Basketball: Zero Tier List (2026) — Best Styles & Zones Ranked

By Money Lord — Founder & Editor | Updated: August 16, 2026

Basketball: Zero is one of the most competitive basketball games on Roblox, and picking the right Style and Zone combination is what separates casual players from court dominators. This tier list ranks Styles and Zones as of August 16, 2026, following the TATLIS V2 STYLE event.

Your build — the combination of a Style and a Zone — determines your ceiling, so we rank both separately. If you're new to the game, start with our Basketball: Zero hub page, and grab spins from our Basketball: Zero codes list — the codes page owns the full active and expired tables, so we don't repeat them here.

Where does Tatlis V2 rank?

We are not giving Tatlis V2 a tier placement, because there is no honest basis for one yet. The Style is real and it is live: it headlines the TATLIS V2 STYLE event, which Roblox's own virtual-events feed lists as running from August 15, 2026 at 16:30 UTC to August 17, 2026 at 19:20 UTC, hosted by the Current. group alongside a Limited Shop and a new map.

What is verified about it as of August 16, 2026:

• It is a Limited Style, described in-game as belonging to the co-creator of Basketball: Zero.
• It rolls from style spins at a 0.25% chance, or 1% on Lucky Spins — identical odds to the original Tatlis.
• The event pits Tatlis V1 against Tatlis V2, with V1 returning for the window.

What is not verified: its moveset, its rarity band, its strengths and weaknesses, and its meta standing. The community wiki page for Tatlis V2 was still an unfilled stub on August 16, 2026 with every one of those fields marked TBA. The Style has been playable for less than two days, which is not long enough for a competitive consensus to form. Any site publishing a confident Tatlis V2 ability list or tier placement today is filling in blanks it cannot have. We will rank it once there is something real to rank it on.

S Tier — Best Styles in Basketball: Zero

These 3 Styles sit at the top on raw performance. All three are currently unobtainable — they are event Limiteds that have been retired. They are listed here because you will still play against them and should know what you are facing, not because you can go get one.

Psychic — unobtainable

Psychic is the most complete Style in the game. It is a Limited from the Cyber vs Psychic event, based on Saiki K, and it is no longer rollable — the community wiki has flagged it unobtainable since the event closed. Its kit pairs a practically unblockable base shot with what is widely described as the best pass in the game (Teleport Pass), plus a strong awakening.

Its documented weakness is that its Confusion ability cannot be used on the opponent carrying the ball, so holding the cooldown for Teleport Pass is almost always correct, leaving Confusion close to dead weight. If you rolled Psychic while the event was open, run it. If you did not, there is currently no way to get it, and any guide telling you to "invest in" Psychic is out of date.

Basketball God — unobtainable

Basketball God is a Limited Style based on the God of Basketball from Regular Show, and it is also flagged unobtainable. It carries exactly two base moves: Reverse Dunk (C, 70-second cooldown, only inside the three-point line, grants I-frames but is blockable) and Shammgod (V, 70-second cooldown, an ankle-breaking move with two uses before cooldown and no I-frames if stolen from behind).

Its awakening, Real Basketball, requires that you do not have the ball, and unlocks the one-time Dunk Over Heaven. Offensively it is excellent; its documented weakness is a near-total lack of defensive tools.

Chrollo — unobtainable

Chrollo is the creator's personal Style, released for the Chrollo vs Tatlis event and now retired. The community wiki's own tier list places it alone in its top band, and it is the one placement on this page that essentially nobody disputes.

Creator's Dribble (C, 65 seconds) is a dribbling dash usable twice for large distance gain, granting I-frames, stunning a nearby opponent on first use, and auto-layup near the hoop. Its second base move is context-sensitive: off-ball it is Pass!, which forces a teammate to pass to you with no visual cue, and on-ball it becomes GREEN!, a shooting ability usable from anywhere on the court. That on-ball/off-ball split is what makes Chrollo so hard to defend.

