If you’re diving into Sorcerer Ascent, you already know this isn’t your typical Roblox experience. This Jujutsu Kaisen-inspired RPG throws you into an intense world where choosing the right innate technique and clan can mean the difference between dominating raids or getting absolutely demolished in PvP. I’ve spent countless hours grinding this game, testing every technique from Disaster Plants to Blood Manipulation, and I’m here to share everything I’ve learned.
In this comprehensive Sorcerer Ascent tier list, I’ll break down exactly which innate techniques reign supreme for both PvP and PvE, which clans provide the best stat bonuses for your build, and how to maximize your sorcerer’s potential. Whether you’re rolling for your first technique or deciding if you should burn Soul Points on a reroll, this guide has got you covered.
| Category | Quick Details |
|---|---|
| Best PvP Techniques | Disaster Plants, Cursed Speech, Straw Doll, Disaster Flames |
| Best PvE Techniques | Disaster Plants, Blood Manipulation, Cursed Speech, Disaster Flames |
| Top Clans for CE Builds | Choso (Special), Kamo (Glorious), Tsukumo (Glorious) |
| Top Clans for Physical Builds | Itadori (Special), Nanami (Glorious), Todo (Epic) |
| Reroll Currency | Soul Points (from Raids, Lucky Boxes, Codes) |
| Level Required | Progress past Jujutsu High for techniques |
| Domain Expansion Unlock | Level 105 + Maximum Mastery + Special Items |

Let me be crystal clear about something: the “best” technique in Sorcerer Ascent depends entirely on whether you’re grinding PvE content or dominating in PvP battlegrounds. I’ve split my rankings into two separate tier lists because what works for boss farming doesn’t always translate to player combat.
When you’re facing another player, you need techniques that offer reliable stuns, combo potential, and the ability to pressure your opponent. Here’s how the techniques stack up in PvP scenarios:
| Tier | Innate Techniques | Key Strengths |
|---|---|---|
| S | Disaster Plants, Cursed Speech, Straw Doll, Disaster Flames | Heavy stuns, combo control, high burst damage |
| A | Blood Manipulation, Ratio, Explosive Flesh | Good damage output, versatility, skill-dependent |
| B | Blazing Courage, Thunder God | Decent damage, requires good positioning |
| C | Earth Manipulation, Crystal Formation | Slow animations, easily punished |
For PvE content like raids, boss fights, and wave clear, you want techniques with strong AOE damage and sustained DPS. Enemy AI can’t dodge like players, so slower techniques become much more viable:
| Tier | Innate Techniques | Key Strengths |
|---|---|---|
| S | Disaster Plants, Blood Manipulation, Cursed Speech, Disaster Flames | Massive AOE, high damage, CE regeneration |
| A | Explosive Flesh, Straw Doll, Ratio, Blazing Courage | Strong single-target, reliable damage |
| B | Earth Manipulation, Crystal Formation, Thunder God | Beginner-friendly, decent clear speed |
Now let me dive deep into each technique and explain exactly why they rank where they do. I’ve personally tested every single one of these in both PvP and PvE scenarios, so you’re getting real, battle-tested insights here.
PvP Rating: S-Tier
Disaster Plants is hands-down one of the most oppressive techniques in PvP. The key here is the ridiculous amount of stun abilities this moveset offers. Moves like Flower Field provide stuns that CANNOT be combo broken or vented from, which means once you land it, you’ve got a guaranteed damage window.
What makes this technique so deadly is that you have reliable combo starters that reset every time the cooldowns come back up. Your opponent literally cannot escape once you land these moves. I’ve won countless 1v1 duels simply by rotating my stun abilities and punishing every opening.
PvE Rating: S-Tier
In PvE, Disaster Plants becomes even more dominant. The massive AOE coverage lets you clear enemy waves effortlessly, and the damage output against bosses is insane. But here’s the real kicker: the Domain Expansion provides cursed energy regeneration, allowing you to spam skills almost infinitely during raid encounters.
Key Abilities:
Stat Requirements: Focus heavily on Cursed Energy Output (CEO) and Cursed Energy Amount (CE)
PvP Rating: S-Tier
Cursed Speech is absolutely cracked in the right hands, but it’s also one of the most skill-dependent techniques in the game. Every single move bypasses blocks, which means turtling opponents get destroyed. The damage output is phenomenal, but you NEED good aim and timing to hit your shots consistently.
I’ve seen players with Cursed Speech completely dominate tournaments, and I’ve also seen players struggle because they can’t land their abilities. This technique has an incredibly high skill ceiling, so expect a learning curve.
