Ultimate World of Stands Tier List – Best Stands & Skins (July 2025) [PT3]

Updated on July 2, 2025: Reworked the entire tier list according to the current PVE and PVP Meta. Also, added a tier list for Stand Skin values.

Let's go through the best Stands in World of Stands for both PVP and PVE. I'll be taking a look at all moves as well as the overall damage output and start-up speed. Then, I'll also rate Stand Skins and sort them by rarity & value. Let's check out our full World of Stands tier list for all Stands and Stands Skins.

World of Stands Tier List for all Stands

These are the best Stands in World of Stands for both PVP and PVE. I ranked them based on both the damage output and the flexibility of the move set for speed, zoning, mobility, defense, and counters. Ultimately, this is just my personal opinion from tons of testing and in general most stands, no matter the rarity, can be good if you master them and know how to fight other stands. Let's dive into all Stands separately below.

Best Stands in World of Stands

Stand Notes

King Crimson
Legendary
• Great for PVE but one of the best PVP Stands
• Almost all moves deal amazing damage
• Has amazing distance and mobility as well as counters with Epitaph

Anubis Chariot
Legendary
• Incredibly fast high damage stand
• Lots of combo potential
• Great for PVP, PVE, and teams
• Incredibly easy to play

S-Tier Stands

• Great mix of AOE damage moves and mobility

Killer Queen
Legendary
• Incredibly fast start-up on moves
• Lots of variety between AOE, single, ranged, and mobility moves
• Amazing for PVE and decent for PVP

White Snake
Legendary
• One of the best range Stands in the game with lots of zoning moves
• Applies excellent status effects and debuffs
• Great for PVP

A-Tier Stands

Stand Notes

The World
Legendary
• Great for PVP due to the timestop
• Overall a solid stand with balanced moves that's great for grinding
• Weaker compared to most Legendaries since most moves are blockable
• Not the best in overall melee

Gold Experience
Legendary
• Great for PVP due to unpredictable moves and timing
• Takes a bit to learn the moves and master comboes and start-ups
• Gives you self-sustain heals
• Decent for PVE

Sticky Fingers
Rare
• Takes some practice but is actually a really powerful PVP style
• A mix of unpredictable moves, guard breaks, and mid-range attacks
• Excellent mobility

Magicians Red
Rare
• Excellent mix of PVP and PVE power
• Great combos and stun options
• Flexible for both melee and ranged combat
• You need to learn timings for PVP since the moves have a slower start-up

Cream
Rare
• One of the best Stands for mobility and zoning enemies
• Great for PVP if you master the moves but also good for PVE

B-Tier Stands

Stand Notes

Red Hot Chili Pepper
Common
• Actually a sleeper strong choice and might deserve higher rankings
• Has a couple of high damage moves from Move 3 and Move 6
• Also has great dash and mobility potential
• Pretty great for PVP

Silver Chariot
Rare
• Overall a pretty decent PVP and PVE stand
• Good mix of damage and mobility moves
• Decent comboes
• Simply gets out damaged by higher tier stands

Crazy Diamond
Legendary
• Might be wrong here but Crazy Diamond moves are slow and take a while to setup for comboes IMO
• Still, if you can get the timing down, Crazy Diamond moves can do amazing damage
• That said, it's kind of a 1v1 Stand only that takes tons of practice

Anubis
Common
• Great selection of moves and comboes
• Low damage on most moves compared to the other styles
• That's why it's not ranked higher

Death 13
Common
• Only great for the Dream World mechanic that buffs you and disables other Stand ultimates
• Other than that Death 13 moves don't deal great damage and can be dodged/blocked easily by experienced players
• Still, if you can land Sleep build up and combo this with the Dream World self-buff enemy-debuff Death 13 is pretty great at PVP

C-Tier Stands

Stand Notes

Weather Report
Rare
• Similar to Crazy Diamond I might be wrong here but Weather Report isn't the best for PVP
• The moves are mostly melee with some ranged that are easy to dodge or block
• Amazing for PVE but for PVP it's not that strong

Hierophant Green
Rare
• Excellent selection of ranged zoning moves and mobility
• That said, they don't deal that much damage or are easy to dodge in PVP
• This is more of a PVE oriented stand

The Sun
Common
• Amazing PVE Stand for grinding
• Excellent AOE damage
• Struggles in PVP due to slow predictable moves

Echoes
Common
• One of the best and easiest Stands to get for early PVE
• Great selection of moves but low they deal low damage
• Not the best for PVP

Emperor
Common
• The ult is strong and fun to use
• Otherwise this Stand needs a damage buff and isn't the best for PVE nor PVP

Geb
Common
• Geb has a pretty good selection of moves, they just need to do more damage
• Desperatly needs a buff

The Hand
Common
• Pretty good comboes and damage for PVE
• Has slow start-ups so moves can be easily perfect blocked in PVP by experienced players

World of Stands Skin Tier List

Besides wondering which are the best Stands mechanically for PVE and PVP, let's also take a look at the best Stand Skins in World of Stands. These are determined by rarity and value and I'll rate all skins separately for Common, Rare, and Legendary Stands. Note that they go from best to worst from left to right so the left-most one is the best value.
