Cursed Gear launched on Roblox with 58 clans split across four rarity tiers, and the gap between a Common roll and a Royal roll is enormous. Since rerolls are gated behind a PvP currency you can't even earn until Level 25, knowing which clans are worth keeping — and which ones to burn — matters from the moment you first load in. Below is a full breakdown of every clan rarity, a tier list of the 15 non-Common clans, the reroll process, drop rates, and the Heavenly Restriction trait that throws the entire system sideways.
Quick answer: Nier and Gojo (both Royal) sit at the top for endgame scaling, while Itadori (Unique) is the strongest PvP pick thanks to its guaranteed True Black Flash mechanic. New players under Level 25 should stick with any Common clan for the 25% EXP buff and rush to Tier 2.
Cursed Gear Clan Rarities and Drop Rates
Every time you spin for a clan — whether through your initial roll, a code-based reroll, or the endgame Black Market — the game pulls from a weighted pool. The odds heavily favor Common clans, making anything Rare or above a meaningful event.
| Rarity | Number of Clans | Drop Rate | Passive Trait |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | 43 | 66% | 25% bonus EXP gain |
| Rare | 5 | 25% | Varies per clan |
| Unique | 6 | 8% | Varies per clan |
| Royal | 4 | 1% | Unique passive + Royal Buff (10% scaling on a random attribute) |
Royal clans carry an extra layer on top of their individual passives. The Royal Buff randomly selects one of your six attributes — Physicality, Durability, Output, Efficiency, Awareness, or Dexterity — and applies a 10% scaling buff to it. That buffed stat appears highlighted in gold on your stat screen and lets you push past the SF1 soft cap with meaningful returns, which is a huge deal in endgame stat optimization.
Cursed Gear Clan Tier List
The 43 Common clans all share the same passive (25% EXP gain) and don't have combat-relevant abilities, so they aren't individually ranked here. The tier list below covers the 15 clans that actually change how you fight.
| Tier | Clan | Rarity | Key Passive |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Nier | Royal | +50 Cybernetic Load Cap; auto-upgrades all equipped Cybernetics (max 3 cap still applies) |
| S | Gojo | Royal | Start with 5 Cursed Technique points; increased Technique Energy and Regeneration |
| S | Itadori | Unique | Flow stacks from uninterrupted strikes; at 7 stacks, guaranteed True Black Flash within 3 seconds |
| A | Zenin | Royal | 8% increased damage to non-Royal clans; takes 3% increased damage from Royals |
| A | Kamo | Royal | M1 lifesteal restoring 0.03% max HP per hit (0.5x with sword) |
| A | Kashimo | Unique | 10% chance to apply Shock on hit; 6-second internal cooldown |
| A | Panda | Unique | Passive 6% damage reduction; consume bamboo on expeditions to restore 2% max HP |
| B | Crow | Rare | Devastating Strike ignores the damage cap |
| B | Amai | Unique | M1/M2 deal 10% less damage; all other attacks deal 10% more damage |
| B | Todo | Unique | Larger character size; flat buff + 5% to Physicality and Durability |
| B | Eve | Rare | Increased EXP gain (stacks with leveling focus) |
| C | Storm | Rare | 15% increased damage in Windswept only |
| C | Hazenoki | Rare | Sword M1/M2 deal 10% more damage; takes 10% more posture damage |
| C | Yoshino | Rare | M1 grants +5 movement speed for 7 seconds |
| C | Nishimiya | Unique | Damage increases as HP decreases (up to 10%) |
S-Tier Clan Breakdown
Nier is the ceiling for endgame builds. The +50 Cybernetic Load Cap opens up passive-stacking combinations that no other clan can match, and the automatic upgrade on all equipped Cybernetics eliminates one of the game's biggest resource sinks. Combined with the Royal Buff, Nier players hit stat thresholds faster and harder than anyone else.
Gojo solves the Cursed Technique economy. Starting with 5 CT points means you can invest in powerful skill rotations from the jump, and the increased Technique Energy regeneration keeps those rotations running in extended fights. For PvP players who rely on ability spam, Gojo is nearly unmatched in uptime.
Itadori is the only clan that can force a True Black Flash — the single most devastating hit in competitive duels. The Flow mechanic stacks through Guard-Breaks (2 stacks), M2s and Charged M1s (1 stack each), and Devastating Strikes (2 stacks). Getting hit resets everything. Reach 7 stacks without taking damage, and you're guaranteed a True Black Flash within 3 seconds. In the hands of a player who has mastered parrying, Itadori is the best PvP clan in the game despite not being Royal.
A-Tier and B-Tier Highlights
Zenin deals 8% extra damage to non-Royal clans, which covers roughly 99% of players you'll encounter in Heian Rating matches. The 3% penalty against other Royals rarely matters in practice. Kamo is the premier sustain clan for PvE, letting you lifesteal through boss fights and expedition runs without relying on consumables.
