What Water is like

Water shares Fire's 50,000 Yul price and its C-tier placement. Maxbit describes it as “similar to Fire where it's okay to start with but gets outscaled quite fast.”

Its awakening recipe is the friendliest of the starters for a brand-new account: Blue Herb and Clear Water are Starter Island materials, Earth Root is sold in the Materials shop, and Honeycomb comes from Skull Island. Only Mana Crystal (Castle Island) and Spirit Moss (Poison Island) are far away.

Water moves

No reliable move list yet
No Clover Legends source has documented Water's individual moves. We do not copy move names from other Black Clover games or outdated wikis. Your in-game spell bar is the source of truth; spells unlock at book Lv 10 and Lv 20.

Strengths & weaknesses

Strengths
  • Cheap to buy back (50,000 Yul)
  • Half its awakening materials come from Starter Island or the shop
Weaknesses
  • Outscaled by every Rare in mid-game
  • Mana Crystal needs a Castle Island trip (Lv 2100+)

Water awakening materials

Each stage (I → V) asks for the same six material types in rising quantities, plus Spell Pages from bosses, Yul and a book-level gate. Quantities are not published per book — read them from your Awaken tab and paste them into the planner.

How to play Water

  • Awaken Water only up to the stage that stays inside Starter/Skull materials, then move on.
  • Clear Water is also in the Auxiliary Corps Robe recipe (155 needed) — over-farming it is never wasted.

Verdict

Keep or reroll?
Fine for the first islands. Replace it with any Rare or better.

Water FAQ

Fire or Water?

Both rankings put them in the same tier. Maxbit gives Fire the slight edge for early PvE; Water's awakening materials are easier to gather early.

What do I need to awaken Water?
