Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest — Which Clan Should You Play First?
There is no official tier list. I looked for a stat spread and How To Video Game’s reporting says neither studio published one. Any page that ranks “the strongest clan” with attack numbers is guessing. My own suggestion, labeled as a suggestion: start with ThunderClan, because the books start there and the gameplay trailer starts there. That is not a power ranking.
| Clan | Territory | Their word | Named book cat | Savior score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ThunderClan | Dense forest | Courageous | Brightheart, Ivypool | 70 |
| RiverClan | Marshland | Graceful | Not named | 85 |
| ShadowClan | Dark pine swamp | Cunning | Tawnypelt | 85 |
| WindClan | Open moor | Swift | Tallstar | 85 |
Rules that apply to every pick
- SkyClan is not in the game.
- Changing clan means making a new cat. You cannot swap mid-story.
- Each clan has one saga and one savior achievement.
- Clan changes story, land, and a leaning in base stats. The numbers are unpublished.
Nine book cats can be talked to in the whole game. The studios named four. I am not assigning the unnamed five to a clan.
Questions on this page
What is the best clan?
No published stat sheet ranks them. I would start ThunderClan because the trailer and the books do. That is an editing choice.
Is SkyClan in the game?
No.