PvE Rating: S-Tier
Against AI enemies, Cursed Speech becomes significantly easier to use since mobs can’t dodge or react effectively. This lets you fully leverage the high damage and crowd control tools without worrying about getting punished for missed shots.
Key Abilities:
Pro Tip: Practice your aim in lower-stakes PvE content before taking this into ranked PvP. Once you master the ability targeting, you’ll be unstoppable.
PvP Rating: A-Tier
Blood Manipulation deals phenomenal damage and has excellent combo potential, but there’s a catch: the windups are noticeably slow. Experienced PvP players will dodge your attacks and punish you during the animation lag.
The key to succeeding with Blood Manipulation in PvP is mastering spacing and kiting. Use your ranged moves to keep pressure while staying at a safe distance. If you have the Choso clan, you get access to Flowing Red Scale: Stack, which provides incredible mobility to offset the slow windups.
PvE Rating: S-Tier
In PvE, those slow windups matter way less because enemies don’t have player-level reaction times. You can safely unleash your full damage potential, and the ranged playstyle lets you fight bosses from a comfortable distance without taking unnecessary damage.
Key Abilities:
Build Tip: Pair this with Choso clan for maximum synergy. The clan bonus upgrades Flowing Red Scale to a stacking version, which is game-changing.
PvP Rating: S-Tier
Disaster Flames is the definition of a “feast or famine” technique. When you land a clean combo, you can literally one-shot opponents with the insane burst damage. However, this technique scales HEAVILY with stat investment – you need significant points in Cursed Technique Damage and a CE damage boosting clan to really shine.
The major weakness is the lack of consistent stun tools. You need to execute your combos perfectly and invest heavily into your build. But once you do, the payoff is absolutely worth it.
PvE Rating: A-Tier (S-Tier with investment)
Early game, Disaster Flames feels weak. But once you invest heavily into CE damage stats, this technique becomes a boss-melting machine. The AOE damage is incredible for wave clear, and fully built, you’ll delete raid bosses in seconds.
Key Abilities:
Investment Required: HIGH. Don’t pick this if you’re not willing to commit Soul Points and stat allocations to maximize CE damage.
PvP Rating: S-Tier
Straw Doll is one of the most frustrating techniques to play against. Once you land the hair steal ability, you can kite your opponent indefinitely while spamming damage from a safe distance. The setup-based playstyle rewards patient players who can land that initial grab.
Your success hinges entirely on landing the setup move. Miss it, and you’re playing at a disadvantage. Hit it, and your opponent is in for a world of pain as you chip them down from range.
PvE Rating: A-Tier
The core gimmick of Straw Doll – setting up the voodoo doll connection – matters less against PvE enemies. You still deal consistent damage, but it’s not as impactful as it is against human players who can’t escape your kiting.
Key Abilities:
PvP Rating: A-Tier
Ratio excels at hit-and-run tactics. It’s incredibly fast with multiple dash options, making it perfect for players who like aggressive, mobile playstyles. Instead of committing to long combos, you dash in, deal chip damage, and dash out before your opponent can retaliate.
The flexibility and speed make this a strong choice for skilled players who can consistently land hits without getting caught in enemy combos.
PvE Rating: A-Tier
Ratio performs reliably in PvE, though it lacks the raw AOE damage needed to compete with top-tier farming techniques. It’s solid all-around but doesn’t excel in any particular area.
Key Abilities:
Playstyle: High-speed, hit-and-run. Perfect for players with good mechanical skills.
PvP Rating: B-Tier
Explosive Flesh is high-risk, high-reward. The abilities have noticeable startup lag that experienced players will dodge and punish. However, if you can catch an enemy in an M1 combo, the damage output is absolutely insane.
Your success depends entirely on your combo game. Master your M1 strings, and you’ll delete opponents. Miss your setup, and you’re toast.
PvE Rating: A-Tier (Best beginner PvE technique)
In PvE, landing combos is trivial because enemies don’t dodge effectively. This makes Explosive Flesh one of the most beginner-friendly PvE techniques despite being an Epic rarity. The damage-to-rarity ratio is exceptional for farming.
Key Abilities:
PvP Rating: B-Tier
Blazing Courage has one standout move: Flame Roar. If you land it, the damage is fantastic. The problem? Most of the abilities are difficult to combo into consistently. You’ll land solid damage when things go right, but reliability is an issue.
PvE Rating: B-Tier
Decent sustained damage and definitely better than lower-rarity options, but it’s clearly outclassed by higher-tier techniques in farming efficiency.
Best For: Players who got this from their initial roll and don’t want to reroll yet.
PvP Rating: A-Tier
Thunder God offers unmatched attack speed and mobility. It’s excellent for aggressive players who want to apply constant pressure. The fast-paced playstyle makes it a strong PvP choice when played correctly.
