Adventure Time RPG Characters: Heroes & Unlock Guide

Which Adventure Time RPG Characters Can You Play?

Finn, Jake, Princess Bubblegum, Marceline, and Banana Guard are playable Adventure Time RPG characters in the Roblox beta. Knowing your heroes, equipped buddies, and collectible skins helps you focus your Coins and upgrades on the rewards you actually want. This Adventure Time RPG characters guide walks you through that lineup, collection milestones, equipment, and the Halloween rewards available or scheduled for October 2026.

The game lets you take familiar faces into adventures, fight bosses, collect loot, and tackle the Dungeon Train. Your character is one part of that setup: weapons and buddies also have their own progression, while skins add another collection to pursue.

Here are five named playable characters in the October 22 beta lineup:

Character	Place in the playable lineup	Related content to watch
Finn	Playable hero named in the launch update	Adventures, weapon progression, and character collection
Jake	Playable hero named in the launch update	Zombie Jake is included in the upcoming Premium Halloween Bundle
Princess Bubblegum	Playable hero named in the launch update	Limited-time quests offer a Lab coat skin
Marceline	Playable hero named in the launch update	Adventures, equipment, and character collection
Banana Guard	Playable character named alongside the main heroes	Zombie Banana Guard is included in the upcoming Premium Halloween Bundle

Start by picking a character you want to spend time with, then pay attention to the equipment you use during adventures. Keep your character choice and your upgrade decisions connected: strengthen the weapons and buddies you actively bring into fights before spreading resources across a wider collection.

For a straightforward activity to practice in, take your chosen hero into an adventure and work on finishing without being downed. That objective also contributes toward the game's survival badges.

You can play Adventure Time RPG on Roblox and explore the current beta lineup.

Understand Heroes, Buddies, Skins, and Weapons

Adventure Time RPG characters sit alongside several separate collectible systems. Keeping those systems straight makes shop purchases and event rewards easier to evaluate.

A hero is the character you play. A buddy is a companion you equip to accompany you. A skin changes a character's look, while weapons provide another equipment collection with upgrade goals.

Collection	What you do with it	Related progression
Characters	Play as familiar Adventure Time heroes	Unlock characters for collection badges
Buddies	Equip a companion to accompany you	Unlock and upgrade buddies
Skins	Collect alternate character looks	Earn badges for unlocking skins
Weapons	Equip weapons for combat	Collect weapons and upgrade them

BMO appears among the game's buddies, giving you another familiar face to bring along. Buddy collection and buddy upgrades have separate achievements, so obtaining a companion and improving one contribute to different goals.

The same distinction applies to weapons. Armed requires owning five different weapons, while Armoury Enthusiast requires upgrading any weapon once. One tracks the size of your collection; the other tracks an improvement.

Skins also have their own milestones. Unlocking your first skin earns Skin Deep, while larger collections work toward Style Icon and Fashion Hero.

Read event reward names carefully. Princess Bubblegum's Lab coat skin and the upcoming Messy Lab coat Princess Bubblegum Skin are separate named rewards. Keep a checklist if you want both, especially while Halloween activities overlap.

Before spending Coins, decide whether you are shopping for a character-related item, equipment, or an appearance reward. That small habit helps keep a rotating market purchase aligned with your current goal.

Expand Your Character Collection and Spend Coins Carefully

Building your collection of Adventure Time RPG characters gives you clear badge targets to pursue. The character collection milestones begin at five unlocks, with additional achievements at 15 and 30.

Buddies and skins have their own thresholds:

Collection	Opening milestone	Next milestone	Larger collection goal
Characters	Hero Collector: unlock 5 characters	Casting Call: unlock 15 characters	Fan Favourite: unlock 30 characters
Buddies	Buddy Up: unlock 3 buddies	Buddy Bunch: unlock 15 buddies	Buddy Hoarder: unlock 30 buddies
Skins	Skin Deep: unlock your first skin	Style Icon: unlock 10 skins	Fashion Hero: unlock 25 skins

Use those milestones to organize your collection goals. For example, if you are working toward Hero Collector, keep track of character unlocks separately from buddy and skin unlocks. Each collection advances its own badge requirements.

Check Choose Goose's Rotating Market

Choose Goose's market sells skins, weapons, healing items, and character essence for Coins. Its inventory rotates, so check the stall when you return to the lobby.

Follow this shopping routine:

1. Choose your current goal. Decide whether you want equipment, healing items, a skin, or character essence.
2. Inspect the available items. Check the current selection and Coin prices.
3. Read the item description. Pay particular attention to character essence before buying it.
4. Compare the purchase with your next activity. Consider the equipment and supplies you will use in an adventure or Dungeon Train run.

