Apart from Style, the other most vital criterion that will determine your playstyle and strategy in Haikyuu Legends is the type of ability you choose for your character. Since these are newly introduced features, many players, especially beginners, may struggle to distinguish between good and bad ones due to their limited gameplay hours. So, to help these players out, here is the Volleyball Legends Ability Tier List ranking out all the abilities from best to worst.
All Abilities Ranked in Volleyball Legends
The following list is divided into tiers, starting from S and progressing to D tier, with S-Tier abilities being the best and D the worst in the game. Read through all the points and understand why a particular ability belongs to that Volleyball Legends ability tier in the game.
| Tier List | Ability Name |
|---|---|
| S | Magnetic Pull, Minus Tempo, Shield Breaker, Divine Strength |
| A | Curve Spike, Zero Gravity Set, Moonball, Boom Jump |
| B | Redirection Jump, Super Sprint |
| C | Steel Block, Rolling Thunder |
| D | Team Spirit |
S- Tier
- Magnetic Pull (Secret): The Magnetic Pull is a game-changing ability in Volleyball Legends that allows users to pull the ball towards themselves from a short distance (10 Studs). This is so overpowered that you can literally bamboozle/confuse your enemies while spiking the ball, allowing you to score points easily. Additionally, the skill is effortless to execute, as all you have to learn is the timing of the ability.
- Minus Tempo (Secret): The secret Minus Tempo is the ability in the game, as you can easily do a steady fast set towards the spiker, allowing you to shoot the ball very quickly and in an unpredictable manner to get points very easily. There is nothing better than this, and it should be your priority if you want to dominate pro servers.
- Shield Breaker(Secret): Similar to Minus Tempo, the Shield Breaker is another top-tier secret ability that allows users to break through blocks, jumpsets, and spikes. Additionally, the ball slows down after hitting the first blocker, allowing the second blocker to interact with it if they are near it.
- Divine Strength(Godly): The Divine Strength is a very powerful ability in Volleyball Legends that increases your Spike Power by 30% for a total of 15 Seconds. This is ample time for any player to use this ability and score easy points for their time. Also, the Spike Power is so powerful that only a handful of defensive styles can counter it.
A- Tier
- Curve Spike (Legendary): This ability allows you to take tons of points as you can easily change the direction of the ball mid-air while smashing, farming free points every few minutes during your game. While it is fantastic, it has a learning curve, which is why I have placed it in A-Tier.
- Zero Gravity Set (Rare): The Zero Gravity set is like a toned-down version of the Minus Tempo set, where your set will automatically line up for a perfect spike. This is a game-changing ability that should be in your loadout if you're unable to obtain the secret one.
- Moonball (Legendary): This is a good ability for players who set their gameplay as your next bump will simply move past the enemy spikers for a free point. As usual, you need to place yourself correctly to make use of this ability.
- Boom Jump (Rare): As the name suggests, this ability allows you to jump super high, blocking all the shots while defending. It is much simpler to use and execute, making it extremely beginner-friendly.
B- Tier
- Redirection Jumps (Godly): This ability works very similarly to the Curve Spike. Instead of the ball moving in the direction of tilt, you adjust your jump direction to shoot at a desired height and place. This is good but not as effective as the Curve Spike.
- Super Sprint (Common): Indicative of its name, the Super Sprint ability increases your speed for a short duration. It is somewhat helpful in blocking fast smashes and reaching balls that are out of bounds during defensive halves. But, when it comes to hitting smashes, it is not very helpful.
C- Tier
- Steel Block (Common): I loved using this ability as your block to push it toward getting a free point. The implementation takes time, and it is very situational, which makes this ability not that useful. But, if you are playing with friends and in a coordinated environment, you can make this work.
- Rolling Thunder (Common): This ability allows you to perform a boosted dive that covers a lot of distance in a short time. It is only somewhat helpful in public matches where your team is not complete and you need to cover spaces to defend balls.
D- Tier
- Team Spirit (Common): A very useless ability that increases the speed of your teammates for a short duration. Though on paper, it sounds good, practically, it makes a massive difference during gameplay as each player has a different role.
How to get abilities in Volleyball Legends
Similar to Styles, the abilities are also acquired through spinning in Haikyuu Legends. This means you have to pay either the regular spins or lucky spins to get a random ability. Yes, you read it right: the skills obtained from spinning are entirely random, and you can pick or choose a particular ability from a list. So, you have to keep rolling and spending more spin coins until you get your desired ability in the game. You can get Haikyuu Legends Spins using Robux or get some free Spins using our Haikyuu Legends codes.
