    Prompting Guide for Juggernaut Ragnarok by Adam

    Juggernaut on HuggingFace

    A big thanks goes to RunDiffusion and Adam, who diligently helped me make it work :) (Leave some love for them ;) )

    Hey everyone,

    It’s been 8 months since the last version was released here on CivitAI.
    Of course, I haven’t been idle during that time . I completed several projects to ensure I’d have the financial means to keep exploring new architectures and possibly do full finetunes on them in the future.

    Juggernaut Flux (and its many sub-variants) was a ton of work, but ultimately, I’ve wrapped that chapter up. The training process gave me way too many headaches. To keep my sanity, I spent my spare time working on Juggernaut SDXL with the hope of maybe releasing one final version for you all.
    And that day has finally come. :)

    Juggernaut Ragnarok has improved in many areas: photorealism, digital painting, poses, hands, feet, and much more.
    That said, it’s still an SDXL model, and I don’t recommend comparing it to models like Flux, Reve, or Sora. For example, it still has limitations when it comes to text rendering or faces at a distance.

    I recommend using it as part of a pipeline for your projects. Example setup:
    FluxDev / Pixelwave / Jug Flux ProJuggernaut Ragnarok

    A quick personal note about Juggernaut:
    Honestly, I don’t know what comes next.
    After the release of Sora and similar tools, the open-source image generation space feels a bit dull in comparison.
    Nothing has really excited me enough to dive back into training (yes, I’m talking about HiDream too).
    So I’m seeing Juggernaut Ragnarok as a kind of farewell, especially since it’s unclear where things are headed with CivitAI in general.
    (You can download all Juggernaut versions from HuggingFace, by the way.)

    Last but not least:
    Have fun with the model, share your creations, and good luck with your projects!
    And in case you’re wondering: Yes, you can do anything you want with Juggernaut : merge it, train it, sell the image outputs, etc.
    Just a simple shoutout is all I ask. :)

    And now, here are the recommended settings:

    Res: 832*1216 (For Portrait, but any SDXL Res will work fine)

    Sampler: DPM++ 2M SDE

    Steps: 30-40

    CFG: 3-6 (less is a bit more realistic)

    Negative: Start with no negative, and add afterwards the Stuff you don´t wanna see in that image.

    VAE is already Baked In

    HiRes: 4xNMKD-Siax_200k with 15 Steps and 0.3 Denoise + 1.5 Upscale


    And now, have fun trying it out. As always, I'm eagerly waiting for your pictures in the Gallery :)

    If you liked the model, please leave a Like. In the end, that's what helps me the most as a creator on CivitAI. :)

    Last but not least, I'd like to thank a few people without whom Juggernaut XL probably wouldn't have come to fruition:

    Dreamlook.AI (Trained 3 Side Sets)

    Chillpixel

    SilasAI6609

    Adam

    Description

    Used version 12 as the base for training to bring it back into photorealism. Trained another NSFW set on SDXL (using Booru tags). Then trained the same NSFW set again, this time using the great Lustify Model by Coyotte as the base.

    Both NSFW sets were then merged into the trained photorealism model (0.15 ratio for the trained SDXL NSFW set and 0.1 ratio for the trained Lustify set)

    Hey everyone,

    Juggernaut Ragnarok is live!
    Just a quick heads-up: Adam will be updating the Prompt Guide in the next few days to make sure it’s fully optimized for the new version. :)

    Also, I’ll be adding three ComfyUI workflows from Adam tomorrow:

    One specifically for Juggernaut Ragnarok

    One for a pipeline from Flux Dev → Juggernaut

    And one for Pixelwave → Juggernaut

    I’ve already placed a Buzz bid in the auction for Juggernaut XI & Ragnarok, so starting Friday, you’ll be able to flood the generator with your prompts again. ;)

    Have fun and enjoy! 😊

    This is the final version, and I really wanted to make the general NSFW part (mainly nudity) properly stable this time.
    At the same time, I didn’t want it to be all boobs and dicks everywhere 😄 — so that’s why I did another training run using the Lustify base and only merged it in at a low ratio, which actually helped a lot.

