Jujutsu Kaisen: Phantom Parade Team Composition Guide and Tips

As a seasoned gamer and long-time fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, I must say that this guide has been nothing short of enlightening! It’s like someone opened my eyes to a whole new world of strategies and team compositions within the game.


As a passionate gamer diving into the thrilling world of Jujutsu Kaisen: Phantom Parade, let me share some exciting news! This action-packed RPG, inspired by the anime sensation, was initially released in Japan last year and finally became globally accessible on November 7, 2024. In this game, you’ll get to immerse yourself in rapid, skill-based battles with beloved characters from the Jujutsu Kaisen universe, all while mixing strategy and style.

How to build the best team in JJK: Phantom Parade

Phantom Parade is a role-playing game (RPG) that follows a turn-based system, meaning each encounter between your squad and adversaries happens in rounds or turns. During your team’s turn, you get to decide the actions for each character, such as attacking, using special abilities, or even strategizing defensively. The enemies then take their turn to execute their moves until one side succumbs to defeat. We’ll delve into the primary gameplay aspects and tactics for creating a versatile team capable of overcoming various challenges.

Team Building

As I prepare for each stage in Phantom Parade, I must carefully select the characters I’ll take into battle and the Recollection Bits they’ll carry. Let me explain how my team setup functions:

Jujutsu Kaisen: Phantom Parade Team Composition Guide and Tips
  • 4 Main Units: Your primary team members, will start the battle.
  • 1 Sub Unit: This character replaces any Main Unit that gets defeated during the battle.
  • 1 Support Unit: An optional extra unit you can select from other players’ characters. Players can set which unit to share as Support and choose the Recollection Bit for it. Support Units are available three times per day.

At the upper part of the screen, you’ll find an estimation of your team’s power in battles, which we call the “Battle Strength”. To determine if your team is sufficiently powerful for a battle, check this against the suggested “Battle Power” displayed at the bottom.

However, even if your Battle Power is lower, it’s still possible to clear higher-level stages with the right strategy. Stages may also recommend specific Elements based on enemy weaknesses or resistances. For example, if a stage suggests red-element units, they’ll likely be more effective than green-element ones.

Character Selection

As a gamer, I’ve found that it’s often beneficial to have at least two support characters in my team to amplify our overall damage output. For instance, Nanami and Yaga can provide some hefty Damage Buffs, which in turn empowers attackers like Nobara and Gojo to deal more impactful blows.

As a strategy-loving gamer, I’ve found it advantageous in certain scenarios to field three support units and just one primary damage dealer. This setup is all about amplifying the power of my damage dealer (or crippling the enemy team) so that when it comes time, they can deliver an epic blow, often with their ultimate ability.

Arrange your combat units with those providing support at the front line and the ones dealing damage in the rear. This arrangement can be advantageous as support units may sometimes need to engage in attacks to impose status effects or reduce the enemy’s capabilities, even though they usually act first.

Gameplay mechanics

As I dive into the thrilling world of Jujutsu Kaisen: Phantom Parade, it’s all about strategizing and mastering one-of-a-kind game mechanics that set this game apart. From picking my skills carefully to unleashing my Ultimate Skills and teaming up with allies for powerful moves, grasping these mechanics is crucial if I want to conquer each stage with ease. Here’s a quick rundown of what I need to know for combat success:

Choosing Actions

At the start of a battle, you’ll choose which abilities each character will employ during their turn. The screen displays both the Wave and Turn numbers to help monitor how many enemy groups you’ve encountered and the number of turns taken thus far. You’ll notice the enemies’ weaknesses and resistances, any currently active buffs or debuffs, and the count of their Ultimate Skills (represented by circles and a Cursed Energy icon), which rises each time they take action.

Auto Battle and Speed Modes

As a gamer, I’ve got two handy features at my disposal: ‘Auto Battle’ and ‘2x Speed’. The Auto Battle option is a lifesaver for simple levels, but it might not be the best choice when things get tough because the AI’s decisions might not deliver maximum damage. To make smart moves, I like to carefully study the Buffs, Debuffs, and Ultimate Skill Gauge of characters or enemies by holding them down. This way, I can strategize effectively!

Activating Recollection Bits

Recollection Bits are special items that characters possess, which come with abilities that activate under certain conditions. To set off a character’s Recollection Bit Ability, press the assigned button during their action selection. After being utilized, the ability enters a cool-down period, where the duration varies for each Bit.

Break Mechanic

Below the opponent’s Health Meter lies a ‘Vulnerability Threshold’. Hitting the enemy reduces this threshold, particularly with abilities that focus on their weak points. Completely draining the Vulnerability Threshold causes the enemy to enter a ‘Defenseless State’ for two rounds, during which they cannot retaliate, and your attacks will inflict increased damage. Some characters also receive boosts when the enemy is in the Defenseless State.

Critical Hits and Black Flashes

The game features both Critical Strikes and Black Flashes, which are special types of hits with distinct characteristics. Critical Strikes increase the damage dealt by 1.5 times and may even grant additional character bonuses. On the other hand, Black Flashes function similarly but also accelerate the filling of the Ultimate Gauge faster than standard hits. Each character and skill has specific probabilities for triggering a Critical Strike or Black Flash, with certain skills incapable of causing a Black Flash altogether.

Cooperative Ultimates

When both characters’ skill levels are at their maximum, you can jointly initiate a ‘Shared Ultimate’. This extraordinary move showcases both characters attacking simultaneously, usually accompanied by distinctive audio cues. The Shared Ultimates inflict additional damage and bestow bonuses based on the character combination involved.

In Jujutsu Kaisen: Phantom Parade, building the right team is key to handling each game mode. Whether it’s the main story, challenging battle instances, or auto battles, each team composition offers unique strengths. Here’s a guide to crafting lineups with powerful attackers, reliable buffers, and essential debuffers for every situation.

Main Story Team Comp

In the primary narrative or campaign, you’ll begin with more manageable levels, but as you advance, the difficulties increase. To conquer these challenging stages, consider using this potent team.

Kaito Yuki amplifies cursed energy regeneration and boosts spell potency for all team members, thereby compensating for his lower offensive capabilities and maintaining a balanced team power. Ultimately, Gojo Satoru provides strong buffs, destructive attack skills, and exceptional protection in auto-battle mode, making him indispensable for more challenging encounters.

Auto Battle Team Comp

In auto battles, employ a strategy that concentrates on both widespread damage and potent debilitations. Lead the charge with powerful debilitations from Zen’in Mai, weakening enemy attack strength, while Yoshinobu Rakuganji assaults all foes with enhanced debilitations.

Masamichi Yaga amplifies the power of team abilities and imposes additional weaknesses on opponents for a strategic advantage. In the end, Fushiguro Jinji enters the fray as a dependable physical assailant, boasting a high critical hit multiplier, consistently dealing significant damage to decisively conclude battles efficiently.

Final Thoughts

To build a strong team in Jujutsu Kaisen: Phantom Parade, balance is a key factor. Each character shines in different ways with some that deal big damage, others boosting allies, and some weakening enemies. Mixing attackers with buffers and debuffers like Masamichi Yaga and Zen’in Mai will make your team ready for anything.
