Monarch Jotaro is made by getting Jotaro, also shown as Star Crusader, then spending Trait Rerolls on him until the 0.1% Monarch trait lands or the listed pity point forces it.
This chase is resource-heavy, so the smart play is to secure the unit first, build a reroll stash, and only then commit to the trait menu. Update 14 Part 2, released on July 28, 2026 as version 14.0p2, is the relevant update window for the codes and event rewards around this build.
What Monarch Jotaro is
| Point | Detail |
|---|---|
| Trait status | A trait applied to Jotaro / Star Crusader, not a standalone unit. |
| Listed chance | 0.1% per Trait Reroll. |
| Listed pity | Roughly 1,500 Trait Rerolls. |
| Lucky sample result | About 400 rerolls, which is luck rather than a normal target. |
Monarch Jotaro is not a separate Jotaro drop. You are chasing Jotaro, shown in the unit menu as Star Crusader, and then replacing his trait through Trait Rerolls until Monarch appears.
Get Jotaro and rerolls ready
| Code | Use |
|---|---|
| 1DayL8 | Try for Trait Rerolls, Gems, and event tokens. |
| HeavyEyes | Try for Trait Rerolls, Gems, and event tokens. |
| ExecutionPart2 | Try for Trait Rerolls, Gems, and event tokens. |
| LateBP | Try for Trait Rerolls and Memoria Shards. |
| WhoopsieDaisy | Try for Trait Rerolls and Memoria Shards. |
You need Jotaro first. If your active event or banner screen shows a 6,000 cost, budget around that live price instead of treating it as a permanent shop value.
Redeem reroll-related codes before opening the trait menu; every extra Trait Reroll matters once you commit to Monarch.

Finish the Monarch Jotaro build
KEY!
After Monarch lands, the remaining build work is stat quality, stat transfer, and Want Some Memorialia. Keep stronger rolls that raise his core performance, and use transfer to patch the line you are missing instead of draining resources back into traits.
Equip Want Some Memorialia once the unit is ready. Its value is tied to extra placements and time-stop utility: attacks from a placement beyond the initial one gain 50% more damage, and time stop can also apply nullify.
Shiny looks and skins are fine to use if you have them, but treat them as visual choices for this Monarch chase. The build requirement is the unit, the Monarch trait, usable stats, and the Memorialia.
Monarch Jotaro’s combat payoff
| Move | Effect |
|---|---|
| Just In Time | On first placement each match, time stops enemies and units for 5 seconds and deals 300% final upgraded damage to the highest-HP enemy in range. |
| Basic attacks | Inflict 2 seconds of stun; every third attack on the same enemy applies 5 seconds of time stop instead. |
| Time stop / lockout pressure | Affected enemies are slowed by 50%, take 30% more damage, and can give Jotaro a 100% damage buff for 30 seconds when he attacks them. |
| Star Platinum placement | Adds one extra placement even when placement slots are full, copies Jotaro’s stats, deals 150% of his damage, and applies his direct effects. |
| Star Platinum follow-up | When Jotaro uses attack three, Star Platinum follows with attack two for 50% more damage; its attacks bypass overshield and apply 50% slow for 10 seconds. |
| Time stop active | 60-second cooldown; time stops all enemies for 5 seconds, bypasses time stop lockout, and deals 500% damage to enemies in range. |
| Beat Down | 60-second cooldown; deals 1,000% damage to the highest-HP enemy in range, with 50% more damage if that enemy is on time stop lockout. |
| Barrage active | The main unit stops attacking while the additional placement attacks rapidly, making it a situational option rather than an always-on DPS gain. |
Jotaro is valuable because his kit stacks control and burst rather than just raw damage. The in-game DPS readout can fluctuate during testing, so judge the unit by the effects he brings: time stop, stun, slow, damage amplification, overshield bypass, and a separate Star Platinum placement.
Monarch reroll mistakes to avoid
The biggest mistake is treating Monarch like it should arrive quickly. Hundreds of rerolls can disappear before the trait lands, and the pity number is high enough that you should decide in advance whether Jotaro is worth that resource spend for your account.
Do not empty your reroll stash on placeholder units or units you do not actually plan to use. Trait Rerolls are valuable because they can build account-defining units, and Monarch is exactly the kind of target that punishes casual spending.
Also, do not plan around every older code still working. Try the reroll-related codes first, claim whatever the game accepts, and then begin rolling only when you are ready to stop the instant Monarch appears.
