Progression guide

The whole path from your first pull to Over Heaven, in the order it opens. The story drives everything; past Part 3, each new part, universe and act also asks for a player level, so the rest of the game (quests, Mirror World, raids) is part of the climb, not a detour.

Guided paths

Your home page always shows your next goal. The Beginner's path is the first of 4 chapters; each one opens when you claim the last, and every step pays once (steps you'd already done count straight away).

3 · The Alternate Universe

“What if the villains won?” Each chapter opens after its part of the story and at its own level, and you can work on several at once. They're harder than the part they branch from and pay more (crafting materials, Arrowheads, a Requiem Arrow at the end).

Chapter	Opens after	Level	Stages
The World Unbroken with Noriaki Kakyoin	Part 3 · Stardust Crusaders	18	5
Morioh Never Sleeps with Rohan Kishibe	Part 4 · Diamond is Unbreakable	24	5
The Golden Boss with Trish Una	Part 5 · Golden Wind	30	5
Heaven Reached with Emporio Alniño	Part 6 · Stone Ocean	36	5
The Saint's Corpse with Gyro Zeppeli	Part 7 · Steel Ball Run	40	5
Requiem of All Parts with Every JoJo	Part 8 · JoJolion	44	5

4 · Part 10 · Carry Me

Once the story is done, Joyce Joestar's begins. Her Stand, Carry Me, fights beside your team in the form of a past JoJo's Stand, a different one each act. The Encore comes last, under Over Heaven's rules.

Act	Carry Me remembers	Level	Scenes
Act I · Open Call	Joseph Joestar	36	3
Act II · Stage Fright	Jotaro Kujo	39	3
Act III · Understudy	Josuke Higashikata	42	3
Act IV · Golden Hour	Giorno Giovanna	45	3
Act V · Free Fall	Jolyne Cujoh	48	3
Act VI · Final Cut	Johnny Joestar	51	4
Act VII · Curtain Call	Josuke (Gappy)	54	3
Act VIII · Encore ☁	every JoJo	58	4

5 · The endgame

Over Heaven opens with the end of the story: 7 tracks of puzzle fights where a team built for each fight's rule beats raw rarity. Start with Heaven's Trials, which teaches the rules one at a time. (Heaven's Trials · 12, The Bizarre Journey · Over Heaven · 6, What If · Over Heaven · 6, Boss Rush · Over Heaven · 6, The Tower · Over Heaven · 6, The Depths · Over Heaven · 6, Requiem · Over Heaven · 6)
Over Heaven co-op raids open at the same time: the weekly raid boss with a rule, for 2 or 3 players.
Heaven's Gate opens once Requiem · Over Heaven is cleared: four fights at full Requiem strength under Over Heaven's rules, each built around an impossible power. The World stops time every third round, King Crimson erases your turns while Epitaph shows you who his stands will strike, Heaven's Door hides your enemies' health until you read it, and Made in Heaven shrinks your turn clock every round. Before each fight you pick a pact: a blessing with a curse attached. Clearing all four earns the title “Heaven's Gate”.
Account prestige: with the story cleared, start it again with stronger enemies and every reward paid again, up to prestige 3 (see the modes page). Bring stands with prestige of their own.
Training ground opens at account prestige 1: train three stands at once (each earns about what a Heaven's Door run pays) for energy and Meteor Dust (Sparring 4 000, Intense drill 5 000, Masterclass 6 000), and earn chips.

Your team at each step

What a team usually needs to win each milestone (measured with the team simulator on SSR teams and on a top LR/UR team). Every PvE fight shows the same advice under its enemies, next to your own team, with a link to simulate it.

Milestone	Team level	Stars (every stand)	Gear
Story Parts 3 to 5	The stage's level	★0 to ★1	Any items
Part 6 · Made in Heaven	About 65	★1	Two items each
Part 7 · Love Train	90 to 100	★2 (LR/UR) or ★3 (SSR)	Refining starts to count
Part 8 · Wonder of U	100	★3 to win, ★4 to be safe	+3 items
Alternate Universe, Carry Me	100	★4 to ★5	+3 to +5
Over Heaven, Requiem, Heaven's Gate	100	★5	+5 items built for each stand, good qualities (Supreme, Universal)

Where the copies come from: every star takes spare copies of the stand (★1 1, ★2 1, ★3 2, ★4 2, ★5 3). Pull the banner your team comes from; Devil's Palms pull 5 stands at SR or better; every 10-pull adds a spark (20 buy any SSR of a banner); release the stands you won't use for Stand Discs and buy the exact copy you need; a Requiem Arrow stands in for one copy (the bosses of Parts 6, 7 and 8 each give one). The Weekly Road adds Devil's Palms, Discs and an Arrowhead every week. Swapping a starred stand out? Releasing it refunds the copies its stars used, as Discs.

How to level up

Player XP comes from almost everything you do. Level up in Mirror World, quests, the dungeon, co-op raids and the tower.

Source	Player XP
Mirror World	100 a fight (1 energy)
Story, Alternate Universe, Carry Me	On each first clear, more the further you go
Co-op raids	Normal 300 · Hard 450 · Nightmare 650 · Over Heaven 900
Dungeon	40 per floor you get out with
Quests	Daily and weekly rewards, and the Weekly Road

Energy refills one point every 6 minutes (up to 240 a day if you spend it as it comes), and a full bar stops refilling, so a few short visits a day beat one long one. The story has no level gates: its fights climb a little every stage, so your team's growth sets the pace. Carry Me opens at level 36 and its Encore at 58: about three to four weeks of steady play.

Stand levels come mostly from Heaven's Door training: fights only teach your stands a little. A 12-turn run with one stand pays a few levels and a small permanent gain. Then raise a stand's prestige with spare copies of it.

Stuck on a fight?

Read the line under the enemies: it says what the fight asks (level, stars, gear) and what your team is missing.
Run it in the team simulator first (the 🧪 Simulate link), or try other stands and gear in the team planner.
Level your team and give it stars (upgrading stands): short on copies, buy them with Stand Discs. Equip and refine items, and socket chips.
Look for a synergy: a team that shares a crew or a part hits much harder (explorer).
Replay cleared stages for stand XP while you wait for a level gate.
