How to get Jester

  1. Reported route: reach Tier 50 on the Premium Season 2 Battlepass. Check the season and premium requirement before purchasing.

This is the reported Update 2 route, not confirmation that the event, shop or season remains open. The acquisition report mixes base and evolved names; community records distinguish them. The live reward and Evolve panels determine which form is awarded. Check those panels before spending. Drop chance, pity and a complete evolution recipe are not verified here.

September 2026 publisher assessment

PGG's September 8 chart places this form in S tier. This is a publisher assessment, separate from the July five-source consensus.

Safe decision

Build it when these jobs solve a real team gap. Test the complete setup before spending rare rerolls or replacing a proven slot.

Kit interpretation

What Jester does

Random weapon changes alternate between Scythe area attacks, Rifle attacks that apply Bleed, and Mace-triggered temporary clones. Repeating a weapon changes the next roll's behavior, so one lucky cycle is a poor performance sample.

These are mechanical roles, not a promise that the unit wins every map. Placement, upgrades, target type, allies and stage duration can change the outcome.

Reroll stop rule

Trait direction

Compare owned carry options across repeated runs. Keep weapon outcomes visible instead of attributing all variation to the trait.

Use the trait odds calculator before committing crystals. A mechanically relevant owned trait can be better account value than chasing a rarer headline trait.

Evolution and equipment checks

No reviewed evolution recipe in the current table

The acquisition report above does not establish a complete evolution recipe. If the live client offers an evolution for your copy, confirm its target form and every material there; no missing recipe is counted as free.

No unit-specific match in the reviewed equipment table

Do not assume that absence means “no equipment.” It only means the current source catalog has no named exclusive record matched to this unit. Compare live rolls by bottleneck.

Original field protocol

How to test Jester on your account

  1. 1. Freeze the conditions

    Use the same stage, act, party, upgrade, placement, trait and equipment. Record the game date or visible version.

  2. 2. Measure the kit's real job

    Log weapon sequences and clone uptime across matched runs, including failed clears. Compare typical results and spread instead of choosing the best Rifle or Scythe sequence.

  3. 3. Keep outcomes separate

    Record personal output, team effect, control, economy and clear consistency as separate fields. One blended score hides why a unit worked.

  4. 4. Repeat and label the sample

    Start with at least 10 matched runs when practical, publish the exact count and retain failures. A small sample is useful when it is honestly labeled.

Sources, confidence and deliberate omissions

Character-name aliases: PGG character-name chart, checked 2026-09-16. This identity check does not update the kit review date above.

The historical July labels and role scopes stay visible on the five-source tier matrix. Where a dated Wiki table is available above, its level and equipment conditions are explicit. Other unsupported base stats, placement costs, banner odds and universal DPS remain omitted. The live client is stronger evidence for your current version. If a cited mechanic changes, send the page URL, screenshot or official note through the correction channel.

Jester quick questions

What role does Jester play?

The documented profile supports Damage, DOT, Summon jobs and uses a Physical damage classification. The best role depends on which part of the kit your stage and team can activate.

What trait should I use on Jester?

Compare owned carry options across repeated runs. Keep weapon outcomes visible instead of attributing all variation to the trait. Treat this as a direction and stop rule, not a guarantee that one rare trait is optimal for every account.

Is Jester top tier?

PGG's September 8 chart places this form in S tier. This is a publisher assessment, separate from the July five-source consensus. Rankings are dated judgments; matched tests and current balance notes should decide expensive investment.
