Destructoid Tuesday, March 31, 2026 4:28 AM KAIZEN Clan Tier List – Best Clans [YUTA]       Updated on March 31, 2026: Added Okkotsu and also a better way to rank Clans and reranked the tier list. The best clans in Kaizen depend on whether you're making a build for PVP or PVE. That's why I made two tier lists below and you can use the S-Tier options as your best bets and A-Tiers as alternatives. Here's my Kaizen Clan tier list and guide for both PVP and PVE. Kaizen Clan Tier List - PVP & PVE Image by Destructoid The best clan in Kaizen depends on if you're going for a PVP or PVE build. In general, almost any clan is good for PVE except the Epics and Rares, some just have a higher power ceiling. On the other hand for PVP, the active modes of each clan have a wind-up animation meaning you can get punished when using it. This means that this tier list will rank how worth that mode is to pop in PVP and its power potential. That's also why Uraume and Itadori are quite decent in PVP (not strongest) since they have competitive dueling passives that don't require an animation to activate. Let's dive into each clan below and analyze its stat bonuses, abilities and why they're ranked the way they are. Combine this with our other Kaizen tier lists Cursed Technique Tier List Weapons/Style Tier List All Clan Rankings All Clans PVP and PVE Rankings Clan Stats Okkotsu Mythic UNRANKED due to bugs • The stats are good but the active is currently bugged so I can't rank it yet • Will update when it gets fixed • Stat Bonuses +7 Melee +18 Cursed Energy +8 Stamina +7 Defense +6 Weapon +9% Cursed Energy DMG +10% Max Cursed Energy • Clan Ability: Cursed Overflow BUGGED Kashimo Mythic PVP: S-Tier PVE: S-Tier • Kashimo is the best Clan in the game if you're using MBA for the massive skill damage buffs with active • If you're not using MBA use Sukuna/Mahito for PVE or Gojo for PVP • The Shock status effect is so strong in PVP and the massive AOE damage of MBA+Kashimo make you the strongest in a gang fight • Stat Bonuses +10 Cursed Energy +9 Stamina +13 Defense +6 Weapon +4% CE Damage +3.5% Health +7.5% Max CE • Clan Ability: Mythical Beast Transformation Activate to get: +Increased damage on Mythical Beast Amber +1.3x Global Damage +1.5x Speed +1.5x Dash Range +1.5x Dash Speed +1.075x Attack Speed +%Chance to apply Shock on attacks Gojo Mythic PVP: S-Tier PVE: A-Tier • Best used for PVP • Infinity is one of the best PVP abilities for massive defense • It does drain CE though so make sure to invest into energy and it works best against M1 heavy builds • Stat Bonuses +10 Melee +15 Curse Energy +10 Stamina +10 Defense +7 Curse Energy Damage +20% Max Curse Energy • Clan Ability: Infinity Activate to get: Invisible barrier around you slowing down all nearby movement and hindering attacks. Using it gradually consumes CE while active. Sukuna Mythic PVP: B-Tier PVE: A-Tier • One of the strongest PVE Clans in the game for pure DPS • The Sukuna Mark is amazing both by itself and for giving a chunky damage boost for King of Curses CT • That said, be careful when using it in PVP due to the endlag because you can get punished easily • Kashimo still gives a higher flat global damage boost in its mode • Stat Bonuses +10 Melee +12 Cursed Energy +13 Stamina +13 Defense +9% Cursed Energy Damage +13% Max Cursed Energy • Clan Ability: Sukuna Mark (Cost 500 CE) Activate to get: +1.15x Damage +20% Movement Speed +30 Defence +1 Dismantle Slash +Dash Range of Cleave Grab Increased Hakari Mythic PVP: A-Tier PVE: A-Tier • Even without the active coin flip the dodge chance is really powerful in both PVE and PVP • The stats are also good for a CE build • As for the coin flip the rewards outweigh the negatives since you can deal massive damage or dodge even more • That said it would suck getting stunned in a PVP much • Overall really good for both PVP and PVE • Stat Bonuses +9% Dodge Chance +8 Melee +9 Cursed Energy +15 Stamina +18 