Not sure what the best Gear is in Roblox Cursed Gear? We've got you covered! Gears are the core class system in this Roblox Action RPG inspired by the Jujutsu Kaisen anime series and the NeiR video game series. Your core skill set and the whole build will be defined by your Gear, and that's why you need to choose carefully. To help you make that decision, we've made the ultimate Cursed Gear Gears Tier List.
Cursed Gear Gears Tier List - Best Classes Ranked
In Roblox Cursed Gear, Gears serve as the game’s core class and skill tree system. They define your primary combat style by granting a unique set of active skills and passive abilities that can be upgraded over time. As such, you can imagine that choosing the right Gear is essential for dominating the meta.
There are currently 9 Gears avilable in the game (Usurper, Ravager, Projector, Executioner, Manipulator, Hydra, Interceptor, Sensor, and Constructor), each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Below, we ranked them all based on the current release meta.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This list is still a work in progress. It is based on currently available data and pre-release testing, so some values and effects may change. We will keep a close eye on balance updates and update the article accordingly.

How to Level Up Gears
To unlock the full potential of your Gear, you should level it up as quickly as possible. Leveling your Gear unlocks major upgrades to both passive and active abilities, typically at the [5+], [7+], [8+], and [10] thresholds. At these levels, skills gain additional properties, making them key milestones where an ability’s power spikes significantly. Here's how to level up your Gears in Cursed Gear:
- Gears are leveled up (upgraded) by accumulating Gear EXP.
- Items that increase your Gear EXP are called Gear Orbs.
- A Gear Orb can be obtained as a random loot drop during expeditions. You can find them in caches, in the open-world environment, as mission rewards, or from defeated enemies.
- Once you find a Gear Orb, using it will increase your Gear EXP and consume the Orb, as it is a one-time item.
In addition to Gear Orbs, you can also upgrade a specific skill up to Level 5 by purchasing a Skill Upgrade for 200 Heian Rating (HR) from the Kogane NPC. Kogane operates the Neo Shibuya Black Market. Finally, one very important thing to mention is Augment Orbs, which change how a Gear skill functions. They contain a random augment to one skill of several Gears available.
How to Swap Gears in Cursed Gear
If you want to change your current Gear and adjust your builds, you will need to use the Auto-Doc Station. This is special equipment found inside your PMC (Private Military Company) Base HQ. If you want to swap your Gear, shuffle your attributes, or recover from an expedition, you interact with the Auto-Doc.
The PMC serves as the headquarters for your player-made faction. It becomes available at Grade 4 in Neo Shibuya, at which point it also becomes your default spawn point. This will be your central hub for many gameplay aspects, including tweaks, build adjustments, and preparation.
It’s important to note that your Gear Level does not transfer when switching to a new Gear. Every new Gear starts at Level 1, regardless of the level of your previously equipped Gear (even if it was Level 10, for example).

Heavenly Restriction Gear Constraints
If you happen to be incredibly lucky and roll a 1% Heavenly Restriction Clan trait, you'll open up a distinctly different playstyle with a bunch of unique mechanics and buffs. However, this also comes with a trade-off: you are permanently locked out of 5 of the 9 Gears, because they require Cursed Energy. These are:
- Constructor
- Hydra
- Interceptor
- Manipulator
- Sensor
Players with Heavenly Restriction can use the remaining four Gears but are locked out of all Cursed Techniques. This is because Gears define your physical combat foundation, while Techniques act as a Cursed Energy-based overlay. As a result, these players are limited to four Gears - Executioner, Projector, Ravager, and Usurper - since the others rely on Cursed Energy. For more details, check out our dedicated Cursed Gear Heavenly Restriction guide.
Best Stat for Every Gear in Cursed Gear
Gear skills scale with specific attributes. Executioner scales with Physicality, while Manipulator, Sensor, Constructor, and Projector scale with Output. Interceptor is a hybrid that scales with both Output and Physicality. Usurper uniquely scales with Output and Efficiency, making stamina management a core part of its build.
Dexterity increases movement speed for all Gears, but is especially valuable for rushdown playstyles like Projector. Here’s a complete breakdown of the best stats for every Gear:
- Usurper: Efficiency + Output
- Projector: Output + Dexterity
- Executioner: Physicality + Awareness
- Interceptor: Output + Physicality
- Manipulator: Output + Efficiency
- Sensor: Output + Awareness
- Constructor: Output + Efficiency
- Ravager: Awareness + Physicality
- Hydra: Output + Efficiency
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Usurper stands out as the top PvP Gear, with unmatched mixup potential, combo resets via Wavedash, and strong tools like Guard Crush and Pinpoint that make it extremely hard to outplay in 1v1.
Ravager is an excellent choice for Expeditions. Its TRASH skill turns enemies into unblockable projectiles, making it highly effective for clearing dense veils during extraction. On top of that, Divergent Step grants on-demand invincibility frames (iframes), significantly improving survivability against unpredictable AI waves.
Interceptor excels as a defensive, counter-focused Gear with Predator’s Guard, but Ravager is often favored for “defensive insurance,” as Divergent Step grants iframes during Divergent Flame, making it better for avoiding high-damage skills entirely.
In my opinion, Usurper is the best offensive Gear because its kit is designed entirely around maintaining pressure and creating "mixups." With the ability to reset M1 combo strings using Windswept God Fist and bypass blocks with Domination, it allows a skilled player to deal continuous, heavy damage that most opponents cannot escape.
No, you only get experience for the gear you are currently using.
You'll keep Gear Level for the Gear you've leveled up, but your new Gear will start fresh from Level 1. Gear EXP is not shared between different Gears - they all level up independently.
You can upgrade Gear skills by leveling up a specific Gear with Gear Orbs (random loot) or by purchasing upgrades at the Black Market.
Heavenly Restriction players are restricted to four Gears - Executioner, Projector, Ravager, and Usurper.
Augment Orbs modify how a Gear skill functions. Each one contains a random augment for a skill across several different Gears.
With that said, our ultimate Cursed Gear Gears Tier List comes to an end.
