How to Get Chara (Cursed Child) in Jump Showdown

by

The Cursed Child, more commonly known as Chara, is one of the rarest and most exciting unlockable characters in Jump Showdown.

She isn’t just another skin or cosmetic – Chara comes with her own boss fight, unique mechanics, and a chance-based unlock system that makes her highly desirable.

Players chase after her not only because of her rarity, but also for the bragging rights that come with finally unlocking her.

This guide will break down who Chara is, how the boss fight works, the exact unlock methods, drop rates, and some strategies to maximize your chances of adding her to your roster.

Who is Chara in Jump Showdown?

Chara, officially titled Cursed Child, is the fifth major character added to the game.

She appears as a humanoid boss and is known for:

  • High mobility: She moves fast and can close gaps quickly.

  • Strong offensive skills: Her attacks deal significant damage if you’re not careful.

  • Finisher potential: Some of her moves are designed to punish players who underestimate her.

Chara in Jump Showdown

Unlike other characters that can be unlocked through normal progression, Chara requires you to participate in her boss fight event and rely on both skill and luck to obtain her.

How to Unlock Chara (Cursed Child) in Jump Showdown

There are two main methods to unlock Chara:

1. Free Method (Boss Fight Spawn)

Chara has a chance to spawn every 20 minutes inside a private server.

Once she spawns, you and anyone in the server must fight her in the Cursed Child Boss Fight.

After defeating her, there is a 25% chance that you will unlock Chara.

If you fail, you typically receive emotes as a consolation reward.

This method requires patience, timing, and repeated attempts. Even if you beat her multiple times, you may not unlock Chara due to the RNG system.

2. Paid Method (Robux Shortcut)

For 500 Robux, you can trigger Chara’s spawn immediately by interacting with a specific NPC.

Once spawned, you’ll fight the same boss battle.

The unlock rate is still 25%, meaning you may spend Robux and still not get her.

This method is faster but expensive. It’s mainly for players who don’t want to wait through multiple spawn cycles or are willing to gamble with Robux.

Drop Rates and Rewards

  • Unlock chance: 25% per successful boss fight.

  • Default reward if you fail: 2 emotes.

  • Spawn timer: Every 20 minutes in private servers.

  • Paid shortcut: Costs 500 Robux but does not improve the unlock chance.

This system is what makes Chara so rare – many players fight her repeatedly without success, which increases her prestige when you finally unlock her.

Tips to Get Chara Faster

1. Play on a private server

Public servers can get chaotic, and you risk missing the spawn timer or having other players interfere.

A private server gives you full control of timing.

2. Track the 20-minute cycle

Set a timer so you don’t miss the potential spawn window. Many players waste hours by not keeping track.

3. Team up with friends

While you can solo Chara, she is tough. Bringing friends makes the fight quicker and more reliable.

4. Focus on high damage

ome players believe being among the top damage dealers during the fight slightly improves your unlock odds.

Whether or not that’s guaranteed, doing more damage ensures victory anyway.

5. Save Robux for emergencies

If you’re short on time, consider using the 500 Robux shortcut.

But don’t rely on it too heavily, since the chance system remains the same.

What Happens When You Unlock Chara

  • You permanently add the Cursed Child character to your roster.
  • Chara comes with her own unique animations, attacks, and style, making her stand out from other characters.
  • If you fail to unlock her after a fight, you still get emotes, so your effort isn’t wasted.

Final Thoughts

Unlocking Chara in Jump Showdown is a test of patience and persistence.

Whether you choose the free grind method or the Robux shortcut, luck is a huge factor since the drop rate is locked at 25%.

The best strategy is to grind on private servers, fight her consistently, and eventually the odds will swing in your favor.

For many players, finally unlocking Chara isn’t just about her gameplay value – it’s a badge of honor that shows your dedication.