    If you’re looking for more explicit NSFW content (like intercourse, etc.), I definitely recommend using the Lustify model.
    In Juggernaut Ragnarok, the NSFW parts can easily be controlled using appropriate negative tags, in case it gets too much.
    That said, the model generally separates SFW and NSFW content quite well.

    @KandooAI quite interesting, since lustify it's base in bigasp2 , most of the original xl data seems missing, but with the help of juggernaut I think we can finally have both worlds together , let's hope Adan can come up with a very helpful guide 😜

    @KandooAI Lustify is indeed a legendary checkpoint but... did you try Big Love 2.5?... is pretty much the natural succesor of Lustify and it improves it on every aspect IMO.

    coyotteMay 8, 2025· 2 reactions

    @ElectricDreams biglove is interesting, but I wouldn't say it's necessarily better. It has it's own flaws, just like Lustify or any other checkpoint. That's why we have so many different ones that focus on different things 😌

    Hi, thanks for the new model! I use Juggernaut all the time for image generation. It’s sad to hear that nothing fires you up anymore, but I do agree that open-source models are in a bit of a slump right now.

    I still break out the 1.5-series models for certain jobs, because nothing else handles extreme resolutions properly.

    As for GPT: at first I was an impressed, but by the very next day I’d already hit its limits. You’ll never get truly epic backgrounds with GPT, and you can’t train a closed-source model on the exact style or concept you need. Even when you feed it references, you just end up with that same damned “GPT style.” And forget about 16:9

    Midjourney, meanwhile, can ban you on a whim if it doesn’t like something. I’m not even talking about porn—horror imagery is off-limits too, as are dark, brutal covers for brutal death-metal or goregrind bands.

    In the end, the only real strengths of closed-source models are pretty portraits, cute cats, and memes. I’ve got nothing against people pumping out memes, but for serious work closed-source models’re very frequently useless.

    Don't worry about Flux, Sora and similar models. All models are good and are used for different purposes.

    I’ve already tested Ragnarok, and I can tell you it’s fucking awesome.

    Thanks again for your work, I hope you find inspiration for your self-realization in the future.

    I hope someone can help me out here. I am running Juggernaught XL on a paperspace cloud machine P5000. I have run the following prompt 15 times with no good or nearly accurate results or even close. 1 fully body bad pose, 10 just legs in heels most have deformed legs and toes. no facial details like moles or biting of the lip. 3 portraits disfigered with no torso. If someone can please help me understand why I got no good results after so many attempts? I was under the impression Juggernaut is the best model that is around for both realist models and NSFW?

    Prompt: A hyper-realistic full-body portrait of a 20-year-old athletic woman, (highly detailed symmetrical face with flawless skin, centered in the frame, head fully visible:1.3), long straight strawberry blonde hair cascading over shoulders, large almond-shaped blue eyes with long eyelashes, (biting her lower lip seductively:1.3), (distinct mole above the right upper lip:1.2), (toned athletic body with smooth curves, anatomically correct torso:1.3), large breasts in a delicate red lace bra, wearing no underwear (extremely tiny, barely covering the pubic area, exposing a subtle strip of visible pubic hair:1.3), (sitting on the edge of a white linen bed, legs slightly spread in a clear frontal view, head and upper body fully included:1.3), hands resting on the bed sheets, wearing glossy black high stiletto heels, natural soft light from a nearby window, ultra-detailed, photorealistic textures

    Negative: lowres, blurry, jpeg artifacts, watermark, text, signature, deformed, poorly drawn, mutated hands, mutated limbs, extra fingers, extra limbs, extra arms, extra legs, bad anatomy, bad proportions, disproportionate body, unbalanced limbs, disfigured torso, distorted torso, unnatural torso, missing head, head cropped, no face, faceless, distorted face, unnatural facial features, censored, doll-like, cartoon, anime, CGI, plastic skin, overexposed, underexposed, double exposure, extra torso, double image, cropped image, out of frame, unnatural lighting, unrealistic facial features, missing mole, incorrect hair color, clothing errors, high-cut panties, fully covered pubic area, missing pubic hair, neutral facial expression, closed mouth, missing lip-biting, standing pose, lying down, incorrect pose, no bed, missing bed sheets, anatomical errors, distorted proportions, lack of realism

    I posted the optimal settings in the description : unfortunately, yours are quite far from ideal.

