The best VV Ultimatum clans to aim for are Cypher for Hollow, Shihoin or Kuchiki for Shinigami depending on your build, and Kurosaki for Quincy, with strong alternatives if you lean into Hakuda, Kido, weapon damage, or defense.
Clans in VV Ultimatum hand your build a permanent set of passive bonuses, so the “best” one is really the one that boosts the stats your faction actually leans on. That means the top pick shifts a little depending on whether you play a movement-heavy aggressor, a Kido caster, or a tanky melee bruiser. Below is the direct target for each faction, followed by the build-specific picks worth rerolling toward.
Top clan pick for each faction at a glance
| Faction | Best clan | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Hollow | Cypher | Resurrection value plus solid all-round stats |
| Shinigami | Shihoin or Kuchiki | Shihoin for mobility, Kuchiki for Kido |
| Quincy | Kurosaki | Fast builds with heavy weapon pressure |
If you only remember three names, those are the ones. Cypher is the general Hollow goal, Shihoin and Kuchiki split the Shinigami crown between speed and casting, and Kurosaki is the safest Quincy answer for most strong builds. Everything past this point is about matching a clan to how you actually play.
How clans and rerolls work
Every clan attaches passive stat bonuses to your character, which is why chasing the right one can noticeably raise your faction’s ceiling. You reroll clans using clan tokens, which come from defeating enemies, daily rewards, or the game pass, and each roll can land anywhere from common up to legendary rarity.
There’s also a pity system worth planning around: if you reroll 100 times without hitting a legendary, the next roll is a guaranteed one. That’s a valuable pull, so don’t burn it landing a legendary that gives stats your build never touches.
Best Hollow clans and when to pick each
| Clan | Use | Key bonuses |
|---|---|---|
| Cypher | Overall Hollow pick | 20% longer resurrection, 2% Kido damage, 5 reiatsu, 2.5 shunpo stamina |
| Jaegerjaques | Hakuda Hollow | 3% Hakuda damage, 3 shunpo stamina |
| Aaroniero | Kido Hollow | Kido damage, reiatsu, and Kido defense; lowers melee defense |
Cypher is the standout overall target. The 20% longer resurrection is the headline, and on top of that you pick up 2% Kido damage, 5 reiatsu, and 2.5 shunpo stamina — so it rewards you both for the extra resurrection uptime and for the flat stats around it.
If your Hollow leans on hand-to-hand pressure, Jaegerjaques is the better fit thanks to its 3% Hakuda damage and 3 shunpo stamina. Kido-focused Hollows can look at Aaroniero, which stacks Kido damage, reiatsu, and Kido defense — just note that it lowers melee defense, so it’s a poor choice if you take a lot of physical hits. The Hollow side of the clan meta is still settling as the game is new, so treat these as the current best targets rather than a fixed ranking.
Best Shinigami clans by build style
| Clan | Use | Key bonuses |
|---|---|---|
| Shihoin | Mobility and aggression | 15 shunpo stamina, 5 shunpo speed, 1% lightning damage, 0.5% Hakuda damage |
| Kuchiki | Kido builds | 3% Kido damage |
| Komamura | Tanky melee or weapon | Wolfman transformation, 4% melee defense, 1% weapon damage; -2% Kido defense |
Shinigami is the faction where your clan choice swings hardest on build. Shihoin is one of the strongest all-round picks because it loads up on movement — 15 shunpo stamina, 5 shunpo speed, 1% lightning damage, and 0.5% Hakuda damage — making it ideal for fast, aggressive play where you’re constantly repositioning.
For a Kido build, Kuchiki is the cleanest option; its flat 3% Kido damage lines up perfectly with what a caster wants and nothing is wasted. Komamura is the other legendary to weigh, bringing a wolfman transformation, 4% melee defense, and 1% weapon damage — but its -2% Kido defense means it belongs on tanky melee or weapon players, not Kido users. Yamamoto shows up as another top offensive Shinigami pick, though its exact bonuses aren’t nailed down, so treat it as a strong aggressive alternative rather than a numbers-first choice.
