Alter Clan

One of the strongest clans in the game, added in the Alter Update (March 16, 2026). After using 5 abilities (sword, combat style, or fruit), your next ability deals 1.5x damage. Combined with +35% base damage, +50% Max HP, and +10% Melee DMG, Alter rivals Pride and Monarch for top-tier status.

Clan Ability

Alter Passive — after 5 abilities used (sword, combat style, or fruit), next ability deals 1.5x damage.

Ability Explained

The Alter passive tracks how many abilities you use across sword, combat style, and fruit — every 5th ability used triggers a 1.5x damage multiplier on the next ability cast. This effectively buffs every 6th ability you fire by 50%, rewarding builds that cycle through multiple skill types.

Optimizing the Passive

Save your highest-damage ability as the 6th cast in each cycle. Pairing Alter with Saber Alter melee (added in the same update) is a natural synergy since that style has multiple distinct ability slots to reach the 5-ability count quickly.
