How this Clover RPG tier list is built
Clover RPG is days old, and nobody has hard numbers on every passive yet. Instead of pretending we do, we compared three published tier lists from launch week and show each one's placement next to ours. Our tier is the median of the guides; when they split evenly we take the lower tier, and we flag the entry as contested.
- Destructoid ranked Grimoires and races on October 23.
- Beat Cop Game ranked Grimoires on October 23.
- Rosenberry Rooms ranked Grimoires and races on October 24.
Roll chances come from Destructoid and Beat Cop Game, which print the same rates. Race rates come from Destructoid alone.
Rarity is not strength
The two S-tier Grimoires are also two of the most common rolls: Wind at 20% and Light at 22%. Together that is a 42% chance on every roll to land an S-tier magic. Time, the rarest at 1%, sits in A because its strength is control rather than damage. Chasing Time is a long grind: at 1% per roll you would expect around 100 rolls, and there is still a 37% chance of missing it after 100.
Best Clover RPG builds for new players
These pairings follow directly from what the guides agree on. Pick the one that matches the race you rolled rather than rerolling everything at once.
| Playstyle | Grimoire | Race | Why it works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Melee pressure | Beast or Wind | Lesser Demon | Demon's physical boost stacks on consecutive hits, and both magics keep you in close range. |
| Pure caster | Wind or Light | Dark Elf | Best magic damage boost plus Mana regeneration for long spell chains. |
| Safe all-rounder | Light | Lesser Angel | Lethal-damage protection and Light's healing make it the hardest build to kill. |
| Budget caster | Any S or A Grimoire | Elf | 15% cheaper spells on a race you have a 20% chance to roll. |
For traits, Weapons Expert is the standout early pick: one point for faster weapon proficiency. Skip Bounty Hunter unless you only play PvP, because it permanently halves your PvE experience and cannot be undone.
What changed in the launch build
- Light was nerfed on day one. Its slashes lost damage, which is why Destructoid holds it at A while the other two guides keep it in S.
- Lightning is the most contested Grimoire. One guide puts it in C for telegraphed moves and a weak guard break; the other two rate its range coverage as A.
- Grimoire Augmentation is unfinished. The level 50 upgrade is marked work in progress, so late-game rankings may shift once it ships.
We will re-check this list within three days of each Clover RPG update and record the new version at the top of the page.
