If you want to stay competitive in Basketball Zero on Roblox, then you have to choose the right Style and Zone. Styles define your movement, dribbling, offense, and defense abilities, while Zones provide powerful buffs that influence how a match plays out. In this guide, we will provide you with detailed tier lists of all currently available Styles and Zones in September 2025, ranking them from best to worst. We encourage you to use our lists to plan your spins and builds.

Basketball Zero Styles Tier List

S-Tier Styles

Psychic offers one of the most complete sets of tools in Basketball Zero. It has excellent long-range offense, teleportation or positioning tools, an unblockable pass, and its awakening gives you strong burst potential, making it extremely versatile in both offense and defense.

Basketball God is a limited style that grants very strong dribbling moves (including the “Shamgod”-type move) and excellent dunking capabilities, along with supporting awakenings and utility. Its rarity makes it harder to get, but its payoff is among the highest.

Copycat is powerful because its core mechanic allows you to borrow or copy strong moves from other styles in a match, enabling you to adapt on the fly. This makes it highly flexible – while it depends on what opponents have, in almost any match, Copycat can leverage strong abilities.

Chrollo specializes in mobility and range, combining long dribbles with a shot from very far, especially strong when paired with zones that enhance pass range or movement. Its awakening ability amplifies its threat when timed well.

Tatlis is another limited/offensive style that offers stun- or control-type effects, plus strong dash or gap-closing abilities, making it dangerous for enemy defenses. Although it requires good timing and mastery to be consistent, when executed well, it dominates.

Perfection boasts mobility, blink or dodging, and strong dribble mechanics. It also has good defensive mobility, and the awakened form boosts its speed or dodge potential, making it hard to pin down.

Emperor blends offensive and defensive capabilities. It provides strong crowd control (or defensive disruption), good dribbling options, and utility moves. While its raw shooting output might lag behind pure shooters, its all-around power makes up for that.

Ace, after its recent rework, has regained status among top styles by improving its drive, giving more reliable crossovers or multi-step dribbles, plus decent mobility and good finishing options.

Gold regained a defensive buff, bringing back pressure and blocking utility, and its movement and dribble tools allow for fast plays and transitions.

Lazy Worker is ahigh risk, high reward style. While some of its effects depend on RNG, when things align (e.g. loose ball snatch into guaranteed shot), its scoring potential is huge.

Star and Flash were both boosted in recent updates. Star’s drive and mobility have been improved, making it less one-dimensional, and Flash remains strong for players who rely on speed, agility, and being unpredictable.

Giant provides strong defensive tools (such as blocking or pressure) combined with solid offensive finishing (especially near the basket). It may be slower than some styles, but it compensates via toughness and dunk potential.

A-Tier Styles

Switcher offers a unique positional and strategic utility, enabling you to swap with teammates. It’s very good in coordinated play, though less powerful in solo or chaotic scenarios.

Sniper is excellent for long-range shots and accuracy, but its downside is that outside of pure range, it lacks mobility or defensive strength compared to top styles.

Jackpot has luck-based or RNG elements. When you get favourable outcomes, its burst can be high, but those moments are harder to consistently depend on.

Phantom tends to favour support or hybrid play – good in assisting or disrupting, but not quite at the raw damage and finishing power of S-Tier styles in many matchups.

Uncle Sam has flair and certain utility, perhaps better for fun builds or certain niche matchups, but it does not match the overall power or consistency of the highest tier.

B-Tier Styles

Playmaker shines when you’re coordinating with teammates. Its passing and support abilities are strong, especially in modes or matches with more than one teammate. However, in solo or chaotic matchups, it tends to fall behind more aggressive or high-burst styles.

Clutch has its moments – it can turn pressure plays into scoring chances with its mechanics, but lacks the breadth of tools or consistency to compete with top-tier styles across the board. It often depends heavily on a few core moves.

C-Tier Styles

Lock is strong defensively and has good blocking or pressure tools, but its offensive options are limited, and it lacks mobility or range to match more aggressive styles.

Fetch has some decent balance, but struggles when you need to break through defense or in high-mobility matchups. Its reach or burst often lags behind the higher tiers.

