The latest Jump Showdown update is one of the biggest content drops so far. It introduces JoJo Stands, multiple new combat items, and a large batch of new emotes, including limited ones with special effects. This guide breaks everything down clearly so players know what’s new, how it works, and what’s actually worth using.
JoJo Stands Added (Stand Arrow System)
The biggest addition in this update is the Stand Arrow item. Using it grants a random JoJo Stand with its own abilities and animations. Some stands have full kits, while others are more limited.
Confirmed Stands You Can Get
Star Platinum
This is the most complete and powerful stand currently available.
- M1 Barrage attacks
- Heavy Barrage
- Star Finger ability
- Ultimate with full Za Warudo (time stop) animation
This stand clearly received the most development and is the best possible roll from the Stand Arrow.
Anubis
Functions almost like a full character rather than a single skill.
- Fast M1 combos
- Aggressive melee-focused playstyle
- Strong for close-range fights
King Crimson
- Counter-based ability
- Full cutscene activation
- Excellent for punishing aggressive players
Echoes
- Very limited moveset
- Mostly utility-focused
- Less developed compared to Star Platinum or Anubis
The Hand (Za Hando)
- Single main ability
- Pulls enemies toward you
- Short-to-medium range utility
Stand Arrow results are random, and some stands appear far more frequently than others. Star Platinum is rare but clearly the best outcome.
New Items Added in This Update
Stand Arrow
- Grants a random JoJo Stand
- Each Stand comes with unique animations and abilities
- Best item in the update for combat variety
Magic Rod (Megumin Staff)
- Fires Megumin-style explosion attack
- Extremely high visual impact
- Long startup time
- Can cause FPS drops on weaker devices
This item is flashy and powerful, but not ideal for fast-paced PvP due to its startup delay.
Molly Hammer
- Obtained by completing Molly’s Quest at the Arcade
- Heavy-hitting melee weapon
- Full M1 animation chain
- Feels more like a premium cosmetic-combat hybrid item
The Molly Hammer is more about style and impact than raw efficiency, but it’s still a strong pickup.
New Emotes Overview
This update adds 14 new emotes, including 2 limited-time emotes.
Regular Emotes
Some of the notable additions include:
- Shield Bash
- Rez (Chainsaw Man reference)
- Delay Dance
- Wave
- Shy
- Cower
- Jumping Jacks
- Default Dance
Most regular emotes are cosmetic and fun-focused, with music references and looping animations.
Limited Emotes (Special Effects)
Black Hole Spell
- Snap-based activation
- Large explosion visual
- Grants a dark aura effect
- Premium visual quality
Promise the Ring
- Clean animation
- Ring-focused visual effect
- Unique aura
- Costs Robux
Limited emotes are more expensive but stand out due to aura effects, which regular emotes don’t have.
Donation Emote – “Please Donate”
This emote introduces a new mechanic:
- Donating different amounts triggers different effects
- Higher donations may cause special events or animations
- Designed for social interaction and flexing
Exact effects depend on donation amount, and some triggers are still undiscovered.
Best Combat Item: Stand Arrow (Star Platinum)
Best Visual Item: Magic Rod
Best Aura Emote: Black Hole Spell
Best Quest Reward: Molly Hammer
If you only grind for one thing from this update, the Stand Arrow is easily the top priority.
This update pushed Jump Showdown closer to a full anime crossover sandbox. JoJo Stands are not just cosmetic additions; they fundamentally change combat flow, especially with high-tier stands like Star Platinum and King Crimson.
