Bridger Western Stand Tier List

Bridger Western lets you combine some powerful stand options with guns for some ranged JoJo meets Red Dead Redemption action. Most of the stands are quite good in PVP and it's mostly about skill, aim and positioning.

Bridger Western Best Stand Ranked

Image by Destructoid It's hard to outline the best stand in Bridger Western since most stands have high damage barrages and powerful stun moves. This is why almost all stands are really good and even those without barrages can be strong with the right gun combination. That's why this tier list assumes all stands can be good depending on skill and playstyle but tries to rank their individual power potential and flexibility. Here's a quick tier breakdown before we dive into individual stand ranking explanations:

S-Tier Time Stops vs S-Tier Combo/Skill-based Stands: While Time Stop Stands are the most powerful in general, the S-Tier Combo stands can outplay them if you're skilled enough at the specific combos or maneuvers of those stands.
A-Tier Stands: These are powerful stands that require more skill and setup than their S-Tier counterparts.
B-Tier Stands: These are situationally powerful stands that have more weaknesses than the higher tiers.
C-Tier: These are the weakest stands.

You can find a guide on how to get stands, reroll stands and more below the Tier List tables.

S-Tier Stands (Time Stop)

S-Tier Stands

Ranking Notes

Star Platinum - The World

• I prefer SPTW timestop to TW since it has a shorter windup
• The biggest problem with TW timestop is the long windup which gives your opponent more room to counter
• That said note that SPTW timestop has a lower duration and radius
• Either way time stops are incredibly strong in this game so both SPTW and TW are S-Tier
• As for why the other moves are good check out the base Star Platinum below
• SPTW is all the good stuff from base SP plus time stop and one other move

The World (Base & AU)

• TW and TWAU are about the same in power, peak overall stands, even though they have different moves
• TWAU has dual time stop options for flexibility and an auto-track move
• In contrast, TW's teleport move, long-range auto punch for R and slightly longer TS makes it better in some cases
• While both are really strong note that The World's timestop has a long windup which is its main weakness
• Still OP against most players if you know how to use it

S-Tier Stands (Combo/Skill-Based)

A-Tier Stands

Ranking Notes

King Crimson

• Amazing counter to time stop stands due to Time Erasure
• In fact it's one of the best defensive moves in the game combined with excellent mobility
• Plus you have great burst damage after Time Erasure to go with the dodges
• Very balanced moveset of offense and defense

D4C

• In a game with a lot of burst damage and stun combos Dimension Hop's damage negation is incredible defense
• You also have great damage and a ton of movement utility with the clones
• The swap variant while in Dimension Hop is great but don't spam it since experienced players will expect it

Obtainment: 100 Kills, 10 KS, be in the "Desert" area
Have a Corpse Part s pawn while you are knocked for a 10% chance to have the heart spawn and merge with you

Tusk

• Very high-skill dependent Stand due to lower movement speed and stamina drain
• But a ton of damage potential and range with Tusk 2 (Sometimes 1) with horse attack and spamming nails
• With smart uses of Glide and Jump you can dodge important moves
• Then just kite your opponent and snipe from ranged

Obtainment: Small chance from a Left Arm Corpse Part

Mandom

• Best passive PVP stand in the game for no stamina cost
• Time Rewind can help you dodge Time Stop if used at the right time
• You can reverse your HP from low to high after going aggressive and getting bursted
• Or your opponent's from high to low if they heal
• Requires practice to learn timings and tricks but is amazing with a good gun

Purple Haze

• Destroys people without stands with the poison cloud
• Incredibly annoying to deal with even with stands due to great DoT damage
• Overall if you can kite them while keeping DoTs it's some of the highest damage potential in the game
• Make sure to make good use of Stand Pilot since your own poison can hurt you

A-Tier Stands

B-Tier Stands

Ranking Notes

Star Platinum

• A decent overall stand with high damage moves
• You mainly want it for the SPTW evolution chance
• The base version has a high damage Barrage and Skull Breaker as finisher after for a near one shot
• That said, it doesn't have time stop in base so it's just a stepping stone

Hierophant Green

• Noob killer and overall very overpowered against unexperienced players
• The moves are easy to hit if you sneak to an opponent since the 20 Meter wires deal a ton of damage
• That said, that's the only competitive move and if a player knows how to play around it, HG is not the best stand

Hey Ya

• Theoretically great since you pay no stamina to use it
• You get random buffs to Dodges, Damage, Healing, Speed, Accuracy, etc.
• You cannot control them but you can play around them
• Low skill floor but also low power potential
• Great if you want an easy-to-use strong Stand
• Not the strongest but can be overall better than most Stands since there's no skill involved

Silver Chariot

• High-skill requirement here to learn the combos for one-shot potential
• That said they are hard to land and missing one gives your opponent a chance to retaliate
• If they back away and zone you, Silver Chariot becomes weaker due being less flexible with moves
• That said if you can master the combos this is a strong stand

Killer Queen

• Killer Queen can deal a lot of damage with its moves
• However the biggest problem is that it requires you to close the distance
• If you get zoned it's weak, if you can keep creating low distance between you and your opponent you can output a ton of pressure

B-Tier Stands

C-Tier Stands

Ranking Notes

Gold Experience

• Amazing for group fights due to good damage and heals
• That said it's not the best for solo fights since you'll get punished for healing if your opponent is aggressive
• Haven't tried Gold Experience Requiem so cannot say if it improves the ranking yet

Crazy Diamond

• Has impressive burst damage at close range
• That said suffers from getting zoned so you need to get close
• The heals are not as strong as Gold Experience
• This sucks because the heals are taking up space for moves that could add flexibility to CD
• Overall while it has one-shot potential the low range weakness is rough to deal with

Hermit Purple

• A great and easy-to-use addition to your kit with no stamina cost and a strong grapple move
• That said it's go low power potential even though it has no weaknesses

Tubular Bells

• Can deal a lot of damage with auto-aim
• That said you can get rushed before setting everything up and you have no defenses
• Situationally powerful if you're skilled at kiting and setting up all the balloons safely

C-Tier Stands

D-Tier Stands

Ranking Notes

20th Cenutry Boy

• Very weak power potential
• The moves are very easy to deal with

How to Get and Reroll Stands in Bridger Western

You get Stands in Bridger Western by obtaining them via either of the two methods below and then using the Stand Tool from your inventory to summon a Stand:

Method #1 - Corpse Parts: You can pick up and hold a Corpse Part for a short while to get a Stand. Corpse Parts have a chance to appear around the map and you can spot them via the loud sound with a yellow beam of light pointing to them when they appear. They only spawn with at least 3 players in a server, increasing the spawn chance the more players there are up to 25 players with a 1/40 spawn chance. You need to hold onto the Corpse Part for a while to absorb it so be careful of other players attacking you while holding it.
Method #2 - Stand Arrow Shards: These also give you a Stand and you can get them as a 0.5% chance drop from Fishing. You can buy a fishing rod and bait for 150 moola at the Tackle Bait/Fishing Goods NPC. Note that Arrow Shards are lost upon death/leaving so be sure to use them. You cannot have two stands.
Quest Stands: Some stands like the D4C have a quest requirement which you can find above in the D4C section. You cannot get these via traditional means.
How to Reroll Stands: You have to reset your stand via the Mud Witch's Hut and then find a new Corpse Part or Arrow Shard. Mud Witch's Hut is in the Swamp area and you have to bring her a Dogbane Herb to wipe your Stand which is a 4% chance item drop that can be obtained from chests that drop from encounters.