Quick is in its namesake – some speed and dash tools, but overall fewer impact moves. It’s weaker in both offense and defense, making it more situational.

D-Tier Styles

Chuck is very high variance. It can succeed spectacularly when luck or the game state favours it, but more often its unpredictability works against you. It lacks reliable power, range, or mobility compared to almost every other style, making it a weak pick in competitive or serious matches.

Basketball Zero Zones Tier List

S-Tier Zones

Emperor Vision is widely regarded as the strongest Zone due to its combination of buffs. Opponents near you have a chance to miss shots, you get extra dribble charges, and you cannot be ankle broken. These layers of offensive and defensive disruption make it extremely powerful with many styles.

Street Dribbler grants an extra dribble charge and increased speed while handling the ball, which is an important factor in almost every match. It lets you dodge defenders, chain plays, and avoid being punished for loose dribbles.

Quick Draw significantly improves shot release speed and often boosts pass speed or reduces lag on passes and shots, making it harder for opponents to contest or block your attempts.

Posterizer gives unlockable dunk or layup mechanics that cannot be blocked in the scoring (2-point) area and increases movement speed inside that zone. For styles that rely on finishing near the rim or high aggression inside, this is a huge advantage.

Real Basketball provides unblockable dunks, increased shooting range, and sometimes minor speed buffs, giving both finishing power and range if you can position well.

Perfectionist is one of the newer limited event Zones. It provides multiple buffs, including speed, range, and extra dribble, making it one of the most universally powerful zones if you happen to have it.

Gold Vision increases dribble speed, gives extra dribble, improves pass speed, and generally enhances your movement and ability to chain plays. It’s very good for aggressive or fast play styles.

Chaos adds strong utility or mix-buffs (movement, dribbling, etc.), often giving unpredictable leverage or shifting momentum in mid-game thanks to its unique effects.

A-Tier Zones

777 is a luck-oriented zone, but greatly rewarding. It can grant big movement or range boosts when you land favourable outcomes, so in many matches it can swing the momentum.

Limitless gives major shot range and aim assist, excellent for shooters or ranged styles to land shots more safely, though it usually lacks in defensive or mobility coverage.

Paint boosts effectiveness in the scoring area (2-point range), greatly aiding finishing styles, though its impact fades outside of its zone.

Animalistic grants increased jump height, speed, and sometimes longer block windows. It’s good for hybrid aggressors or those who mix dunking and defense, but not as universally game-changing as an S-Tier zone.

Unbreakable removes ankle break vulnerability and similar handicaps, allowing you to aggressively attempt steals or pressure without fear of being punished. That’s great for offensive pressure, but alone, it doesn’t carry as many bonuses as top-tier zones.

B-Tier Zones

Speed Dribble provides faster speed while dribbling, which helps mobility during offensive plays or escaping pressure, but its benefits are more situational and not as heavy in raw impact.

Lockdown boosts defensive cooldowns or similar defensive buffs (stealing, blocking) but does not contribute much to offense or range. Its usefulness depends heavily on match or team composition.

C-Tier Zones

Hustle gives boosts to speed when the ball is loose. Good for chasing rebounds or loose balls, but weak in planned or scoring-focused plays.

Sprinter boosts general movement speed with or without the ball, but its bonus is mild relative to more powerful zones. When compared to top-tier zones, the difference in utility is huge.

D-Tier Zones

Dime is currently regarded as the weakest zone because its bonuses, often tied to passing or minor assist buffs, don’t impact many game states as much. It lacks defensive or offensive punch compared to practically every other Zone in the game.

In Basketball Zero, the top builds generally combine a high-rank Style with a Zone that grants versatile advantages (especially extra dribble, movement, or unblockable finishing). Styles like Psychic, Basketball God, Chrollo, Tatlis, Emperor, and Ace are among the strongest you can aim for, while Zones like Emperor Vision, Street Dribbler, Real Basketball, and Posterizer make huge differences in matchups. If you’re gearing up to spin or reroll for better Styles or Zones, redeeming the latest Basketball Zero codes is a great move to increase your chances or get extra spin opportunities.
