- Build a Volleyball Squad tier list ranks all 130+ rollable players from S to D tier for duels.
- Rare variants almost always beat base versions — keep them over base copies.

- Balance beats stacking: a well-rounded six-player squad wins more duels than one superstar.
- Reroll D-tier units immediately — they actively lose you matches.
Build a Volleyball Squad Tier List Explained
With over 130 rollable players in Build a Volleyball Squad, knowing who to keep and who to reroll saves you hundreds of rerolls. This tier list ranks players by overall impact in 5-minute duels, factoring in stats, role coverage, and special abilities. Characters inspired by Haikyuu!! favorites like Hinata, Kageyama, and Oikawa appear alongside original units, each with rarity variants from Common up to Mythic and Secret.
Never reroll blind. Lock or mentally mark the players you're keeping first, then only reroll your weakest slots. A rare variant of a mid-tier character often outperforms the base version of a stronger one.
The ranking criteria below shows how each tier is judged:
| Tier | Label | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| S | Must Keep | Game-changing stats, carry duels alone, never reroll |
| A | Strong Keepers | Core of most winning squads, keep unless pushing all-S |
| B | Solid Fillers | Hold roster spots early, reroll when better options arrive |
| C | Replace When Possible | Lose points in duels, temporary placeholders only |
| D | Instant Reroll | Weakest rolls, actively lose you matches |
Full Tier Rankings: S to D
Here is the complete tier breakdown by role and rarity, based on duel performance across early, mid, and late game.
| Tier | Player Archetype | Role | Why It Ranks Here |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Top legendary spikers | Outside Hitter | Highest damage output, wins rallies outright |
| S | Ace setters with buff abilities | Setter | Pinpoint tosses boost spiker damage |
| S | Rare variants of top-tier characters | Any | Boosted stats plus extra abilities |
| S | Legendary all-rounders | Any | Strong in every phase of the match |
| A | High-rarity outside hitters | Outside Hitter | Consistent spike scoring |
| A | Elite middle blockers | Middle Blocker | Shut down enemy spikes at the net |
| A | High-rarity liberos | Libero | Top-tier dig and receive consistency |
| A | Base versions of S-tier legends | Any | Same kit, lower stats than rare variants |
| B | Mid-rarity spikers | Outside Hitter | Decent damage, replaceable |
| B | Standard setters | Setter | Functional but no buffs |
| B | Mid-rarity defenders | Libero | Reliable early, outscaled later |
| C | Low-rarity blockers | Middle Blocker | Lose net battles vs. epics |
| C | Low-stat all-rounders | Any | Weakest link in most rotations |
| D | Lowest-rarity bench players | Any | Instant reroll targets |
S-Tier Cores
- Legendary spikers with quick-attack speed
- Ace setters like Toby (King of the Court)
- Shoyo (Tiny Giant Style) middles
- Any rare variant of a legend
A-Tier Keepers
- Toru (Great Setter) balanced stats
- Elite blockers and liberos
- Base versions of legendary units
- Epic units with defensive abilities
Reroll Targets
- Low-rarity duplicates
- Weak all-rounders with no variant value
- Common-role bench filler
- Any unit losing you net points
A fully upgraded Epic unit often outperforms an unleveled Legendary. Compare actual stats before benching your invested units for fresh rare pulls.
Best Team Comps by Stage
Tier placement only matters inside a working composition. These proven lineups match your progression stage, from first roll to endgame.
| Comp | Stage | Rarity | Core 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 spikes |
| Haikyuu-Inspired Power Core | Late Game | Legendary | Fast tempo offense around elite setter |
| Full Mythic Meta Lineup | Endgame | Mythic / Secret | Raw stat dominance in every slot |
Serve & Block Wall
- Setter + two tall middle blockers
- Serve specialist for direct points
- Opposite hitter and libero support
- Ends duels fast before combos form
Power Core
- Elite setter boosts attack timing
- Ace outside hitter as main scorer
- Freak quick middle for tempo spikes
- Flexible sixth slot for coverage
Lock a true setter first. Even the best spikers whiff without clean tosses, so secure a high-rarity setter before stacking hitters.
How to Apply the Tier List: Reroll Steps
Follow this workflow to turn tier knowledge into a stronger squad without wasting rerolls.
Audit Your Roster
Compare each of your six players against the tier table above. Mark anything B-tier or below as a reroll candidate.
Lock Your Keepers
Lock or note your S and A-tier players so rerolls never touch them. Keep rare variants over base versions.
Reroll Weakest Slots First
Spend rerolls on your lowest tier slot, and stop the moment you land a high-rarity player. Spread rerolls across positions rather than dumping into one slot.
Fill Role Gaps
Ensure you cover setter, spikers, blockers, and libero. A balanced A-tier squad beats an unbalanced one with a single S-tier star.
Time Big Rolls Around Updates
Save rerolls for update drops when new, stronger players enter the pool — rolling early gives you a shot at fresh top-tier units.
Rerolls roll a new player for a slot. Refreshes change the pool you roll from. Use refreshes when the pool has nothing you want; use rerolls when targeting a specific upgrade.
Duels Checklist for Climbing
Tier lists win drafts, but habits win matches. Run this checklist every session.
Win More Duels:
- Secure a high-rarity setter before stacking hitters
- Front-load tall blockers against the enemy's main spiker
- Score early with aggressive serves, then play safe
- Reroll D-tier players immediately after each session
- Redeem active codes for extra rerolls before rolling
Replay your duels and identify which positions lose points. Reroll those players first — that's where free wins hide.
FAQ
Q: How often does the Build a Volleyball Squad tier list change?
Hideaway Studio updates the game frequently with new characters and rarity variants, pushing the roster past 130 units. Expect tier shifts after each major update drop, especially when new legendary or mythic units enter the roll pool.
Q: Should I keep a rare variant of a weak character?
Usually yes. Rare variants come with boosted stats and often extra abilities, which can push an average character into A-tier territory. Compare the variant's stats against your current player before deciding.
Q: What is the single best position to prioritize in the tier list?
Setter. A high-rarity setter with buff abilities dramatically improves every spiker on your roster, and clean tosses are the foundation of all offense in duels.
Q: Do mythic units make team composition irrelevant?
Largely, yes. Once you fill all six slots with mythic-tier units, raw stats dominate over synergy. Just keep at least one true setter for consistency.
