Quick fighting styles rules
- Each style has unique passives that define its playstyle.
- Height recommendations matter — tall styles on short characters underperform.
- Boxing and Wrestling are S-tier for PvP. Basic is A-tier for learning.
- Capoeira is Legendary but B-tier — rarity doesn't equal power.
- Check the Tier List for rankings before choosing a style.
Boxing
Incredibly aggressive playstyle. Heavy Attacks have iFrames and are uninterruptible. Perfect blocks reduce Heavy Attack cooldown. The iFrame pressure is hard to deal with.
Pressure opponents constantly. Use M2 iFrames to lead the fight on your terms. Still dodgeable/parryable, but the iFrame pressure is hard to deal with.
Wrestling
Higher skill cap than Boxing but equally dominant. Uninterruptible grab initiation punishes opponents who dash in carelessly. Heavy attack grabs and slams for 1.5x damage.
Learn to time grab initiations to catch opponent misplays. The grab is uninterruptible once it starts.
Basic
The default starter style. Solid for learning mechanics. Rewards good blocking with a damage boost. Surprisingly strong when played well.
Focus on perfect blocking to trigger the Counterstrike bonus. The posture regeneration helps you recover faster than opponents.
Muay Thai
Aggressive pressure style with excellent chip damage. Ragdoll Heavy attacks and high guard pierce make it deadly even when opponents block.
Maintain constant pressure. The 30% chip damage means opponents lose health even when blocking. Be wary of Wrestlers who can grab you.
Capoeira
Despite being Legendary, considered quite underwhelming due to low damage. The mobility from shorter dash cooldowns can help skilled players, but raw damage is lacking.
Use the shorter dash cooldown to maintain distance and control spacing. The low damage means you need to win through mobility, not raw power.
Hakari
A momentum-based style that rewards landing full combos. In group fights it shines, but in 1-on-1 against skilled opponents, landing full light combos is difficult.
Land a full M1 combo to activate the 7-second 3x M2 damage window. In group fights, this is easier to trigger. In 1v1, skilled opponents will interrupt your combos.
Karate
Very middle-of-the-road style. No specific weaknesses but doesn't excel anywhere. Steady posture recovery on perfect blocks.
Use perfect blocks to maintain posture advantage. The M2 posture refund helps you stay in fights longer, but you lack the burst damage of higher-tier styles.
Slugger
High-risk, high-reward style. You deal and take 25% more damage. At worst, it actively gives you a disadvantage against opponents who can capitalize on your increased vulnerability.
The 25% extra damage you take is a significant drawback. Only use this if you can consistently land hits before your opponent. Tall height helps offset the damage vulnerability.
