Picking the right clan in Slayers 2 is one of the most build-defining decisions you'll make, and rarity alone won't save you if you land something that has no synergy with your Breathing Style or Blood Demon Art. A Rare clan that perfectly fits your build can outperform a Mythic you never actually get value from. This guide breaks down every clan worth knowing, from the reroll fodder at the bottom to the Supreme picks that anchor the strongest builds in the game.
Full Slayers 2 clan tier list
Before getting into individual breakdowns, here's the complete ranking at a glance. Rankings are based on passive stats, active skill quality, build flexibility, and progression bonuses, reflecting the clan roster as of September 2026.

Slayers 2 Clan Tier List: Best Clans for PvP and PvE
S-tier Clans
The four Supreme clans all share a base of +2 Damage Reduction and +6% Damage Reduction Factor on top of their individual bonuses, which is why they hold up in endgame PvP even when a fight goes sideways.
What makes Rengoku the best general clan?
Rengoku carries the highest damage factor of any clan in the game at +26%, and that gap is felt immediately in both PvP and PvE. Ignition Hit pushes burn onto your M1 attacks, Indomitable Will hands you a free combo extender, and Flame mode adds extra damage while reflecting damage back at attackers. The defensive side matters too: Rengoku resists Flame damage and is immune to Indomitable Will, which is the combo extender most other top clans rely on. Master Swordsman accelerates Katana progression on top of everything else. For a Slayer who isn't locked into a niche Breathing Style, this is the clan to stop rerolling for.
What makes Kamado the best demon clan?
Kamado is the most complete pick in the game for demon players. Sun Immunity removes one of the biggest weaknesses demons deal with, and it's the only clan that provides demon regeneration, making that combination uniquely valuable. Combat Intuition converts damage taken into bonus offense, Indomitable Will works as a combo extender, and the passive damage and stamina bonuses rank among the strongest available. The damage reduction while low on health rounds out a kit that covers offense, defense, and demon-specific utility at the same time.
Uzui functions like an upgraded dueling clan. Enhanced Hearing raises your personal damage by 20% for 10 seconds, Musical Score lets you perfectly block a specific skill after reading it, and Vital Draw randomly grants healing, M1 evasion with fist damage, or a large stamina refill. Auto-blocks, Indomitable Will immunity, Poison Conversion, Pain Resistance, and a 25% Quest EXP bonus make this one of the most versatile kits in the roster.
Soyama is the counter-play pick. Combat Intuition banks damage you deal and pays it back as bonus Weapon, Breathing, or Demon Art damage. Bell Splitter stuns and slows a target while weakening their fists on a successful read. Whiffing the counter leaves you exposed, so this clan rewards players who can read aggression rather than mash skills.
Kocho and Agatsuma
Two lower-rarity clans reach S tier, but only on the right build. Put them on anything else and they drop several tiers.
Kocho is the best Legendary in the game and the definitive poison clan, but it only reaches that ceiling when paired with Insect Breathing. It stacks poison damage buffs, Insect-specific bonuses, and skill debuffs that carry in both PvP and PvE, plus complete poison immunity. Base stats are modest at +75 Health, +26 Stamina, and +12% Additional Damage Factor, so the skill package is doing all the heavy lifting. For a dedicated Insect Breathing build, nothing else comes close.
Agatsuma pairs directly with Thunder Breathing and buffs its damage at the source. You also get a damage amplification mark, a low-health damage boost, and burn application through Flaming Thunder God. At +105 Health and +90 Stamina it has the thinnest stats of the Mythics, but +19% Additional Damage Factor plus movement speed and stamina regen make it a fast, aggressive option. Thunder is already one of the strongest Breathing Styles, and Agatsuma makes it stronger.

