Kaizen Binding Vow Tier List — Best Vows for PvE and PvP

This Kaizen binding vow tier list ranks every binding vow in the Roblox Jujutsu Kaisen-inspired game Kaizen, from the damage monsters at the top to the situational picks at the bottom. Binding vows are risk-reward pacts: each one gives you a buff and a debuff, and the best vow for your build is the one whose penalty you barely feel.

Vows also scale. Most vows have three tiers that improve as you invest in them — for example, a Grade 4 vow like Strong Hands goes from +2% melee damage at Tier 1 to +4% at Tier 3, with a growing cursed-damage penalty. The rankings below assume leveled vows and judge each vow by its full package: the size of the buff, how painful the debuff is, and how many builds can actually use it.

Kaizen Binding Vow Tier List (S to C)

S Tier — The best vows in the game.
Glass Cannon Contract, Curse Extermination Oath

Glass Cannon Contract provides the single biggest damage buff overall. The defense penalty is serious, but the tradeoff is worth it if you can take enemies down quickly — and in most PvE content, you can. Curse Extermination Oath gives a massive buff to damage dealt to NPCs, making it one of the best vows in the game for farming, raids, and general PvE progression.

A Tier — Excellent vows for most builds.
Vow of One-Sided Slaughter, Overcharged, Sorcerer’s Will, Strong Hands, Berserk

Vow of One-Sided Slaughter boosts combo damage and shines in PvP, where frequent hit windows and resets let it pay back quickly. Overcharged increases damage while holding skills, making it a must-use for skill-based builds — though it is risky in PvP, where opponents punish charge-ups. Sorcerer’s Will buffs cursed energy damage substantially (up to +4% CE damage at Tier 3) and is the pick for ability-based builds. Strong Hands is the best vow for melee builds (up to +4% melee damage at Tier 3). Berserk increases damage and self-heals when HP falls low, making it a strong clutch and sustain option.

B Tier — Solid, situational picks.
Swordsman, Fragile Resolve, Movement Master, Perfect Block Master, Block Breaker, Cursed Efficiency

Swordsman boosts weapon damage (up to +4% at Tier 3) at the cost of CE and melee damage — good for weapon builds only. Fragile Resolve trades a small defense penalty for walk speed and attack speed (up to +5.5% walk speed and +10% attack speed at Tier 3), pairing well with aggressive melee builds. Cursed Efficiency is the energy-management pick for extended battles and raids. Movement Master, Perfect Block Master, and Block Breaker are niche tools that shine in specific matchups rather than every fight.

C Tier — Early-game or niche only.
Runner, Tank, Last Stand Oath, Vow of Last Stand

Runner boosts walk speed and dash range but trims all damage types, and Tank trades walk speed and global damage for defense (up to +7% defense at Tier 3). Last Stand variants increase damage when low on health — useful as a safety net, and the most universally useful pick for some CE builds, but outclassed by the S and A tiers for raw output. Heavenly Restriction variants are generally considered traps unless you have a very narrow build plan, since the marginal buffs rarely justify disabling a major mechanic.

Which Binding Vow Should You Pick?

For PvE damage, Glass Cannon Contract or Curse Extermination Oath are the default answers. For PvP, Vow of One-Sided Slaughter is the safest high-value pick, with Glass Cannon for aggressive builds.

For melee builds, Strong Hands; for ability builds, Sorcerer’s Will; for skill-holding builds, Overcharged. If you are still early in progression and cannot access the higher rarities, Sorcerer’s Will and Fragile Resolve are solid low-rarity picks whose small improvements compound over many runs.

Whatever you choose, match the vow to the build: a vow whose debuff hits your main damage type is worse than a lower-tier vow whose penalty you ignore. Keep an eye on the regular updates before implementing the next pull.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best binding vow in Kaizen?
Glass Cannon Contract, for raw damage, and Curse Extermination Oath, for PvE. Both sit in S tier across current lists.

Do binding vows have downsides?
Yes — every vow trades a buff for a debuff. Glass Cannon cuts defense, Tank cuts speed and damage, and weapon/melee/CE vows each trim the damage types you are not specializing in. Pick the vow whose penalty misses your build.

What is the difference between PvE and PvP vow picks?
PvE favors raw damage (Glass Cannon, Curse Extermination, Overcharged), while PvP favors vows that pay back in short windows (One-Sided Slaughter) and sustain tools (Berserk, Last Stand). Overcharged is strong in PvE but risky in PvP.

How do binding vow tiers work?
Most vows scale across three tiers as you invest in them, improving the buff (and usually the penalty) at each step. Check a vow’s Tier 3 numbers before judging it, since Tier 1 values understate the good vows.
