Build a Volleyball Squad Best Players Overview
With over 130 rollable characters in Build a Volleyball Squad, knowing which players are worth keeping saves you hundreds of rerolls. The best players share three traits: high base stats, impactful special abilities, and strong role coverage at their position. Many top units are inspired by Haikyuu!! favorites, including Hinata, Kageyama, and Oikawa archetypes.
Rare variants of the same character are almost always stronger than the base version. Whenever a rare variant appears, compare its stats against your current player before rerolling it away.
The table below highlights representative top players by rarity so you can quickly judge any roll.
| Player | Rarity | Role | Strength |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shoyo (Tiny Giant Style) | Legendary | Middle Blocker | Explosive jump, quick-attack speed |
| Toby (King of the Court) | Legendary | Setter | Pinpoint tosses that boost spiker damage |
| Toru (Great Setter) | Legendary | Setter | Balanced serve and set stats |
| Ace Libero | Epic | Libero | Top-tier dig and receive consistency |
| Wall Blocker | Rare | Middle Blocker | High block stat for mid-game walls |
| Rookie Spiker | Common | Outside Hitter | Easy to obtain, decent early damage |
Best Players Tier List
Use this tier breakdown to decide who to keep, who to reroll, and who to build your squad around. Rankings reflect overall impact in 5-minute duels.
| Tier | Label | Who Belongs Here | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Must Keep | Top legendary spikers, ace setters with buffs, rare variants of top-tier characters, legendary all-rounders | Never reroll — they carry duels |
| A | Strong Keepers | High-rarity outside hitters, elite middle blockers, high-rarity liberos, base versions of S-tier legends | Keep unless chasing all-S squads |
| B | Solid Fillers | Mid-rarity spikers, standard setters, common variants of A-tier players | Hold early, reroll later |
| C | Replace When Possible | Low-rarity blockers, low-stat all-rounders, common duplicates | Temporary placeholders only |
| D | Instant Reroll | Lowest-rarity bench players, weak duplicates with no variant value | Reroll immediately |
S-Tier Carriers
- Game-changing stats
- Special abilities that swing rallies
- Rare variants dominate every matchup
A-Tier Core
- Reliable duel winners
- Backbone of most competitive squads
- Trade up only for S-tier pulls
B/C-Tier Fillers
- Serviceable early game
- Reroll once better options appear
- Never invest heavily in them
Do not dump every reroll into one slot chasing a single legendary. A balanced squad with six A-tier players beats one S-tier legend surrounded by D-tier fillers in most duels.
How to Build Around the Best Players
Follow this workflow to turn your roster into a duel-winning machine using the best players available at your progression stage.
Lock Your Best Players First
Before spending any reroll, lock or mentally mark every S-tier and A-tier player you already own. This protects your strongest units from accidental rerolls.
Secure a True Setter
Even elite spikers whiff without clean tosses. Prioritize a high-rarity setter such as Toby or Toru before stacking additional hitters.
Reroll Weakest Slots Only
Target your D-tier and C-tier slots one at a time. Stop rerolling a slot as soon as you land a high-rarity player, then move to the next weak spot.
Balance Attack and Defense
Fill all six positions: setter, two outside hitters, middle blockers, opposite, and a libero. Do not stack only spikers.
Save Rerolls for Updates
New characters and variants are added in periodic batches. Rolling right after an update gives you a shot at brand-new top-tier players before everyone else.
Codes are the fastest free source of rerolls. Redeem active codes from the in-game Codes button as soon as they drop — new codes typically arrive with updates and milestones.
Best Team Comps by Stage
The best players only reach their potential inside the right composition. These proven lineups match your progression stage.
| Comp | Stage | Rarity Tier | Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter Balanced Squad | Early Game | Common / Uncommon | All-around coverage, no weak rotation |
| Serve & Block Wall | Mid Game | Rare / Epic | Score off serves, shut down enemy spikes |
| Haikyuu-Inspired Power Core | Late Game | Legendary | Fast tempo offense around a top setter |
| Full Mythic Meta Lineup | Endgame | Mythic / Secret | Maximum stats in every position |
Serve & Block Wall
- Two tall middle blockers
- Serve specialist for direct points
- Ends duels before opponents set up combos
Haikyuu-Inspired Power Core
- Elite setter boosts attack timing
- Ace outside hitter as main scorer
- Freak quick middle inspired by Karasuno tempo play
A fully upgraded Epic unit often outperforms an unleveled Legendary. Upgrade your duplicates before chasing rare pulls you cannot invest in yet.

FAQ
Q: Who are the best players in Build a Volleyball Squad?
The best players are S-tier units: top legendary spikers, ace setters with buff abilities like Toby (King of the Court), legendary all-rounders such as Shoyo (Tiny Giant Style), and rare variants of any top-tier character. These units carry duels almost on their own and should never be rerolled.
Q: Should I keep rare variants of weaker characters?
Usually yes. Rare variants come with boosted stats and often extra abilities, which can push an otherwise average character into A-tier territory. Always compare the variant's stats against your current player before deciding.
Q: How do I get more rerolls for top players?
The main sources are redeeming active codes, winning duels and completing matches, in-game events and update giveaways, and daily logins. Check the codes section regularly since new codes drop with updates and milestones.
Q: Is one legendary player enough to win duels?
No. Duels are decided by your squad's overall strength, role coverage, and special abilities. A balanced squad of six solid players wins more matches than one superstar with five weak teammates.
