KAIZEN Clan Tier List – Best Clans [RYU]

• Overall great for PVE since it’s a damage boost but there are stronger damage boost options
• For PVP I ranked it lower since unlike Okkotsu and other damage boost clans, it’s limited to CE
• This means you can’t use it on a Weapon/Fighting Style build
• So overall A and a downside in flexibility

• Clan Ability: Flawless Flow
Activate to get:
1.3x Cursed Energy
1.15x Cursed Energy Damage
Increased Granite Rain max distance

• The stats are good for a CE build and it’s a bit more flexibile than Ryu since the global buff works for weapons too
• That said the buff is overall weaker than something like Sukuna clan
• Overall a decent pick if you get it but there are stronger options

• Clan Ability: Cursed Overflow
Activate to get:
Global Damage Buff

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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.

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

• Clan Ability: +10% Chance of Black Flash

• 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

• Clan Ability: +10% Chance of Freeze

• 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

• 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

• Clan Ability: +10% Cursed Speech Hitbox

• 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

• Kugisaki but you get movement instead of defense
• The increases are minor either way so reroll this when you can
