You Vs Homer is a survival game where one player becomes Homer and hunts everyone else who plays as Bart. Many new players wonder which character they should pick between Bart and Homer in You vs Homer, but the truth is you cannot manually choose which character you play. The game randomly selects one player to be Homer at the start of each round, while everyone else automatically becomes Bart. This guide explains how character selection works and whether there are ways to increase your chances of playing as Homer in You vs Homer.
How Character Selection Works in You vs Homer
When a new round starts in You Vs Homer, there’s a short prep phase where everyone can move around and find hiding spots. During this time, all players are Bart. After about 15-20 seconds, the game randomly picks one person from the server to become Homer. You cannot choose to be Homer before the round starts, and you cannot volunteer to be the hunter.
The selection is completely random for most players. If there are 20 people in the server, you have a 1 in 20 chance of being chosen as Homer. If there are only 10 people, your chances improve to 1 in 10. The game doesn’t consider your skill level, how many rounds you’ve played, or whether you won the previous round when picking Homer.
Can You Increase Homer Chances in You vs Homer?
There is one way to increase your chances of being selected as Homer. The game has a game pass called “X2 Homer Chance” that costs 120 Robux. This gamepass permanently doubles your probability of being chosen as Homer compared to players who don’t have it.
However, doubling your chances doesn’t mean you’ll be Homer every round or even most rounds. If you’re in a server with 20 players and you have the gamepass, you’re still competing against 19 other people. Your odds improve, but Homer selection remains mostly random. The gamepass is only worth buying if you really prefer playing as Homer and want to be selected slightly more often.
Which Character is Better?
Neither character is objectively better because they offer completely different gameplay experiences. Playing as Bart is about hiding, staying quiet, using parkour to reach safe spots, and surviving for 3 minutes. It requires patience, map knowledge, and good decision-making about when to move and when to stay still.
Playing as Homer is about hunting, tracking down hiding players, and using smart positioning to corner people before time runs out. It requires understanding the map layout, predicting where players hide, and managing your time efficiently to catch everyone.
Most players prefer Bart because you play as Bart more frequently (in most rounds) and hiding/escaping feels more challenging than hunting. However, some players enjoy the pressure of being Homer and trying to catch everyone before the timer ends. The best character depends entirely on your personal preference.
