Picking the wrong Grimoire in Clover Origins can set you back hours of progress. With 11 options spanning Common to Mythical rarity, the pool looks manageable until you realize in-game rarity labels are a terrible guide to actual performance. Time Magic and Light Magic sit in a class of their own, while Reinforcement is genuinely not worth your time at any stage of the game. Here is every Grimoire ranked so you can skip the guesswork.
S-Tier Grimoires
Time Magic (Mythical)
Time Magic is the top pick for PvP right now, and it is not particularly close. Its defensive moves are hard to deal with when you know how to use them, and the free Time Mount it provides on unlock is a genuine quality-of-life bonus that other Grimoires simply do not offer. The Ultimate move delivers massive AoE damage, and the moveset as a whole is built for setting up and executing combos, which is exactly what you want in player-vs-player content. It holds up reasonably well in PvE too, so you are never stuck with a dead pick outside of PvP.
The catch: mastering the defensive moves takes real practice. Players who pick this up expecting instant results will get punished.
Light Magic (Mythical)
Light Magic is the best Grimoire in Clover Origins for PvE, full stop. Its DPS output is among the highest in the game, every skill hits with AoE damage, and late-game scaling is excellent. The defensive and mobility moves give it enough PvP utility to avoid being a one-trick pick, but farming bosses and clearing mob quests is where Light Magic genuinely separates itself from everything else.
A-Tier Grimoires
Wind (Legendary)
Wind is the most flexible Grimoire outside of SS tier. The AoE moves are the best in the game at this rarity, particularly after Wind Transformation activates, and clearing entire mob groups with a single move makes it excellent for farming rare drops efficiently. DPS stays consistent against mobs, bosses, and PvP players alike. If you cannot roll Mythical, Wind is where you want to land.
Light Magic AoE damage output
Fire Magna (Epic)
Fire Magna is the best Epic Grimoire in the game and an accessible early pick that scales further than you would expect. It can one-shot mobs with enough investment and handles mid and sub-late game content without much friction. The weakness is real though: it struggles in PvP and against bosses, so treat it as a PvE farming tool rather than a universal solution.
B-Tier Grimoires
Anti Magic (Legendary)
Anti Magic has one of the largest movesets in the game, and the AoE options make it excellent for PvE farming and boss fights. The lifesteal passive adds meaningful survivability, and Demon Transformation can make you nearly unkillable in the right situation. It also scales with both Melee and Sword stats, which gives it flexibility in how you build your character. The downside is a poor PvP showing, so keep that in mind before committing.
Lightning (Epic)
Lightning is a high-ceiling pick that demands accuracy. Every skill deals excellent damage, and Lightning Speed (the C move) is a standout. The mix of ranged and AoE coverage works across both PvP and PvE, and most moves have low cooldowns. The problem: if your aim is off, the DPS drops sharply. Players who can land hits consistently will find this competitive with the S tier picks. Everyone else will be frustrated.
Dark (Epic)
Dark is reliable in a way that Lightning is not. The Z move has a massive range that proves genuinely useful in boss fights, and the AoE damage output makes mid-to-late-game farming smooth. It is not a PvP pick, but for players focused on progression and farming, it gets the job done consistently.

C-Tier Grimoires
Earth (Uncommon)
Earth is the recommended starting Grimoire for new players, and the reasoning is straightforward: it offers a solid mix of offense and defense, the moveset is easy to understand, and it performs well in early-to-mid PvE content including boss fights. It falls off in PvP, but beginners should not be worrying about PvP optimization anyway. If you cannot roll Earth, Fire and Water are acceptable alternatives.
New to the game? Earth is your best starting option because it teaches you how to balance offense and defense without punishing you for mistakes. Fire and Water are solid fallbacks if Earth does not come up in your rolls.
Water (Rare)
Water offers healing and health regen alongside decent damage for a Rare Grimoire, and it holds up in both PvP and PvE at the early-to-mid stage. The inconsistency hurts it though. Several moves are genuinely hard to land, which creates problems in PvP and during boss fights where missed hits cost you significantly.
Fire (Rare)
Fire earns its B tier placement almost entirely through mob farming. The AoE attacks speed up quest clears, the Burn passive adds good damage, and it functions in both PvP and PvE. The problem is scaling: Fire stops keeping up as you push into late-game content and needs to be replaced. Think of it as a bridge Grimoire, not a destination.
D-Tier Grimoires
Regen (Common)
Regen provides healing and health regeneration, which sounds useful until you scale your base health enough that you stop needing it. Once that happens, the minimal damage output becomes a serious liability. It is not useless at the very start, but you should replace it as soon as possible.
Reinforcement (Common)
Reinforcement has no redeeming qualities worth investing in. The moveset is clunky, animations run too long for PvP or fast-paced boss fights, the transformation is the weakest in the game, damage is low across every move, and scaling is poor. According to Pro Game Guides' breakdown, this is the one Grimoire not worth putting any resources into at all.
Do not invest stat points or resources into Reinforcement. The scaling ceiling is too low to justify it at any stage of the game.
What is the best Grimoire for PvP in Clover Origins?
Time Magic takes the top PvP spot. The free mount, the combo-enabling moveset, and the massive AoE Ultimate make it the most complete PvP option in the game right now. Players who put in the time to master its defensive moves will find it nearly impossible to deal with.
What is the best Grimoire for PvE in Clover Origins?
Light Magic is the clear answer for PvE. High DPS, strong AoE on every skill, and excellent late-game scaling make it the most efficient option for boss farming and mob clearing.

Final thoughts
The Clover Origins Grimoire pool has some genuinely strong options at every rarity tier, but the gap between SS and C is significant. If you are farming for a Mythical roll, prioritize Time Magic for PvP or Light Magic for PvE. Stuck with what you have? Wind and Fire Magna are excellent until you get there.
