Clans in Sailor Piece apply permanent stat buffs to your character — damage, max HP, luck, and sometimes powerful passive effects that can change how you farm, fight bosses, and progress through endgame content. Choosing the right clan matters more than it might seem at first, especially once you're deep into dungeon runs and boss grinding where every percentage point of damage or luck compounds over time.
Quick answer: The strongest clans right now are Eminence, Upper (new with the Moon Update), Alter, and Espada. Upper offers the highest raw damage bonus at +40%, while Eminence provides the best farming passive with a 25% chance to duplicate drops.
Sailor Piece Clan Tier List (Moon Update)
The Moon Update added Upper as the 12th clan, shaking up the rankings with its massive +40% Damage stat and a melee-focused passive. Below is a full tier breakdown reflecting the current meta.
| Tier | Clans |
|---|---|
| S | Eminence, Upper, Alter, Espada |
| A | Pride, Voldigoat, Monarch |
| B | Mugetsu, Yamato |
| C | Zoldyck, Raikage |
| D | Sasaki |
All S-tier clans share two things: high base damage bonuses and meaningful passive abilities. The gap between S and A tier is noticeable but not enormous — Pride, Voldigoat, and Monarch are all viable for endgame and excel in specific scenarios. Below B tier, clans lack passives entirely and offer significantly lower stat boosts.
All 12 Clans — Full Stats and Passives
Every clan grants a unique combination of flat stat increases. Only the top six clans have passive abilities, which is the main reason they dominate the tier list. Here's the complete breakdown.
| Clan | Stats | Passive |
|---|---|---|
| Upper (NEW) | +40% Damage, +50% Max HP, +12% Melee Damage, +12% Luck | Every skill used has a 20% chance to deal 25% more damage for 8 seconds |
| Eminence | +35% Damage, +55% Max HP, +12% Sword Damage, +12% Luck | Every drop has a 25% chance to be duplicated |
| Alter | +35% Damage, +50% Max HP, +10% Melee Damage, +12% Luck | Every 5 abilities, the next one deals +50% damage |
| Espada | +32% Damage, +50% Max HP, +10% Sword Damage, +10% Luck | Every 10 abilities grants +20% damage for 6 seconds |
| Pride | +30% Damage, +45% Max HP, +10% Sword Damage, +10% Luck | Each hit builds stacks up to +20% damage; resets after 6 seconds of no damage |
| Monarch | +27% Damage, +40% Max HP, +7% Sword Damage, +10% Luck | Every drop has a 20% chance to be duplicated |
| Voldigoat | +25% Damage, +35% Max HP, +7% Melee Damage, +10% Damage Reduction | Enemies below 50% HP take 25% more damage |
| Mugetsu | +20% Damage, +25% Max HP, +5% Damage Reduction, +2% Lifesteal | None |
| Yamato | +17% Damage, +27% Max HP, +5% Melee Damage, +20% Gems Gain | None |

S-Tier Clans Explained
Upper
Upper arrived with the Moon Update and immediately claimed a top spot. Its +40% Damage is the highest base damage stat of any clan, and the +12% Melee Damage bonus makes it the clear pick for melee-focused builds using combat specs like Moon Slayer, Strongest Shinobi, or Saber Alter. The passive — a 20% proc chance on every skill for 25% bonus damage lasting 8 seconds — triggers frequently enough to feel consistent during extended fights.
Eminence
Eminence holds the highest Max HP bonus at +55% and ties for the best Luck at +12%. What sets it apart is the farming passive: a 25% chance to duplicate any item drop. For late-game players grinding bosses for rare accessories and titles, that passive translates directly into fewer hours spent farming. The +12% Sword Damage bonus makes it ideal for sword builds, pairing with weapons like Atomic or True Aizen.
