Jujutsu Zero Cursed Technique Tier List [BETA]

Limitless is currently the only CT with a Domain Expansion.

You get Cursed Techniques in Jujutsu Zero by clicking on the star icon in the top left and spinning for them using Lumens. I’ll talk about the best Cursed Techniques below and rank them individually as well as show you how to farm Lumens/Mastery for them. Here’s my Jujutsu Zero Cursed Technique tier list and guide.

Jujutsu Zero Technique Tier List

My ranking criteria for this Jujutsu Zero Cursed Technique tier list was overall DPS for PVP and PVE Raids/Grinding but also the number of moves and whether a Technique had a Domain Expansion. Currently, only Limitless has a Domain Expansion though this might change once Shrine and Disaster Flames might get DEs in future updates. I’ll update the tier list when new CTs or DEs are added. For now, check out individual ranking reasons below.

Tier Breakdowns:

S-Tier: The best DPS for Raids, PVP and PVE grinding.

A-Tier: Excels in both PVP and Raids but S-Tiers are better overall.

B-Tier: Great alternatives for PVP and Easy Raids or excellent secondary CTs.

C-Tier: Underpowered but can be used as a secondary CT for beginners.

D-Tier: Never use.

Weapons VS CTs: The top-tier Cursed Techniques are in general more powerful than Weapons.

Best Skill Tree for CTs: The best skill tree to prioritize (90%) is Offense for the ATK nodes since it boosts all damage and then Vitality as a secondary for HP/Damage reduction in Raids. Once you can reliably survive Easy and Medium Raids, you can put points into Cursed Energy/Cooldowns too. Note that Disaster Flames is S-Tier with a full Crit rate and Crit damage skill tree.

S-Tier Cursed Techniques

S-TierRanking Reasons

Shrine
Special Grade
• While Shrine doesn’t have a Domain Expansion it can potentially deal more damage with a full Crit build and has safer moves for Raids
• Cleave has great range and is fast for Raids while Dismantle is good for quick damage combo extend in all modes
• Web Slam is a great AOE move for PVE farming
• Fuga is amazing for Raids to deal damage from range which is important for bosses when you’re low and want to kite
• Overall, Shrine’s moves are faster and easier to use in Raids and can potentially deal more damage than Limitless with a Offense tree Crit damage build

Limitless
Special Grade

You don’t need Gojo Clan for Limitless
• Currently the only CT with a Domain Expansion which you get from the Domain Fragment dropped from Raid Chest rewards
(You have to have Limitless Mastery 100 then just buy it in the Technique menu)
• The Domain Expansion stuns NPCs and slows players which gives it an edge over Shrine in terms of CC and utility
• As for base skills, Reversal Red is the best base skill here since it’s a fast AOE burst that’s good for Raids, PVE farming and PVP as a combo extender
• Lapse Blue isn’t the best for Raids since it’s a slow channel but is great for PVE farming and as an AOE for 1v1 PVP
• Maximum Blue is a bit slow for Raids as well but is great for PVP and PVE farming
• Lastly Hollow Purple is an amazing burst tool for Raids and all other modes with great range, AOE and damage
• Overall Limitless has more utility across PVE and PVP than Shrine and Disaster Flame due to the Domain Expansion so I put it high but Shrine and DF can outdamage it with a Crit build

A-Tier Cursed Techniques

A-TierRanking Reasons

Disaster Flames
Special Grade
• Overall it’s a pure DPS moveset that’s A-Tier on its own due to a lack of utility and combos but can be S-Tier with a full Offense tree crit damage build
• Excellent Raid damage plus Molten Ray is easy to land constantly from range for safe DPS
• Flame Fields is a fast AOE that’s great for all modes and especially PVP
• Meteor Smash is really difficult to land in PVP since it has a start-up but works great for Raids and PVE
• Maximum Meteor doesn’t have the range that Shrine and Limitless ultimates have but it deals a ton of damage and it’s easier to land in PVP

Blood Manipulation
Grade 1
• Blood Manipulation can deal a lot more damage than Star Rage but the moves are harder to use
• Blood Whip deals really good damage but it’s a melee skill with a long start-up that leaves you exposed so it’s high risk high reward
• Blood Rain is much better and is overall a quick AOE damage skill with good range
• Blood Orbs also deal great damage at a safe distance with good range but you have to channel them in place and you cannot move so they’re not the best for PVP
• That said, the best improvement that makes Blood Manipulation really good is Piercing Blood which pushes it almost to S-Tier
• Overall this is a great Raid and PVE moveset even though it’s harder to play in PVP

Star Rage
Grade 1
• While it doesn’t deal as much damage as S-Tiers, Blood Manipulation and Disaster Flames, Star Rage is still really good for Raids
• This is because Bullet, Punch and Black Hole all have great DPS with a lot of range so that you can damage bosses from a safe distance on Hard/Nightmare and kite them
• You can even use Black Hole while air-borne during retreats
• All three of these skills are also great in PVP if you’re getting ganked so that you can output damage while retreating
• Use Star Rage if you’re struggling on Raids as a safe DPS option that can be better than S and SSS-Tiers based on your playstyle

