Type Soul Tier List FAQ: Clan Rerolls & Drop Rates
This guide answers the most common questions about the Type Soul tier list, including how clan rerolls work, what drop rates really are, and why rankings change between updates. You’ll get a clear picture of what the tier list measures, how to use it without over‑trusting it, and what actually affects a weapon’s or clan’s standing.
What the Tier List Actually Ranks
The Type Soul tier list ranks weapons, clans, and sometimes races by their effectiveness in PvP and PvE. It is not an official ranking from the game developers—it is a community‑driven consensus based on testing, patch notes, and player feedback. Most lists separate items into tiers (S, A, B, C, D) where S is the strongest and D is the weakest. The ranking usually assumes a skilled player with maxed stats, so a low‑tier weapon can still win in the right hands.
Weapons are ranked by their moveset, damage output, range, and utility. Clans are ranked by their passive bonuses and active abilities. Races are ranked by their unique transformations and stat boosts. Because the game receives frequent balance patches, the tier list is a snapshot of the current meta, not a permanent truth.
How Clan Rerolls Work
Clan rerolls let you change your character’s clan, usually by using a specific item or currency. In Type Soul, you can obtain a clan reroll from certain quests, boss drops, or the in‑game shop. When you use it, you are assigned a new clan at random from the available pool. The result is permanent until you use another reroll.
Important details:
- Rerolls do not guarantee a higher‑tier clan—they only give you a new random one.
- Some clans are rarer than others, so the odds of getting a specific top‑tier clan are low.
- You cannot trade rerolls or clans with other players.
- If you already have a good clan, using a reroll is a gamble—you might end up with something worse.
Players often save rerolls for when a new clan is added or when balance changes make a previously weak clan strong.
Drop Rates: What You Can Expect
Drop rates for clan rerolls, rare weapons, and other items are not officially published by the developers. Community data suggests that clan rerolls drop from certain bosses at roughly a 1–5% rate, but these numbers are estimates, not confirmed values. Rare weapons and clan items often have lower drop rates, sometimes below 1%.
Because drop rates are not official, you should treat any number you see on a wiki or forum as an approximation. The actual rates can change with updates, and some items are only available during limited‑time events. If you are farming for a specific item, the best strategy is to check the most recent patch notes and community posts for current drop locations and rates.
Why Rankings Change
Rankings change for several concrete reasons:
- Balance patches: The developers regularly buff or nerf weapons, clans, and races. A weapon that was S‑tier can drop to B‑tier after a damage reduction.
- New content: New weapons or clans are introduced, shifting the meta and pushing older ones down.
- Player discovery: Sometimes a previously overlooked weapon turns out to have a strong combo or tech, and the community re‑evaluates it.
- Gameplay changes: Changes to game mechanics, like stamina costs or cooldowns, affect how well certain weapons perform.
Because of this, a tier list from three months ago is likely outdated. Always check the date of the list you are reading.
How to Choose a Weapon or Clan
Instead of blindly picking the S‑tier option, consider your playstyle. If you prefer fast, close‑range combat, a high‑damage sword with quick attacks might suit you better than a slow, long‑range weapon that is technically higher on the list. Similarly, a clan that boosts your health and defense is more valuable if you tend to get hit often.
Here is a practical approach:
- Read the tier list notes—they often explain why a weapon is ranked where it is.
- Test weapons in a low‑stakes mode or against NPCs to feel their movesets.
- Watch recent gameplay videos to see how top players use the weapon in real fights.
- Consider your current stats and build—some weapons scale better with certain attributes.
Remember that tier lists are a starting point, not a rule. A weapon you are comfortable with is often better than a meta weapon you do not know how to use.
Common Mistakes and Misconceptions
One common mistake is assuming that a higher tier means an automatic win. Skill, timing, and matchup knowledge matter more than the weapon itself. Another misconception is that clan rerolls are the only way to get a good clan—some clans can be obtained through specific quests or events, so check the wiki before spending your rerolls.
Players also overvalue drop rates. If a boss has a 2% drop rate, that does not mean you will get the item after 50 kills—each kill is an independent chance. It could take 200 kills or more. Set a limit on how many times you farm in one session to avoid burnout.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best clan in Type Soul right now?
The best clan changes with every patch. As of the latest community tier lists, clans with strong passive abilities and useful actives (like healing or damage reduction) are usually top‑tier. Check the most recent tier list from a trusted source, because any answer you get today could be outdated tomorrow.
How do I get a clan reroll?
Clan rerolls drop from certain bosses, can be earned through quests, and are sometimes sold in the in‑game shop. The exact drop locations and rates vary by update, so check the current patch notes or a recent community guide. Do not rely on outdated information.
Can I trade clan rerolls with other players?
No, clan rerolls are account‑bound and cannot be traded. The same applies to most rare items in the game. This prevents players from buying or selling rerolls for real money, which is against the game’s rules.
Is the tier list official?
No, the tier list is created by the community, not the game developers. It is based on player testing and opinion, so it is subjective. Different sources may rank the same weapon differently. Use it as a guide, not as gospel.
Why was my favorite weapon nerfed?
Weapons are nerfed when they are too strong relative to others, making the game unbalanced. The developers aim for a diverse meta where many weapons are viable. If your weapon was nerfed, try adapting your playstyle or experimenting with a new one—you might find a new favorite.
Final Thoughts on Using Tier Lists
Tier lists are useful for understanding the current meta, but they are not a substitute for practice. The best way to improve is to play, learn matchups, and find what works for you. Keep an eye on patch notes and community discussions to stay up‑to‑date, and do not be afraid to use a “low‑tier� weapon if you enjoy it and perform well with it. The meta is always shifting, and today’s underdog could be tomorrow’s top pick.