PvE Rating: B-Tier
While the speed is nice for PvE, it lacks the AOE damage and burst potential needed to compete with top-tier farming techniques.
Unique Strengths:
PvP Rating: C-Tier
Crystal Formation has a useful counter ability and defensive tools, but the main damage moves have significant startup lag. You can deal decent damage and play fairly tanky, but it’s outclassed by nearly every other option.
PvE Rating: B-Tier
Good tankiness and simple AOE make this beginner-friendly for farming, but damage falls off quickly as you progress.
When to Keep: If you’re brand new and don’t have Soul Points to reroll, this will get you through early game.
PvP Rating: C-Tier
Slow animations and low damage make this one of the weakest PvP choices. You’ll struggle against any competent opponent.
PvE Rating: B-Tier
It’s serviceable for basic content clearing, but every higher-rarity technique outperforms it significantly.
Recommendation: Reroll as soon as you have Soul Points unless you’re extremely early in progression.
Clans in Sorcerer Ascent are actually simpler to evaluate than techniques. They provide passive stat bonuses that directly enhance your chosen build. The key question is: are you building for Cursed Energy damage or Physical/Weapon damage?
| Tier | Clans | Rarity | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Choso, Itadori, Inumaki | Special/Glorious | CE damage, Physical damage, Cursed Speech users |
| A | Kamo, Tsukumo, Nanami | Glorious | CE builds, balanced builds, melee builds |
| B | Todo, Kusakabe, Kugisaki | Epic | Early-mid game progression |
| C | Nitta, Ino | Rare | Minimal impact, reroll recommended |
| D | All Common Clans | Common | Zero bonuses, always reroll |
Stat Bonuses:
Why It’s S-Tier:
Choso is the undisputed champion for Cursed Energy damage builds. The +20% CE damage is massive, and the +25% CE pool ensures you never run out of resources during extended fights.
The real game-changer is the special perk for Blood Manipulation users. Even if you’re not using Blood Manipulation, the stacking version of Flowing Red Scale provides incredible mobility that benefits any CE-focused build.
Best Technique Pairings:
Strategy: If you’re committed to a CE damage build and willing to invest Soul Points, keep rolling until you get Choso. The stat bonuses are simply too good to pass up.
Stat Bonuses:
Why It’s S-Tier:
For melee and weapon-focused builds, Itadori is unmatched. The +30% Black Flash damage and +18% physical damage create a multiplicative effect that results in absolutely devastating close-range combat.
The Special Black Flash mechanic rewards skilled players who can maintain aggressive pressure and chain their combos effectively.
Best Technique Pairings:
How to Use Black Flash:
Stat Bonuses:
Why It’s S-Tier:
While the stat bonuses are good but not exceptional, the real value of Inumaki clan is the increased chance to roll Cursed Speech – one of the best techniques in the game. If you’re planning to reroll for Cursed Speech, having Inumaki clan significantly improves your odds.
Strategy: Best used as a stepping stone. Get Inumaki, then reroll techniques until you land Cursed Speech. Once you have Cursed Speech, you can decide whether to keep Inumaki or roll for Choso.
Stat Bonuses:
Analysis:
Kamo is the second-best CE damage clan, trailing only behind Choso. The stat spread is excellent, and the Blood Manipulation bonus makes this perfect for players targeting that specific technique.
Recommended Path: Use Kamo while farming for Blood Manipulation, then reroll for Choso once you have the technique locked in.
Stat Bonuses:
Analysis:
Straightforward CE damage bonuses with no drawbacks. It’s not as powerful as Choso or Kamo, but it’s still a solid choice for any CE-focused build.
Stat Bonuses:
Analysis:
Well-balanced for melee builds but doesn’t excel in any particular area. It’s the “safe” choice that performs consistently across different playstyles without being exceptional.
Stat Bonuses:
Analysis:
Decent for early-to-mid game melee builds, but lacks the scaling to remain relevant in late-game content. Reroll once you have Soul Points available.
Stat Bonuses:
Analysis:
Minor mixed bonuses that don’t strongly support any specific build. It’s usable early but gets replaced quickly.
Stat Bonuses:
Analysis:
Small CE bonuses that are too minimal to justify keeping long-term. Reroll when possible.
Bonuses: +3% CE Damage / +3% CE respectively
Analysis: The bonuses are so minimal they have almost zero impact on actual combat performance. These are only marginally better than common clans.
Bonuses: NONE
Analysis: Provides absolutely zero stat bonuses. Always reroll immediately. There’s no reason to ever keep a common clan.