    Your resolution (512×1024) is too small for SDXL, which can easily lead to deformations. Your CFG value of 9 is also noticeably too high.
    Additionally, your prompt should be no longer than 75 tokens. This is an SDXL model with a CLIP text encoder. Anything beyond 75 tokens is ignored by the model or can even result in worse image quality than if you had trimmed it down.

    We also recommend starting without a negative prompt, and only adding specific negative tags if truly necessary.

    I probably can't post links here, but found two articles discussing this issue with JuggernautXL (It isn't just me):
    'AMD AMUSE v2.1.11 potential memory leak'
    'RTX 3060 TI vs 4060 TI vs 4070 for Stable Diffusion'

    Both articles discuss the model's insane memory spikes.
    Most of you so far say you're using Forge so far.
    Both crashes occurred on ComfyUI's UI.
    Assuming Forge works similar to Automatic1111 or Fooocus, I'm guess you must be manually fixing the image and probably have access to little to no extensions.
    So why does this model not work like other models which are the same size? That's what I'm curious about.

    Given this feedback too, maybe I might install Forge to use this model for inpainting.
    Model seems great, and I can understand why it's a PC crasher in terms of quality, but the model size isn't adding up to me. I'd think FLUX would do something like this because it exceeds the amount of GPU available, though my friend with 12GB GPU can load 12gb GGUF models and not bottleneck, but on the other hand this model crashes his UI and crashed my whole GPU.
    So clearly there's something I'm not understanding.

    it's all sdxl. if you use a tool like invokeai which gives you only the loras available fitting for the model, all sdxl loras work on all sdxl models (while flux loras for example is grayed out). At least you can use them. How well they work is a different question. Illustrious seems to need a much stonger kick in the bum (same clothing lora, i need almost 1.9 to see it.

    Anyone else having issues inpainting w/ this model? Applying the Fooocus patch doesn't really work at all for me.

    Also tried merging it into a pseudo-inpainting model via the "Add difference" merge (if you know, you know), but that fails to give good results as well.

    Both of these methods have always worked with JuggernautXL models in the past. Anyone had luck with inpainting?

    just tried inpainting / out painting using Ragnarök, seems the same as any other model I've tried. Are you using any extra styles/ prompting ?

    also how do you mean " applying the focus patch" , theres no need to add anything manually as it automatically patches sdxl models for inpainting

    razr112May 27, 2025· 1 reaction

    @mariedoll123 Applying the Fooocus patch in ComfyUI w/ the Inpaint Nodes. For some reason it was completely screwing up inpainting generations for me yesterday w/ Ragnarok. Updated everything in ComfyUI and it seems to be working fine now though lol. Still haven't figured out why the inpainting model merge is broken though. Used Forge to merge Ragnarok into an inpainting model but generations are terrible. It's been like a year since I last used Forge though so I may have just screwed up the merge unintentionally. Gonna try again later today.

    That’s incredible model that requires very little prompting to get the right results. But I find it very unresponsive to the LoRas. Same setup with Juggernaut below v.10 follow the loras precisely, but higher than 10 and especially the current one feels like totally ignoring the loras. Is that expected behavior?

    ...and the plot thicken...

    I installed open-webui last night, generated images using v13 using few lengthy prompts, and somehow, a prompt with 203 tokens still adheres?

    Seems like model comprehends complete sentences properly than comma separated tags.

