Kaizen Clan Tier List – Best Clans [⛓️HE UPD]

The best clans in Kaizen are the ones in S-Tier below which give the best offense/defense buffs and abilities. The lower S-Tier and A-Tiers are great alternatives for PVP and PVE as well. Here’s my Kaizen Clan tier list and guide.

Best Kaizen Clans Ranked

The best clan in Kaizen is Sukuna if you want max offense boosts and Mahito if you want a great mix of offense and defense. Gojo comes in third with a full focus on defense for PVP and PVE farming, otherwise Kamo, Itadori and Uraume are great alternatives. Let’s dive into each clan below and analyze its stat bonuses, abilities and why they’re ranked the way they are.

S-Tier Clans

S-Tier Clans	Ranking Reasons	Clan Stats
Sukuna Mythic	• The strongest Clan in the game for offense and combines with one of the best CTs • The Sukuna Mark is good by itself giving a damage and defense boost • Overall, you just want it for the massive damage boosts	• 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
Mahito Mythic	• Similar to Sukuna in power and is really tanky with all the Defense boosts in base and ability • The clan ability is just good with everything • Arguably better than Gojo since I prefer focusing on offense	• 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
Gojo Mythic	• Top 3 most powerful clans in the game • The reason I ranked it slightly lower than Mahito and Sukuna is that I prefer Sukuna for damage and Mahito for defense • That said Infinity is one of the best defensive abilities in the game for both PVP and PVE • It does drain CE though so you’ll have to use it tactically to prevent combos • Don’t spam it or you’ll run out of CE fast	• 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.

A-Tier Clans

A-Tier Clans	Ranking Reasons	Clan Stats
Kamo Mythic	• Kamo is a bit lower than other Mythics simply because it buffs a slightly weaker CT • Flowing Red Scales is really strong but it relies on you using BLood Manipulation • If you are maining BM then this is S-Tier • Otherwise it’s slightly less powerful than the other three Mythics but more powerful than Legendaries	• 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
Itadori Legendary	• Drastically weaker than Kamo but still pretty good if you cannot get the higher tiers • Essentally you have a 1 in 10 chance to crit • IMO this is much better than Todo’s slightly better stat buffs	• Stat Bonuses +10 Melee +5 Cursed Energy +5% Melee DMG +10% Max Cursed Energy • Clan Ability: +10% Chance of Black Flash
Uraume Legendary	• Weaker than Kamo and similar to Itadori where you want that 1 in 10 chance to freeze instead of deal extra damage • Freezing is situationally much better than extra damage since it allows combo setups • Much better than Todo’s increased buffs	• Stat Bonuses +10 Melee +10 Cursed Energy +5 Defense +5% Cursed Technique DMG +10% Max Cursed Energy • Clan Ability: +10% Chance of Freeze

B-Tier Clans

B-Tier Clans	Ranking Reasons	Clan Stats
Todo Legendary	• Has better stat buffs than the other Legendaries but their abilities make them slightly better • Still this is the best beginner stat bonus you can get for melee damage builds • Much stronger than Inumaki but I wanted to raise Inumaki above the other Epics so that’s why they’re in the same tier	• Stat Bonuses +15 Melee +10 Stamina +10 Defense +10% Melee DMG +10% Max Stamina +10% Max Cursed Energy
Inumaki Epic	• Inumaki is the best Epic to deal some great damage with Cursed Speech and increase its hitboxes so it’s easier to hit • The stat bonuses are also the same or stronger 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

C-Tier Clans

C-Tier Clans	Ranking Reasons	Clan Stats
Kugisaki Epic	• Weak stat boosts but better than Rares • Kugisaki is a great beginner clan though if you don’t have many spins	• Stat Bonuses +5 Cursed Energy +6 Weapon +5 Defense +5% Weapon DMG +5% Cursed Energy DMG
Uro Epic	• 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

These are just weaker stat boosts than Epics. Keep them if you’re a beginner and don’t have more spins. Otherwise always reroll rares and commons. That’s it for my Kaizen Clan tier list and guide. Check out our Kaizen codes article for the best way to get Clan spins.

The launch of the Shrouded Sky update in ARC Raiders has a few new ways for players to be rewarded for their efforts, and the First Wave Raider Caches should be high on your priority list.

Not to be mistaken with the standard Raider Caches (in terms of their content), this variant is exclusive to the Hurricane map condition. While surviving the storm is filled with horrors and terrors, you can get some amazing loot in the process.

How to get First Wave Raider Caches in ARC Raiders

The First Wave Raider Caches are special containers that you can search for valuable loot. Not to be mistaken for Unconvered Caches, First Wave Raider Caches have been revealed by the strong winds of the Hurricane map event. These caches appear to be bigger than the standard ones (possibly due to the larger number of items).

Finding one is a huge challenge since it’s very hard to locate them in the dark. So far, I have found them on the Dam Battlegrounds and the Blue Gate maps. But some members of the community have also found success on Spaceport and Buried City.

I have marked the locations below (my own and based on the community). I have added the possible spots for Blue Gate and Dam Battlegrounds, but I will add more locations as I find more caches in the days to come.

First things first – the First Wave Raider Caches don’t have fixed locations on the map. Their locations appear to change with the raid, so that’s something to keep in mind. The locations shown on the images below are ‘possible’ spots where you should look. Finding one will also largely depend on your luck. Always look around the bushes because some of the caches can be hidden from open view.

If you’re on Dam Battlegrounds, you can check out the locations marked above.

If you’re on Blue Gate, you check the spots marked on the image above.

Are First Wave Raider Caches worth it in ARC Raiders

First Wave Raider Caches are incredibly valuable to find in the current version of ARC Raiders. I am unsure if the rate of rewards will be changed in the future, but you can find some amazing items. The pool of possible rewards includes blueprints (for weapons and explosives), among other things.

Hence, finding the caches should be your top priority if you’re willing to brave the challenges of the Hurricane.
