Bushin is a notable competitor for Guilty Gear Strive. He was able to achieve first place at A.C.E 2025, seventh at Frosty Faustings XVIII 2026 and ninth at Evo Japan 2025.
The Arc World Tour 2025-2026 Finale is scheduled to take place very soon. During this big event, Arc System Works will be showcasing the patch 2.0 trailer, which will also give us a sneak peek at the next character set to join Guilty Gear Strive (who is likely either Robo-Ky or Jam). As such, Bushin has prepared a final tier list for this version of the game.
Happy Chaos sits by himself in the uppermost tier group. Based on tournament results throughout the years, Happy Chaos has clearly been one of the strongest characters in the game since he was released as a DLC fighter.
Venom, Lucy and Queen Dizzy of Season 4 are in the bottom portions of the two lowest tier categories, with Venom indicated as being the overall worst character in Guilty Gear Strive. Unika is faring along a little better than the rest of her Season 4 companions, but Unika players will still have to work hard to succeed.
Millia, Asuka, Sin and I-No are also said to be very strong at the moment. Those four, along with Happy Chaos, can reasonably expect some nerfs with the version 2.0 patch.
A.B.A has also proven to be very meta relevant right now, which is interesting since she was initially perceived as just being a counter pick character after she was first made available.
