All 33 Badges in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Spirit

Badges are gear pieces you equip on your characters in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Spirit. Each one raises stats such as Attack, Defense and HP, and many also carry a skill of their own, so the right badges can make a team much stronger. They come in Rare, Epic and Legendary tiers, and the strongest effects come from wearing several matching pieces at once. Knowing how sets, crafting and promotion fit together makes it easier to decide which badges are worth chasing.

How Golden Spirit Badges Work

Each character has four badge slots, and the badges you place in them shape that character's stats and skills. Every badge belongs to one of the three tiers, and the tier also decides how the badge is made.

How Badge Sets and Set Bonuses Work

Badges that belong to the same set work together, and each set has its own set skill. Set skills don't wait for a full set. Every one works with a single piece, and each matching piece you add makes it stronger, up to four.

Ermes shows how much that growth matters. Its skill only works on melee characters, and it lowers the Defense of nearby enemies, stacking up to four times. Each stack is worth 1% with one piece, so the most it can reach is 4%. With four pieces, each stack is worth 8%, which lifts the maximum to 32%.

The Giorno set shows the same growth across a whole team. With one piece, its skill gives every ally a shield worth 2% of the wearer's maximum HP, and with four pieces that shield grows to 8%. The shield and an Attack boost arrive when a battle starts and each time the wearer uses an Ultimate, the character's big special move.

How to Get Golden Spirit Badges

Epic and Rare badges come from random crafting in the Forge, which mostly gives Rare and sometimes Epic. Legendary badges take more work. A Legendary piece is forged from 150 Refined Iron, 30 Gold Ingot, 1 Rawstone and that set's blueprint, so you need a blueprint for every set you want.

Most Legendary blueprints aren't sold in any store. The Giorno blueprint can be bought, for 6,000 Challenge Coins in the Boss Store or 200 Monthly Pass Tokens.

Before you spend materials on any badge, read its activation condition. A badge that never triggers on your characters wastes everything you put into it.

How to Promote Badges and Open Gem Sockets

Promotion is how a badge grows after you've made it. You feed in duplicate copies of the same badge, and it gains stronger stat bonuses, special skills and gem sockets. Higher promotions open more sockets.

Dismantling a badge can give you its gem, but that step can't be undone. Before you break down a copy, check whether you still need it for promotion.

Best Golden Spirit Badges for Each Playstyle

There's no single best badge, because the right one depends on how your character fights. Start with whether the character fights up close or from range, then check whether they rely on basic attacks, skills or Ultimates.

For melee characters, Kenzou is a solid pick for basic attacks, since its effect boosts critical hit chance. Akira Otoishi raises critical damage, but it also makes the wearer take 20% more damage, so save it for a character who can take hits. Rangler suits melee characters who lean on Ultimates, because it makes their Ultimate more effective. Anubis fits basic-attack builds that lean on attack speed.

Caesar is built for ranged characters who rely on basic attacks, but it isn't a fit for every ranged character. Koichi Hirose suits ranged characters who lean on skills, since each skill cast adds to its skill damage. Johngalli A. pays off early in a fight, since ranged skills hit harder while enemies are still above 55% HP.

Against bosses, steady effects that work all fight long tend to pay off, such as Caesar's Defense penetration on a ranged basic attacker. Boss fights also depend on enemy HP, fight length and how well the boss resists crowd control, so the setup that wins one fight may not win the next.

Giorno is the first pick for team support, since its effects reach the whole party. Tonio is the healing pick, because it boosts the healing your characters receive. Will makes existing crowd control last longer, so it pairs well with characters who stun or pin enemies in place.

Jonathan is the team-first tank pick, since it cuts the damage taken by nearby allies while the wearer stays above half HP. Secco suits a tank who fights in short battles, because its big damage reduction comes early and returns after its cooldown. Tarukus is for melee control teams, since it lowers the Effect Resistance of nearby enemies, the stat that helps them resist crowd control.
