Sailor Piece Clans Guide
Clans are build multipliers. A strong clan can push a good fruit, sword, race or trait into an endgame-ready setup, but the best clan depends on whether you are farming bosses, pushing raids, playing PvP or building around a specific sword. Last reviewed on 2026-05-13.

How to choose a clan
- Pick damage-scaling clans if your main goal is raids and bosses.
- Choose control or survivability clans for PvP-focused builds.
- Avoid spending rerolls casually; clan rerolls are most valuable after your race and weapon plan is clear.
Best current clan picks
- Upper is the strongest general clan in the current source consensus.
- Eminence is the best raw damage option for aggressive builds.
- Espada, Voldigoat, Alter, Frostbane Clan and Devil all have strong specialist uses.
Clan Reroll Strategy
The biggest mistake is rerolling a useful A-tier clan before your race, sword, fruit and trait are stable. Clans multiply a build, so the same clan can feel weak on a bad setup and excellent after your weapon or race catches up.
Use codes and daily farming to build a reroll buffer first. If you only have a few attempts, keep strong A-tier clans such as Mugetsu, Yamato or Monarch until you know exactly which S-tier clan your build needs.
- Keep S-tier clans unless a patch clearly changes their role.
- Keep A-tier clans while leveling, farming or preparing Sea 2 resources.
- Only chase a named S-tier clan when your target build is already planned.
Best Clan Synergies
Clans should be selected around the activity that currently blocks progress. Eminence and Voldigoat help when damage is the bottleneck, Espada and Frostbane Clan help when control matters, and Devil works best when the rest of your build already supports dark or Shadowborn-style damage.
For sword-heavy routes, Monarch and Frostbane Clan are easier to justify because their value rises when paired with Shadow Monarch, Ice Queen or other control-heavy weapons. For general progression, Upper is safer because it does not force one narrow playstyle.
- Damage routes: Upper, Eminence, Voldigoat, Devil.
- PvP routes: Upper, Espada, Frostbane Clan, Alter.
- Sword routes: Monarch, Frostbane Clan, Devil when the weapon plan matches.
- Beginner routes: keep strong A-tier clans until codes and farming give more rerolls.
Best Sailor Piece Clans by Goal
Use this table before spending rerolls. The strongest clan for PvP is not always the best clan for boss farming or leveling.
| Goal | Best clans | Why | Reroll advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| General endgame | Upper, Alter | Strong across raids, PvP and boss routes without forcing one narrow build. | Worth chasing after your core build is stable. |
| Raw damage | Eminence, Voldigoat, Devil | These clans push burst or single-target damage when clear speed is the problem. | Chase only if you already have a damage-focused fruit, sword or trait. |
| PvP and control | Espada, Frostbane Clan, Alter | Control, survivability and crowd control matter more than pure paper DPS. | Keep if PvP is your main mode; do not reroll casually. |
| Sword synergy | Monarch, Frostbane Clan, Devil | These become stronger when paired with Shadow Monarch, Ice Queen or dark/sword routes. | Keep if your weapon plan matches, even if the clan is not top general rank. |
| Progression safety | Mugetsu, Yamato, Monarch | Strong enough to carry leveling and resource farming before full endgame rerolls. | Do not reroll until you have a clear S-tier target and enough attempts. |
Top Clans Compared
These notes explain why the current S-tier clans are useful, not just where they rank.
| Clan | Main role | Best pairing | Keep or reroll |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper | All-around endgame power | Any high-tier race, sword or fruit setup | Keep. This is the safest general S-tier clan. |
| Eminence | Raw damage scaling | Burst damage builds and boss melt routes | Keep if you care about raids or damage checks. |
| Espada | PvP control and survival | PvP traits, control swords and mobile races | Keep for PvP; less mandatory for pure farming. |
| Voldigoat | Single-target boss melt | Boss routes, raid damage and high uptime weapons | Keep if boss farming is your main goal. |
| Alter | Flexible late-game setup | Hybrid PvE/PvP builds | Keep unless a future patch clearly weakens it. |
| Frostbane Clan | Control and freeze synergy | Ice Queen sword or other control-heavy builds | Keep if you use freeze/control routes. |
| Devil | Dark damage synergy | Shadowborn race, dark builds and aggressive routes | Keep when the rest of the build supports it. |
