The crowd on the Train map went silent when Time Stop hit — I remember the pause like a scoreboard flipping. You felt the shift too: one moment you’re controlling space, the next you’re watching an opportunity evaporate. I spent the rest of that session writing notes and testing every move I could so this list wasn’t guesswork.
I’ve played the playtest, tested dozens of matchups, and watched high-skill players bend the game around a handful of stands. Below is my Stand Out stand tier list for the current release, tuned for PVP and PVE priorities and written so you can pick the stands that actually win games.

What is the best stand in Stand Out?
If you want clear answers for PVP and PVE, S-tier stands are where you should start. Star Platinum and The World dominate because Time Stop grants both offense and defense windows that few other stands match. Emperor and Silver Chariot are the other practical choices: Emperor for ranged kiting, Silver Chariot for brittle, burst-heavy duels.
How do I reroll stands?
Rerolling is simple: find another Stand Arrow. You get arrows from Crafting, Bounties, the Train Raid, and the Train Shop on Roblox’s Stand Out page. If you want to speed up roll attempts, follow the community Trello and Discord channels where players share spawn tips and farming routes.
How do I get a stand?
You receive a Stand Arrow after finishing the tutorial, and you can craft or buy more through in-game systems. The beehiiv embed below and the Stand Out Trello often post guide updates and codes that shorten the grind.
At the keyboard after a 3 AM grind I wrote the small notes that separate a win from a loss — Playstyle and Recommendations
I’ll be blunt: practice beats theory. If you’re new, pick an S or A tier stand and learn its counters. If you’re a grinder, experiment with B and C stands—some are hidden powerhouses when paired with a specific sub-ability.
Star Platinum is like a Swiss Army knife for close-range control, and Emperor plays like a chess clock when you’re kiting waves in PVE; use them to cover gaps in your team comp rather than solo-chaining every fight.
In a late-night lobby I watched a heal that swung a duel — How to Get, Reroll and Remove a Stand
How to Get a Stand: You will get a Stand Arrow to awaken your stand after the tutorial. You can also get Stand Arrows via Crafting, Bounties, the Train Raid and the Train Shop.
How to Reroll Stand: To reroll stands you simply need another Stand Arrow.
How to Remove a Stand: You remove stands by eating an Emerald Roka (Or mutated versions) which you can get from planting/Gardening. This fully upgrades your sub-ability but you need one like Hamon or Vampire to remove stands
At a coffee-fueled warmup I mapped counterplay for common matchups — Quick Meta Notes
- Play S-tier to shorten your learning curve in PVP/PVE.
- B-tier stands are high-skill centric—practice combos in private lobbies or the Stand Out test servers.
- Follow Moyens I/O coverage and the official Stand Out Trello for patch notes and balance shifts.
The best stand still depends on how much time you put into it, but S and A tiers give you a faster route to winning matches. B and C stands reward practice; D-tier stands are fine for roleplay or fun, but they’ll cost you games. Ready to pick a stand and start shaping the meta?