Defense +5% Cursed Energy Damage +9% Cursed Energy • Clan Ability: Lucky Flip Activate to get: Flip a coin to get a random buff or debuff Lasts 50 seconds/1 minute CD/250 CE Cost Possible buffs: • Increased Curse Energy by 1.3x • Increased Dodge Chance by 20% • Increased Health 1.25x • Increased Damage by 1.3x Possible debuffs: • Reduced Speed by 0.7x • Stunned for 5 Seconds Kamo Mythic PVP: S-Tier PVE: A-Tier • The massive damage boost on Kamo and the self-sustain make it one of the best clans in the game • It's great in PVE and group fights for the Slicing Storm buff and the heal-on-kill effect • Flowing Red Scales speed works really well in PVP if you don't get punished for activating it for the massive speed boost and damage • Stat Bonuses +10 Melee +10 Cursed Energy +9 Stamina +13 Defense +7 Weapon +3.75% Cursed Energy DMG +3.75% Health +8% Max Cursed Energy • Clan Ability: Flowing Red Scales Activate to get: +50% speed +7.5% attack speed +30% dmg Resets the ability bar and heals 50% HP when an enemy is killed Slicing Storm (Blood Manipulation) shoots an extra projectile Mahito Mythic PVP: B-Tier PVE: A-Tier • Similar to Sukuna in power and is really tanky with all the Defense boosts in base and ability • The clan ability is great for PVP and really strong for PVE thanks to the extra defenses • But like Sukuna the endlag on the animation can be punished by experienced players • Kamo and Kashimo's damage buffs outclass it though • Stat Bonuses +8 Melee +10 Cursed Energy +13 Stamina +17 Defense +6% Cursed Energy DMG +10% Max Cursed Energy +5% Walk Speed • Clan Ability: Instant Spirit Body of Distorted Killing Activate to get: +20 Stamina +20 Defense +12.5% Melee DMG +5% Weapon DMG +12.5% Cursed Energy DMG +5% Speed Itadori Legendary PVP: A-Tier PVE: B-Tier • Essentially, you have a 1 in 10 chance to crit which is strong for both PVP and PVE • Slightly better for PVP when compared to Mythics since there's no endlag or animation to activate the crits • Much better than Todo by far • Stat Bonuses +10 Melee +5 Cursed Energy +5% Melee DMG +10% Max Cursed Energy • Clan Ability: +10% Chance of Black Flash Uraume Legendary PVP: A-Tier PVE: B-Tier • Similar to Itadori where you want that 1 in 10 chance to freeze stun instead of dealing extra damage • Freezing is incredibly good in PVP and PVE for combos • Like Itadori, it's competitive in PVP because you don't have to enter a punishable animation to activate the freezes • Stat Bonuses +10 Melee +10 Cursed Energy +5 Defense +5% Cursed Technique DMG +10% Max Cursed Energy • Clan Ability: +10% Chance of Freeze Todo Legendary PVP: C-Tier PVE: C-Tier • Much stronger than Inumaki and other Epics but much weaker than other Legendaries and above • It's just raw stats that are pretty great for beginners but you want the abilities of higher-tier clans for PVP and PVE • Stat Bonuses +15 Melee +10 Stamina +10 Defense +10% Melee DMG +10% Max Stamina +10% Max Cursed Energy Inumaki Epic PVP: C-Tier PVE: C-Tier • Inumaki is the best Epic because it buffs a CT for easier hits in PVP • That said it's not worth it over other higher-tier Clans • I just want to point out that it gives both better stat buffs and an ability making it better than other Epics • Stat Bonuses +6 Cursed Energy +6 Weapon +5 Defense +5% Melee DMG +10% Cursed Energy DMG • Clan Ability: +10% Cursed Speech Hitbox Kugisaki Epic PVP: C-Tier PVE: C-Tier • Weak stat boosts but better than Rares • Kugisaki is an okay beginner clan to keep if you spent all Codes rerolls and didn't get anything good • Stat Bonuses +5 Cursed Energy +6 Weapon +5 Defense +5% Weapon DMG +5% Cursed Energy DMG Uro Epic PVP: C-Tier PVE: C-Tier • Kugisaki but you get movement instead of defense • The increases are minor either way so reroll this when you can • Stat Bonuses +5 Stamina +5 Weapon +3 Melee +5% Walk Speed +5% Stamina Regen D-Tier Clans This Tier is for Rares and Commons which you should always reroll.
