Updated on February 03, 2026: Added Hakari and adjusted tier list.

I’m ranking all Swords, Combat Specs, Fruits, Races, and Traits in Rogue Piece, helping you forge the ultimate build. This tier list provides not just rankings, but essential equipment tips for every category and guidance on acquisition. Here’s my ultimate early-mid-late PVP/PVE Rogue Piece tier list for everything in the game.

Rogue Piece Combat Spec and Fruit Tier List

Both Combat Specs and Fruits scale with the Power stat in Rogue Piece (RIP Strength stat). Generally, Combat Specs are on par with swords, while Fruits tend to lag behind, with Light—the strongest fruit—being only comparable to B-Tier swords (See above). Let’s break them down one by one.

Spec & Fruit Tip: Combine these with Power-enhancing outfits like Aizen’s Outfit, Akaza Beads, Garou’s Outfit, Shadow Cloak, and the Demon race for maximum damage output. Also, grab the Soul Spirit Relic, a rare drop from Chests, for an extra 20% damage enhancement.

Gojo & SukunaShibuya Versions	• Power creep is real in Rogue Piece, with these specs significantly outclassing their predecessors• They present a DPS powerhouse when equipped with Power-enhancing gear and Ancient Traits.

Hakari	• With rapid, high-damage AOE attacks, Hakari excels in PVP and PVE alike; its moves are rapid yet devastating. The F move offers over 30 seconds of iFrames, enhancing your defensive strategy. Even if it’s not the highest DPS, its utility is unmatched, providing a strong defense option for any build	Rogue TownBuy from Hakari’s Teacher. Use materials from the Hakari boss. To spawn the boss, get Gambler Spirit from the Arcade Gacha. Then you can summon Hakari boss at Rogue Town. The Hakari combat spec also drops from the Arcane Gacha.
Naoya	• While not as powerful as Shibuya’s newer specs, Naoya maintains a top 5 DPS ranking among combat specs. Swift M1 attacks and strong mobility make it a solid choice for PVP, while its X move may be slower but delivers substantial damage with cut-scenes from C and V moves	Rate-Up BannerObtain from the banner as a 1% drop chance when it’s Naoya’s banner.
Jin Mori	• With impressive damage output and solid AOE skills, Jin Mori stands out among the top performers. His exceptional air mobility makes the spec competitive against Shadow and Qin Shi, while the Heaven’s Equal title is key to boosting your damage by an additional 20%	Abyss HillPurchase from Jin Mori Teacher with materials dropped from Jin Mori, Heaven’s Equal Boss on Abyss Hill.
	• Renowned for high DPS and utility, Qin Shi boasts diverse moves. It can achieve superior sustained DPS, while Jin Mori excels in burst damage. The King of All Beginnings title further elevates your capability, providing a 20% damage boost during Ragnarok Dungeon encounters	Throne IsleQin Shi Teacher Quest requires 10 Dungeon Tokens, 1 Sword of Goujian, 10 Alvitr’s Fragments; at least Diamond Rank to accept the quest.
Todoroki	• With exceptional combo potential, Todoroki thrives in PVP but remains relevant in PVE. His ability to chain moves effectively means you’ll benefit from high DPS without requiring big burst moves	Throne IslandToken Exchange.
Kaneki	• Currently a pinnacle among combat specs, Kaneki boasts the fastest M1s that deal substantial damage. While Z is more PVE-oriented, X and C provide efficient AOE damage suitable for both realms. The One Eyed King title can amplify your damage by 20%	Sandora IslandBuy from Kaneki Teacher using materials farmed from Kaneki Boss. Spawn Kaneki boss using Kaneki’s Blood.

S-Tier Specs & Fruits

Shadow	• With easy-to-hit moves that deliver hefty damage, Shadow remains a top contender. Both Z and C are quick—perfect for PVP, while V’s AOE damage is a game changer. Despite being overshadowed by new specs, it’s still a solid choice	Rogue TownBuy from Shadow Teacher: 1x Core of Shadow, 2x Shadow Eye, 1x Atomic Core, 100x Black Slime—all drops from the Shadow boss on Abyss Hill.
One For All	• This spec offers good DPS but tends to be slower in PVP scenarios. It excels in PVE, particularly when the V move is active, enhancing your overall damage output. I’m curious whether the Shigaraki still holds up in PVP	Rogue TownOne For All Teacher NPC; finish all quests to get it. Start the quests with 10,000 Gems and Diamond+ Rank.
Gojo	• While it doesn’t hit as hard as Garou, Gojo’s stunning ability and iFrames from domain expansion make it a PVP favorite. It’s also effective in PVE and great for completing Garou quests	Jujutsu HighschoolGet from Gojo NPC with materials from the Gojo Boss. Requires The Honored One trait.
Aizen	• Aizen offers impressive damage with long cooldowns. While he can’t match Sukuna’s DPS, his burst capacity wins in PVE and boss encounters. His teleporting move set grants unique mobility compared to other specs. In terms of utilities, Gojo still outshines	HuecomundoAizen Teacher.

