My JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Golden Spirit tier list ranks the best characters based on their damage, survivability, crowd control, and team utility. Whether you’ve pulled several SSR fighters or are building around more accessible SR and R options, these rankings will help you assemble the best JJBA Golden Spirit team for the current roster.
JoJo's Golden Spirit Tier List TL;DR: Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli and Koichi Hirose are the best damage and control characters in Golden Spirit, Jonathan Joestar and Ermes Costello are the top tanks, while Giorno Giovanna and Tonio Trendy lead the supports. The best overall team is Jonathan, Caesar, Koichi, Joseph Joestar, and Giorno.

Best JoJos Golden Spirit characters are ranked separately as damage dealers, tanks, or supports because each role contributes something different to a team. The evaluations consider overall performance across game modes, consistency, skill synergy, and how much investment or team support each character needs to reach their full potential.
JoJo’s Golden Spirit Character Tier List
A single overall ranking wouldn’t tell the whole story, since damage dealers, frontline characters, and supports are expected to do very different things. Each character is therefore ranked in the role that best matches what they bring to a team. Placements consider performance throughout progression, single-target and AoE potential, consistency, Arena utility, crowd control, survivability, and proven strengths in specific matchups.
Balance note: These placements reflect the final Closed Beta character balance. Launch-day adjustments may change individual rankings.
Golden Spirit Damage and Control Character Tier List
Damage dealers and control characters are ranked by how useful they are against bosses, groups of enemies, and in Arena. Don’t write off a lower-tier character, though - a specific status effect, control skill, or type of damage can make them the better pick for certain fights.

Best Team Comps in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Spirit
My JoJo Golden Spirit Tier List wouldn't be complete without a best team comps list. Golden Spirit teams only have five slots, so every pick needs to support the same game plan. The lineups below cover at least three Fighting Types for RUSH while balancing damage, control, sustain, and the specific setup their main carry needs.
| Team Composition | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Best Overall Bubble Beatdown Jonathan Joestar Tank / Shields Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli Main DPS Koichi Hirose AoE / Control Joseph Joestar Grouping / Amp Giorno Giovanna Heal / Energy | This is the safest five-char core in this JoJo’s Golden Spirit tier list. It's for when you want one team that can walk into almost anything without changing its whole game plan.
Useful swaps: Bring Tonio Trendy over Joseph when heavy debuffs are the real problem. Ermes Costello can replace Jonathan if you want a stronger emergency Shield and more AoE Stun around a tightly packed team. |
| Best Boss Caesar Hypercarry Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli Hypercarry Kenzou Damage Amp / Crit Lisa Lisa Energy Battery Will A. Zeppeli Attack Buff / Energy Giorno Giovanna Heal / Energy | Four characters point at Caesar and say, “You handle the damage.” Fortunately, he is very good at that.
Useful swaps: Replace Will with Jonathan Joestar when survival matters more than the highest possible damage ceiling. Joseph Joestar can replace Kenzou when enemy grouping and transferred AoE damage are more valuable than Crit support. |
| Best Arena Full Lockdown Ermes Costello Tank / Rescue Koichi Hirose AoE / Immobilize Joseph Joestar Pull / Stun Lisa Lisa Dive / Stun Giorno Giovanna Heal / Incapacitate | This comp in my JoJo’s Golden Spirit tier list wins by dragging the enemy formation out of shape and chaining enough control that its carries barely get to play.
Useful swaps: Caesar can replace Lisa Lisa when you already have enough control and need a real damage closer. Use Tonio Trendy over Joseph against debuff-heavy Arena teams, or Ghiaccio over Ermes against ranged-heavy opponents. |
| Best Ranged Zero-Gravity Firing Squad Ghiaccio Tank / Ranged Counter Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli AoE DPS Johngalli A. Single-Target DPS Lang Rangler Ranged Amp / Zone Giorno Giovanna Heal / Energy | Lang Rangler turns one patch of the map into a shooting gallery, and Caesar plus Johngalli A. bring the guns. Well, bubbles and a sniper rifle - but the target gets the idea.
Useful swaps: Use Jonathan Joestar over Ghiaccio against mixed damage. Koichi Hirose can replace Johngalli A. for wave-heavy content, while Hol Horse is the more accessible ranged carry. |
| All SR Budget Bullet Train Santviento Self-Sustain Tank Hol Horse Main DPS Lisa Lisa Energy / Control Lang Rangler Ranged Amp / Speed Tonio Trendy Heal / Cleanse | The final team in our JoJo’s Golden Spirit tier list is the most fun one! Well, kinda. No SSRs, no pity-plan spreadsheet, and no meme picks. This is a legit early-to-midgame team built around making Hol Horse's Ultimate hit as hard and as often as possible.
Useful swaps: Will A. Zeppeli can replace Lang in single-target fights when you want direct Attack Up and another Energy feed for Hol Horse. Joseph Joestar is the better swap when enemy grouping and AoE control matter more than ranged amplification. |
Huh, that was a long read, wasn't it? Have you honestly read all of it? You did? Well, thank you, then! I hope this JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Spirit tier list helps you assemble the perfect team of the best JJBA Golden Spirit characters.
