Slayer 2 Clan Tier List Overview
Clans are one of the biggest long-term decisions in Slayer 2. Each clan provides stat bonuses, passives, and sometimes full skills, and the gap between the best and worst options is significant. This Slayer 2 clan tier list ranks every clan from S+ to F using five criteria: damage output, farming efficiency, PvP value, progression support, and useful bonuses.

| Tier | Clans | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| S+ | Kamado, Rengoku, Uzui, So Yoma | Best all-around picks for damage, defense, or PvP |
| S | Shinobu, Tamayo, Tomioka, Doma, Agatsuma, Iguro, Himejima, Shinazugawa | Strong picks with clear specialization |
| A | Yorokodaki, Kokushibo, Ubuyashiki | Excellent within one breathing or playstyle |
| B | Makamo, Sabito, Susamaru, Yahaba | Good with matching breathing or evil arts |
| C | Aori, Aoshima, Karatsu, Kaneki, Yamagiri | Decent starters with family passives |
| D | Sato, Aokawa, Hozumi, Kurosaki, Mori, Kanzaki, Yukimori | Single small bonuses, temporary |
| F | Ondu, Kuro Waki, Tsukino, Fujiwara, Sakurai, Fukukoshi, Toka, Hagiwara, Kazetani, Suzuki | Minor stat sticks, reroll first |
A lower tier does not always mean reroll. A clan that supports your main breathing, like Kokushibo with Insect Breathing, can outperform a higher-tier pick that does not match your build.
S+ and S Tier: The Best Clans in Slayer 2
The top of this Slayer 2 clan tier list belongs to clans that combine several benefits instead of one narrow bonus.
Kamado (S+)
- Best overall clan
- Strong damage and defense stats
- Control, recovery, low-health passives
- Sunlight immunity and regeneration for demons
- Frees an equipment slot from protective hat
Rengoku (S+)
- High damage factor
- Hard Ablaze for extra damage
- Burn pressure plus defensive stats
- Weapon mastery gain
- Works without a coordinated party
Uzui (S+)
- Strong base stats and quest EXP
- Poison immunity
- Vital Draw: random heal, defense, or stamina
- Musical Score returning stun
So Yoma rounds out S+ with counter and control skills. Combat Intuition rewards you for dealing damage, encouraging an aggressive loop where pressure converts into even more damage. Counters share a cooldown, so timing matters, especially in PvP.
| Clan | Key Strength | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Shinobu | Area buff: damage, max HP, damage reduction | Party boss fights |
| Tamayo | Healing ring that resets cooldowns once per ally | Long group fights |
| Tomioka | 30% discount on eligible purchases, refining, crafting | Saving money |
| Doma | Cold immunity, evil art and weapon mastery gain | Build development |
| Agatsuma | Quest EXP, mastery, Thunder support, low-HP flat damage | Thunder builds |
| Iguro | Serpent mode, snake control, Flash Step | Serpent Breathing |
| Himejima | Stone Skin durability, Repetitive Action, quest EXP | Hybrid M1 plus skills |
| Shinazugawa | Wind damage, quest EXP, low-health protection | Wind builds |
Shinobu and Tamayo rank high specifically because coordinated groups multiply their value. If you usually play solo, a combat clan like Rengoku or Himejima may serve you better.
A to C Tier: Situational and Starter Clans
A-tier clans are strong but conditional. Yorokodaki is an excellent Water Breathing pick, improving water damage, cutting stamina cost, and boosting mastery gain, with mask bonuses for defense and visibility. Kokushibo is much more valuable with Insect Breathing or poison setups thanks to poison immunity, stronger poison, and a mode supporting insect damage, mobility, and cooldowns. Ubuyashiki trades some offensive stats for a 2% drop luck factor and improved EXP gain, which is attractive once you defeat your farming target comfortably.
The 2% drop luck factor does not add 2 percentage points directly to every drop chance. Treat it as a multiplier-style bonus, and weigh it against the offensive stats you give up.
B-tier clans pair well with specific techniques:
| Clan | Best Pairing | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Makamo | Water Breathing | Block support, Ghost Attendance dash and sword damage |
| Sabito | Water Breathing | Stronger offense, weapon mastery gain, best for farming |
| Susamaru | Tamari evil art | Stamina restoration, temporary damage on skill hits |
| Yahaba | Arrow evil art | Knockback that weakens and slows enemies |
Susamaru and Yahaba work especially well together: their party bonus improves both damage factor and evil art damage factor, making them a strong duo for friends who play together.
