Clover Legends Grimoire & Race Tier List [UPD⌛⭐]

Updated on October 6, 2026: Added Mercury, Time and Star Grimoires.

Your Grimoire and Race choice make up the majority of your build in Clover Legends. I’ll show you the best Grimoires where there’s room for playstyle preference and then best Races where there’s a more linear choice of the best pick. Here’s my Clover Legends Grimoire and Race tier list.

Clover Legends Grimoire Tier List

The best Grimoires in Clover Legends are mostly rarity-based with the higher rarities simply being better. There’s some nuance to it like some rares being better than others and World Tree being a specific use choice but otherwise Mythicals reign supreme. Check out the individual ranking reasons below.

What Does Awakening Do: You start out with Grade 0 with the Z skill and every Awakening tier upgrade from I to V increases damage, crit chance/damage, unlocks new skills and finally the ultimate skill at Awaken V.

S-Tier Grimoires

Grimoires	Ranking Notes
Light Grimoire Mythical	• The best Grimoire in the game in terms of pure damage • The cooldowns require a bit of management but it’s the best burst damage you can get in the game • It amazing against single enemies and slightly worse than AMG for AOE
Time Grimoire Mythical	• Competes with Light for the highest damage in the game • For me personally, Time is better for PVE due to more reliable AOE damage • You also have a bit of CC and therefore combo potential for PVP
Stars Grimoire Mythical	• The damage is more equal to Dark than the S-Tiers but Star is still S-Tier IMO due to the reliable AOE damage • Amazing for progression
Anti-Magic Grimoire Mythical	• The top 3 Grimoire in the game • It’s occasionally better than Light depending on the situation since Anti-Magic has better AOE • Plus it’s a beast for PVP with the anti-magic domain

A-Tier Grimoires

Grimoires	Ranking Notes
Dark Grimoire Legendary	• Amazing cooldowns and sustained DPS making it the top 5 Grimoire in Clover Legends • It’s also got great CCs and good range
World Tree Grimoire Legendary	• S-Tier Meta when you play in a group and a bit lower alone • You have a ton of heals and crowd control while not losing out on damage too much • It’s actually pretty strong in PVP too due to great damage but Dark and Lightning have more reliable AOE damage
Lightning Grimoire Rare	• The best sustained damage amongst Rares and competes slightly with Legendaries • You have amazing skill spamming rotations, great chaining damage and mobility • The best beginner Grimoire that you can get more easily than Legendaries and Mythicals
Chain Grimoire Rare	• One of the better rare Grimoires in the game IMO • Just solid damage with low cooldowns and a great CC effect with the cage • Great for PVE
Mercury Grimoire Rare	• Mercury is an excellent progression Grimoire since it’s so good for PVE • Not the best for PVP though

B-Tier Grimoires

Grimoires	Ranking Notes
Plant Grimoire Rare	• Quite decent for a solo playthrough early to mid game since you can sustain yourself a lot • Plus, you have a great AOE move for PVE farming
Poison Grimoire Rare	• Can potentially dish out great DoT damage if given time to spam and stack up • That said the moves aren’t as fast as Lightning so I put it in a lower tier • Still quite decent if you cannot get higher-tier Grimoires
Water Grimoire Common	• Actually an underrated progression Grimoire that’s got reliable AOE damage even though the numbers are lower than A/S-Tier • The best beginner Grimoire in the game

C-Tier Grimoires

Grimoires	Ranking Notes
Earth Grimoire Rare	• The weakest Rare with low range and okay damage • It focuses on defense too much and takes away your DPS • It can be useful sometimes when you want to avoid burst damage but overall it’s not the best
Fire Grimoire Common	• A good starter Grimoire and quite alright as you start grinding PVE • Look to replace it when you can though since the damage potential gets outscaled quickly

D-Tier Grimoires

Grimoires	Ranking Notes
Wind Grimoire Common	• The weakest Grimoire in the game in terms of PVE • Can be okay in PVP due to its combos but it’s really not an optimal moveset for reliable damage

Clover Legends Race Tier List

The best race in Clover Legends is simply the overall Devil race since they get a damage boost but there are decent alternatives if you’re not lucky to get them. Specifically, the High Elf race boosts your DPS in a decent way with Cooldown Reduction. Other than that the racial boosts are minor and not the most powerful unless you like the cash/XP boosts from Dwarf and Human.

Best Race: All Devil sub-races are the best races in the game followed by the High Elf’s CD reduction and Seraph’s crit chance. If you want progression boosters, go for Human/Dwarf subraces based on your needs.

S-Tier Races

Races	Race Boosts
True Devil	+15% Damage +12% Crit Damage +8% Mana Regen
Half-Devil	+12% Damage +10% Crit Damage

A-Tier Races

Races	Race Boosts
Devil-Touched	+8% Damage

That’s it for my Clover Legends Grimoire and Race tier list guide. You can combine the A and S-Tier Grimoires with any of the Devil races for the best build in the game. That said, the High-Elf can also work quite well with top-tier Grimoires that have long cooldowns if you can’t get any of the Devil sub-races.
