Keep Susamaru or reroll?
Susamaru is a stepping stone at best — Tamari demons, especially in a party with another Susamaru or Yahaba. Outside Tamari, reroll. Treat it as a holding roll — keep it while you bank spins, and upgrade the moment your build settles. The reroll guide has the full stopping rules.
How to roll the Susamaru clan
Susamaru sits in the Rare bracket: 12% of every spin — roughly 8 spins per Rare on average, coin-flip at 6. Codes are the fastest spin source, with levelling milestones and quest rewards behind them. Rare rolls come around often enough that patience alone will find you one. V0.18's reroll change (skill-tree progress survives) removes the last reason to delay the swap.
Other Rare clans
Building around Susamaru
Susamaru is a party-slot clan: the Party Buff (+10% Evil Art and Additional Damage) only activates beside a Yahaba or Susamaru, so its value is group planning, not solo play.
What Susamaru plays like in real fights
Tier letters describe value; this describes experience. Rolling Susamaru changes your average fight in specific ways: you gain no new buttons — the value is entirely passive, always on, and invisible until you compare stats. The 2 passives (Party Buff, Tamari Regen) run in the background of every exchange.In practice that means tamari demons, especially in a party with another Susamaru or Yahaba. Outside Tamari, reroll. 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 Susamaru was earning its slot.
Susamaru against the meta
Against the current V0.2-era meta: Susamaru struggles against the meta because stronger options overlap its niche with better stats.} 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 — pure-passive clans have no zone answer, so positioning is your only tool.
Susamaru vs every other Rare clan
| Clan | Tier | Kit shape | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Susamaru (this page) | C | 2 passives, no skills | Tamari demons, especially in a party with another Susamaru or Yahaba. Outside Tamari, reroll. |
| Urokodaki | A | 5 passives, no skills | The strongest Rare clan by consensus — an easy Water Breathing pick: passive Water damage and stamina savings with nothing to activate, plus strong defence if you wear a mask. Stop rerolling if you get this and plan to play Water. |
| Sabito | B | 1 skills + 2 passives | Water Breathing and Katana builds; the dash and sword damage mode is unusually strong for a Rare — many players keep it over mismatched Mythic rolls. |
| Makomo | B | 1 skills + 1 passives | Defensive Water Breathing and Katana builds that block a lot; the Water bonus needs a Sabito or Makomo in your party, so it shines in duo play. |
| Yahaba | C | 1 skills + 2 passives | Arrow demons, especially in a party with another Yahaba or Susamaru — the party buff is the only reason it stays on the board. |
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.

How Susamaru compares in its bracket
Inside the Rare bracket, Susamaru's identity is its passive stack. The bracket decision comes down to build matching: a Rare 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.
