Boxing dominates the Gakuran court, pushing every other fighting style into shadow with its ironclad M2 and unbeatable pressure.
S-Tier Dominants
Boxing – Epic, 10% rarity – Grants opponents iFrames on each M2 hit, blocks can be countered for reduced cooldown, and guard chip damage rises by 20%. The combination of non‑interruptible strikes and effective Perfect Block rewards skilled timing, making it ideal for short and medium‑height builds. Wrestling – Legendary, 1% rarity – Features a high‑damage takedown, 15% guard‑break damage for both attack types, and a 55% chance to convert a clash into a grapple. This grappling power scales with height, offering unrivaled crowd control.
A-Tier Contenders
Capoeira – Legendary, 1% rarity – Strengthens block chip by 15%, scales guard‑break damage by 5%, spins M2 into ragdoll and slashes dash cooldown by 25%. While it offers excellent mobility and reset capabilities, it lags in raw damage behind its S‑tier peers. Karate – Uncommon, 30% rarity – Focuses on posture: perfect blocks boost posture regen, landing an M2 restores 25% posture, and guard chip climbs by 15%. Its defensive reliability suits beginners, yet it lacks the sheer power of higher tiers.
B‑Tier Significants
Hakari – Epic, 10% rarity – Defines its style with ragdolled M2s, 15% block chip boost, and a Momentum Rush that, when a full M1 combo lands unstunned, triples M2 damage for 7 seconds. It offers explosive burst but requires meticulous combo execution.
C‑Tier Options
Slugger – Uncommon, 30% rarity – Counters adversity with a 10% damage bonus and 20% extra damage taken, but delivers 30% block chip strength. A high‑output but risky approach that depends on de‑ploy.
Muay Thai – Uncommon, 30% rarity – Adds ragdolling M2s, 15% posture damage, and 30% block chip, paired with a 55% chance to transform a clash to a grapple. It thrives on relentless pressure while struggling if forced to keep distance.
Basic – Common, 59% rarity – Offers a 5% damage boost after a perfect block, 15% posture regen, and 15% block chip. The entry‑level style is balanced but quickly eclipsed by any unlocked higher tier.
Choosing Wisely
Height dictates effectiveness: taller characters amplify damage and hitbox size, while shorter characters speed up attacks and reduce hit detection. Match your build to the style’s strengths—Taller players gain wrestling’s grapples; agile users may favor capoeira’s dash and ragdolling.
Acquire new styles by rerolling the Stats menu, each roll offering a random outcome weighted by rarity. Legendary and epic styles remain the primes, but less rare picks still hand strong elements for specific play patterns.
Novices thrive on Basic or Karate, receiving straightforward defensive bonuses and posture support that ease learning the combat loop. More experienced players should pursue Boxing or Wrestling for unmatched pressure and control.
Ultimately, the style that delivers the highest output depends on a player’s height, play style, and how well they master its unique passive suite; the current Gakuran tier list reflects this strategic depth above all.
