Clover Time’s own tiers are rarity: Anti Magic is the single Mythic, Battle Lightning the single Legendary, and Explosive Flame and Poison are Epic. Among published rankings, Destructoid and clovertime.wiki both put Anti Magic and Poison at the top, and Destructoid puts Earth and Fire at the bottom.
What are the grimoire tiers by rarity?
Rarity is the only ranking the developers publish, from the Grimoire Tower card on the official Trello. Pity is the number of Mana Crystals that guarantees that rarity.
| Rarity | Grimoires | Pity (Mana Crystals) |
|---|---|---|
| Mythic | Anti Magic | 250 |
| Legendary | Battle Lightning | 100 |
| Epic | Explosive Flame, Poison | 50 |
| Rare | Chain | — |
| Uncommon | Ice | — |
| Common | Earth, Fire, Snow, Water | — |
Full skill data for each book is on the grimoire list.
How do other guides rank the grimoires?
These are other sites’ editorial opinions, reproduced with attribution. We do not publish a ranking of our own because half the higher-rarity grimoires have no released numbers.
| Destructoid tier | Grimoires |
|---|---|
| S | Anti Magic, Poison |
| A | Ice, Explosive Flame, Battle Lightning |
| B | Chain, Water, Snow |
| Lowest (“Trash”) | Earth, Fire |
Destructoid’s list (Gordan Perisic, updated 2026-10-06) is the main published grimoire ranking. Fan site clovertime.wiki also places Anti Magic and Poison in S tier.
Note: Poison sitting in S above the Legendary Battle Lightning shows these rankings are opinions, not rarity. Destructoid’s placement of Battle Lightning cannot be checked against stats, because none are published (see the Battle Lightning guide).
What can you compare with the published numbers?
Only the six lower grimoires have full values on Trello. All have an M1 of 21 scaling with Strength; skills scale with Power.
- Ice has the largest published single hit, Absolute Zero at 200 damage, but it needs 50 points and has a 28s cooldown.
- Chain pairs Chain Heavy (180 damage, 15s) with Chain Stun (100 damage, 20s, 50 points).
- Earth and Fire have two skills each with no point-locked third skill, which fits Destructoid placing them last.
What criteria should you use?
- Rarity and pity cost. Higher rarity costs more crystals to guarantee: 50, 100 or 250.
- Published stats. Use the Trello numbers where they exist; treat claims about unpublished books as opinion.
- Race synergy. Anti Magic’s demonic form requires the Devil race, which has a 0.10% chance on a normal spin; see races.
- Recency. Check the date on any ranking; Destructoid’s was last updated on 2026-10-06.
Will the tier list change after the beta release?
Almost certainly. The game is labelled “BETA 0.1”, and the official Update 1.0 event on 2026-10-10 adds 1 Secret and 2 Epic grimoires whose names are not public yet. Track changes on updates.
