Classes in Jujutsu Lineage shape your entire combat style. While techniques decide your abilities, your class determines how you move, combo, and control fights. Some classes feel smooth and aggressive, while others depend heavily on your technique or weapon choice to truly shine.
This tier list reflects real in-game performance based on endgame weapons, combo flow, and how consistently each class performs in PvP.
S Tier — Top Performing Classes
These classes consistently dominate fights because they offer strong pressure, smooth combos, and reliable damage output.
Bastion
Bastion feels extremely powerful in actual gameplay because of how straightforward and impactful its combat flow is. The class revolves around heavy weapons, and every hit feels meaningful. Once you get comfortable with its timing, it becomes very easy to maintain pressure on enemies.
It also pairs naturally with almost any technique, which makes it one of the most versatile classes for both new and experienced players.
Sword Saint
Sword Saint stands out because of how fluid its combat feels. It has one of the smoothest attack rhythms in the game, allowing players to chain hits naturally without awkward pauses.
Once you unlock its endgame weapon, the class becomes especially dangerous, as it can maintain constant offensive pressure while still feeling very responsive.
A Tier
These classes perform very well but usually depend more on player skill, build choices, or specific techniques.
Shur
Shur is known for its strong late-game potential. Once you reach its full build, the class feels extremely rewarding to play, especially for players who enjoy consistent combo flow.
It’s a class that becomes more impressive the more experienced you get with it.
Stone Breaker
Stone Breaker revolves around heavy weapon gameplay. It feels slower than most classes, but when paired with strong techniques, it becomes very effective at controlling fights.
Its performance depends heavily on your build, which is why it sits in A tier rather than higher.
Sugi
This class is relatively new and still evolving. Even in its current state, it already shows strong combo potential and works well with many techniques. As updates continue, it has clear potential to rise further in the rankings.
B Tier
These classes are still very playable, but they often require more effort or specific setups to match stronger options.
Kagayari
Kagayari offers some interesting combat mechanics, but it relies heavily on player skill. Against experienced opponents, its patterns can become predictable, which limits its overall effectiveness.
Sentinel
Sentinel recently received buffs, making it much more usable than before. Its combat style feels structured and steady, though it still doesn’t match the consistency of higher-tier classes.
Vigilante
Vigilante performs well in aggressive playstyles. It has strong combo potential and works especially well when paired with powerful techniques.
However, it requires active play and good timing to truly shine.
C Tier
These classes currently feel less impactful compared to others.
Demon
Demon used to perform much better, but after balance changes, it lost key tools that supported its combat flow. While still playable, it feels much less effective in high-level fights.
Judicator
Judicator experienced heavy nerfs, which significantly reduced its dominance. It still has some useful abilities, but it no longer controls fights the way it once did.
Duelist
Duelist can be effective in certain situations, especially against less experienced opponents. However, once players learn its patterns, it becomes easier to counter.
Dagger Class Standout – Shade
Shade deserves special mention because of how unique its playstyle feels. It focuses heavily on speed and surprise attacks, allowing players to catch opponents off guard. It’s especially appealing to players who enjoy fast, reactive combat.
Right now, the class balance in Jujutsu Lineage feels heavily influenced by weapon synergy and technique pairing rather than raw class design alone. Some classes can jump tiers instantly depending on the technique you combine them with.
What makes the system interesting is that even mid-tier classes can become extremely strong in the right hands, which keeps the meta dynamic rather than predictable.
If you want the safest and most reliable options, Bastion and Sword Saint are currently the strongest choices. For players who enjoy experimenting and mastering complex mechanics, classes like Shur and Stone Breaker offer rewarding gameplay.
Ultimately, your success will depend just as much on your technique choice and combat skill as on the class itself.