A Tier — Excellent Styles

A Tier Styles are strong picks that perform well in competitive play. Two of them — Emperor and Ace — are among the very few high-end Styles you can still actually roll.

Emperor — obtainable

Emperor is a Miracle-rarity Style based on Seijuro Akashi from Kuroko no Basuke, and it is still rollable: 0.25% on normal style spins, around 2% on Lucky Spins. Its personalised Zone is Emperor Vision. It emphasises defence with strong dribbling and passing, and the wiki describes it as having no common weakness, being instead heavily skill-dependent.

Ace — obtainable

Ace is a Mythic-rarity Style and one of the more accessible high-end picks: it rolls at a 0.5% chance, as a 1-in-4 pick from the four Mythic Styles. It has been revamped, and the updated crossovers create reliable separation while its mobility gets you to your spots. Finishing at the rim is dependable rather than elite. Alongside Emperor, this is the realistic target for a player building from scratch today.

Tatlis — Limited; returning during the TATLIS V2 event

Tatlis is the co-creator's Limited Style from the Chrollo vs Tatlis event, normally flagged unobtainable — but the live TATLIS V2 STYLE event (August 15–17, 2026) explicitly brings Tatlis V1 back to face the new V2. If you want it, that window is the reason to spin now.

Its own wiki entry is blunter than most tier lists: it emphasises offence with exceptional dribbling, stunning and speed, and excels in 1v1, but its listed meta status is that it is overrated and easily countered by opponents who simply have teammates, because the gameplay is predictable. The wiki's tier list nonetheless ranks it in its second band. We keep it at A Tier as a middle reading of two sources that openly conflict.

Symbiote — unobtainable

Symbiote is a Limited from the Spider vs Symbiote event, based on Venom, with Darkness as its personalised Zone. It is a defensive playmaker with strong stealing and decent offence, and the wiki calls it one of the best Styles in the game. Its documented weakness is that both of its steals can be dribbled through. Retired and not currently rollable.

Cyber — unobtainable

Cyber is the other half of the Cyber vs Psychic event, based on David Martinez from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. It is an offensive point scorer with exceptional stealing, speed and crowd control, built around a Psycho Bar — and its key weakness is that draining that bar leaves you stunned and open to steals. Also retired. Note that an OG Cyber variant exists for players who owned Cyber before its revamp; that variant is permanently unobtainable.

Spider — unobtainable

Spider is based on Miles Morales, released opposite Symbiote, with Senses as its personalised Zone. It is an offensive playmaker with good stealing potential and a decent offence/defence mix. Its documented weakness is a lack of I-frames on certain abilities, which makes getting past defenders harder than its reputation suggests. The wiki rates it "decent" rather than elite. Retired.

B Tier — Good Styles

B Tier Styles hold their own in casual play but show limitations against skilled opponents. The community wiki's tier list places Phantom, Clutch, Playmaker and Quick in this band. All four are standard-pool Styles rather than event Limiteds, which means they are ones you can actually roll — a real point in their favour over several retired S Tier picks.

If you are running one, master its specific strength rather than playing it as an all-rounder, and pair it with the strongest Zone you own. A good Zone closes more of the gap than most players expect.

C Tier — Average Styles

The wiki's tier list puts Fetch and Chuck at the bottom. These are older kits with predictable dribbling, limited scoring options and not enough defensive value to compensate. Treat them as a starting point, not a destination.

Grab spins from our Basketball: Zero codes page to speed up progression, and see our free Robux guide for ways to fund Lucky Spins. Note that the wiki's tier list carries its own warning that it may be outdated and is being remade, so treat these bands as a guide rather than gospel.

Zone Tier List — Best Zones in Basketball: Zero

Zones are passive abilities that layer on top of your Style to form your complete build. Picking the right Zone matters as much as picking the right Style. The rankings below cover the eight Zones we rate most often — note that the game has well over thirty Zones in total, so this is a shortlist, not a complete roster.