Soul Points are your reroll currency for both techniques and clans. Here are the best farming methods I’ve discovered:
1. Raids (Best Method)
2. Lucky Boxes
3. Redeem Codes
4. World Events
5. Special Merchant Trades
Domain Expansion is the ultimate ability for your chosen technique. Here’s exactly how to unlock it:
Soul Swap Stone Sources:
Domain Expansion Essence Sources:
Pro Farming Tip: Focus on Lucky Boxes first since they can drop both materials plus other valuable items. Once you’re Level 85+, start farming Grasshopper Curse for more reliable essence drops.
Based on hundreds of hours of testing, these are the optimal pairings:
S-Tier Combo: Disaster Plants + Choso
Alternative: Blood Manipulation + Choso
S-Tier Combo: Cursed Speech + Inumaki
Alternative: Disaster Flames + Choso
S-Tier Combo: Ratio + Itadori
Alternative: Explosive Flesh + Itadori
Best Starter Combo: Explosive Flesh + Todo
For CE Damage Builds:
For Physical Builds:
For Hybrid Builds:

Smart Reroll Path:
Many players burn their Soul Points rerolling at Level 10-20 before they even understand what techniques they like. Play with your initial roll until at least Level 40 before making reroll decisions.
Every technique has specific stat requirements for abilities. Allocate your stats properly or you won’t be able to use your best moves. Check ability requirements before committing points.
Having Choso clan with Ratio technique, or Itadori clan with Disaster Flames, wastes the clan bonuses. Match your clan to your technique’s damage type.
Lucky Boxes contain Attribute Reset Elixirs that let you respec stats for free. Ignore them, and you’ll waste Robux on stat resets later.
Domain Expansion abilities are game-changing. Don’t put off the Level 105 quest – start collecting materials early so you’re ready when you hit the level requirement.
For PvP, Disaster Plants and Cursed Speech are tied for #1 due to their oppressive stun abilities and damage output. For PvE farming, Disaster Plants edges ahead because of the CE regeneration from its Domain Expansion, which enables infinite skill spam during raids.
Prioritize getting a good technique first, then optimize your clan choice afterward. A great technique with a mediocre clan will outperform a mediocre technique with a great clan. Techniques define your playstyle, clans just enhance it.
There’s no guaranteed number since it’s RNG-based. Special techniques have approximately a 0.5-1% drop rate. Some players get lucky in 10 rolls, others take 200+. Budget at least 1,000-2,000 Soul Points if you’re targeting a specific Special technique.
No, you cannot change techniques on an existing character. You can only reroll for a different technique by creating a new character. This is why careful planning before committing to a character is crucial.
Explosive Flesh is the best beginner technique. It’s Epic rarity (much easier to roll than Special), deals massive damage in PvE when you land combos, and teaches you fundamental combat mechanics. Blood Manipulation is also excellent for beginners if you manage to roll it.
I personally don’t recommend spending Robux on Soul Points early game. You’ll earn plenty from raids, Lucky Boxes, and codes. Save your Robux for later when you’re min-maxing your build and need that final perfect reroll.
The most accessible weapons come from the Hotagurawa boss/dungeon and the Nanami weapon from the Nanami boss fight. Both become available as you progress through the story. Weapons aren’t technique-locked, so any character can use them.
No, you can only have one Cursed Technique active per character slot. This makes your initial technique choice extremely important since you’re committed to it for that character’s entire playthrough.
Start raiding as soon as you hit the level requirement (usually around Level 60-70 for early raids). Raids are the best source of Soul Points, so the earlier you start farming them, the more resources you’ll have for rerolls and progression.
Yes, tier lists can shift dramatically with balance patches. Bookmark this guide and check back regularly for updates. I’ll adjust rankings whenever significant changes are made to techniques or clans in game updates.

Sorcerer Ascent offers incredible depth in its technique and clan system. Whether you’re a PvP warrior looking to dominate duels or a PvE grinder optimizing raid clear times, understanding these tier lists will dramatically improve your gameplay experience.
Remember, tier lists are guidelines, not absolute rules. Player skill, stat allocation, and understanding your technique’s combos matter more than just picking the #1 ranked option. I’ve seen skilled Ratio players destroy opponents using “better” techniques simply because they understood their kit perfectly.
My recommendation? Pick a technique that matches your preferred playstyle, invest in learning its combos, pair it with the right clan, and master it. A perfectly played A-tier technique beats a poorly played S-tier technique every single time.
Keep this guide bookmarked and check back regularly for updates as the meta shifts. I’ll continue testing new techniques, analyzing balance changes, and updating rankings to ensure you always have the most current information.
Now get out there, roll that perfect technique-clan combo, and become the strongest sorcerer in the game. Good luck with your rerolls, and may RNG be ever in your favor!
