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; this describes experience. Rolling Rengoku changes your average fight in specific ways: your 2 active skills (Indomitable Will, Heart Ablaze Mode) become buttons you press every fight, on top of your breathing or art kit. The 4 passives (Pain Resistance, Master Swordsman, Ignition Hit, and more) run in the background of every exchange.In practice that means 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. The honest test: play ten fights with the clan unequipped conceptually — the moments where you miss a skill or a passive are exactly the moments Rengoku was earning its slot.
Rengoku against the meta
Against the current V0.2-era meta: Rengoku holds its place because its value survives the common counters — the four S-tier clans all do, which is what the tier actually measures. Poison teams (Kocho, Iguro, Insect builds) punish non-immune kits — status immunity passives matter more than raw damage against them. Counter-heavy duelists (Soyama, Shockwave users) punish predictable openers, which is why mobility passives carry unexpected defensive value. And zone-control demons (Shabana) punish anyone who has to fight inside their terms — Rengoku's active kit at least gives you an answer to press.
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 (press something, get a spike) reward engagement; passive-only clans reward consistency. When two clans serve the same build, the tiebreaker is usually the stat line above — health and damage factor compound across every fight, while a single-use skill only pays when its window appears.
Rengoku clan FAQ
What rarity is the Rengoku clan?
Rengoku is Supreme: 0.1% chance per spin. That bracket contains 4 named clans, so landing Rengoku specifically is rarer than the bracket number suggests.
What tier is Rengoku and is it worth keeping?
Tier S on the cross-source median. 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.
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 grind is safer than it was at launch.
Which breathing style pairs with Rengoku?
It has no style-specific bonus, so pair it with whatever tops the breathing tier list — or run it on the demon path where style bonuses don't apply.
Does Rengoku work for demons?
Yes — clan passives carry over to the demon path unchanged. Only style-specific bonuses stop mattering, since demons use blood demon arts instead of breathing.
How Rengoku compares in its bracket
Inside the Supreme bracket, Rengoku's identity is its mix of active skills and always-on passives. The bracket decision comes down to build matching: a Supreme clan that boosts your chosen style outperforms a mismatched roll from any rarity, because the style-specific damage factors multiply every hit of your main kit while generic stats only add a flat edge.
