SRPart 1

Tarkus is a confirmed SR unit from Part 1 in JoJo: Golden Spirit. His fighting style has not been published. Here’s who they are and whether they’re worth chasing at launch.

⚠️ Not verified yet: we have not checked Tarkus’s exact skills, stats or star-up path against the live game. This page covers what is confirmed — rarity, Part and fighting style — together with the source material. The full kit lands here once we can take it from the game itself rather than from a pre-release listing.

Who is Tarkus?

Tarkus is a monstrous undead knight from Part 1: Phantom Blood, dragged back from the grave by the vampire Dio to hunt the Joestars. Where other villains scheme, Tarkus simply enjoys the kill — a towering, sadistic warrior who treats a fight as sport. He is the one who cuts down Will A. Zeppeli in battle.

Fighting style: Brute strength

Tarkus fights with nothing but overwhelming physical force. He relies on raw strength and grappling, crushing and pinning opponents until they can’t move, and his revived body shrugs off punishment that would fell a living man. He is less a duelist than a wall of muscle that has to be outthought rather than overpowered.

Tarkus in Golden Spirit

• Rarity: SR
• Part: 1 (Phantom Blood)
• Fighting style: not published (no character-to-style mapping exists yet)
• Kit & stats: not verified yet — we are measuring these in game (checked August 13, 2026)

Which of the six fighting styles Tarkus belongs to has not been published; the six style effects are public, but nothing maps characters onto them. What the styles do decide is how a formation. We’ll confirm his actual skills the moment they’re public.

Should you reroll for Tarkus?

A hard-hitting SR brawler can be a useful early carry, but Golden Spirit rewards a balanced team rather than one heavy hitter, so pair him with support rather than chasing him in isolation. See the reroll guide and the tier list before you commit.
