Tier list

Stand Out tier list

Stand Out has no power tier list, and there is no best Stand. What the game does rank is rarity, because rarity decides which arrow can return a Stand. This page groups every documented Stand by that grading, shows what each tier costs to reach, and lists what nobody can rank — including us.

Stand Out Wiki Editors Updated November 15, 2026

This is a rarity tier list, not a strength ranking.

Every tier below is a rarity label from the game itself, and every arrow rule follows those labels. No part of this page ranks one Stand above another by damage, because the game publishes no damage numbers to rank them with.

Is there a Stand Out tier list?

The game's own answer

The game's FAQ answers "What is the best stand?" with a single line: “There is no definite ‘Best’ Stand. All stands are good in their own ways.” No ranking, no top five and no match-up table come with it.

The game's update history does not rank Stands against each other either: across 37 dated change-log entries the balance wording is almost entirely fixed — buff appears twice, nerf three times, and no entry carries a balance table.

What the tiers actually measure

Each Stand carries a rarity label — Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythical or Pinnacle, plus Evolution and Quest for the ones you do not roll. That label is the only grading in the game, and it drives the roll pool: the Lucky Arrow excludes Rare, and the Bizarre Arrow excludes both Rare and Epic. Read as a tier list, it is a drop-difficulty list: the higher the tier, the harder the Stand is to reach.

The game publishes no evidence that a Mythical hits harder than a Rare. Rarity measures how narrow the arrow pool is, not how strong the kit is.

The tiers, rarest last

These are the 40 Stands that an arrow can currently return, grouped by their rarity label. Kit columns count the ability headings printed on each Stand's page here: base moves and EX moves. A dash means no move of that kind is listed.

Part 3 and Part 5 focus arrows

Two arrows narrow the pool to a single part instead of a single tier. The Part 3 arrow rolls only Part 3 Stands, and the Part 5 arrow only Part 5 Stands, both at flat rates rather than the tier rates above. They are the cheapest way to target a specific tier-plus-part combination, and they are covered with the full rate table on the Stand arrows page.

Stands outside the arrow pool

Eight documented Stands are not returned by an arrow today. Four were pulled from the pool on October 29, 2026 and keep their pages as records. The other four are obtained another way, and their tiers are not roll targets at all.

How to read this as a tier list

Rarity is the price, not the power

The Lucky Arrow lists Epic 42.5%, Legendary 34.0%, Mythical 22.1% and Pinnacle 1.5%, with a Pinnacle chance matching at least one Pinnacle from three regular arrows. The Bizarre Arrow lists Legendary 57.9%, Mythical 37.7% and Pinnacle 4.4%, matching one Pinnacle from nine regular arrows. Those numbers describe how often a tier appears, and nothing more.

A higher tier does not mean a longer kit

Count the Base and EX columns above and the tiers do not line up in a straight ladder. Two Rare Stands carry more listed moves than most Pinnacle ones, and several Legendary kits are shorter than an Epic kit. That is the practical reason a rarity label cannot stand in for a strength judgement: it was never built to measure kit depth.

What nobody can rank, including this page

The game publishes no absolute damage numbers, no DPS values and no official balance table. Across the Stands the only consistently printed number is a cooldown in seconds; damage is described in words such as “heavy” or “knockback” rather than in figures. A page that told you which Stand deals the most damage would be inventing the number it ranked by.

Why other tier lists disagree with each other

The one thing rankings agree on

Three community rankings checked on November 15, 2026 — yelixo’s October 17 top-stand video, CrownTrone’s October 19 PvP and PvE lists, and BoggyBenson’s November 14 full ranking of every Stand — all put the time-manipulation kits near the top: Mandom, The World, Star Platinum, King Crimson and their variants. That convergence tracks how strong time reversal and time stop feel in play, not how rare the Stand is: Mandom is a Mythical and Emperor a Legendary, yet yelixo placed Mandom first overall and Emperor in his top two.

Below the top, the rankings contradict each other

Outside that handful, the same Stand lands in different places depending on who is publishing, and the named examples are stark. Rolling Stones is the number one PvP pick in CrownTrone’s list and the bottom grade in BoggyBenson’s full ranking — a one-shot-trick playstyle that one creator rates as the best and another refuses to play. Silver Chariot sits in a top group for CrownTrone and mid-table for BoggyBenson. Emperor went from yelixo’s top two in October to a mid grade in BoggyBenson’s November list, which is what meta drift between patches looks like.

The pattern repeats because none of the rankings states which question it is answering — PvP duels, story progression or farming all reward different kits, so the same Stand can be first and last at once. This page reports those placements with the creator and date attached rather than averaging them, because a second-hand opinion does not become a fact when two sites repeat it.

The only balance change since launch

The game launched on November 14, 2026 at 19:00 UTC, and the first Stand-specific damage change arrived about four hours later: Hustle EX's barrage damage was nerfed by 35%, posted at 23:13 UTC. The new Hustle EX move had been added in the launch patch the same evening. One nerf in the first evening is the entire published balance record for the released build, which is another reason any strength ranking written today is provisional.

Tier list FAQ

What is the best Stand in Stand Out?

There is no official answer, and the game says so directly: there is no definite best Stand, and all Stands are good in their own ways. Any page that hands you a single best Stand is giving you an opinion.

Is the rarest Stand the strongest?

No published data says that, and the numbers that exist describe drop rates rather than performance. The Pinnacle tier is the hardest to roll and the easiest to assume things about, but no damage figures are attached to it.

Which Stand should I pick first?

Pick on the axis you actually care about. If you are pushing the story, arrows used before you finish roll from a modified pool that excludes Super Fly, Rolling Stones and Cinderella, and from October 26, 2026 Burning Down The House, Catch The Rainbow and Strength cannot come from arrows until the story is done; Lyin' Eyes joined that block on November 14, 2026 — so a stand that would be a poor first pick may be fine later. If you want a specific Stand, the part-focus arrows are cheaper than rerolling the whole pool. If you want a pilot-style kit, check whether the Stand's page documents one before you spend arrows on it.

Do these tiers change with updates?

Yes. Stands were relabelled on November 12, 2026 — two days before launch — so a tier read from an older snapshot can be wrong. This page was assembled on November 15, 2026.
