Clover Legends grimoire tier list

Book icons are AI-generated illustrations made for this wiki, not in-game art. Ranked for overall PvE strength with PvP noted where it matters. Rarity alone does not decide the order: Lightning, a Rare book, outranks the Common starters by a wide margin and sits with the Legendary picks.

How this Clover Legends tier list is ranked

Clover Legends grimoires are ranked on three things: how much damage the full kit deals once all spells are unlocked, how much control or healing it adds, and how well it holds up in the PvP Arena. Spell numbers come straight from each book’s mana costs and cooldowns, shown in the tables below.

The order matches what most experienced players and Clover Legends creators landed on in September: Light and Anti-Magic on top, Dark and World Tree right behind, and the three starter books at the bottom. Grimoires were reworked on September 5, and Anti-Magic, Light and Plant were buffed on September 12.

Rarity vs tier

Rarity tells you how hard a book is to roll; tier tells you how good it is. Legendary and Mythical books can reach five leaves and have a V ultimate on Dark, World Tree, Light and Anti-Magic, while Common and Rare books stop at four leaves and three spells.

That is why a Clover Legends player with Lightning can hold their own for a long time: it lacks an ultimate but has the best sustained damage of any Rare book.

Awakening and book level

A Clover Legends grimoire levels from 1 to 50 as you fight (18,624 Book XP in total). Every ten levels opens the next awakening, and each awakening multiplies your damage and crit.

Clover Legends tier list FAQ

What is the best grimoire in Clover Legends?

Light is the best grimoire in Clover Legends for most players. It has the highest burst damage, Radiant Chain hits three targets and its V ultimate, Divine Rain, covers a wide area. Anti-Magic is the other S-tier pick and shines in PvP.

What is the best grimoire for PvE and grinding?

Light for burst, Dark for clearing groups thanks to Black Hole and Gravity Zone, and World Tree if you farm with a squad and want healing. Among the Rare books in Clover Legends, Lightning gives the best sustained damage.

Is Dark better than World Tree?

Both are Legendary Clover Legends grimoires and sit in A tier. Dark is better solo because it pulls enemies together and keeps damaging them. World Tree is better in a group because Healing Grove and Tree of Life heal your allies.

Should I save Gems or spin now?

A spin costs 160 Gems. A Legendary is guaranteed by spin 100 (16,000 Gems) and a Mythical by spin 150 (24,000 Gems). If you already have a Rare book you like, saving toward the Mythical guarantee is the safer plan; if you are still on Fire, Water or Wind, a few spins for a Rare upgrade help right away.

Is there a five-leaf or six-leaf grimoire in Clover Legends?

There is no six-leaf grimoire. Books start with three leaves and gain leaves as you awaken them: Common and Rare books stop at four, while Legendary and Mythical books reach five. Anti-Magic is the five-leaf grimoire from the start, just like Asta’s book in Black Clover. Each extra leaf lowers mana costs: four leaves cost 0.9× mana and five leaves 0.8×.

What is the best race for the best grimoire?

Pair Light or Dark with True Devil (+15% damage, +12% crit damage) or Half-Devil. True Devil has a 0.2% roll chance, but the Devil pity guarantees a Devil-family race within 40 rerolls. See the race tier list.

How many grimoires are there?

Fifteen: Fire, Wind and Water (Common); Earth, Lightning, Plant, Poison, Chain and Mercury (Rare); World Tree and Dark (Legendary); Light, Star, Time and Anti-Magic (Mythical).

Where do Star, Time and Mercury rank?

They are the newest books (September 19 to 26). Star and Time are Mythical and Mercury is Rare. We will place them on the Clover Legends tier list once enough players have tested them after the latest reworks.
