The Gyomei Himejima family — the Stone Hashira's tank kit.
Is the Himejima clan good in Slayers 2?
Yes — keep it. Tanky melee and M1-heavy builds that mix skills into swings, for PvP and bosses. It has no Stone Breathing bonus despite the name — the tank passives are the reason to pick it. It sits at Tier A on the cross-source clan tier list, in the Mythic bracket (0.9% per spin — a coin-flip chance of any Mythic clan takes 77 spins).
Himejima clan skills
- Stone Skin Mode — Enemies who hit you with M1s take 15% of that damage back. You also get +10% Damage Reduction Factor, +5% Movement Speed Factor, +4% Stamina Regen Speed and +5% Health Regen Speed while it is active.
- Enhanced Hearing — Stomp to send out a ring-shaped shockwave; everyone caught is marked and takes 20% more damage from you for 14 seconds (a weaker version of Uzui's).
Himejima clan passives
- Pain Resistance — You are not slowed at low health.
- Tactical Intellect — +25% quest EXP.
- Repetitive Action — Mixes skills into M1 strings more smoothly — the M1-heavy playstyle passive.

Keep Himejima or reroll?
Himejima has earned a permanent slot: Tanky melee and M1-heavy builds that mix skills into swings, for PvP and bosses. It has no Stone Breathing bonus despite the name — the tank passives are the reason to pick it. Whether to reroll depends on your build: a style-matched Legendary beats a mismatched Mythic every time. The reroll guide has the full stopping rules.
How to roll the Himejima clan
Himejima sits in the Mythic bracket: 0.9% of every spin — about 111 spins per Mythic on average, with a coin-flip bracket shot at 77 spins. Codes are the fastest spin source, with levelling milestones and quest rewards behind them. Between codes and the spins that levelling hands out, a dedicated session usually banks enough Mythic attempts. V0.18's reroll change (skill-tree progress survives) removes the last reason to delay the swap.

Building around Himejima
Himejima plays the long game: Stone Skin Mode's reflect and stat buffs reward taking hits deliberately, so build health and damage reduction rather than dodging everything. It pairs with any melee style — the tank passives do not need Stone Breathing.
What Himejima plays like in real fights
Tier letters describe value; fights describe feel. With Himejima equipped, the visible change is 2 more buttons in your rotation — Stone Skin Mode, Enhanced Hearing — sitting alongside your breathing or art kit. Underneath, 3 passives (Pain Resistance, Tactical Intellect among others) quietly shape every trade.Net effect: tanky melee and M1-heavy builds that mix skills into swings, for PvP and bosses. It has no Stone Breathing bonus despite the name — the tank passives are the reason to pick it. A practical self-test — run a few fights, then imagine the clan unequipped; whichever moments you miss its inputs or stats are exactly where Himejima pays its rent.
Himejima against the meta
In the V0.2-era meta, Himejima keeps its slot because its value survives the standard counters. Poison teams (Kocho, Iguro, Insect builds) farm this kit unless a status-immunity passive is on the card. Counter-heavy duelists (Soyama, Shockwave users) feast on predictable openers — Himejima's skills give you something to answer with, but timing is yours to find. And zone-control demons (Shabana) meet an answer in Himejima's active kit — you can contest the zone rather than vacate it.
Himejima vs every other Mythic clan
| Clan | Tier | Kit shape | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Himejima (this page) | A | 2 skills + 3 passives | Tanky melee and M1-heavy builds that mix skills into swings, for PvP and bosses. It has no Stone Breathing bonus despite the name — the tank passives are the reason to pick it. |
| Iguro | A | 3 skills + 4 passives | Serpent Breathing and poison duelists who reposition a lot — Flash Step plus the snake's bind makes the whole kit about controlling space. |
| Shinazugawa | A | 2 skills + 5 passives | Wind Breathing and aggressive Katana bruisers — Marechi's Blade turns every basic attack into a poison applicator, which pairs perfectly with Wind's pressure style. |
| Agatsuma | A | 2 skills + 4 passives | Thunder Breathing mains — most of its damage bonus is tied to Thunder, so it is much weaker on any other style. If you did not roll it, do not pick Thunder for the pairing alone; Thunder is strong anyway. |
| Douma | A | 2 skills + 3 passives | Defensive demon and Evil Art builds that want ways out of combos, especially in PvP. Keen Intellect makes it the progression clan for demon mains. |
| Tamayo | A | 3 active skills, no passives | Party support and boss runs: a heal plus a full cooldown reset for the whole group. The V0.2 stat buff made it viable for solo play too, but groups are where Pharmaceutical Skills prints value. |
Reading the table: kit shape predicts playstyle before stats do — active-skill clans spike when pressed, passive-only clans pay out every second. Between two clans serving the same Stone Skin Mode-style build, the stat line above usually breaks the tie — passive percentages compound on every hit, while an active skill only pays when its window opens.
Himejima clan FAQ
What rarity is the Himejima clan?

Cross-source median says Tier A. Verdict: keep — Tanky melee and M1-heavy builds that mix skills into swings, for PvP and bosses. It has no Stone Breathing bonus despite the name — the tank passives are the reason to pick it.

Which breathing style pairs with Himejima?
Himejima carries no style-specific bonus, which cuts both ways: nothing is wasted, but nothing is amplified. Pair it with whatever tops the breathing tier list — or run it on the demon path, where style bonuses are irrelevant anyway.
Does Himejima work for demons?
Yes — passives carry over untouched. Only style-specific bonuses lose their meaning, since demons roll blood demon arts instead of learning breathing.
How Himejima compares in its bracket
Inside the Mythic bracket, roles diverge sharply: raw damage (Iguro, Agatsuma), tanking (Himejima), escapes and demon progression (Douma), or party utility (Tamayo). Match the role to your path before comparing stats. Himejima's identity here is its mix of active skills and always-on passives. The style-specific damage factors multiply every hit of your main kit, which is why a matching roll outranks generic power from any rarity. Side-by-side numbers are on the full clan table; ranking reasoning is on the tier list page.
