If you’re looking to dominate in Roblox Jump Stars, having the right character can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Jump Stars features 20 unique characters inspired by popular anime, each with distinct abilities, rarities, and combat styles. In this comprehensive tier list, I’ll rank every character from S to D tier based on damage output, utility, survivability, and overall effectiveness in both 3v3 and 5v5 matches.
Before diving into the rankings, understanding what makes a character strong in Jump Stars is crucial. Here are the key factors I considered:
Damage Output – Characters with high DPS and burst damage dominate matches by quickly eliminating opponents.
Range vs Melee – Ranged characters have inherent advantages in Jump Stars, allowing safer engagement.
Ultimate Ability – Game-changing ultimates that can wipe teams or control areas rank higher.
Survivability – Health pools, mobility, and defensive abilities affect how long characters stay in fights.
Rarity – While rarity often correlates with power, some lower-rarity characters perform exceptionally well.
Versatility – Characters effective across multiple game modes and team compositions provide more value.

These characters represent the absolute best options in Jump Stars, excelling in nearly every scenario with devastating abilities and strong base stats.
Mob stands as the rarest and most powerful character in Jump Stars. His Geokinesis abilities allow him to manipulate terrain itself, creating devastating area-of-effect attacks that can catch multiple enemies. His basic attack hurls rocks at opponents with surprising accuracy, while his ultimate literally lifts chunks of ground along with trapped enemies before launching everything skyward. The emotion meter mechanic adds another layer of power—as it fills, Mob’s damage output increases dramatically. With exceptional survivability and the ability to turn team fights with a single ultimate, Mob deserves his position at the pinnacle of this tier list. His only weakness is the extreme rarity, making him difficult for new players to obtain.
Goju excels at long-range combat with devastating cursed energy attacks. His basic attack fires red cursed energy balls that can hit enemies from impressive distances, making him ideal for players who prefer safer positioning. What truly elevates Goju to S-tier is his ultimate ability—a miniature black hole that pulls all nearby enemies toward its center before detonating in a massive explosion. This crowd control combined with area damage makes him invaluable in objective-based modes. Goju’s positioning gameplay rewards skilled players who can predict enemy movements and time ultimates perfectly. He synergizes exceptionally well with melee-focused teammates who can capitalize on grouped enemies.
Kafko brings versatility that few characters can match. Her basic attacks stun opponents while building super charge rate buffs, creating a snowball effect in extended fights. The unique low-health mechanic transforms her into a threat when wounded—gaining speed, damage, and reload buffs that often catch opponents off-guard. This comeback potential makes Kafko incredibly difficult to deal with, as pushing her low can actually empower her. Smart Kafko players deliberately take damage to trigger these buffs during crucial moments. Her hybrid nature allows adaptation to various team compositions and playstyles.
Speed defines Okaru’s playstyle. His dash-forward donkey kick launches enemies upward, disrupting positioning and setups. The ultimate ability pushes past all limits, granting extreme movement speed while attacking—imagine a character zooming across the battlefield landing hits faster than opponents can react. This mobility makes Okaru exceptional at chasing low-health targets, escaping dangerous situations, and controlling map positioning. Players with good mechanical skills can maximize Okaru’s potential, though mastering him requires practice with his unique movement patterns.
Kill embodies the assassin archetype perfectly. His electrical dash attacks stun enemies on contact, creating windows for devastating follow-ups. The Yo-Yo ultimate pierces through multiple targets while inflicting 0.2-second stuns to anyone hit—seemingly short, but in high-level play, that’s enough to secure eliminations. Kill’s burst damage potential allows him to delete squishy targets almost instantly. His mobility combined with crowd control makes him a nightmare for backline characters. The main skill requirement is positioning knowledge—knowing when to engage and which targets to prioritize.
The King of Heroes brings incredible crowd control to any team composition. His basic attack summons portals launching chains that pierce through enemies, providing consistent damage and area denial. The ultimate summons a massive drill as Gilgamesh dashes forward, stunning everyone caught in the path. This engagement tool can turn team fights by locking down multiple opponents simultaneously. Gilgamesh requires coordination with teammates to capitalize on his disruption, but in organized play, he’s absolutely terrifying. His rarity matches his power level—obtaining him feels rewarding.
Despite Epic rarity, Asto competes with Mythic characters through sheer damage output. Swinging the Demon-Slayer sword with anti-magic properties, his basic attacks cleave through opponents with impressive hitbox range. The thrusting ultimate pierces through anyone in its path, dealing massive damage to lined-up enemies. What makes Asto S-tier is accessibility—being Epic rarity means more players can obtain him compared to Mythics, yet his performance rivals rarer characters. This combination of availability and power makes him a staple in the meta.
