Choosing the right clan in Cursed Gear is one of the most impactful decisions you will make in this Roblox action RPG inspired by Jujutsu Kaisen and the NieR series. With 58 total clans split across four rarity tiers, ranging from Common to Royal, each one shapes your damage output, survivability, and playstyle in distinct ways. Rerolls are scarce, especially early on, so knowing exactly what you are aiming for before you commit saves you a lot of frustration down the road.
Cursed Gear Clan Tier List: All Clans Ranked
The tier list below focuses on the non-Common clans, which are the 5 Rare, 6 Unique, and 4 Royal options. All 43 Common Clans share the same passive: a flat 25% experience gain bonus, which is useful early but does not factor into combat rankings.

Rolling any of the four Royal Clans (Nier, Gojo, Kamo, or Zenin) also grants the Royal Buff, which randomly selects one of your six attributes (Physicality, Durability, Output, Efficiency, Awareness, or Dexterity) to receive a 10% scaling bonus. This bonus is highlighted in gold on your stat screen and helps push past the SF1 soft cap threshold.S-Tier Clans
Nier is the undisputed endgame king. The +50 Cybernetic Load Cap it provides allows you to stack far more passive cybernetic bonuses than any other build can achieve, and the automatic upgrade feature on all equipped cybernetics eliminates one of the game's biggest resource drains. If you are targeting a min-maxed late-game character, Nier is the ceiling.
Gojo starts you with 5 Cursed Technique points immediately, which provides a crushing progression advantage in early-to-mid game. The increased Technique Energy and faster regeneration translate directly into near-constant skill uptime during PvP rotations, making it the premier choice for players who rely on ability spam.
Itadori is the top PvP clan for skilled players. Its Flow mechanic builds stacks through Guard-Breaks (2 stacks), M2s and Charged M1s (1 stack), and Devastating Strikes (2 stacks). At 7 stacks, you trigger a guaranteed True Black Flash within 3 seconds. Getting hit resets all stacks, so this clan rewards disciplined defensive play. No other clan can force a True Black Flash on demand, making Itadori uniquely dangerous in duels.
Clan rarity tiers at a glance
A-Tier Clans
Zenin deals 8% increased damage to all non-royal clan players, which covers roughly 99% of the server population. The trade-off is a 3% damage increase taken from other Royal clan members, but that penalty rarely matters in standard play. This makes Zenin excellent for grinding Heian Rating.
Kamo applies lifesteal on every M1 hit, restoring 0.03% of max HP per hit (0.5x multiplier with a sword). In prolonged M1 exchanges and boss fights, this passive sustain consistently outpaces incoming damage, making Kamo the strongest PvE clan for solo expeditions.
Kashimo gives attacks a 10% chance to apply Shock on hit, with a 6-second internal cooldown. Shock stuns are involuntary interrupts, breaking enemy combos and creating free reset windows. This is particularly disruptive in group PvP and against high-posture bosses.
Panda provides an unconditional 6% damage reduction at all times, plus the ability to consume bamboo during expeditions to restore 2% max HP. The combination of passive mitigation and active healing makes Panda the most reliable PvE survival option.
info
If you are primarily a PvE player, Panda is the safest long-term investment. The 6% damage reduction stacks meaningfully over long expedition runs where healing resources are limited.
B-Tier Clans
Crow has a niche but powerful effect: its Devastating Strike bypasses the standard damage cap entirely. For high-Physicality burst builds, this creates one-shot potential that no other clan can match. Outside of that specific scenario, Crow offers nothing else.
Amai trades a 10% reduction to M1 and M2 damage for a 10% increase to all other attacks. This is a clean fit for Pure Technique builds that rarely land basic melee hits, but it actively hurts any playstyle that mixes melee and abilities.
Todo increases your character's body size and provides a small flat buff alongside a 5% boost to Physicality and Durability. This helps brawler builds hit high attribute grades like SS5 faster, but the bonuses are modest compared to S and A-tier options.
Eve accelerates EXP gain beyond what Common Clans provide. It is the fastest way to hit Level 150 and max out attributes, but it offers zero combat value after you reach the endgame.
C-Tier Clans
Storm deals 15% increased damage but only while inside the Windswept Cove map area. The potential is real, but the location restriction makes it impractical for any content outside that single zone.
Hazenoki boosts Sword M1 and M2 damage by 10% but also takes 10% increased posture damage, making guard-breaks far more frequent. In competitive play, the posture penalty is punishing enough to negate the damage gain.
Yoshino grants +5 movement speed for 7 seconds after each M1 attack. Movement speed is already addressed by the Dexterity attribute, so this passive adds very little that you cannot get from investing stat points.
Nishimiya scales damage up to 10% as your HP decreases. The comeback mechanic sounds appealing, but the current meta's burst damage output means you will rarely survive long enough at low HP to benefit from it.
What Are the Drop Chances for Each Clan Rarity?
Every time you reroll a clan, the probabilities are fixed:
- Common: 66% chance
- Rare: 25% chance
- Unique: 8% chance
- Royal: 1% chance
This means landing an S-tier Royal clan like Nier or Gojo takes significant investment in HR currency. Plan your reroll budget accordingly.
How to Reroll Clans in Cursed Gear
Rerolling is locked behind the Heian Rating (HR) system, which only becomes available once you hit Tier 2. Here is the exact process:
- Reach Level 25 to unlock Tier 2 and the Heian Rating system.
- Win PvP duels to earn HR points.
- Travel to Neo Shibuya.
- Locate the Kogane NPC at the Neo Shibuya Black Market.
- Spend 800 HR to reroll your clan.
Other things you can spend HR on at the same vendor include Skill Upgrades (200 HR per upgrade, up to Level 5), Curse Color changes (800 HR, cosmetic only), and character appearance customization (200 HR).
warning
Before Level 25, your only reroll options are your initial roll and any free rerolls from active game codes. Do not waste these on impulsive choices. If you land a Common Clan early, keep it for the 25% EXP boost and grind toward Level 25 before spending any rerolls.

What Is Heavenly Restriction in Cursed Gear?
Heavenly Restriction is a special trait that can appear alongside any clan roll, regardless of rarity. It carries a 1% drop chance and fundamentally rewires how your character functions.
Heavenly Restriction Buffs
- Curse Sense invisibility, allowing you to pass through Veils freely
- Automatic parry triggered by pressing F instead of E + F
- Significant Efficiency (Stamina) increase
- Access to the Mook Hyang Technique (T key), which enhances the stun on your next hit. Missing the window causes a brief knockdown
- Extended stun on the opening hit of every combo
Heavenly Restriction Trade-offs
- You lose all Cursed Energy permanently
- Cursed Techniques and Black Flash become unavailable
- Gear selection is restricted to four options: Executioner, Projector, Ravager, and Usurper
Heavenly Restriction is not strictly better or worse than a standard clan. It creates an entirely separate physical combat identity that excels in specific matchups and struggles in others. If you reroll your clan, you lose Heavenly Restriction unless you roll it again.
info
Heavenly Restriction is lost when you reroll your clan. If you have it and want to keep it, think carefully before spending 800 HR at Kogane's Black Market.
