Jump Stars Tier List
Jump Stars features 20 unique characters spread across 5 different rarities: Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic, and the ultra-exclusive Ultra Star. While rarity often correlates with power, I’ve ranked these characters based on their actual battlefield performance, win rates, and versatility across different game modes.
Understanding the Meta
The current Jump Stars meta heavily favors characters with:
- Area of Effect (AoE) damage for crowd control
- Range superiority to maintain safe positioning
- Mobility options for quick gem collection
- Unique mechanics that bypass traditional counters
S Tier Characters – The Meta Dominators
Mob (Ultra Star)
The rarest character in Jump Stars deserves every bit of hype surrounding him. Mob can use his Geokinesis powers to lift a whole chunk of ground with enemies and blast them off, making him unmatched in crowd control situations.
Basic Attack: Throws rocks using telekinetic powers (damage increases with emotion meter) Super Attack: Psychic Outrage – Lifts terrain and enemies, then launches them in any direction Why S Tier: Incredible damage scaling, best stuns in the game, dominates at all ranges
Goju (Mythic)
Goju has a super attack where he forms a small black hole to attract everything and throw them off to the surroundings. This Mythic powerhouse defines the current meta with his versatile kit.
Basic Attack: Red cursed energy balls with adjustable range
Super Attack: Lapse Blue – Creates gravity orb that pulls then blasts enemies
Why S Tier: Exceptional at both close and long range, game-changing ultimate
Kill (Mythic)
The newest addition from the July update has already claimed his throne in the meta. Kill can stun enemies in no time and you can therefore clear them out.
Basic Attack: Electrical dash attacks that stun enemies
Super Attack: Yo-Yo attack charged with electricity (0.2 second stun on hit)
Why S Tier: Unmatched stun-lock potential, perfect for aggressive playstyles
Okaru (Legendary)
Despite being “only” Legendary rarity, Okaru proves that skill design trumps rarity. This speedster brings unparalleled mobility to any team composition.
Basic Attack: Dash forward donkey kick launching enemies upward
Super Attack: Extreme speed mode with devastating attacks
Why S Tier: Best mobility in the game, excellent for gem collection strategies
Gilgamesh (Mythic)
The King of Heroes lives up to his reputation with portal-based attacks that control the battlefield.
Basic Attack: Portal chains that pierce through enemies
Super Attack: Summoning drill dash with stun effect
Why S Tier: Unique mechanics, reliable stuns, zone control mastery

This psychic powerhouse excels at long-range harassment while maintaining defensive options.
Basic Attack: Projectile attacks for safe damage
Super Attack: Psychic hands that pull enemies close for roundhouse kick
Why S Tier: Versatile range options, displacement abilities
Zoru (Mythic)
Zoru the pirate hunter has the ability to perform an exceptional three-step attack as its basic move, while unleashing a slicing tornado as its super attack.
Basic Attack: Three-stage sword combo with increasing damage
Super Attack: Three Thousand Worlds – Tornado slash through everything
Why S Tier: Exceptional damage output, great range, amazing combo potential
A Tier Characters – The Reliable Powerhouses
Jinwu (Mythic)
Shadow Monarch mechanics make Jinwu a unique addition to any team. His army-summoning abilities create overwhelming pressure.
Basic Attack: Dashing slices with critical hit potential (double damage)
Super Attack: Summons six shadow soldiers as personal army
Why A Tier: Army mechanics unique but situational, excellent damage potential
Sosuke (Mythic)
Sosuke attacks with his Katana, and the super attack allows him to teleport and perform the Chidori. Simple but effective design.
Basic Attack: Lightning-fast katana strikes
Super Attack: Sword throw into Rinnegan teleport Chidori combo
Why A Tier: Easy to master, consistent damage, great mobility
Dracula (Legendary)
Dracula is the only legendary character in this list, but for good reason. It has a powerful life-stealing ability as his basic attack.
Basic Attack: Six-bullet barrage with life steal
Super Attack: Baskerville familiar devours enemies
Why A Tier: Sustainability through lifesteal, great range, solid damage
Gon (Mythic)
The Rock-Paper-Scissors system brings unique gameplay that rewards skill expression.

Super Attack: Getsuga Tensho energy wave with end explosion
Why B Tier: Great for hit-and-run tactics, requires positioning mastery

Itaduri has a special attack that can unleash devastation once timed correctly. Timing-based mechanics reward skilled players.
Basic Attack: Divergent Fist double punch with after-effect
Super Attack: Black Flash zone state for damage amplification
Why B Tier: High damage potential locked behind execution requirements
Joltero (Epic)
My favorite among them is Joltero since he is built like a tank and can body slam opponents as if they’re small ants.
Basic Attack: Ora Barrage stand punches
Super Attack: Shooting Star leap and slam
Why B Tier: Tank-like presence, easy to play, limited range options
C Tier Characters – The Early Game Heroes
Goko (Rare)
With 10,000 HP, Goko offers superb defense while your other units deal damage to the opponents. The starter tank.
Basic Attack: Dragon Rush punch/kick combo

Guts (Epic)
Sword-wielding warrior with straightforward gameplay.

Rubber powers translate poorly to Jump Stars’ fast-paced combat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which character should I summon first as a new player?
Focus on getting any A or S tier character first. Goju and Sosuke are excellent starter targets due to their ease of use. Save gems for 10x summons during rate-up events.
Are the starter Rare characters worth upgrading?
Only invest minimally in Goko for early progression. Replace all Rare characters as soon as possible – the stat difference is too significant to overcome with skill alone.
How often does the meta change?
Major updates occur roughly every 3-4 weeks. The recent Asto update (August 8, 2026) brought significant balance changes. You can also follow @P1XELWINS on X for code announcements and game updates.
What’s the difference between Mythic and Ultra Star characters?
Besides rarity (2% vs 0.1% drop rate), Ultra Star characters like Mob have completely unique mechanics not found in other rarities. They’re designed to be game-changers.
Can lower-tier characters compete in high-level play?
While skill matters significantly, the stat and ability gaps make it extremely difficult. B-tier characters can work with perfect team synergy, but C and D tier are simply outclassed.
Should I save for specific banners or summon immediately?
Check the current banner’s rate-up characters. If they’re S or A tier, summon. Otherwise, wait for better featured units or special events with increased rates.
How important are character levels compared to tier placement?
A maxed C-tier character still loses to a moderately leveled S-tier. Tier placement reflects base kit strength – levels amplify existing advantages but don’t overcome fundamental weaknesses.
Conclusion
Jump Stars’ character roster offers something for every playstyle, but understanding the tier list helps optimize your summoning strategy and team composition. While personal preference and playstyle matter, the current meta heavily favors the S and A tier characters for competitive success.
Remember that updates can shift these rankings – the recent Asto update proved that developers aren’t afraid to shake up the meta. Stay informed through official channels and adapt your strategies accordingly.