S+ Tier: Emperor Vision

Emperor Vision is a Miracle-rarity Zone released alongside the Emperor Style, rolled at 0.25% on normal zone spins and 1% on lucky zone spins. Its in-game description is precise: "25% Chance nearby opponents miss shots, whole teams dribbling speed is increased, extra dribble, impossible to be ankle broken."

Standing near an opponent while it is active gives them a 25% chance to miss a normal shot — their screen reads "FEAR THE EMPEROR." while yours reads "THEY SHALL FEAR YOU." Note the buff we previously missed: the dribbling speed increase applies to your whole team, not just you, which makes this a genuine playmaking Zone rather than a purely selfish one. It works best on Styles that can close distance to trigger the aura, such as Quick, Flash or Ace.

The Zone we were missing: 777

777 is a Mythic Zone released with the Jackpot Style in the April 4, 2025 JACKPOT update, and the wiki's tier list ranks it at the very top — above Emperor Vision. On activation it grants one of three outcomes at equal 33% probability, re-rolled each time you activate:

• BLUE FLASH — increased movement speed.
• YELLOW CARD — a large increase in shooting range, significantly higher than other range-boosting effects.
• 777 — both of the above, plus two extra dribbles.

That variance is the trade-off: a third of your activations give you the best single effect in the game, and a third give you a speed boost you may not need. It rolls at 0.5% on normal zone spins and 5% via lucky zone spins.

S Tier: Perfectionist, Real Basketball, Posterizer

Perfectionist boosts dribble speed, movement speed and shooting range — the most well-rounded Zone in the game, and it works with virtually any Style. The wiki ranks it a band above Emperor Vision.

Real Basketball gives unblockable dunks, increased shooting range and a speed boost, turning strong finishers into near-guaranteed scorers at the rim. Also ranked above Emperor Vision on the wiki's list.

Posterizer grants unblockable layups and dunks at close range plus a speed boost. More specialised than the two above, and the wiki actually rates it lower than we do — treat our S as the optimistic read.

A Tier: Gold Vision, Street Dribbler

Gold Vision grants dribble speed, an extra dribble and improved pass speed — effectively a budget Emperor Vision that keeps the most important buff. The wiki ranks it higher than we do, in its second band.

Street Dribbler enhances ball-handling with flashier, harder-to-read dribble animations, pairing best with Styles that already have strong dribble packages.

B Tier: Chaos

Chaos offers a mix of utility buffs that never quite match the focused power of the Zones above it. Worth noting the wiki rates Chaos considerably higher than B.

C Tier: Dime

Dime is the weakest Zone here, and the one ranking both we and the community wiki agree on. Its passing and assist buffs are marginal, and running it costs you far more in scoring, dribbling or defence than it returns. Replace it as soon as you roll anything better.

How We Ranked These Styles and Zones

We rank on 4 factors: scoring potential, defensive impact, dribbling and mobility, and unique ability value. For Zones we weight raw buff power and synergy with top Styles, with extra dribble weighted heavily because it converts directly into space and scoring chances.

On sourcing. For the August 16, 2026 pass we re-checked every Style and Zone named on this page against the Basketball: Zero community wiki, and confirmed all of them exist: the nine Styles ranked here and all eight Zones are real, and the specific moves we name — Creator's Dribble, GREEN!, Shammgod, Reverse Dunk, Teleport Pass — are documented movesets, not our invention. We also verified obtainability, which is where this page had drifted furthest: six of the nine Styles ranked here are retired Limiteds you can no longer roll, and the page previously recommended one of them as your primary investment.

Where we deliberately stop. Tatlis V2 gets no tier placement because its moveset is not yet documented anywhere we can verify. The wiki's own tier list carries a notice that it may be outdated and is being remade, so where our read and theirs differ we flag the disagreement rather than quietly picking whichever makes us sound more certain.

Balance patches, new Style releases and Zone reworks shift these rankings constantly.
