Jujutsu Shenanigans Tier List

Is There an Official Tier List?

No. The Roblox game page and the official Trello board contain no character rankings — Trello tracks updates and version history, not strength ratings. Every tier list you find online is a community opinion piece, which means its quality depends on how much consensus it earned and which game version it was written for.

That is why this page reports the version number next to every ranking: a tier list without a version tag is already outdated.

The v1.68 Community Consensus

The most-discussed ranking, the “Definitive v1.68 Meta Tierlist” on r/JujutsuShenanigans, places three characters in S tier:

• Ten Shadows / Insanity (Megumi) — ranked #1; the gap at the top only widened after the Yuta changes.
• Cursed Partners / True Love (Yuta) — still S tier, but lost his strongest neutral tool (Rika Downslam Aerial), which is now mostly a combo tool.
• Blood Manipulator / Duty As A Brother (Choso) — untouched by that update, so his ranking held.

A tier opens with Star Rage / Unrestricted Density (Yuki), untouched that patch, and Puppet Master / Absolute (Mechamaru), whose base kit was only marginally improved. Note that rankings use the Awakening form names — Ten Shadows/Insanity and Cursed Partners/True Love are the same fighters as their base forms, just ranked by their awakened potential.

Consensus lists like this one take shape over hundreds of comments: the author posts a draft, the subreddit argues, and the +/-/= movement marks get corrected until the thread stabilizes. A list that survives 150+ comments with only minor disagreements is a much stronger signal than a solo video ranking with no discussion behind it.

Why These Three Sit in S Tier

The v1.68 thread’s reasoning is specific rather than vibes-based. Megumi was already the community’s #1, and the Yuta changes made the gap more solid — his tools became relatively stronger without Megumi himself being buffed. Yuta stayed S tier despite losing Rika Downslam Aerial as a neutral tool, because his combo game still carries him. Choso was untouched, which in a patch where others were nerfed is itself a small buff.

That pattern is worth remembering: in Jujutsu Shenanigans, being un-nerfed is often enough to rise. When a new patch drops, check the patch notes for who got nerfed — those are usually the biggest tier movements.

How the Community Grades Characters

The r/JujutsuShenanigans grading system uses seven tiers with explicit definitions: S (The Strongest), A (Advantageous), B (Balanced), C (Countered), D (the Dump), E (Excruciating) and F (Fuck Off) — the theoretical bottom tier that no character has ever actually reached.

Version movements are marked with (+) for up a tier, (v) for down, and (=) for unchanged. When reading a community list, check these marks first: they tell you what actually changed in the last patch instead of just where characters sit now.

Why Tier Lists Change Fast

Every balance patch reshuffles the meta. The v1.68 list (7 months old) was followed by a v1.74 video tier list, and by newer rankings two months ago — each one disagreeing with the last on several characters. Professional guide sites like games.gg maintain continuously updated 2026 tier lists for the same reason: static rankings stop being useful within weeks.

The practical takeaway: never trust a tier list that does not state its game version and update date, and re-check before tournaments or ranked sessions.

Tier List Version Timeline

The visible timeline of community rankings runs: v1.68 Reddit consensus (7 months ago), the v1.74 video tier list (4 months ago), a newer full-roster ranking (2 months ago), and continuously maintained 2026 lists on professional sites. Every entry in that timeline is a snapshot — the game’s own version counter has moved past all of them, so the newest snapshot is the only one worth using for decisions.

The cadence itself is useful: serious tier lists appear roughly every two months, which matches the game’s balance-patch rhythm. If the newest list is older than two patches, treat it as history.

How to Use a Tier List

Start by filtering for your playstyle, not just the top of S tier. Ten Shadows sits at #1 partly because his toolkit is forgiving; some A-tier characters reward specific tech that a casual player will not get value from. A character you can pilot consistently usually outranks an S-tier pick you play at 60% efficiency.

Be careful with Early Access characters: they can appear strong in one patch and get reworked the next, so their tier positions are the least stable of all. Prefer complete characters for ranked play unless you enjoy learning kits that may change under you. Also check the tier of your likely matchups: if you main an A-tier fighter, the lists tell you which S-tier opponents you will meet most — those matchups are where practice time pays off.

Common Tier List Misconceptions

First, S tier does not mean unkillable. The community’s own definitions call S “the Strongest”, not “the unbeatable” — counterplay exists, which is exactly what C (Countered) tier exists to describe. Second, the F tier is theoretical: the grading system itself notes that no character has ever fallen into it, so lists that dump a mid character into F are usually memes or salt.

Third, tier lists rank the character, not the pilot. A list that places your main low is a starting point for matchup research — read the comments for why people argue, then test the character yourself in a private server.

Where to Find Updated Rankings

The main sources are the r/JujutsuShenanigans meta threads (150+ comment consensus lists), DarkOtis’s version-tagged tier videos (v1.74 and newer, with per-character chapters for Locust Guy, Charles, Nanami and the rest of the roster), Zenith’s full-roster video, and games.gg’s maintained 2026 list. Cross-check two sources released within the same patch before changing your main.