C-tier clans (Aori, Aoshima, Karatsu, Kaneki, Yamagiri) combine health, movement, damage, or stamina bonuses, plus a family passive improving health regeneration when partied with someone from the matching clan group. They are decent starters, but not worth spending spins chasing.
How to Use This Tier List: Reroll Strategy
A higher tier does not automatically mean you should burn all your spins. Follow this process before rerolling.
Audit Your Current Clan
Identify what your clan actually gives you: one small stat bonus (D/F tier) or multiple benefits plus skills (B tier or higher).
Match Clan to Your Build
Check whether your clan supports your breathing or evil art. Yorokodaki with Water, Kokushibo with Insect, and Iguro with Serpent all punch above their general ranking.
Consider Your Play Mode
Solo farmers should favor combat and drop clans. Group players get far more from Shinobu and Tamayo support kits.
Reroll the Weakest First
Spend spare spins replacing F-tier stat sticks like Ondu, Tsukino, and Suzuki before touching situational A-tier clans.
Keep Utility Clans During Progression
Tomioka saves money on upgrades and Ubuyashiki boosts drops. Both can be worth holding until your build is finished, even if you plan to reroll later.
| Situation | Recommended Clan Type | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh account | Any C tier or above | Aori, Yamagiri |
| Leveling Thunder build | Thunder support plus EXP | Agatsuma |
| Farming drops | Luck plus EXP | Ubuyashiki |
| Buying expensive upgrades | Discount clan | Tomioka |
| Group boss fights | Support or area buff | Shinobu, Tamayo |
| Endgame all-rounder | Full package | Kamado |
If your current clan already works well with your build, a few tiers of difference rarely justifies spending every spin you own. Upgrade the weak spots first.
D and F Tier: Clans to Replace
D-tier clans each improve one small part of your build. Sato and Aokawa give small damage factor bonuses, Hozumi adds block points, Kurosaki improves block regeneration, Mori offers damage reduction, and Kanzaki and Yukimori provide minor damage increases. They can serve temporarily, but stronger clans bundle damage, skills, survivability, and progression buffs together.
F-tier clans give small bonuses to health, stamina, movement, or regeneration and nothing beyond that. They help on day one, but you will never build a character around them. If you have spare spins, these are the first clans to replace.
| Clan | Bonus | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Sato / Aokawa | Small damage factor | Replace when possible |
| Hozumi | Extra block points | Situational at best |
| Kurosaki | Block regeneration | Temporary option |
| Mori | Damage reduction | Temporary option |
| Kanzaki / Yukimori | Small damage increase | Replace when possible |
| F-tier clans | Health, stamina, movement, regen | Reroll first |
Clan Progression Checklist:
- Reroll all F-tier stat-stick clans
- Keep a clan that matches your main breathing
- Hold Tomioka while buying expensive upgrades
- Reach a B-tier or higher clan before endgame farming
- Aim for S or S+ tier for your final build
FAQ
Q: What is the best clan in the Slayer 2 clan tier list?
Kamado is the best overall pick. It combines strong damage and defensive stats with control, recovery, low-health passives, and demon conveniences like sunlight immunity and regeneration. It is not the strongest for every specialized build, but it offers one of the most complete packages.
Q: Should I reroll an A-tier clan for an S-tier one?
Not necessarily. If the A-tier clan matches your build, such as Kokushibo with Insect Breathing or Yorokodaki with Water Breathing, it can be more valuable to your setup than a general S-tier pick. Only reroll when the upgrade clearly fits your playstyle.
Q: Which clan is best for farming drops?
Ubuyashiki is the top farming clan thanks to its 2% drop luck factor and improved EXP gain. Note that the luck factor does not add 2 percentage points directly to drop chances, and it reduces some offensive stats, so use it when you already clear your target comfortably.
Q: Do Susamaru and Yahaba need to be played together?
They work best together. Their party bonus improves both damage factor and evil art damage factor, and each supports the other's matching evil art. Outside those paired setups, you lose part of what makes them useful.