Ayezan specializes in long-range pressure with Shikai slashes that unleash spiritual pressure bursts. His zoning capabilities keep enemies at bay while chipping away health bars. The ultimate summons a large coffin that traps opponents, piercing them with spears while inflicting damage-over-time to anyone within radius. This area denial forces enemies to respect Ayezan’s positioning or suffer continuous damage. He excels at controlling objectives and protecting teammates, making him invaluable in tactical play.

A-tier characters perform admirably in most situations and can compete with S-tier options when played correctly.
Orehimi fills the support role that every team needs. Her beam basic attack can either damage enemies or heal teammates, providing versatility in combat. The ultimate creates a healing area that recovers ally health over time—crucial for sustaining pushes on objectives. While her damage output isn’t as impressive as dedicated DPS characters, the utility she provides makes coordinated teams significantly more resilient. Orehimi requires smart positioning since she’s vulnerable to aggressive melee characters, but protected properly, she enables aggressive strategies that would otherwise be too risky.
Ichin brings assassination potential with incredible mobility. His dash ability cuts enemies with sword strikes while covering impressive distances, making him excellent at chasing or escaping. The ultimate unleashes a powerful slash that explodes at the end, dealing devastating damage to anyone caught. Ichin’s invisibility during dashes gives him unique outplay potential—skilled players can juke opponents and reposition unexpectedly. He requires mechanical skill to maximize effectiveness but rewards mastery with consistent high-level performance.
Mono’s projectile-based gameplay offers safe damage from range. His main attacks hit enemies from distances, allowing him to poke and pressure without exposing himself. The psychic hands ultimate can pull enemies close before delivering a roundhouse kick that sends them flying—this displacement ability creates picks and isolates targets. Mono excels in poke compositions and siege scenarios where range advantages matter most. His consistent damage output makes him reliable across all skill levels.
Guts wields a massive Dragon Slayer sword dealing tremendous damage per swing. His ultimate spins with doubled speed, hitting everything around him for massive DPS. The trade-off is slow attack speed—enemies can potentially avoid or kite him if they maintain distance. However, when Guts gets close, few characters can trade favorably. He’s perfect for players who enjoy high-risk, high-reward gameplay. Positioning and timing separate good Guts players from great ones.
Sosuke combines mobility with damage through Katana slices. His three-slash combo shreds through enemies quickly when upgraded. The ultimate teleports him to opponents before striking with Chidori, dealing burst damage while repositioning. This engage tool makes Sosuke threatening in narrow corridors and tight spaces where enemies can’t easily escape. He requires understanding of when to commit versus when to retreat, but in the right hands, Sosuke consistently secures eliminations.

Dracula’s life-steal mechanic provides incredible sustain in extended fights. His six-bullet basic attacks heal him based on damage dealt, making him difficult to eliminate through attrition. The Baskerville ultimate commands a beast to devour enemies, dealing massive burst damage. Dracula excels in brawling situations where he can continuously attack and heal. His aggressive playstyle rewards forward positioning and confident engagements. Some sources even argue he deserves S-tier placement after buffs.
Zanetsu possesses the fastest attack speed in Jump Stars, slashing enemies in rapid succession. His lightning-speed ultimate creates a flurry of attacks on impact, overwhelming targets before they can react. This speed makes Zanetsu excellent at securing low-health eliminations and applying constant pressure. He struggles against tank characters who can absorb his rapid strikes, but against squishy targets, Zanetsu is lethal.
Zoru’s three-sword style delivers damage across large areas. His basic attacks chain together for impressive reach, controlling space effectively. The ultimate unleashes a tornado-style attack with all three swords, slicing through anything in range. Zoru’s stage-based power scaling means he becomes more threatening as fights progress. His ultimate’s range makes even backline characters vulnerable, forcing enemies to constantly reposition.
B-tier characters have clear strengths but significant weaknesses holding them back from higher placements.
Despite Mythic rarity, Janetsu falls into B-tier due to inconsistent performance. While his abilities show potential, execution difficulty and situational effectiveness limit his impact. He works well in specific team compositions but struggles to carry games independently like higher-tier characters can.
Itaduri’s punch-based attacks create massive destruction with proper timing. His timed ultimate can unleash devastation when executed correctly, but the timing requirement creates inconsistency. Against ranged enemies who can maintain distance, Itaduri struggles to land his high-damage attacks. However, in chaotic team fights where enemies cluster, Itaduri can swing momentum dramatically. Upgrading him improves reliability significantly.
