Clan Buffs - Project Slayers 2 Wiki
Exact buff values for each clan and how the bonuses stack with breathing styles and gear.
Overview
Clan buffs are the passive stat line attached to every rolled family, and they apply the moment the clan is equipped. Health, stamina and damage factor are the common currencies, but several families also modify one specific breathing style or add an on-hit effect. The full clan roster lists which tier each family belongs to.
Only a handful of exact numbers are published, so this page sticks to documented values and leaves the rest blank rather than guessing. Rengoku, the Kamado set, Sabito and Kocho are the clearest examples, and each points at a different kind of build. Compare them against the clan tier list before you reroll.
Buffs Shown in the Clan Menu
The clan showcase opens each family in the customization menu, which is the fastest way to see which buff line belongs to which name before you spend a spin. Use it alongside the values on this page and the spin rules, because the menu text and the published numbers should always agree.
Documented Buff Values
This table collects every buff value sources agree on and marks the rest as unpublished rather than filling gaps. Rengoku and the Kamado set lead on raw stats, Sabito trades stats for mastery, and Kocho spreads its power across damage over time and debuffs. The Rengoku clan page covers the burn detail.
Read the table as a shape rather than a full stat sheet. A family with a large health and stamina swing is built for sustained fights, while a mastery bonus only pays off if you genuinely train that style. The progression guide covers the order worth upgrading.
| Clan | Health | Stamina | Damage factor | Notable effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rengoku | +185 | +125 | 26% | Burn-enhanced M1s, damage reflection |
| Kamado | +175 | +130 | 23% | Sunlight perks |
| Sabito | Not published | Not published | Not published | +10% Water mastery |
| Kocho | Not published | Not published | Not published | Insect and poison damage, debuffs |
How to Read a Buff Line
Buffs stack with gear and breathing styles rather than replacing them, so the practical question is which layer your build is missing. If your health pool is small, a stat clan fixes it fastest; if your damage feels flat, a damage factor or a mastery bonus does more. Compare the layers on the buff table before you reroll.
Health
Rengoku adds +185 Health and Kamado +175, raising the pool you bring into boss fights.
Stamina
Rengoku adds +125 Stamina and Kamado +130, funding extra dashes and longer combo strings.
Damage factor
Rengoku reaches 26% and Kamado 23%, multiplying the damage your style already deals.
Style mastery
Sabito's +10% Water mastery only pays off if you train and actually play Water Breathing.
Rengoku, Kocho and Sabito Compared
Rengoku is the clearest all-round package: +185 Health, +125 Stamina, a 26% damage factor, burn-enhanced M1s and damage reflection. Every part of that works in PvE, bossing and PvP because none of it depends on a condition. The Rengoku clan page breaks the kit down, and Flame Breathing is the natural pairing.
Kocho trades raw stats for a damage-over-time identity built around insect and poison effects plus debuffs. It rewards players who keep pressure on a target rather than bursting it down, which suits longer boss fights. Sabito sits at the opposite end, offering no published stat line but a flat +10% Water mastery for Water Breathing users.
The Buff Lines Worth Remembering
If you only remember four lines, remember these. They are the documented values most sources agree on, and between them they cover the four different ways a clan can change a build. Everything else should be checked in game, because the clan roster shows the family name but not always its numbers.
- Rengoku: +185 Health, +125 Stamina, 26% damage factor
- Rengoku extras: burn-enhanced M1s and damage reflection
- Kamado: +175 Health, +130 Stamina, 23% damage factor, sunlight perks
- Sabito: +10% Water mastery
- Kocho: insect and poison damage focus with debuffs
- Unpublished clans: read the in-game clan menu text
How to Test a Clan Buff
Testing a buff is simpler than reading one. Equip the clan, note your health and stamina bars, then run the same quest or boss twice and compare clear times. The steps below turn that into a repeatable check without wasting a save slot.
Keep expectations realistic. Clan buffs are one layer of a build, so a 26% damage factor does not double your output on its own. Pair it with a trained weapon and sensible gear, then measure again. The progression guide covers the order to upgrade each layer.
Equip and record
Write down your health, stamina and damage numbers with the clan equipped before changing anything.
Run a control test
Clear one quest and one boss with the build unchanged so you have a baseline clear time.
Swap the clan only
Equip a different saved family and repeat the exact same route without altering gear or style.
Compare and save
Keep the clan that improves the route, then save it before spending another spin.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Rengoku clan give?
Rengoku grants +185 Health, +125 Stamina and a 26% damage factor, with burn-enhanced M1 attacks and damage reflection on top of those raw stats.
What does the Kamado clan give?
The Kamado set adds +175 Health, +130 Stamina and a 23% damage factor, plus sunlight-related perks that matter on the demon path.
What does the Sabito clan give?
Sabito grants +10% Water mastery. It has no widely published health or stamina bonus, so it is a specialist pick for Water Breathing players.
What is the Kocho clan good for?
Kocho leans into insect and poison damage with debuffs. It suits players who apply steady pressure over a long fight instead of relying on burst combos.
Do clan buffs stack with breathing styles?
Yes. Clan bonuses are passive and apply alongside your style, weapon and gear, so a damage factor multiplies whatever your breathing style already deals.
Do clan buffs stack with gear?
They do. Gear adds its own stats on top of the clan line, which is why the biggest damage jumps come from fixing whichever layer is weakest.
Are all clan buffs published?
No. Only a few families have confirmed numbers, including Rengoku, Kamado, Sabito and Kocho. For everything else, read the in-game menu text.
