostly passive stat sticks. In Project Slayers 2, families have active skills tied to their mode, plus unique immunities and debuffs. Community reports consistently show that a top-tier clan can add 30–50% more effective DPS compared to a bottom-tier roll with the same breathing style and gear.

Slayers 2 Families Ranked: Full Tier List

Here's the quick-reference table before we break down each tier in detail.

Now let's go tier by tier and explain exactly why each family landed where it did.

S-Tier Families — The Best Clans in Slayers 2

These are the clans you should be actively rolling for. Each one either defines a meta build or works across nearly every playstyle.

Rengoku — The Undisputed #1

Rengoku is widely considered the strongest family in the game right now. It has the single highest damage factor boost available, stacks burn damage through its mode, and its burn-enhanced M1s hit harder than most special skills. On top of that, Indomitable Will gives you a free combo extender, its mode adds damage reflection, and it carries fire resistance plus immunity to the Indomitable Will extend used by other top clans. That last part is huge defensively in mirror matchups.

Agatsuma — S-Tier With Thunder Only

Agatsuma is a conditional S-Tier: pair it with Thunder Breathing and it's elite. You get a Thunder damage buff, damage amplification marks, a low-HP damage boost, and burn application through Flaming Thunder God. If you're not running Thunder, it drops noticeably — but with the right style, it's one of the best damage clans in the game.

Soyama — Free Counter Value

Soyama combines a massive damage factor boost with a free counter skill, which is enormous in PvP. Its toolkit also includes a combo-extending stun and bonus damage when you drop below a health threshold. It's one of the most flexible S-Tiers because it doesn't depend on any single breathing style.

Uzui — The Better Douma

If you like defensive dueling, Uzui is essentially a superior version of Douma. You get damage amplification, extra damage buffs, auto-dodges, poison resistance, and autoblock on skills. It also speeds up XP farming, making it a fantastic all-rounder for players who want one clan that does everything.

Kamado — Best for Demons and Slayers Alike

Ignore the underwhelming headbutt — everything else on Kamado is elite. You get a strong combo stun, top-tier damage and stamina passives, demon regeneration, sun immunity, and Combat Intuition, which buffs you as your HP drops. For demons who don't want to waste a gear slot on sun immunity, this is a top pick.

Kocho — The Poison Queen

Kocho is the best family for poison builds, but it's tied to Insect Breathing. In exchange, you get poison damage buffs, insect-specific buffs, strong PvP and PvE debuffs, and full poison immunity. Within its niche, nothing beats it.

Tomioka — Water's Best Friend

Tomioka climbed into S-Tier after Water Breathing received significant buffs. Its cooldown resets are excellent, and it provides both a general damage buff and a Water-specific boost. If you main Water, this is your clan.

A-Tier Families — Strong, But Not Quite Meta

A-Tier clans are absolutely usable and can carry you through most content. They just lack the raw ceiling of the S-Tiers.

Himejima — Top of A-Tier

Himejima offers a strong damage factor boost with damage reduction and amplification skills. The catch? Some of its power relies on taking damage, which isn't ideal in endgame PvP where avoiding hits is everything. Still, it's versatile across builds and sits comfortably at the top of A-Tier.

Iguro — Serpent's Best Partner

Serpent Breathing is one of the strongest styles in the game, and Iguro's mode amplifies it further. You also get poison build support and a percentage-based damage snake that shreds bosses. It's excellent — just not the best poison clan, since Kocho holds that crown.

Shinazugawa — Progression Powerhouse

Wind Breathing isn't top-tier due to slow start-ups, but Shinazugawa doesn't lean on it heavily. Instead, you get broad damage buffs, poison build tools, and a big boost to both weapon and overall EXP progression. Great for players still leveling.

Douma — The Duelist's Choice

Douma is built for defensive dueling: multiple auto-dodges per skill and a clone swap that escapes combos. It also carries a hefty damage factor buff and boosts demon progression. If you enjoy outlasting opponents, this is your clan.

Shabana — Group PvE Specialist

Shabana shines in coordinated group PvE with its zone damage and ally buffs. Its poison damage is the one universally useful solo skill, which makes it a bit niche — but the passives keep it competitive with other A-Tiers.

B-Tier and C-Tier Families — Reroll Candidates

These clans aren't unplayable, but they're outclassed. If you roll one, consider saving up for a reroll.

Tamayo deserves a special mention: in a coordinated team running boss content, its healing and cooldown resets are genuinely useful. But without passive stat boosts, it can't keep pace with A-Tier clans in solo play.

Best Families by Playstyle

Choosing a clan isn't just about tier — it's about matching your build. Here's a quick guide.

Tips for Rolling Clans

• Don't settle for C-Tier. The gap between C and S is enormous in endgame content.
• Match your clan to your breathing style. A top clan with the wrong style underperforms.
• Check the patch notes. Balance changes shift rankings — Water and Thunder both climbed after recent buffs.
• Stack immunities. Clans like Kamado and Kocho save you gear slots by covering sun and poison immunity.

For official updates and patch notes, keep an eye on the Project Slayers Roblox page, and cross-reference community tier lists like the Destructoid Slayers 2 clan breakdown for second opinions.

Final Thoughts on Slayers 2 Families Ranked

The meta right now clearly favors Rengoku, Uzui, and Soyama for general play, with Agatsuma, Kocho, and Tomioka dominating their specific niches. If you're chasing pure damage, Rengoku is the answer. If you want flexibility, Uzui does it all. And if you main a specific style, stick with the clan that buffs it — synergy beats raw stats every time.

Remember that tier lists shift with every balance patch, so treat this as a snapshot based on the current September 2026 meta and community testing. Roll smart, build around your style, and you'll climb fast.
