Soyama Clan S
Supreme rarity · 0.1% roll chance per spin · 3 active skills · 2 passives
The Soyama-inspired duelist family — built entirely around reading the opponent.
Is the Soyama clan good in Slayers 2?
Yes — keep it. 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. 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).
Soyama clan skills
- Indomitable Will — Push/stun burst on tap; hold for a larger zone that stuns anyone inside and again on the way out.
- Combat Intuition — Grants +8% Damage Reduction Factor for 12 seconds and banks part of the damage you deal in that window (75% of hits on players, 50% on NPCs); a tenth of the banked amount is added to your damage for 7 seconds. An earlier write-up described banking damage taken instead — which is how Kamado's version works — so treat the exact trigger as unconfirmed.
- Bell Splitter — A counter stance. If you are hit during it, you parry and stun the attacker, who also gets -30% Movement Speed Factor for 3 seconds and -35% Additional Damage Factor with fists for 10 seconds. A stance that catches nothing locks you out of skills and swings for 2 seconds, though you can still block and dash. Its cooldown is shared with every other counter in the game.
Soyama clan passives
- Enhanced Speed — +5% Movement Speed Factor.
- Pain Resistance — You are not slowed at low health.

Keep Soyama or reroll?
Soyama has earned a permanent slot: 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. 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 Soyama clan
Soyama 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.

Building around Soyama
Soyama is a commitment: Bell Splitter shares its cooldown with every other counter, so you are choosing to be the counter player. Practice the timing on mobs before taking it to Ranked — a whiffed stance locks you out for two seconds, which is a death sentence against a good duelist.
What Soyama plays like in real fights
Tier letters describe value; fights describe feel. With Soyama equipped, the visible change is 3 more buttons in your rotation — Indomitable Will, Combat Intuition, Bell Splitter — sitting alongside your breathing or art kit. Underneath, 2 passives (Enhanced Speed, Pain Resistance) quietly shape every trade.Net effect: 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. A practical self-test — run a few fights, then imagine the clan unequipped; whichever moments you miss its inputs or stats are exactly where Soyama pays its rent.
Soyama against the meta
In the V0.2-era meta, Soyama 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 — Soyama's skills give you something to answer with, but timing is yours to find. And zone-control demons (Shabana) meet an answer in Soyama's active kit — you can contest the zone rather than vacate it.
Soyama vs every other Supreme clan
| Clan | Tier | Kit shape | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soyama (this page) | 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. |
| 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. |
| Rengoku | 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. |
| 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. |
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.
Soyama clan FAQ

How many spins to get the Soyama 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 Soyama?
Soyama 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 Soyama 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 Soyama 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. Soyama'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.
