Death Ball Tier List: Best Champions Ranked
Which champion should you actually main?
In Death Ball, a fast deflection PvP game with around 8,500 players at once, your champion decides your abilities and your whole playstyle. Picking the right one, and unlocking it with Gems, is what climbs the ladder.
This guide ranks every current champion, lists what each one does and costs, and is upfront about one thing: most Death Ball tier lists online are badly out of date.

The Quick Answer
The best champion is Kameki, with lethal Faceoff-focused abilities. Keilo and Saito round out S-tier. Saito is the smart first pick at just 5,000 Gems, and it is genuinely top-tier.
Why Most Death Ball Tier Lists Are Wrong
Here is the problem. The most-linked Death Ball tier list online was last updated in November 2023, over two and a half years ago, and it ranks only six champions.
Since then the game has roughly doubled its roster. Champions like Keilo, Koju, Wu, Senshu, Torokai and the brand-new Mikasa do not appear on those lists at all. This page ranks the full current roster, so you are not building around a champion pool from three years ago.
Death Ball Champion Tier List
Every current champion, ranked. Death Ball rewards timing, so a mastered B-tier can beat a fumbled S-tier, but these are the ceilings.
| Tier | Champions | Why they rank here |
|---|---|---|
| S | Kameki, Keilo, Saito | The best champions in the game. Kameki has lethal, Faceoff-focused abilities, and Keilo can auto-deflect, freeze the ball, and turn untraceable. |
| A | Koju, Gazo, Wu | Excellent, flexible picks. Koju creates energy walls and even shoots the ball from a gun, while Gazo swings between offense and defense. |
| B | Foxuro, Lufus, Senshu, Torokai | Solid and dependable. Foxuro is the most beginner-friendly champion, and Torokai adds collidable ice that reshapes the arena. |
| C | Jiro, Gemtoki | Situational. Gemtoki is built for farming resources more than for winning duels. |
| New | Mikasa | The newest champion, added recently. Too fresh for a settled ranking, but her showcase kit looks strong. We will place her once the meta agrees. |
Every Champion, What They Do and Cost
The full roster with each champion's role and unlock, so you know exactly what you are saving Gems for.
| Champion | Tier | Unlock | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kameki | S | Level rewards | Each ability is lethal and built to win the Faceoff. The consensus best champion. |
| Keilo | S | 25,000 Gems | Auto-deflects the ball, can freeze it, and turns untraceable (outside Faceoff). A control monster. |
| Saito | S | 5,000 Gems (or a free start) | Mobile, trap-setting, and several skills recharge fast enough to spam. Was top-tier before Kameki. |
| Koju | A | Gems | Creates energy walls, shoots the ball from a gun, leaps far, and pulls the ball toward himself. |
| Gazo | A | Gems | Versatile abilities that work on both defense and offense. |
| Wu | A | Gems | A strong, flexible champion missing from most older tier lists. |
| Foxuro | B | Gems | Beginner-friendly and straightforward, though predictable against experienced players. |
| Lufus | B | Gems | A reliable mid-tier pick with a low-level ability unlock. |
| Senshu | B | Gems | Solid utility that most stale tier lists never added. |
| Torokai | B | Gems | Ice abilities that create collidable objects to block and redirect the ball. |
| Jiro | C | Gems | Situational abilities unlocked at higher levels. |
| Gemtoki | C | Gems | Built around farming resources rather than combat effectiveness. |
| Mikasa | New | Recently added | The game's newest champion, too fresh to rank with confidence yet. |
Best Champion for Every Goal
| Your goal | Champion | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Best champion overall | Kameki | Lethal, Faceoff-focused abilities make it the consensus top pick. |
| Best control champion | Keilo | Auto-deflect, freeze, and untraceable is the strongest control kit in the game. |
| Best starter | Saito | Only 5,000 Gems, or free at the start, and genuinely top-tier. |
| Best for beginners | Foxuro | Straightforward mechanics while you learn to deflect. |
| Best for farming Gems | Gemtoki | Built to farm resources, so it pays for your next champion. |
| Newest to try | Mikasa | Recently added, and worth testing before the meta locks in. |
Death Ball keeps adding champions (Mikasa is the newest), and each one shifts the meta. Because most other tier lists are years stale, we keep this one current. Grab free rewards on the Death Ball codes page to unlock champions faster.
Tips
- Start with Saito. At 5,000 Gems it is the cheapest S-tier champion in the game.
- Do not trust a tier list that only shows six champions. The roster has doubled since 2023.
- Death Ball is about deflection timing, so pick a champion whose ability window you can actually hit.
- Grab free rewards from the Death Ball codes page.
