Rengoku Clan S
Supreme rarity · 0.1% roll chance per spin · 2 active skills · 4 passives
The Rengoku family of the Flame Hashira — the game's pure offence clan.
Is the Rengoku clan good in Slayers 2?
Yes — keep it. Flame Breathing and aggressive Katana builds; it has the highest damage bonus of any clan, and Ignition Hit makes every basic-attack string open with a burn. It sits at Tier S on the cross-source clan tier list, in the Supreme bracket (0.1% per spin — a coin-flip chance of any Supreme clan takes 693 spins).
Rengoku clan skills
- Indomitable Will — Tap for a burst that pushes nearby enemies away, stuns them briefly and applies Fear. Hold to drop a much larger zone that stuns anyone inside and again on the way out.
- Heart Ablaze Mode — A flame aura that burns anyone who hits you for 2% of their own Max Health per second for 3 seconds. While it is up you also get +18% Additional Damage Factor, +5% Movement Speed Factor, +5% Stamina Regen Speed and +20% Burn Damage Factor.
Rengoku clan passives
- Pain Resistance — You are not slowed at low health.
- Master Swordsman — +20% Katana and weapon mastery.
- Ignition Hit — The first swing of each new M1 string sets the target burning for 3 seconds — and so do the Purgatory, Flame Undulation, Flame Tiger and Blazing Universe skills. Burns do not stack.
- Status Immunity — Immunity to burning and similar status effects.
Rengoku clan stats
Community-reported: +277.5 Max Health (1st of 24) and 26% Additional Damage Factor (1st of 22) — the highest damage and health of any clan — plus +125 Max Stamina and +2 Damage Reduction.

Keep Rengoku or reroll?
Rengoku has earned a permanent slot: Flame Breathing and aggressive Katana builds; it has the highest damage bonus of any clan, and Ignition Hit makes every basic-attack string open with a burn. Rerolling a Supreme is burning a lottery ticket — the only justification is a style-specific roll that matches the breathing you already locked in. The reroll guide has the full stopping rules.
How to roll the Rengoku clan
Rengoku sits in the Supreme bracket: 0.1% of every spin — which works out to roughly 1,000 spins per Supreme on average, and any single name among the four is rarer still. A coin-flip chance at the bracket takes 693 spins; a 90% shot takes 2,302. Codes are the fastest spin source, with levelling milestones and quest rewards behind them. Most of your spins will come from codes and milestone rewards rather than levelling — saving them for a planned batch beats spending two at a time. And since V0.18 a reroll keeps your clan skill-tree progress, so even a future upgrade no longer means rebuilding that investment.
Other Supreme clans
Building around Rengoku
Rengoku wants aggression: pair it with Flame Breathing for the themed burn stack, or any Katana build to exploit Master Swordsman's +20% mastery. Open every engagement with Heart Ablaze Mode active — the burn retaliation and +18% damage factor define the clan, and the mode lasts long enough to cover your approach.
What Rengoku plays like in real fights
Tier letters describe value; fights describe feel. With Rengoku equipped, the visible change is 2 more buttons in your rotation — Indomitable Will, Heart Ablaze Mode — sitting alongside your breathing or art kit. Underneath, 4 passives (Pain Resistance, Master Swordsman among others) quietly shape every trade.Net effect: flame Breathing and aggressive Katana builds; it has the highest damage bonus of any clan, and Ignition Hit makes every basic-attack string open with a burn. A practical self-test — run a few fights, then imagine the clan unequipped; whichever moments you miss its inputs or stats are exactly where Rengoku pays its rent.
Rengoku against the meta
In the V0.2-era meta, Rengoku keeps its slot because its value survives the standard counters — that resilience across matchups is what the S tier actually measures. 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 — Rengoku's skills give you something to answer with, but timing is yours to find. And zone-control demons (Shabana) meet an answer in Rengoku's active kit — you can contest the zone rather than vacate it.
Rengoku vs every other Supreme clan
| Clan | Tier | Kit shape | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rengoku (this page) | S | 2 skills + 4 passives | Flame Breathing and aggressive Katana builds; it has the highest damage bonus of any clan, and Ignition Hit makes every basic-attack string open with a burn. |
| Kamado | S | 4 skills + 5 passives | The safest all-round pick for almost any build. Demons get the most from it: Sun Immunity frees a gear slot and Regen Adrenal only works on the demon path. V0.2 removed Headbutt's guard break, but the stat package still leads. |
| Uzui | S | 3 skills + 5 passives | Technical PvP, fist and stamina-heavy builds, and levelling thanks to the quest EXP bonus. It has no Sound Breathing bonus, so it works on any style. |
| Soyama | S | 3 skills + 2 passives | Counter-heavy PvP duelists who win by reading attacks; on the demon path it pairs well with Shockwave. The shared counter cooldown means you cannot stack it with other counter tools. |
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 Indomitable Will-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.
Rengoku clan FAQ
What rarity is the Rengoku clan?

What tier is Rengoku and is it worth keeping?
Cross-source median says Tier S. Verdict: keep — Flame Breathing and aggressive Katana builds; it has the highest damage bonus of any clan, and Ignition Hit makes every basic-attack string open with a burn.
How many spins to get the Rengoku clan?
The bracket math: a 50% chance of any Supreme clan takes 693 spins at 0.1% per spin — about 1,000 spins on average for one Supreme, and any specific Supreme clan is rarer still. Since V0.18, rerolling keeps your clan skill-tree progress, so the long grind is safer than it was at launch.
Which breathing style pairs with Rengoku?
Rengoku 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 Rengoku 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 Rengoku compares in its bracket
Inside the Supreme bracket, every option is excellent — the comparison is about which flavor of excellent fits your path: Kamado's universal safety, Rengoku's damage ceiling, Uzui's utility spread, Soyama's counter discipline. Rengoku'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.