    NOTE that this doesn't feel creative. It is hard to manipulate images in this way.

    CivitAI is already working on it. We found out today that every Jugg Version was taken down. That was obv a mistake, so the Model is back online in the Generator. But its still no working 100 % . For Example: I cant find Juggernaut in my own profile, whatever Setting i choose. Also you cant search it up...and of course your problem :D

    Give it a couple of days and its prob working fine again :)
    At least i can say that i/we didnt changed anything :)

    There's a specific furry model if you need one. It's called PonyXL v6. It is more anime though, but you probably could use it as a base, then continue the generation with Juggernaut. I've not used it because I don't really understand the fascination with furry, but you could potentially give it a try.

    Ragnarok version is one of my top3 favorite checkpoints, with CyberrealisticXL. It's very versatile and i like how i can combine my weird prompting style, sometimes long sentences with shorter random words and terms like "memories of past" and it does cool stuff with my flow of mind type of prompts that do sometimes. Thanks for your efforts and good work!

    Much love to you all, wish you have an amazing warm summer day. You all live in my heart , in my prompts! <3

    @crypticcommander99452 Top3 for me is:

    ꨄ JuggernautXL Ragnarok,

    ꨄ CyberrealisticXL 6.0 (and some special versions from the maker of that)

    ꨄ The Araminta Experiment Gv4 (what has really cool aesthetics possibilities for my prompting style and desired occasionally slightly psychedelic/artsy style + it has some special aesthetics also for human body, or can quite easily nudge it in such ways, not only "babes", but very unique looks easily doable + variety in general, i know, a vague statement maybe, but it's cool for those who tried many checkpoints and likes something special. It's poetic visually if likes what it can offer, can recommend to other "fake-artsy emos" like me. :P, and to anyone in general who is an aesthetics enjoyer). Here is the link if anyone wanna try it out:

    @6vidit9 Indeed. It's a really great general purpose model that I have not seen other models on here manage to compete with (with generating a diversity of people). The way this site works is that every week people have to bid on models for it to stay up it seems (up to 200 models are accessible). For some reason, this model lapsed during that process so that's why it's not accessible right now. In about 5 days, as long as it is among the top 200 bids, it should come back online.

    Animal fur has never been better in SDXL. Apart from generating, I use it for i2i in SwarmUI with great results to improve animal pictures with less than optimal fur rendering. For that purpose, Euler even does a tad better as sampler, being less aggressive as to animal fur texture than other samplers.

    An exceptionally realistic checkpoint that sticks to prompts and is able to generate characters as requested (regardless of race or features) with two downsides:

    1. Sub-par representation of hands. I get far, far more extra fingers or missing/botched nails than most other modern checkpoints.

    2. The facial features are very repetitive, resulting in a low variety of generated "humans". Using elaborate wildcards that create a substantial differentiation of prompts, creating 1000 images, after the first 100 I see mostly repeated faces.

    Newer doesn’t always mean better. I use Juggernaut Ragnarok, XI, and V9 — each shines depending on the prompt. No clear favorite for me yet. Ragnarok just leans more into photorealism and detail compared to the others, which is neither a plus nor a minus, just its style.

    @eontarik257 You mean a Juggernaut Z-Image finetune?
    I actually spent the time since Turbo’s release setting up a new dataset with matching captions (the set isn’t fully complete yet). But it’s still too early to say I’ll definitely do a finetune… we’re still missing Z-Image Base :P
    But I’m just as hyped as the rest of the community and the creators. I think 2026 is going to be an amazing year. :)

    What I can say (since I’ve obviously been thinking about that scenario) is that if a finetune does happen, it would absolutely be a fully open-source project. Because the base model is likely just as “uncensored” and I also assume the license will stay the same (Apache 2.0), it’s a perfect fit for CivitAI, HuggingFace, and the whole ecosystem. :)

    eontarik257Dec 1, 2025

    @KandooAI I didnt try it, but heard about the hype. What i heard, its great for realims out of box. So, if you will finetune, than it would be for nsfw concepts or an all arounder?

