Clover Time Grimoires

Overview

Clover Time pairs a ten-entry grimoire roster with a published spin currency and a completely unpublished set of drop rates. That combination is unusual, and it changes what a reference page can honestly do: the roster can be stated exactly, and the odds attached to it cannot be stated at all.

This page fixes the inventory first. It then separates what the developer has actually named from what only community pages report, and itemises the two move sets that have been recorded with working key binds. For the four gacha layers around the grimoire and the October update dates, start from the Clover Time hub.

All Ten Grimoires

Ten grimoires exist in the build. Community documentation for this game stalled at two of them, which is why searches for a full Clover Time grimoire list keep returning the same Ice and Battle Lightning entries and nothing else.

The last column is the important one. Only two of the ten have any rarity read attached anywhere, and both are community-reported rather than developer-published. Treat every unlabelled grimoire as unknown rarity, not as Common.

Officially Named Magics

The official experience page names exactly three magics in its own feature copy: Anti-Magic, Lightning and Flame. Everything else in the roster above is confirmed only by the developer's board rather than by marketing text, which means a reader scanning the store page will see three magics and reasonably conclude the game has three.

That gap is worth knowing about because it is the opposite of the usual problem. Most games over-advertise their content; this one under-advertises by seven grimoires.

Documented Move Sets

Two grimoires have had their abilities recorded in enough detail to publish. Both use the same bind scheme, and the bind tells you what role the skill plays: Z and X shape the M1 combo, C is a close-range punish, and E and R carry the ranged or area damage.

Rarity appears to drive how many abilities a grimoire gets, which would explain why the Legendary entry lists six skills and the Uncommon entry lists three — but the developer has never stated that rule, so treat it as a pattern in the published data rather than a system.

Battle Lightning Grimoire

A Close-range bruiser kit that converts its own M1s into lightning damage. Recorded as Legendary rarity by community documentation.

Two of the six skills have no recorded bind. That is a gap in the record, not evidence that the game ships them unbindable.

Ice Grimoire

A ranged control kit built around ice spikes and circular area denial. Recorded as Uncommon rarity by community documentation, with three skills.

Note the overlap with Battle Lightning: both use R for a Lay Line area skill. If you run either grimoire, R is a placement decision rather than a panic button.

How Grimoire Spins Work

Grimoires come from a spin, and spins are gated behind a farmed currency rather than a paid one. The pieces are published separately, which is why the route is easy to miss:

1. Reach the Grimoire Tower. There are four main locations — Hage Village, Grimoire Tower, Rayaka Village and Sosshi Village — and the tower is marked on the compass.
2. Farm Mana Crystals. Mana Crystal and Crystal Mana Frags are both published item entries, so the loop is to collect or craft crystals between runs. Recorded codes also hand out Spins directly, which is the cheaper way to test a roll.
3. Spin for a grimoire. A launch-day walkthrough records the gacha itself sitting at the tower, reachable by flying or by asking Finral to move you.
4. Spend stat points on the magic side. Skill access expands through the skill tree rather than through the spin alone.

Source: Clover Time developer board, Locations, Useful NPCs and Items lists, checked October 3, 2026. The board publishes Grimoire Tower alongside Hage Village, Rayaka Village and Sosshi Village, lists Finral under useful NPCs, and lists Mana Crystal and Crystal Mana Frags as items.

Reported Power Ordering

One independent community tier list groups the ten grimoires functionally rather than by rarity. Published on October 1, 2026 — before Update 1.0 — it reads:

Two things limit how far this should be trusted. It is a single source, and it predates the October 10 Update 1.0 that a 1.0 version number implies will move balance. Notably it rates Fire last while the community rarity record calls Ice merely Uncommon and still places it mid-table, so rarity and practical damage are clearly not the same axis here.

Why No Spin Odds Exist

There are no published drop rates for any Clover Time grimoire. This is worth stating outright because a set of grimoire percentages circulates widely and belongs to a different game: a 0.9% Anti-Magic spin rate and a 0.5% Devil race rate appear in coverage of a separate Black Clover Roblox RPG. Neither figure has any basis in this game's published data.

What is published is the denominator — ten grimoires, five races, nine traits — plus rarity ladders for social class and traits. Whether Anti Magic is rarer than Earth within those ten has not been stated by the developer, and launch footage could only confirm that Anti Magic was the rarest obtainable at the time of recording, not what its odds are.

FAQ

How many grimoires are in Clover Time?

Ten. The developer's own board lists Earth, Fire, Snow, Water, Ice, Chain, Explosive Flame, Poison, Battle Lightning and Anti Magic. Public listings that show two grimoires are incomplete rather than describing a smaller roster.

What is the rarest grimoire in Clover Time?

Launch-day footage shows Anti Magic as the rarest obtainable grimoire, but the developer has published no odds for it or for any other grimoire, so no percentage can be quoted honestly for this game.

How do you get a grimoire in Clover Time?

Spin at the Grimoire Tower, which is marked on the compass and reachable by broom flight or by having Finral teleport you. Spins consume Mana Crystals, which are collected or crafted rather than bought outright.

Which grimoire has the most skills?

Battle Lightning has the most recorded skills at six, against three for Ice. That lines up with the two grimoires' reported rarity labels, but the developer has never stated that rarity determines ability count, so the relationship is a pattern rather than a confirmed rule.

Do Clover Time grimoires have Awakenings?

Anti Magic does. Launch footage records a base move set plus a separate Awakening move set unlocked through a cutscene, and notes that the base set has small area damage and grinds poorly compared with the Awakened set. Whether other grimoires awaken the same way has not been recorded.

Change Log
