Warframe clan guide
Warframe clan tiers explained
Ghost, Shadow, Storm, Mountain, and Moon describe a clan's size bracket. Tier is useful context, but it is not a ranking of quality or activity.
Warframe clan tier sizes
| Clan tier | Member range | Maximum members |
|---|---|---|
| Ghost | 1–10 | 10 |
| Shadow | 11–30 | 30 |
| Storm | 31–100 | 100 |
| Mountain | 101–300 | 300 |
| Moon | 301–1,000 | 1,000 |
Digital Extremes has used these five brackets in official clan competitions and scoring. See the official tier ranges.
What tier tells you—and what it does not
Tier tells you the clan's supported size bracket. It does not tell you how many members are currently active, how helpful they are, whether research is complete, or whether leaders organize events. A busy Ghost clan can feel more social than a quiet Moon clan.
That is why profiles in this directory separate tier from member count, recruiting status, activity signals, research, region, and community style whenever owners provide those details.
Choosing a size that fits
Ghost and Shadow clans
Smaller clans can make it easier to know other members and influence the community. They may have fewer people online at unusual hours, so timezone overlap matters.
Storm clans
Mid-sized communities can balance a recognizable membership with a broader activity pool. Ask how many members are active rather than assuming the full 100 places are occupied.
Mountain and Moon clans
Large clans can offer broader coverage across activities and timezones. Look closely at moderation, communication structure, inactivity policy, and how new members find groups inside the larger roster.
Use tier as one comparison point
Shortlist clans by the experience you want, then compare tier alongside current members, region, platform, research, and requirements. Browse the full directory or read the step-by-step clan selection guide.
