JoJo: Golden Spirit Reroll Guide and Best Characters to Aim For

How the starter banners, pity, and account reset work, plus the SSR units worth chasing on a fresh account.

How the starter banners, pity, and account reset work, plus the SSR units worth chasing on a fresh account.

Rerolling in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Spirit means restarting on a fresh guest account until your opening summons hand you a strong SSR. The game moves fast in the early hours, so a single loop only takes a few minutes, and the whole point is to lock in a marquee unit like Caesar before you commit to a save.

Quick answer: Reroll only if you want a specific SSR in your pocket. Clear the tutorial to Quest Level 2, claim your mail, redeem the exchange codes, pull the Regular banner first and then the Novice banner, and delete the account through the User Center if you are unhappy. Aim for Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli, Koichi Hirose, or Ermes Costello.

Should you reroll in Golden Spirit?

For most players, no. Golden Spirit does not punish you for skipping the reroll grind. Plenty of R and SR units stay relevant at the top levels of play, so a fresh account is rarely defined by the one SSR it opens with. The game also hands out summons quickly through story clears, events, and daily content, so your box fills out fast without spending.

There is another reason to relax. A single SSR does not make an account. Units get much stronger through duplicates and their ability tree, and those upgrades come from long-term progression rather than your first pull. If you enjoy optimizing a starting roster or your first summons are poor, a quick reroll is fine. Just treat it as a convenience, not a requirement.


One reroll loop takes 5 to 10 minutes

Play through the opening tutorial, including the scripted beginner 10-summon, until you reach Chapter 2, “Bucciarati is Coming.”

Spend your currency on the banners. Pull the Regular banner first for a random SSR, then move to the Novice banner to lock a targeted one.

If you are not happy with the result, reset and start again with a fresh guest account, which is covered below.

Note: The Limited Recruitment banner featuring Jotaro Kujo stays locked until Quest Level 3, so it is not part of a fast reroll loop.


How the two starter banners work

The reroll revolves around two permanent banners. Novice Recruitment is the one that guarantees a specific unit, while Regular Recruitment is a wider pool with no wishlist. The efficient play is to secure one SSR from Regular, then use Novice to guarantee a second, targeted SSR for a double-SSR start.

BannerKey rules
Novice RecruitmentPick a wishlist (Caesar, Mohammed Avdol, Koichi). Guarantees your chosen SSR within 30 pulls, then disappears once obtained.
Regular Recruitment2.00% base SSR rate (2.85% including the guarantee), 20% SR, 78% R. No wishlist, larger character pool.

Every recruitment also grants Basic Chips x60 and one random character alongside the rarity roll. The Regular pool includes Caesar, Koichi, Giorno Giovanna, Bruno Bucciarati, Leone Abbacchio, Diavolo, Ermes Costello, and Foo Fighters.

Pity and the SSR selector

Beyond the Novice guarantee, the standard recruitment pool has its own safety nets. These milestones matter more for long-term account building than for a fast reroll, but they explain why chasing one exact opener is often unnecessary.

Best SSR characters to aim for

If you do reroll, these are the units worth targeting. Each is flexible and slots into a wide range of teams, which is exactly what you want from an opening pull.

CharacterWhy they are worth it
Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli (SSR)Top of the SSR rankings. Strong AoE damage with Hamon pressure, the standout target for a strong start.
Koichi Hirose (SSR)Strong wave damage plus support utility and control, ideal for clustered fights.
Ermes Costello (SSR)The best tank in the game and a reliable frontline anchor.
Cioccolata (SSR)A powerful debuffer built around poison and Mold Infection across the board.
Pesci (R)Highly recommended early-game single-target DPS despite the low rarity.

Jonathan Joestar, Giorno Giovanna, and Diavolo are also strong SSR pulls if they show up, so do not discard an account just because it missed Caesar.

Redeeming the active codes

Redeem codes before you summon so the extra currency counts toward your pulls. Open Profile, tap the Settings gear, then Exchange Code, and enter each one exactly as written. The following codes are currently redeemable.

  • PREJOJO2026
  • JOJOGS2026
  • JOJORPG2026

Resetting your account to try again

To reroll, you delete the guest account rather than reinstall. Go to Profile, then Settings, then User Center, and choose Delete Account. Once the account is removed, the game drops you back at a clean start, so you can run the tutorial again and repeat the loop from Chapter 2.

When you finally land a start you are happy with, do the opposite of resetting. Use Account Binding in the User Center to link your progress to an account service so the roster is saved. That binding step is how you confirm the account is kept rather than wiped on your next reroll attempt.
