Updated on May 4, 2026: Added Light Grimoire/Paladin Race and reranked the Grimoire tier list. The best Grimoire, Race, Trait and Weapon in Clover Origins depend on various factors. For example the best Grimoires have ranking reasons as you'll see but the best Race depends on which Grimoire you pick. Weapons are easier to rank since they have linear progression. Let's talk about them all in my Clover Origins tier list and guide. Table of contents Clover Origins Magic Tier List Best PVP Grimoires Best PVE Grimoires Anti Magic Grimoire Notes Great Alternative Grimoires Weak Grimoires Clover Origins Race Tier List S-Tier Races A-Tier Races B-Tier Races C-Tier Races D-Tier Races Best Weapons in Clover Origins Best Trait in Clover Origins Best Accesories in Clover Origins Clover Origins Magic Tier List Image by Destructoid Below you'll find detailed individual breakdowns of the best Grimoires in Clover Origins. I'll also go into how to get all skills for Wind and Anti Magic. The PVP Tier is for Time but Time is also pretty good for PVE. That said the PVE rankings specialize for bosses and farming so they are arranged in power from left to right. Don't use the weak ones at all. Let's dive into the individual rankings below. Grimoire Note: If you have a transformation unlocked on a Grimoire and you switch to another, that transformation will be saved if you return. Best PVP Grimoires Grimoires Ranking Reasons & Notes TimeMythical • Time doesn't have the best DPS in the game for farming but it still competes well with other PVEs• That said it's the best PVP Grimoire in the game• This is because it has a ton of setup moves, grabs and pulls that are amazing for combos• Not to mention it has the best defenses with Time Stop and Time Dodge• So it's S-Tier for PVP and lower S-Tier for PVE Best PVE Grimoires Grimoires Ranking Reasons & Notes LightMythical • Light is without a doubt the best PVE AOE damage Grimoire in Clover Origins• It's even better than Wind with Transformation• Every move is just a really strong AOE burst• And Light Speed is great for PVP for defense and mobility• Light does it all but I give it an edge in PVE and an edge to Time for PVP WindLegendary • With Wind Transformation, this is the strongest AOE damage moveset in the game• You have access to more reliable damage moves that aren't bugged and work no matter the hitbox• It's strong against both crowd farming, bosses and oppressive in PVP• Plus you have the best synergy with the Sylph buffs• Works best with the Angel race Special Notes:• You need Wind Orbs for Wind Transformation• Farm them from Yuno boss• Yuno boss is at Yuno Arena behind Boar Boss or inside the Dungeon as the final boss• For Sylph also farm Yuno boss for Wind Fragments• Craft at Blacksmith for 4 Wind Fragments Wind Grimoire + Sylph Buffs:+15% Move Speed+10% Damage+10% Health Regen out of combat+15% Dash Distance Fire MagnaEpic • A ton of high damage AOE moves that are less buggy than Lightning but don't have as much single target burst• Can be better than Legendaries if compared to them without transformations• An excellent moveset for PVE farming LightningEpic • Can potentially deal a ton of damage per skill outdamaging Wind/Anti without Transformation• The reason why it's not S-Tier is that the hitboxes are bugged• If you're fighting enemies with large hitboxes and every particle of the move hits you're dealing S-Tier damage• If you're fighting enemies with smaller hitboxes not all the particles will hit and you'll be dealing less damage• Keep this in mind if you want to max out Lightning, it's really strong but buggy• Max out Magic and Health and decent Mana to spam moves DarkEpic • Not as complex as Wind and weaker burst than Lightning but I love Dark for PVE• It's easier to get and deals excellent AOE damage for farming• Plus it's not buggy and works really well in every stage of the game without requiring special grinding• Dark is the most reliable Magic IMO if you don't have Wind Transformation/Anti Magic Transformation/Light Anti Magic Grimoire Notes Grimoires Ranking Reasons & Notes Anti MagicLegendary • Anti-Magic is eventually decently strong with Demon Transformation but it just doesn't scale as well as other Grimoires• You scale with Melee and have a ton of moves for great AOE and boss damage• Plus, when combined with lifesteal from Devil race you're virtually unkillable• That said the other PVE Grimoires just have better options for farming and are more reliable IMO• Overall, with transformation, you can have a lot of sustain with lifesteal from Devil/Berserk but doing damage is easier with the options above Special Notes:• Max Defense and Melee then Sword and use Imperial Blade or Orc/Goblin Axe as your secondary• You need Litch Orbs for Anti Magic skills• These are dropped from the Litch boss in the Litch Arena Raid• The Arena/Raid portal is located on the forehead of the giant skull to the left o