Kashimo's Shock proc interrupts enemy combos involuntarily, creating openings that the opponent can't predict or prevent. The 6-second internal cooldown keeps it from being oppressive, but it's still one of the most disruptive passives in group fights. Panda is the safest PvE pick overall — 6% unconditional damage reduction is rare in Cursed Gear, and bamboo healing during expeditions keeps you topped off when other healing is scarce.
In B tier, Crow stands out for high-Physicality builds because its Devastating Strike ignores the damage cap entirely. Amai is the natural fit for technique-focused builds that avoid melee, and Eve is purely a leveling accelerator for players racing to the Level 150 endgame.
Why C-Tier Clans Fall Short
Storm offers a massive 15% damage buff, but it only works in the Windswept area — making it useless everywhere else. Hazenoki pairs a solid 10% sword damage boost with a crippling 10% posture damage penalty that gets you guard-broken constantly in PvP. Yoshino's movement speed buff is redundant with the Dexterity attribute. Nishimiya's low-HP damage scaling sounds interesting on paper, but the current meta's burst damage usually kills you before the bonus becomes meaningful.
How to Reroll Clans in Cursed Gear
Before Level 25, your only options for changing clans are your initial roll and any free rerolls obtained through promotional codes. The real reroll system unlocks at Tier 2 (Level 25+), when you gain access to the Heian Rating PvP mode and its associated currency.
Step 1: Reach Level 25 to unlock the Heian Rating (HR) system. This is the game's PvP ladder, and winning duels earns HR points.
Step 2: Travel to Neo Shibuya and locate the Kogane NPC, who operates the Neo Shibuya Black Market.
Step 3: Spend 800 HR at the Black Market to reroll your clan. The roll pulls from the same weighted drop table (66% Common, 25% Rare, 8% Unique, 1% Royal).
The Black Market also sells Skill Upgrades (200 HR), Curse Color changes (800 HR, cosmetic only), and Character Customization (200 HR).
Heavenly Restriction — The 1% Wildcard
Heavenly Restriction is a special trait, not a clan itself. It can appear alongside any clan of any rarity when you roll, and it has a 1% chance of triggering. If you reroll your clan later, you lose Heavenly Restriction unless you roll it again.
The trade-off is extreme. You lose all Cursed Energy, which means no Cursed Techniques and no Black Flash. In exchange, you gain a completely different toolkit:
| Buff | Effect |
|---|---|
| Invisibility | Invisible to Curse Sense; can pass through Veils without restriction |
| Automatic Parry | Press F instead of E+F to parry |
| Efficiency Buff | Massive stamina increase |
| Mook Hyang Technique | Activated with T; enters a focus state that enhances the stun of your next move |
The downside is real. Without Cursed Energy, your Gear options become limited and you can't access any technique-based builds. Heavenly Restriction is a fundamentally different playstyle that rewards pure physical combat and positional awareness.
All 43 Common Clans
Full list of Common clans (all share 25% EXP buff)
Fushiguro, Kurusu, Higuruma, Takaba, Star, Tsukumo, Ino, Mei, Tengen, Nanami, Hari, Ishigori, Kuroi, Ui, Geto, Lakdawalla, Amanai, Daido, Miyo, Uro, Shigemo, Miwa, Nitta, Calor, Shallow, Vyria, Kaine, Devola, Pascal, Alighieri, YoRha, Muta, Yaga, Ijichi, Hoshi, Gakuganji, Iori, Kusakabe, Hakari, Inumaki, Okkotsu, Kugisaki.
None of these clans have individual combat passives. Their shared 25% EXP buff is genuinely useful for new players pushing to Level 25, where the endgame systems open up. If you're below Level 25 and sitting on a Common clan, there's no reason to stress — the EXP bonus is doing exactly what it's supposed to do.
Best Clan by Playstyle
| Goal | Best Clan | Why |
|---|---|---|
| PvP duels | Itadori | Guaranteed True Black Flash bypasses RNG and acts as a finisher in skilled hands |
| Endgame stat ceiling | Nier | +50 Load Cap and auto-upgraded Cybernetics enable the strongest passive stacking |
| Technique uptime | Gojo | 5 starting CT points and boosted regeneration keep abilities flowing |
| PvE / boss soloing | Panda | 6% damage reduction and bamboo healing sustain you through long fights |
| HR grinding | Zenin | 8% damage bonus against nearly every opponent in the PvP ladder |
| Leveling speed | Any Common or Eve | 25% EXP buff (Common) or enhanced EXP gain (Eve) to hit endgame faster |
Cursed Gear's clan system rewards patience and planning. With Royal clans sitting at a 1% drop rate and rerolls costing 800 HR each, most players will spend significant time with whatever they initially roll. The good news is that even mid-tier clans like Crow or Kashimo can carry you through progression — and once you hit Tier 2, every PvP win brings you one step closer to the clan you actually want.
