Clans in Sorcerer Ascent play a major role in shaping your character’s damage, survivability, and overall playstyle. Each clan provides passive buffs that affect Black Flash damage, Cursed Energy output, physical damage, and more.
Choosing the right clan early can make progression much smoother, especially for endgame content. This guide ranks all Sorcerer Ascent clans into a tier list, explains their buffs, and helps you decide which clan is best for your build. Also check out our Sorcerer Ascent Codes.
S Tier Clans (Best Overall)
These clans provide the strongest bonuses in the game and are ideal for both progression and endgame content.
Itadori Clan
- +30% Black Flash Damage
- +15% Health
- +18% Physical Damage
- Special Black Flash after 4 Black Flashes in a row
Itadori is the best clan for melee-focused and Black Flash builds. The massive Black Flash damage bonus combined with physical damage makes this clan top-tier for aggressive playstyles.
Choso Clan
- +20% Cursed Energy Damage
- +10% Health
- +25% Cursed Energy
- Replaces Flowing Red Scale with Flowing Red Scale: Stack
Choso is the best choice for Blood Manipulation and CE-based builds. The increased CE pool and upgraded innate technique make it extremely strong for skill-heavy combat.
A Tier Clans (Very Strong)
These clans are excellent alternatives if you do not have access to S Tier options.
Kamo Clan
- +20% Cursed Energy Damage
- +15% Cursed Energy
Kamo is a strong offensive clan for CE damage builds, especially for players who rely on consistent skill output.

- +20% Cursed Energy
A balanced clan that offers both survivability and resource management, making it suitable for many playstyles.

- +10% Health
- +5% Cursed Energy
Nanami is a solid option for players who want extra durability without sacrificing too much damage.

Todo is decent for physical builds early on but lacks scaling for late-game content.

- +3% Cursed Energy Damage
Ino Clan
- +3% Cursed Energy
D Tier Clans (Worst)
These clans provide no combat advantages and should be replaced as soon as possible.

Your clan choice in Sorcerer Ascent has a direct impact on how effective your build will be, especially in endgame content like world events and cursed dungeons. If possible, aim for Itadori or Choso for maximum performance. However, even A Tier clans can perform well with the right setup. Avoid common clans with no buffs, and always upgrade your clan when better options become available to stay competitive.