Joltero functions as a tank character with chain-punch basic attacks. His leap-slam ultimate deals area damage, clearing points effectively. While his body-slam potential and high attack speed provide value, mobility limitations make chasing ranged enemies problematic. Joltero works best defending objectives rather than pursuing kills, making him situationally strong but not universally powerful.
Goko delivers balanced performance with punch-kick combos and Kamehameha beam ultimate. As a Rare character, he’s accessible but lacks the raw power of higher rarities. His melee focus requires getting close to enemies, creating risk without corresponding reward. Goko works fine for beginners learning game mechanics but becomes outclassed as players progress and unlock better options.
Gone brings interesting mechanics with rock-paper-scissor combat including AoE attacks and projectiles. His explosive dash ultimate hits hard when it connects. However, predictability in his attack patterns allows experienced opponents to counter him effectively. Gone requires specific team support to function optimally.
Similar to Gone, Gon utilizes varied attack types but struggles with consistency. His Mythic rarity suggests power, but execution difficulty prevents casual players from maximizing his potential. In skilled hands with proper teammates, Gon performs admirably, explaining his B-tier placement rather than lower.

C-tier characters have narrow use cases and generally should be replaced when better options become available.
Vegita serves as a solid early-game unit with 10,000 HP providing defensive bulk. His four-projectile basic attack and powerful beam ultimate offer respectable damage. However, being Rare rarity means his stats don’t scale well into late game. Vegita excels as a starter character, teaching players about positioning and ability usage, but his simple mechanics become predictable for opponents. His ultimate is easily avoided by experienced players. Consider him a stepping stone toward better characters.
Jinwu’s slash-based attacks with critical hit potential provide burst damage opportunities. His ultimate summons six shadow soldiers forming an army once the meter fills. This summoner playstyle offers unique gameplay, but the soldiers’ AI can be unreliable. Jinwu requires significant meter building before unleashing his full potential, and aggressive enemies can shut him down before he becomes threatening. In longer matches where he can establish his summons, Jinwu becomes more viable.
Luffo’s stretching limbs provide both ranged and melee options, offering flexibility. His extending-arms ultimate punches enemies from distance. However, compared to other characters, Luffo lacks raw damage output and survivability. His simple mechanics make him easy to play but equally easy to counter. Low stats and basic gear relegation him to C-tier. New players might use him briefly, but upgrading to higher-tier characters should be a priority.
Naroto throws kunais for short-range damage with Shadow Clone Rasengan ultimate. While thematically cool, his damage output disappoints compared to alternatives. The Rasengan charge is telegraphed, allowing enemies to dodge easily. His Rare status limits stat growth, making him nonviable in competitive matches. Naroto works for players who specifically want that ninja aesthetic, but performance-wise, he’s outclassed.
D-tier characters should generally be avoided except as starter options until replacements can be obtained.
Tanjeuro performs three-slash attacks quickly with a water-slash leap ultimate. Despite flashy animations, his damage output is insufficient for meaningful impact. His low HP makes him vulnerable to burst damage, and his abilities don’t provide enough utility to compensate. While his attack speed is decent, he lacks the damage multipliers needed to threaten opponents. Tanjeuro works as an initial character while saving resources for better summons, but replacing him should be your first priority. The aesthetic appeal of his water techniques doesn’t translate into competitive viability.

Obtaining powerful characters requires understanding Jump Stars’ acquisition systems.
Summoning System – The primary method for getting new characters. Each summon costs 50 gems, while ten-pulls cost 500 gems. Use codes to stock up on free gems regularly.
Token System – Harder but guaranteed method. Complete battle pass missions to grind character tokens. Once you accumulate enough tokens for a specific character, you can purchase them directly, removing RNG entirely.
Rarity System – Jump Stars features five rarities: Rare (easiest to get), Epic, Legendary, Mythic, and Ultra Star (hardest). Higher rarities generally mean better stats and abilities, though some Epic characters like Asto perform at S-tier levels.
Free-to-Play Progression – Patient players can build strong rosters without spending Robux by redeeming codes consistently and completing daily missions for gem income.
Master One Character First – Rather than switching constantly, deeply learn one character’s combos, timings, and matchups before expanding your roster.
Understand Map Control – Positioning matters enormously in Jump Stars. Control key areas, use terrain for cover, and coordinate with teammates on objective captures.
Build Balanced Teams – Combining ranged damage, melee pressure, support healing, and crowd control creates well-rounded compositions harder for opponents to counter.
Practice Ultimate Timing – Knowing when to use ultimates versus saving them often determines match outcomes. Don’t waste powerful abilities on secured kills—save them for crucial moments.