Best Quincy clans by build style
| Clan | Use | Key bonuses |
|---|---|---|
| Kurosaki | All-around, speed and weapons | 2 reiatsu, 2% weapon damage, 5 shunpo speed |
| Eisenhower | Defense and posture | 3% melee defense, 5 posture, 0.5% Hakuda damage |
| Ishida | Kido / ranged pressure | 2% Kido damage, 5 shunpo stamina |
| Haschwalth | Kido damage | 2.5% Kido damage |
Kurosaki is the best general Quincy clan for most strong builds. Its 2 reiatsu, 2% weapon damage, and 5 shunpo speed are exactly what a fast Quincy with heavy weapon pressure wants, which is why it stays the most popular all-around pick even when flashier legendaries appear.
If you’d rather trade some speed for durability, Eisenhower is the defensive answer, adding a metal-arm cosmetic along with 3% melee defense, 5 posture, and 0.5% Hakuda damage — better for a sturdier, posture-focused Quincy. For Kido-leaning setups, Ishida (2% Kido damage and 5 shunpo stamina) and Haschwalth (2.5% Kido damage) push your casting harder, with Haschwalth the strongest raw caster clan of the two. Even so, unless you’re committed to Kido, Kurosaki remains the more flexible default.
Save your 100-roll pity for a legendary that matches your faction build — don’t spend the guaranteed roll on a clan whose bonuses your playstyle never uses.
Deciding whether a clan is worth rerolling for
KEY!
The best clan is almost never just the rarest one. Before you commit tokens, look at three things: your faction, your build, and whether the clan’s bonuses actually touch the stats you rely on. A legendary that boosts Kido defense does nothing for a weapon-pressure Quincy, and a mobility clan is wasted on a player who never repositions.
Line the clan up against how you play. A Hakuda Hollow wants Hakuda damage, a Kido Shinigami wants raw Kido damage, and a fast Quincy wants weapon damage and shunpo speed. If a clan’s numbers land squarely on stats you use every fight, it’s worth chasing; if they scatter across things you’ll never notice, keep rolling.
Most of all, use your pity wisely. Rerolls toward the clan that fits your faction build beats locking yourself into a rare one that reads impressively but does nothing for your kit.
Using free rerolls before you spend
You don’t have to grind out every reroll the hard way. Free codes can hand you batches of clan rerolls at no cost — a release-window code, for example, has bundled in clan rerolls alongside an accessory — so it’s worth redeeming whatever’s currently active before spending premium currency.
Because these codes rotate as new patches land, check for fresh ones rather than relying on any single list, and clear out your free rerolls first. Once you’ve got the clan that fits your faction and build, you’re set to move on to tightening the build itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best overall clan in VV Ultimatum?
There’s no single clan that’s best for everyone, since the top pick depends on your faction and build. The safest strong targets are Cypher for Hollow, Shihoin or Kuchiki for Shinigami, and Kurosaki for Quincy.
What is the best clan for Hollow players?
Cypher is the main Hollow goal thanks to its 20% longer resurrection plus Kido damage, reiatsu, and shunpo stamina. If you run a Hakuda Hollow, Jaegerjaques is better, and Kido Hollows can use Aaroniero as long as they can live with its melee-defense penalty.
Should Shinigami players choose Shihoin or Kuchiki?
It comes down to build. Pick Shihoin for fast, aggressive, movement-heavy play — its shunpo stamina and speed are ideal. Pick Kuchiki if you run a Kido build, since its 3% Kido damage feeds casters directly.
Is Kurosaki better than Ishida or Haschwalth for Quincy?
For most builds, yes. Kurosaki is the flexible all-around pick built around weapon damage and speed. Ishida and Haschwalth only pull ahead on dedicated Kido setups, where their Kido damage bonuses matter more.
Should I reroll as soon as I get a legendary clan?
Not automatically. A legendary is only worth keeping if its bonuses hit stats your build uses. If a legendary gives you Kido defense on a weapon build, it’s fine to keep rerolling toward one that fits — and save your 100-roll pity for that.
