The September 2025 meta favors quick movement, smart positioning, and clutch defensive plays. Phantom, Time Stop, and Teleport are the standout winners, while Freeze, Vortex, and Invisibility remain excellent backup choices. Lower-tier abilities still have their place for creative players.

S-Tier: The God-Tier Abilities (Meta-Defining)

These are the abilities that completely shape the game. If you have one, you’re already at a massive advantage.

  • Phantom – Now with more reliable invincibility frames, Phantom makes dodging even the fastest shots look effortless. Mastering it means becoming nearly untouchable.
  • Time Stop – Stops the ball cold, setting up devastating plays. Still one of the best counters to high-speed balls and a must-have for competitive players.
  • Teleport – With latency fixes, this is now smoother than ever. Perfect for escaping danger or surprising opponents, making it essential for both attack and defense.

A-Tier: The Powerhouses (Strong & Reliable)

These abilities may not define the meta like S-Tier picks, but they’re consistently strong and can win games.

  • Freeze – Recently buffed, Freeze slows the pace and opens up opportunities to control the match.
  • Vortex – Trending hard this month, Vortex lets you control the ball’s path, forcing mistakes and creating pressure.
  • Invisibility – A deadly offensive option. Disappearing mid-match throws off opponents and sets you up for sneaky, game-winning hits.

B-Tier: The Situational Contenders (Good, But Not Top-Tier)

Useful in the right situations, but not as reliable across the board.

  • Forcefield – Still solid defensively, but new counters have lowered its standing.
  • Supersonic – Fantastic for fast-paced games, but risky if you miss your timing.
  • Dash – Not as versatile as Teleport, but still great for quick movement and unpredictability.

C-Tier: The Niche Picks (Use with Caution)

These can work, but most of the time you’re better off with something stronger.

  • Fireball – Fun but too slow and predictable against skilled opponents.
  • Shadow Step – Short range and predictable movement keep it outclassed by Teleport and even Dash.
