Are you looking to get the most powerful abilities in Roblox’s Blade Ball? Look no further! Our comprehensive tier list will guide you on which abilities to prioritize with your hard-earned coins. With the recent update, including the addition of Doppelganger, we’ve split the ability into two categories: Doppelganger (Not Upgraded) and Doppelganger (Upgraded). This guide will help you make the best decisions for your in-game strategy.
Blade Ball is an intense game where players deflect a homing ball to eliminate others. When the ball turns red, it targets you, and failing to deflect it results in your defeat and rewards the attacker with coins. These coins are crucial for purchasing various abilities that provide tactical advantages. With the latest Blade Ball 4.9.5 update, two new abilities have been added: Doppelganger (Not Upgraded) and Doppelganger (Upgraded).
Here’s our detailed tier list of the best abilities in Blade Ball, categorized from S-Tier to D-Tier, to help you decide which abilities are worth your investment.
