Clover RPG Grimoires Tier List: Reading the Rankings
Understand the grimoire rankings discussed by Clover RPG creators and compare them with a dated publication ranking before choosing a build.
Quick guide
- Compare the attributed rankings; the sources disagree on several grimoires.
- Match the demonstrated toolkit to your play style before rerolling.
- Do not infer rarity, reroll costs or evolution requirements from a tier label.
The accepted tier-list sources use grimoire and magic names for the same seven choices: Beast, Wind, Time, Light, Flame, Shadow and Lightning. Their rankings are opinions about those toolkits, not an official quality grade attached to your roll.
A published grimoire ranking
Destructoid's October 23, 2026 table places Beast and Wind in S, Time and Light in A, Flame and Shadow in B, and Lightning in C. The collected MIiGpdQt-wQ video gives the same arrangement.
Another collected creator, k8LjEjL_POg, instead places Time, Light and Wind in S, Lightning, Beast and Flame in A, and Shadow in B. Do not read the first table as a consensus when the evidence shows a different opinion.

Match a toolkit to your goal
The separate showcase discusses Light healing, Wind aerial combinations, Time control effects, Flame's Fire Stomp guard break, Shadow tendrils and beam attacks, Lightning mobility and Beast close pressure. These recorded roles can help explain why different players value a grimoire differently.
A showcase's historical statement that Beast passives were unfinished is not evidence about their current state. Likewise, a higher tier does not establish current rarity, reroll cost or guaranteed damage.
Before spending on a change
Try the skills you already have and compare the current game interface with the source's date and demonstrated build. This is practical decision advice rather than a verified optimization formula.
See the magic tier comparison for the full attributed table and Grimoire Evolution for the later quest route. Evolution requirements should not be inferred from a tier list.