A-Tier Specs & Fruits

Garou	• This character features rapid M1s alongside multi-hit attacks, yielding some of the highest DPS in PVP and PVE. With excellent utility through its i-Frames, Garou outperforms most rivals. For a damage boost, secure the Hero Hunter Title	Glacier IsleGet Suiryu from Garou NPC. Complete quest, defeat 25 Diamond Rank players, punch 2500 times with Suiryu. Farm Silver Fang Boss for Book of Mastery.
Shigaraki	• A solid option with excellent damage but slow M1s. Getting your target with C can trip you up, but if you can achieve that burst damage, the payoff is substantial. In terms of aoe, V is a strong ability, making it great for burst periods	Rogue TownShigaraki NPC. Farm three Shigaraki Boss resources to buy it. Spawn the boss using Darkness Spirit.
Sukuna	• While he may lack the burst power of others, Sukuna maintains superior combos and range with fast abilities and lower cooldowns. This character offers solid AOE damage for PVE and surprisingly decent moves for PVP	Windmill VillageSukuna Teacher on a hill.
Akaza	• Akaza has impressive M1s and damage-dealing moves that recharge quickly, but keep in mind his limited range. Underestimating this character may result in unexpected surprises during fights	Throne IsleAkaza Teacher.

B-Tier Specs & Fruits

Light	• This Fruit/Power offers excellent DPS and mobility, yet doesn’t match the raw power of Combat Specs and Swords. You’ll find its speed and utility invaluable, making it a solid backup in your loadout	Rogue TownFruit Gacha NPC (2% chance to drop).

C-Tier Specs & Fruits

Blood	• While not as potent as Light, it stands strong for PVE farming. Its damage potential is better than Gravity, despite having slower abilities	Rogue TownFruit Gacha NPC (5% chance to drop).
Sandevistan	• Considered the weakest combat spec, it closely resembles Tanjiro’s Sword but proves less effective in endgame content	Rogue TownDavid NPC at the back of the island near the water.

D-Tier Specs & Fruits

Quake	• Falls short compared to Bomb; while C offers some AOE for farming, the cooldown is prohibitively high. Focus on Blood or Light instead	Rogue TownFruit Gacha NPC (30% chance to drop).
Bomb	• Simply don’t use this. Harvest better Fruits or Combat Specs and focus on building Power with the best available options	Rogue TownFruit Gacha NPC (50% chance to drop).

Rogue Piece Sword Tier List

This sword tier list emphasizes both move efficiency for PVE and PVP encounters, evaluating DPS alongside combat versatility. While higher-tier swords dominate in every category, B-Tier options serve specific purposes. It’s important to remember that lower-tier swords like Wado or Gryphon are valuable in PVE grinding. Meanwhile, some Epic and Rare swords like Metal Bat and Tanjiro feature remarkable DPS, though their moves feel slow and cumbersome in chaotic scenarios. Let’s evaluate each sword individually below.

Swords Tip: Pair swords with Sword-boosting outfits like Reaper Clothes, Yuta’s Outfit, Vampire Suit, Butterfly, Herta, Toji Outfit, Arrancar race for maximum Sword stat boost, and their respective titles that amplify sword performance. The Broken Edge Relic and Blessed Stone from the Gojo boss can enhance sword damage.

S-Tier Swords

Inverted Spear of Heaven	• Offers the best DPS, though the cumbersome unlocking process makes it challenging.

Forge IsleObtain from Inverted Spear of Heaven Seller post-requirements.F MoveComplete Chain of Thousand Mile Questline.
Kusanagi	• Outclassing most swords, Kusanagi excels in PVP and demonstrates impressive DPS across abilities. While cutscene durations vary, combining it with titles like The Last Uchina boosts your performance.	Konoha Village IslandAvailable from Kusanagi Seller NPC via materials from Sasuke boss. Must kill 25 Konoha’s Head Ninja before summoning Sasuke.

A-Tier Swords

Kafka’s Katana	• Quick M1s combined with a damage potential exceeding 4 million make it a formidable weapon. However, its difficult acquisition and Venuzdonoa’s ease of use hold it back a bit in comparison.	Xmas IslandComplete Kafka’s Katana Seller’s Quest.
Yuta’s Katana	• Requires grinding due to low drop rates; one of the best Legendary swords. Flawless M1s combined with powerful cutscenes yield high overall damage potential.	Jujutsu HighschoolGet Spiritual Katana from Yuta, followed by grinding the Yuta Boss for Rika’s Ring.
Dual Daggers	• While lacking in raw DPS, they shine in PVP due to their agility, delivering remarkable burst damage potential. Fast M1s solidify their standing in battles.	Rogue TownDual Dagger Seller.

B-Tier Swords

Tensa Zangetsu	• With substantial updates, it performs adequately but still holds back in M1 speed. While C and V moves deliver powerful hits, overall versatility remains limited	HuecomundoFrom the Tensa Zangetsu Seller.

Herta’s Hammer	• Capable of 3 to 4 million damage on bosses, but lacks in speed, posing challenges in player encounters. Effective in controlling boss fights if you land your moves accordingly.	Xmas IslandPurchasable at the Snowflake Exchange NPC.

Zangetsu	• Offers greater movability and AOE damage efficiency, but its speed is lacking, so it’s primarily a tool for acquiring Tensa Zangetsu.	Rogue TownZangetsu Gacha NPC.

Rogue Piece Race Tier List

The best race in Rogue Piece profoundly enhances your DPS and overall gameplay. Remember to utilize Race Rerolls and items for optimal selections like Muzan’s Blood for the Demon race. S-Tier races provide distinct advantages for either Sword or Power builds. A-Tiers serve as good substitutes, while B-Tier picks can have situational utility. C-Tier races are beginner-friendly choices, though D-Tier selections offer minimal value.

How to Get Race Rerolls: Earn these by using Codes, opening Chests, or via Fishing. A Fishing rod is available from the NPC at the starting island’s docks, making it a reliable method to farm Race Rerolls.