Upgrade Your Mains – Once you’ve identified your preferred characters, invest resources into upgrading them rather than spreading resources thin across many units.
Learn Matchups – Understanding which characters counter others helps you adapt strategies and exploit weaknesses. Ranged characters generally beat melee; assassins delete squishy supports; tanks absorb damage for teammates.
Watch Top Players – YouTube and Twitch offer countless Jump Stars content. Observing how skilled players position, combo, and make decisions accelerates your learning.

The November 2025 Jump Stars meta has shifted with recent character additions and balance changes.
New Characters – Kafko and Ayezan joined as Mythic-tier units, immediately establishing themselves as meta picks with their powerful kits.
Balance Adjustments – Several characters received stat tweaks. B and C-tier characters got buffs improving their viability, though they still trail S-tier options.
Community Feedback – Developers actively monitor community discussions, implementing changes based on player experiences and feedback.
Upcoming Content – Rumors suggest new characters inspired by popular anime series may arrive soon, potentially reshaking tier rankings.
Mob is universally considered the strongest character in Jump Stars due to his Ultra Star rarity and devastating Geokinesis abilities. His ultimate can eliminate entire teams when used properly, and his emotion meter mechanic makes him progressively more dangerous throughout matches. However, Goju and Kafko compete closely for top spots depending on team composition and player skill level.
For beginners, I recommend starting with Vegita, Goko, or Luffo since they’re Rare characters that are easier to obtain. Among higher-tier options, Asto stands out as the best beginner choice—he’s Epic rarity (more accessible than Mythic), has straightforward mechanics, and performs at S-tier levels. His anti-magic sword attacks are easy to understand while still being effective at all skill levels.
Mob can only be obtained through the summoning system as he’s an Ultra Star rarity character with extremely low drop rates (typically under 1%). Your best strategy is accumulating as many gems as possible through codes, daily missions, and battle pass rewards, then doing ten-pulls for slightly better odds. Some players report needing hundreds of summons before obtaining Mob, so patience and gem management are crucial.
Not necessarily. While Mythic rarity usually correlates with higher base stats, characters like Asto (Epic) and Dracula (Legendary) perform exceptionally well despite lower rarities. Asto even ranks in S-tier alongside multiple Mythic characters. Character effectiveness depends more on abilities, playstyle fit, and player skill than purely on rarity. However, generally speaking, higher-rarity characters do have advantages.
The optimal team composition balances damage, support, and crowd control. A strong template includes one S-tier ranged character (Goju or Ayezan), one S-tier melee/assassin (Kill or Gilgamesh), and one support or tank (Orehimi for healing or Guts for tankiness). This provides damage from multiple ranges, disruption capabilities, and sustain. However, team synergy and player comfort matter more than strictly following tier lists.
The tier list typically shifts with major game updates occurring every 4-8 weeks. Balance patches adjusting character stats, new character additions, and meta evolution all influence rankings. I recommend checking updated tier lists monthly or after announced updates to stay current with the competitive meta. Community discoveries of optimal strategies can also cause tier shifts without official patches.
Absolutely! Player skill, game knowledge, and teamwork often matter more than character tier. Lower-tier characters can succeed with proper strategy, upgrades, and team coordination. Characters like Vegita and Itaduri perform admirably when played to their strengths despite B and C-tier placements. That said, S-tier characters do provide inherent advantages that become more significant at higher competitive levels.
Jump Stars codes expire frequently, so checking regularly is important. Codes typically grant free gems for summons, special items, or character tokens. I recommend joining the official Jump Stars social media channels and Discord server where developers announce new codes. Many Jump Stars content creators also compile updated code lists weekly.
Jump Stars delivers an engaging anime brawler experience on Roblox with diverse character options suiting various playstyles. While this tier list provides rankings based on current meta analysis, remember that the “best” character depends on your personal preferences, skill level, and team composition needs.
S-tier characters like Mob, Goju, and Kafko dominate competitive play with overwhelming abilities, but obtaining them requires significant gem investment or exceptional luck. Meanwhile, accessible options like Asto prove that Epic-rarity characters can compete at the highest levels when played correctly.
The beauty of Jump Stars lies in its balance between character power and player skill. Even lower-tier characters can secure victories through smart positioning, timing, and teamwork. As the game evolves with updates and new characters, this meta will continue shifting, keeping the competitive scene fresh and engaging.
I’ll update this tier list regularly as balance changes occur and new characters join the roster. Bookmark this page and check back frequently for the latest rankings. Most importantly, experiment with different characters to discover which ones resonate with your playstyle—personal enjoyment matters more than strict tier placements.