Alter
Alter is the burst damage king. Every fifth ability triggers a +50% damage bonus on the next one, which synergizes extremely well with high-damage melee specs that cycle through abilities quickly. Its base stats are strong across the board — +35% Damage, +50% Max HP, and +12% Luck — making it a well-rounded choice even without perfectly optimizing around the passive.
Espada
Espada functions as a slightly more consistent but less explosive version of Alter for sword users. The passive grants +20% damage for 6 seconds after every 10 abilities, which rewards sustained combat rather than burst rotations. With +32% base Damage and +10% Sword Damage, it pairs naturally with Eminence-style sword builds but offers a different rhythm.
A-Tier Clans — Strong Alternatives
Pride rewards aggressive, uninterrupted play. Each hit stacks damage up to +20%, but the stacks reset after 6 seconds without dealing damage. It's excellent for NPC farming and dungeon runs where you're constantly attacking but less effective against bosses with long invulnerability phases.
Monarch fills a similar niche to Eminence with its 20% drop duplication chance, but the lower base stats (+27% Damage, +40% Max HP) keep it a tier below. If you're focused purely on farming materials and haven't rolled Eminence yet, Monarch is a perfectly functional alternative.
Voldigoat is the boss-killer specialist. The +25% bonus damage to enemies below 50% HP helps close out long fights faster, and the +10% Damage Reduction adds survivability. It's less useful for general grinding but shines in Boss Rush and Infinite Tower content.
Which Clan Fits Your Build
The melee vs. sword distinction matters when picking between S-tier clans. Upper and Alter both grant Melee Damage bonuses, making them the natural fit if you're running Moon Slayer, Blessed Maiden, or Saber Alter. Eminence and Espada grant Sword Damage bonuses instead, pairing better with Atomic, True Aizen, or Abyssal Empress.
For farming efficiency, Eminence and Monarch stand alone thanks to their drop duplication passives. If your primary goal is collecting rare boss drops, accessories, or title items, prioritize one of these two clans over raw damage options.
How to Get and Use Clan Rerolls
Changing your clan requires a Clan Reroll item, which randomly assigns a new clan when used. There's no way to target a specific clan — it's pure RNG, so stockpiling rerolls before committing to a reroll session is the smart play.
Step 1: Farm Clan Rerolls from NPCs, bosses, dungeons, and chests scattered across the map. All NPCs have a chance to drop them, though the rate is low. Boss drops and dungeon completion rewards offer better odds.
Step 2: Check the Stock Merchant and Sailor Island Merchant periodically. Both sometimes stock Clan Rerolls, and their inventory refreshes on a timer. Rerolls can also be purchased from the Robux shop or obtained through active codes.
Step 3: Open your inventory from the left menu, navigate to the Items tab, select the Clan Reroll item, and confirm. Your clan will change immediately to a random new one.
Since the result is random, you may need many rerolls to land on an S-tier clan. Save your rerolls during the early and mid game — clans like Yamato, Mugetsu, or Zoldyck are perfectly serviceable for progression. Push for Eminence, Upper, Alter, or Espada once you're in the endgame and have rerolls to spare.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many clans are in Sailor Piece?
There are 12 clans total, with Upper being the newest addition from the Moon Update.
What is the single best clan?
It depends on your build. Upper leads for melee damage, Eminence leads for farming, and Alter offers the strongest burst passive. All three are top-tier choices.
Can I pick which clan I get from a reroll?
No. Clan Rerolls assign a random clan each time. There is no selection or pity system for clans.
Are Clan Rerolls rare?
Yes. They drop at a low rate from NPCs and chests. Bosses and dungeons offer better chances, but consistent farming is still required to accumulate them.
Clans sit alongside Races, Traits, and equipment as one of the core build pillars in Sailor Piece. With Upper now in the mix, melee builds have a clear best-in-slot option, while Eminence remains the gold standard for anyone focused on farming. Whichever clan you land on, the difference between S tier and A tier is meaningful but not game-breaking — so don't burn through every reroll chasing perfection if a strong A-tier clan is already doing the job.
