Choosing a strong character can make learning Jujutsu Shenanigans much easier. Every Style has a different game plan, and the differences become more noticeable when players understand pressure, combo extensions, Awakening timing, and how to punish mistakes.
This Jujutsu Shenanigans character tier list covers the current roster from S+ to B, with a focus on PvP performance, combo potential, neutral pressure, Awakening strength, survivability, flexibility, and consistency.
⚠️ Tier List Disclaimer
This tier list is intended as a general reference, not a guarantee of victory. Rankings are based on overall Style potential in average matchups, they do not account for individual skill, matchup knowledge, or timing.
A lower-tier character in the hands of a skilled player can absolutely defeat a higher-tier character. Player skill, positioning, and familiarity with a Style consistently matter more than raw tier placement, so don't feel locked into a specific pick just because of where it lands here.
The strongest picks in Jujutsu Shenanigans right now are 10 Shadows (Megumi), Cursed Partners (Yuta), Blood Manipulator (Choso), and Perfection (Mahito) in S+ Tier. Mahito is the easiest of these to pick up, while Megumi and Choso reward more technical, spacing-focused play.

S+ Tier: The Best Characters
10 Shadows — Megumi

Megumi is one of the most rewarding characters to master, but he is not a simple pick-and-play fighter.
His strength comes from the Shikigami built into the 10 Shadows kit. Instead of relying entirely on direct melee pressure, Megumi can use summons to create openings, interrupt opponents, and control the space around him.
The downside is his relatively low durability. Getting caught in a prolonged close-range exchange can quickly put a Megumi player in trouble.
Cursed Partners — Yuta

Yuta stands out because of how many different situations his kit can handle.
Rather than being locked into one narrow game plan, he has enough variety to adapt to opponents who prefer rushing, defensive play, or keeping their distance. This flexibility makes him especially valuable in unpredictable public matches.
His Awakening also gives him another layer of offensive pressure, allowing experienced players to convert an opening into a much more dangerous sequence.
Blood Manipulator — Choso

Choso's biggest advantage is his ability to threaten opponents without constantly standing directly in front of them.
His Blood Manipulation attacks give him strong ranged pressure while still allowing him to transition into close-range offense. This creates an awkward matchup for players who rely heavily on rushing straight toward their opponent.
Good Choso players constantly make the opponent decide whether to approach, block, or reposition. Once that defensive reaction creates an opening, Choso can turn it into meaningful damage.
Perfection — Mahito

Mahito is arguably the easiest S+ character to recommend to a new player.
His kit naturally supports aggressive combat, giving him several ways to maintain pressure at close range. His transformed attacks provide useful variety, while his Awakening gives him an extremely threatening way to finish fights.
What makes Mahito especially strong is the combination of high combat potential and relatively low entry difficulty. You can understand his basic game plan quickly, but there is still plenty of room to improve your timing, combos, and Awakening usage.
His Domain Expansion can also completely change the outcome of a fight when the player creates the right opportunity to use it.
S Tier: Extremely Strong Picks
Vessel — Yuji/Sukuna

Vessel offers two very different phases of combat.
Yuji provides an aggressive melee-focused base style, while the Awakening changes the character's threat level and gives access to Sukuna's much more dangerous offensive tools.
The problem is execution. Vessel has a higher skill requirement than characters such as Mahito because getting maximum value from the kit depends heavily on timing and knowing when to commit.
The Honored One — Gojo

Gojo is one of the safest choices for players who want a powerful character without learning an extremely complicated moveset first.
His kit gives him tools for both pulling opponents into his range and pushing them away. He also has mobility and defensive options that make it easier to control the distance of a fight.
That flexibility is particularly useful in chaotic battles where several players are involved.
Gojo's basic mechanics are easy to understand, but strong Gojo players separate themselves through positioning and timing. Predictable use of his abilities becomes much easier for experienced opponents to punish.
Restless Gambler — Hakari

Hakari is a natural choice for players who like staying on the offensive.
His kit favors close-range pressure and rewards players who can maintain momentum after landing an opening. His Awakening adds another major source of pressure and can make him extremely difficult to deal with once the player gets into a favorable sequence.
Star Rage — Yuki

Yuki combines strong offensive pressure with attacks that can make approaching her dangerous.
She works particularly well when the player understands spacing. Instead of blindly chasing opponents, Yuki can force them to approach on unfavorable terms and then capitalize on their movement.
Her main challenge is that some attacks require better timing and positioning than simpler melee characters.
S- Tier: Strong but More Specialized
Puppet Master — Mechamaru

Mechamaru is built around controlling fights from a safer distance.
His puppet-based abilities give him a very different neutral game from the roster's melee-heavy characters. Rather than constantly fighting inside M1 range, a Mechamaru player can create situations where the opponent has to deal with multiple threats.
The trade-off is that poor positioning can leave him vulnerable once an opponent gets close.
A Tier: Reliable Choices With Clear Weaknesses
Head of Hei — Naoya

Naoya's biggest advantage is mobility. His speed allows skilled players to control engagement distance and punish opponents who struggle to track fast movement.
His effectiveness depends heavily on using that mobility intelligently, since predictable approaches can be punished.
Switcher — Todo

Todo is less about overwhelming opponents with raw damage and more about disrupting expectations.
His switching mechanic can completely alter positioning during a fight, creating opportunities that other characters cannot replicate. The same mechanic also makes him harder to use consistently when timing is off.
Aspiring Mangaka — Charles

Charles has a specialized combat style that rewards players who understand how to create openings with his kit.
He is less universally comfortable than the top-tier characters, but players who learn his timing can still get strong results.
Locust Guy

Locust Guy is a more gimmick-focused option whose pressure can catch opponents off guard, but much of the kit is easier to react to once the matchup is familiar.
His overall consistency is lower than the characters above him, making him more dependent on creating the right situations rather than forcing pressure every time.
A- Tier: Salaryman — Nanami

Nanami is a straightforward but precision-focused character.
His attacks reward players who understand spacing and know how to punish an opponent's mistakes. He does not need an elaborate setup to be effective, which makes him relatively easy to understand.
His weakness is that he can struggle to regain momentum after losing control of a fight. Against a defensive opponent, creating the first opening can also take more work than it would with a top-tier pressure character.
B Tier: Defense Attorney — Higuruma

Higuruma is currently a more specialized choice.
His mechanics can produce interesting situations, but his overall consistency is lower than the stronger characters on this list. Players who already understand the game can still make him work, especially when they know exactly how to create opportunities for his kit.
For a new player, there are simply easier characters that provide stronger results with less practice.

Final Thoughts
The current Jujutsu Shenanigans tier list puts the strongest group around Styles that can maintain pressure, control neutral, extend combos, or create major advantages through Awakening. The S+ and S tiers are not built around one single playstyle, which is why both technical and aggressive players can find suitable options.
More importantly, tier placement should not determine every character you play. Jujutsu Shenanigans rewards timing, movement, matchup knowledge, and familiarity with your own moveset. A lower-tier Style can still perform well when the player understands its strengths and the situations it wants to create.