    KandooAI

    Dec 1, 2025· 1 reaction

    @eontarik257 That’s hard to say for now we’ve only seen the distilled Turbo version so far. I assume the Base model will feel a bit different.
    Right now, photography and photorealism already work extremely well in Z-Image, so that’s not an area that needs major work anymore. The NSFW side is also strong enough that I don’t really need to do much there either (I’ll tweak a few things here and there, but no pornography, as always with Juggernaut).
    The current dataset I’m working on is mainly focused on cinematics (lighting, grain, etc.) and various art styles. But as mentioned, the set isn’t finished yet and may need to be adjusted once the Z-Image Base release is out.
    But yeah it will prob be an allrounder again

    ailthrimDec 31, 2025

    Do you mean 150 steps? What sampler and scheduler? I've done that before and can get great results. It depends. The traditional recommendation of ~35 steps isn't always the best these days depending on the vast number of variables we can change. Keep playing around and trying different things, that's the real fun of it afterall.

    I think I'm missing something. I'm trying to use it on simple prompts for generating pin-up female models in old fashioned style, but it constantly gives me lots of deformed eyes, hands, extra fingers.

    galaxy1815Jan 27, 2026

    You can try putting "bad hands" and "bad eyes" in the negative prompt section. You can also inpaint the hands and eyes and try to rerun.

    yano2mchJan 27, 2026

    i see some negative prompts of 'more than 5 fingers or toes'. Sometimes models behave better it will improve if you have more iterations. While 20 is a decent speed, 30-40 may be needed. Though some people seem to suggest 50-100 iterations on some models, so i don't know.

    You could also try img2img with a picture of the pose you want, and then have it regenerate the female and/or the background. Sometimes it's really good. Sometimes it's really wonky.

    In my experience 1 in 40 generations are good without needing cleanup. But ADetailer with some models are suppose to auto detect face hands and feet issues and fix them. Though i haven't used it myself.

    First of all, thanks for thinking of me when it comes to a finetune 😉

    I’ve actually spent the last few weeks building a new dataset for Z-Image while waiting for the base model to be released.

    So yes, I’m genuinely planning a Z-Image training run (relatively soon), and after that I want to move straight on to Flux Klein. Whether that’ll be 4B or 9B, I honestly don’t know yet.

    At the beginning, there will likely be more frequent updates (similar to how it was with Juggernaut XL). I want to take you along for the entire journey again and potentially incorporate community feedback during training.

    I can’t give a concrete timeline yet since I’m only about to start training, but I think a first version should be ready within the next four weeks 🙂

    EsheAIJan 31, 2026· 1 reaction

    @KandooAI Yea, these days finetunes just don't come at the same frequency or quality as they did during the SDXL peak. Maybe most of them are too heavy to work with or for other reasons. Z-image and Klein are damn good for their size/parameters and both worthy to replace SDXL while being accessible on a wider range of hardware. I immediately thought of you and maybe a few others, because honestly we need the quality fine tunes/tuners. Ever since Flux.1 came around everything became stale and shallow. Glad to hear you're considering it and I'm sure many will be excited to know this. The Juggernaut, returns!

    @EsheAI Yeah, SDXL really was a peak era. After my last update almost eight months ago, I was honestly pretty pessimistic about where things were heading.

    Of course, models like Qwen, Flux and others are technically very strong image models. But as you already mentioned, the level of community support just wasn’t comparable to what we had during the SD 1.5 and SDXL days. A big part of that was simply that these models weren’t very consumer-GPU friendly.

    2026, however, looks like it could be a genuinely exciting year for the scene. For the first time, we have two base models at the same time that offer solid quality to build on and are accessible on consumer hardware. That opens the door again for a lot of developers to create their own models and LoRAs.

    I’m personally very optimistic that we’ll see a more active and creative community again with Flux Klein and Z-Image 🙂
