KAIZEN Clan Tier List – Best Clans [HAKARI]

Updated on March 15, 2026: Added the Hakari clan. 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.Table of contentsKaizen Clan Tier List - PVP & PVES-Tier ClansA-Tier ClansB-Tier ClansC-Tier ClansD-Tier ClansKaizen 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.

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, Sukuna, Kashimo and Mahito offer the best damage with their buffs that's suitable for PVE. On the other hand for PVP, Gojo has a really strong defensive ability and Uraume and Itadori have really powerful passive abilities that don't suffer from PVP-punishable animation end lag that Mythics do. Speaking of Mythics, the transformations are all on a set timer. Let's dive into each clan below and analyze its stat bonuses, abilities and why they're ranked the way they are.

Kashimo

• Overall Kashimo is only the top 2 Clan in the game if you're using MBA for the skill damage buffs
• If you're not using MBA use Sukuna/Mahito for PVE or Gojo/Uraume/Itadori for PVP

Sukuna
Mythic

Mahito
Mythic
• 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
• Better than Gojo for PVE but about equal for PVP

HakariMythic
• 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

Gojo
Mythic
• Best used for PVP and worse than Mahito and Sukuna for PVE
• That said Infinity is one of the best PVP Clans due to Limitless since it's amazing PVP 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

Kamo
Mythic
• Kamo is lower than other Mythics simply because it buffs an A-Tier CT instead of an S-Tier CT
• It's still pretty great for PVE while for PVP you have the problem of animation end-lag that can be punished
• Still, Flowing Red Scales speed works really well in PVP if you don't get punished for activating it due to the speed boost and heal
Stat Bonuses
+10 Melee
+10 Cursed Energy
+9 Stamina
+13 Defense
+7 Weapon
+3.75% Cursed Energy DMG

+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
• Essentally 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 and the Black Flash is just a passive effect
• 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
• 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 for combos
• Still, the passive is really strong and unpunishable unlike the start-up animations for the active buffs that Mythic clans have
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
• 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
• Inumaki is the best Epic because it buffs a CT for easier hits in PVP
• That said it's not worth it over other Clans and might as well be ranked C-Tier or lower with the other Epics
• I just wanted to pronounce 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
• 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.