B-Tier Cursed Techniques

B-TierRanking Reasons

Ratio
Grade 2
• While Ratio doesn’t deal as much damage as A and S-Tiers it’s really good for PVP and Raids as a second CT to bring
• This is because Fraction comes out fast for some AOE damage and Dividing Lunge is great mobility with some decent damage on top
• These two are really great moves for PVP since they’re fast and have great hitboxes
• Split Barrage is also really good for more damage and mobility for PVP and decent for Raids
• Overall Ratio is IMO better than Blood Manipulation for PVP but for Raids it’s more of a support option
• Best beginner CT

Straw Doll
Grade 3
• Straw Doll is the weakest B-Tier but it’s still pretty good as a beginner CT since it deals decent damage
• Piercing Rain is good farming AOE for PVE but since you have to channel it, it’s not the best for PVP and Raids
• Nail Gun is a better skill since it’s faster for Raids/PVP and a good combo extender for PVP
• Resonance can deal good damage for Raids and PVE but it’s a bit more difficult to land in PVP since you’ll get interrupted out of it
• Overall a beginner CT leaning more toward PVE

C-Tier Cursed Techniques

C-TierRanking Reasons

Cursed Speech
Grade 2
• A small moveset CT that doesn’t deal that much damage but at least has some utility with two AOE moves for supporting damage as a secondary CT
• Overall I wouldn’t use it unless you’re a beginner and you’re using Cursed Speech as a second support CT

D-Tier Cursed Techniques

D-TierRanking Reasons

Exploding Flesh
Grade 3
• The worst and weakest CT in the game but works okay as a secondary support CT as you’re starting out
• Replace when you get anything else
• The moves aren’t worth it over any other CT currently

How to Farm Lumen in Jujutsu Zero

There are three main ways to get Lumen in Jujutsu Zero which you can use to spin for Cursed Techniques:

  • Chests: Simply explore the map and look for chests which can give you a lot of Lumens and Yen. They don’t respawn but they can give upwards of 3500 Lumens or more which is enough for 10 Technique spins.
  • AFK Realm: If you go AFK you’ll enter the AFK Realm where you’ll accumulate spins which can win you tons of Lumen.
  • Raids: All Raids on any difficulty give you Lumens. You can farm the special grade pity which costs 70.000 Lumens with 700 Easy Raids, 467 Medium Raids, 350 Hard Raids or 234 Nightmare Raids.

You can also buy Lumens with Yen but it’s not worth it as a beginner since you’ll need Yen to unlock Masteries. Lastly, you can buy Lumens with Robux in the Shop but I wouldn’t recommend it since the AFK Realm is free.

How to Farm Mastery in Jujutsu Zero

To unlock the higher level moves of each Cursed Technique you’ll need to farm mastery in Jujutsu Zero and here’s how:

  • Activate a Mastery Vow for bonus Mastery EXP.
  • Have a friend, a random or your alternative account accept the first Level 1 quest to defeat students.
  • Then, you should just farm the students since they give a bunch of Mastery and they won’t despawn since the quest will be active on your alt’s account or your friend’s.
  • Don’t finish the quest on your alt or if you’re doing it with a friend tell them not to finish the quest or the enemies will despawn.
  • (Optional) You can do this on a private server if you want but it’s possible on public servers as well.

Jujutsu Zero FAQ – Black Flash, Domain, Skill Tree & More

What is the best Cursed Technique in Jujutsu Zero?

Limitless is currently the best since it’s the only CT that has a Domain Expansion. Shrine and Disaster Flame are really close and Star Rage is also really good for Raids.

How to Get Domain Expansion in Jujutsu Zero?

Limitless is currently the only CT with a Domain Expansion. You unlock it by getting Domain Shards from Raid Chests. Then just go into the Techniques menu, find Limitless and buy the Domain Expansion using the Domain Shard.

When can I play Raids?

Raids are available starting from Level 100. They’re worth playing since they drop Raid Chests which contain the best gear, Domain Shards and more. That said do not pull on banners on raids right now since the pity is bugged. Save your Lumens for after the fix. You can check for fixes on the Jujutsu Zero Discord.

How to do a Black Flash in Jujutsu Zero?

When fighting enemies or bosses you will see two circles when they attack with the larger one rapidly shrinking to fit the smaller one. To do a Black Flash you have to do an M1 at the exact same time when the two circles align.

How to farm Lumens in Jujutsu Zero?

Look for chests in the open world which can drop Lumens. These chests don’t respawn. Also, you can farm Raids for Lumens starting at Level 100. Lastly, go AFK for 20 minutes and you’ll enter the AFK realm where you can get reward spins based on how long you were AFK. Use these spins in the AFK realm and one of the rewards are Lumens.

That’s it for my Jujutsu Zero Cursed Technique tier list and guide. Check out our Jujutsu Zero codes for a bunch of free clan spins, Lumens for technique spins and more.