A-tier Clans
Himejima sits at the top of A tier. Enhanced Hearing marks a target for 14 seconds and makes them take 25% more damage from any weapon. Stone Skin reflects M1 damage while adding reduction and regeneration, and Repetitive Action rewards mixing skills into M1 strings. The catch is that the whole kit is built around absorbing hits, and high-level play is increasingly about not getting hit at all. That keeps it out of S tier despite strong individual skills.
Iguro is the mobility pick, carrying the largest Movement Speed Factor bonus of any clan at +25%. Kaburamaru adds homing pressure, poison, percentage-of-max-health damage useful against bosses, and a close-range bind. Serpent's Wrath boosts Serpent Breathing, already one of the stronger styles. Iguro isn't the best poison clan overall, and its defensive stats trail the Supremes, but for boss farming and mobility-focused builds it's a genuine A-tier option.
Shinazugawa is more flexible than its Wind Breathing association suggests. Windstorm Vigor improves damage, stamina efficiency, and movement. Weapon Versatility grants +25% Katana and Weapon mastery. Unyielding Spirit makes your last 30% of health harder to remove while raising damage. Poison tools are present, though not at Kocho or Iguro level. The combination of weapon mastery, quest EXP, and build flexibility makes it especially useful during progression.
Douma is the defensive duelist. Three auto-dodges per skill and a clone swap that pulls you out of combos give you tools to steal momentum back, and the damage factor is respectable. It also boosts demon progression. Uzui covers similar ground with better offense, which is why Douma stays in A tier rather than climbing higher.
Shahabana earns A tier primarily in organized group PvE. Core Detachment creates a zone granting +25% Additional Damage Factor, +15% Max Health Factor, and +6% Damage Reduction Factor to everyone inside, along with Poison Generation on M1s and ally buffs from Siblings Bond. Solo its ceiling drops noticeably.
Ubuyashiki is the most unusual A-tier pick. Its block-bypass ability makes attacks pierce an opponent's guard completely, which is a real PvP advantage. The summon and detonate skills add pressure, and a 2% enhanced drop luck bonus gives it a specific purpose for item farming. The downside is a -6% Additional Damage Factor with no offensive passives to offset it, so it's a utility pick rather than a damage clan.
B-tier Clans
Tomioka has genuinely strong cooldown resets and a significant Water damage bonus. The problem is that almost everything valuable about the clan is tied to Water Breathing's current standing. If Water gets buffed, Tomioka moves up with it.
Urokodaki follows the same pattern. Water damage bonuses, Water Breathing mastery and EXP, reduced stamina costs, and night vision while wearing a mask are all solid on a Water build. Outside that setup, the value disappears. It's a Rare clan with a surprisingly useful passive damage boost for early progression, which is why it earns B rather than C.
Tamayo concentrates its value entirely in three active skills that apply debuffs, healing, and support effects. There are no passive bonuses, which means you have to land the abilities to get anything out of the clan. That reliance on active skill usage caps its ceiling compared with clans that work passively throughout a fight.
Doma (listed as Doma in some sources and Douma in others, referring to the same clan) in B tier context applies to the version without the full A-tier stat package. The 25% BDA mastery bonus is the most interesting thing here. It's the only clan that provides Blood Demon Art mastery, making it specifically valuable for demons grinding their BDA levels fast.
Uzumaki earns its B-tier placement through a combination of a 25% quest EXP factor, strong anti-poison mechanics that can turn poison effects into healing, Enhanced Hearing for bonus damage, and a defensive skill that can perfectly block incoming abilities. It's a surprisingly versatile kit that doesn't fit neatly into one role.
C and D-tier Clans
Yahaba is the best of the C-tier options because its combo extender has genuine PvP use, and Arrow Manipulation performs acceptably in PvE. It's worth keeping if you're early in progression and don't have better options.
Susamaru is built entirely around Tamari, a Demon Art that sits at the bottom of the rankings because it's outclassed at almost everything it attempts. There's a minor benefit when partied with another Susamaru or Yahaba player, but outside that specific situation it's a reroll.
Makomo is D tier. Increased dash speed, sword damage during its mode, Water-related bonuses, Katana mastery, and some additional damage sound acceptable on paper, but the overall package doesn't compete with stronger options at any rarity level. Replace it as soon as possible.
All Common and Uncommon clans are reroll material. Uncommon clans hand out roughly +23 to +28 Health with small speed or stamina bonuses. Commons give single-line effects like +2% Movement Speed Factor or +9 Max Health. They exist to keep you rolling, not to support a build.
Which clan should you pick for your build?
The single most useful question to ask before stopping on a roll is whether the clan's headline skills match the Breathing Style or Demon Art you're actually running.
About half the clan roster has at least one skill locked to a specific style. Kocho needs Insect, Agatsuma needs Thunder, Iguro wants Serpent, Rengoku wants Flame, and the Water clans all lean on a style that's currently underperforming. Check that overlap before deciding a roll is bad or good.
Clans with no style-specific skills, including Kamado, Uzui, Soyama, and Himejima, pair freely with whatever Demon Art you land. Ice Manipulation and Blood Manipulation lead the Demon Art rankings, with Shockwave strong for counter-play in PvP and AoE pressure in dungeons. Dream Manipulation works well alongside combo-heavy clans like Rengoku or Soyama because its stuns and grab setups create the openings those clans convert into full damage strings.

How to get the most out of your current clan
Most players won't land a Supreme on their first set of rolls. The practical question is whether your current clan is worth keeping while you save for more rerolls, or whether it's actively holding your build back.
A clan that provides no synergy with your Breathing Style or BDA is effectively giving you less than a well-matched lower-rarity clan. Before burning rerolls chasing a Supreme, check whether the clan you have right now has skills that actually work with your setup. Shinazugawa's flexibility, Uzumaki's anti-poison utility, and Doma's BDA mastery bonus are all cases where a non-Supreme clan can carry real value during progression.