Keep enough flexibility in your budget to respond when an item you want appears. Buying every available skin can compete with spending on weapons and healing items.

Claim the October Coin Reward

As of October 22, 2026, COINS50 grants 50 Coins.

Head to the Redeem Reward Code zone in the lobby near the training dummies. Enter COINS50 exactly, then select Submit. Codes are case-sensitive; watch for the reward appearing on screen to check that the redemption worked.

Those Coins can contribute toward a market purchase. Check the current price before deciding what to buy.

Improve Your Hero Through Equipment and Adventures

Once you have chosen your Adventure Time RPG characters to focus on, work on the systems that support them in combat. Weapons can be powered up, buddies can be upgraded, and adventures offer opportunities to practice against enemies and bosses.

The game includes Mount Cragdor, Dungeon of the Crystal Eye, and Guardians of Sunshine, alongside the Dungeon Train. King Worm and Demon Cat are among the bosses you can encounter.

Build Around Equipment You Actually Use

Concentrate upgrades on equipment you regularly take into adventures. Practice its attack timing and range, then use openings after enemy attacks to deal damage.

For boss attempts:

• Equip your strongest available weapon and defensive equipment.
• Prepare healing resources before entering.
• Watch attack patterns before committing to repeated attacks.
• Reposition when an enemy signals a large attack.
• Counter during the opening after an attack finishes.

These habits give you concrete things to improve between attempts. Focus on one problem at a time: taking avoidable hits, attacking from an awkward distance, or entering a fight without enough healing supplies.

Use Upgrade Badges as Checkpoints

Weapon and buddy achievements provide practical progression targets. Legendary Gear requires upgrading a weapon to level 10, while Getting Warmer requires upgrading any buddy once.

For broader buddy investment, Best Buds requires upgrading 15 buddies, and Buddy Master requires upgrading 30.

Start with the equipment you use, then expand toward collection goals when you want to develop more options. Keep the difference between unlocking and upgrading in mind when choosing a badge to pursue.

Practice Solo and Cooperative Objectives

Solo survival and team play both have achievement tracks. No Prisoners requires completing an adventure without being downed. Team Finn requires finishing a cooperative adventure with no players downed.

Play with those objectives in mind: avoid unnecessary damage, watch teammates, and perform revives when someone falls. Your first revive earns No One Left Behind.

For Dungeon Train sessions, the room milestones are 25, 50, and 100. Set a room target, prepare your equipment, and assess your progress against that goal.

The optional Hero Training pass costs 500 Robux and increases XP earned by 25% across every character. Consider that purchase separately from your Coin budget and individual equipment upgrades.

Track Halloween Character Skins and Buddy Rewards

Halloween adds time-limited goals for collectors of Adventure Time RPG characters and their alternate looks. On October 22, the Princess Bubblegum quest event is running, with another content update scheduled to begin October 28.

The current quest event runs October 21–28, 2026. It offers a chance to unlock Princess Bubblegum's Lab coat skin, with new quests arriving every two days.

The next event runs October 28–November 4, 2026 and introduces Night of the Candy Zombies.

Event content	Timing	Character-related rewards
Princess Bubblegum Halloween quests	October 21–28, 2026	Chance to unlock the Princess Bubblegum Lab coat skin
Night of the Candy Zombies adventure	Scheduled for October 28–November 4, 2026	Chance to unlock Zombie Princess Bubblegum Skin and Messy Lab coat Princess Bubblegum Skin
Night of the Candy Zombies buddy rewards	Scheduled for October 28–November 4, 2026	Zombie Candy Person Buddy and Starchy Buddy
Premium Halloween Bundle	Announced with the October 28 update	Zombie Jake, Zombie Banana Guard, and Halloween Stickers

Prioritize the current Princess Bubblegum quests if the Lab coat skin is on your collection list. Check back for the quests released every two days, and complete the event objectives before they disappear.

Keep the upcoming adventure rewards separate from the Premium Halloween Bundle when planning your collection. The adventure offers chances at its listed unlocks; the premium bundle contains its own named items.

Use a short Halloween checklist:

• Finish the currently available Princess Bubblegum quests.
• Return for newly released quests during the event.
• Track the Lab coat skin separately from the Messy Lab coat skin.
• Revisit the game when Night of the Candy Zombies begins.
• Check buddy rewards alongside character appearances.

That gives you a focused route through the seasonal content while leaving room for regular adventures and equipment upgrades.
