There are various things to consider when you hit the court, but our Racket Rivals tier list can help you decide what rackets, spirits, and awakenings to use, all of which can have an impact on your performance. We can also tell you how to unlock new ones, so you know what to do to try and get what you're after.
You should definitely check out our Racket Rivals codes guide as well, as it's full of valuable spins that you need to get new spirits and awakenings, not to mention various other goodies that can help you reach peak performance.
Racket Rivals tier list
To keep things as simple as possible, this tier list has three sections, each ranking rackets, spirits, and awakenings in separate tables. To form these rankings, we mix our own experience with the thoughts of the community, but it's not an exact science. If we put a racket in rank D, but you enjoy using it, you shouldn't let our opinion stop you from having fun with your favorite equipment.

The way to get these is the same; you need to find the Spirits NPC and the Awakenings NPC, then use spins and rolls to unlock new ones. Of course, it all comes down to luck, so it may take some time for you to get the spirit or awakening that you're after - don't forget, you can get spins and rolls from our code guide.
How do I get more Racket Rivals rackets?
There are a couple of ways to get new rackets in Racket Rivals, and the first is to summon them by speaking to the coach and saying, "I want a new racket," and selecting the banner you want to summon from. You can also play ranked matches to earn new equipment, speak to Jack Potts, or master different spirits.
