Clover Time Magic Tier List Overview
Grimoires define a major part of your combat identity in Clover Time, the Black Clover-inspired anime RPG on Roblox by AnimeCore Studio. Each magic type favors a different playstyle, so the "best" Grimoire depends on damage, range, mobility, utility, and how well the abilities fit the rest of your build.
Currently confirmed magic options include Anti-Magic, Battle Lightning, and Flame. Because the game is still in active beta with frequent updates, additional Grimoires may be added over time, and balance changes can shift rankings quickly.
Clover Time is marked as a BETA RELEASE. Tier rankings here reflect currently confirmed content and community consensus as of October 2026. Updates can change magic effectiveness at any time, so re-check rankings after each patch.
Current Magic Tier Rankings
| Tier | Magic | Playstyle | Strengths | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | Anti-Magic | Close combat, aggressive pressure | Distinctive kit, strong duel potential | PvP-minded players, melee builds |
| A | Battle Lightning | Fast offensive pressure | Quick attacks, direct combat power | Aggressive burst-damage builds |
| B | Flame | Ranged and area damage | Straightforward offense, area coverage | PvE farming, beginner-friendly builds |
Tier Breakdown: Magic Comparison
Each confirmed magic serves a clear combat role. Compare the details below before committing your build direction.
Anti-Magic (S Tier)
- Top-tier candidate in current rankings
- Unusual anti-magic combat identity
- Close-combat oriented playstyle
- Best for players who want a distinctive, aggressive build rather than conventional elemental magic
Battle Lightning (A Tier)
- Strong candidate for most builds
- Lightning-themed offensive abilities
- Fits aggressive builds with fast attacks
- Rewards direct combat pressure and quick engagement
Flame (B Tier)
- Solid candidate with reliable offense
- Fire-based attacks and area damage
- Straightforward foundation for new players
- Works well for ranged or area-damage builds
Magic Comparison Table
| Magic | Damage | Range | Mobility | Ease of Use | PvP Value | PvE Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anti-Magic | ★★★★★ | ★★ | ★★★★ | ★★★ | Excellent | Good |
| Battle Lightning | ★★★★ | ★★★ | ★★★ | ★★★★ | Very Good | Very Good |
| Flame | ★★★★ | ★★★★ | ★★ | ★★★★★ | Good | Very Good |
Tier rankings assume equal investment. A well-built Flame character with strong stats and traits can outperform a poorly built Anti-Magic character. Always pair your Grimoire choice with matching stats and upgrades.
How to Choose Your Grimoire
Follow this process to pick the magic that fits your account and playstyle instead of blindly chasing the S-tier pick.
Assess Your Playstyle
Decide whether you prefer close-range aggression, mid-range pressure, or ranged area damage. Anti-Magic suits melee duelists, Battle Lightning suits fast attackers, and Flame suits ranged builders.
Obtain Your Grimoire Early
Get your Grimoire as early as possible. It determines the magic abilities available to your character and strongly influences your entire combat style going forward.
Match Stats to Your Magic
Invest progression resources into stats that support your chosen magic instead of spreading upgrades across every option without a clear build direction.
Align Races and Traits
Keep race and trait rolls that reinforce the same build direction. Synergy between your rolls, stats, and Grimoire matters more than any single tier ranking.
Build Simple Combos
Combine basic attacks and magic skills so each hit sets up the next. Short, reliable combinations are easier to control than using every ability at once.
A focused setup built around one magic is generally easier to use and more effective than mixing unrelated offensive and utility options across your kit.
Magic Performance by Content Type
Different content types reward different magics. Use this reference to match your Grimoire to the activities you plan to focus on.
| Content | Anti-Magic | Battle Lightning | Flame | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bosses | Strong | Strong | Very Good | Bosses punish poor positioning; use safe attack windows |
| PvP Duels | Excellent | Very Good | Moderate | Close-range pressure wins most duels |
| Questing | Good | Very Good | Excellent | Area damage speeds up quest clears |
| Squad Play | Very Good | Very Good | Good | Roles vary by magic type and build |
| AFK Progression | Neutral | Neutral | Neutral | AFK World rewards are not magic-dependent |
In Magic Squads, players naturally take different roles depending on their magic—damage dealers, crowd controllers, or space creators. A balanced group handles pressure more consistently than stacking a single magic type.
Supporting Systems That Affect Rankings
| System | Effect on Magic Value | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Awakening | Temporarily boosts combat power, strongest with high-tier magics | High |
| Spell Combos | Increases effective damage for magics with reliable combo chains | High |
| Stats | Amplifies your magic's core strengths when focused | High |
| Traits | Adds modifiers that can favor specific magic types | Medium |
| Races | Provides build bonuses that complement magic choice | Medium |
Build Goals Checklist
Work through these milestones after choosing your Grimoire to maximize your magic's tier potential.
Magic Build Milestones:
- Obtain your chosen Grimoire early
- Invest stats that match your magic type
- Learn reliable spell combos for your kit
- Save Awakening for important fights
- Review balance changes after each update
Avoid rerolling a useful Grimoire or trait combination just to chase a marginal tier upgrade before your core progression systems are established. Consistent play usually beats a marginally higher tier pick.
FAQ
Q: What is the best magic in the Clover Time magic tier list?
Anti-Magic currently ranks at the top as a top-tier candidate thanks to its distinctive close-combat identity and strong duel potential. However, the best magic ultimately depends on your playstyle—Battle Lightning and Flame both perform very well in the right builds.
Q: Is Flame a bad Grimoire in Clover Time?
No. Flame ranks as a solid candidate with reliable fire-based offense and area damage. It is one of the most beginner-friendly options and performs very well in questing and PvE content, even though it sits below Anti-Magic in overall rankings.
Q: Does the tier list change with updates?
Yes. Clover Time is in active beta with frequent updates, and the developers have confirmed balance changes are part of the development process. Re-check the tier list after each update before relying on an older build or combo.
Q: Should I always pick the S-tier magic?
Not necessarily. A focused build around any confirmed magic—supported by matching stats, traits, and combos—can outperform a poorly built S-tier pick. Choose the magic that fits your preferred combat style and build direction.
