Best Fighting Styles in Gakuran Roblox: Full Tier List

Gakuran hands you a fighting style based on rarity, and the gap between the best and worst is wide enough that it shapes how every duel plays out. The ranking below leads with the safe, high-value picks that win neutral without relying on rare procs, then walks down through the aggressive alternatives and into the styles that look strong on paper but fall apart in a real fight. You’ll see the same eight styles show up across every serious tier list — Basic, Slugger, Boxing, Muay Thai, Karate, Hakari, Capoeira and Wrestling — so this covers all of them, not just the top two.

Full fighting styles tier list

Boxing and Hakari sit at the top because they combine solid damage with pressure that doesn’t hinge on landing something rare. Muay Thai and Capoeira follow closely for players who like to stay on the front foot. The bottom of the list is where the surprises are: Basic is the weakest starter option with almost nothing special going for it, and Wrestling is the single most debated placement in the game — a Legendary with real damage that still lands in C tier here because of how punishable it is.

Boxing versus Hakari at the top

You’ll see this style written as both Hakari and Hikari depending on where you look; it’s the same style, and we’ll stick with Hakari from here. Both S-tier picks are excellent, but they reward different things. Boxing is the safer, easier style — its Untouchable passive makes M2s uninterruptible with i-frames, so you can throw a heavy attack and trust it to land clean. On top of that, Perfect Reflex cuts your M2 cooldown by 1 second whenever you land a perfect block, so good defense feeds straight back into more offense.

Muay Thai and Capoeira for aggression

Muay Thai is the standout A-tier value pick, and it’s especially strong for an Uncommon. It comes with powerful ragdoll M2s, Crushing Force II for +15% posture damage, Guard Pierce V for 30% block chip damage, and Resilience V for a 55% chance to clash out of grapples. That’s a maxed-out chip and grapple profile on a style you don’t have to gamble a rare roll for, which is exactly why it punches above its rarity and sits near the top of A tier.

Capoeira is the mobile counterpart. Its M2 ragdolls the victim on hit, Heavy Hitter I adds 5% guard break damage, Guard Pierce II gives 15% block chip, and its Ginga passive shortens your dash cooldown by 25% so you can dance in and out of range. It’s genuinely strong and great for hit-and-run pressure, but its listed bonus values come in lower than Muay Thai’s across the board — so between the two aggressive picks, Muay Thai edges ahead on raw output while Capoeira wins on mobility.

Mid and low tiers: Slugger, Karate, Basic, Wrestling

This is where rarity stops meaning strength. Slugger hits harder but its Unstable passive makes you take 20% more damage in exchange for dealing 10% more, so every trade cuts both ways — it can graze the top of B tier but the risk holds it back. Karate is a modest defensive option built around posture: Steady Nerves boosts posture regen after a perfect block and Balanced Strike refunds 25% posture on an M2, but none of it is game-changing. Basic is the floor — its only trick is Counter Strike for 5% extra damage after a perfect block, and there are better options everywhere.

Wrestling is the interesting one. It’s a Legendary with a strong grapple kit — its Takedown M2 slams opponents for 1.5× damage, it carries 15% guard break, and its Arm Wrestling passive gives a 55% grapple clash chance. Some players rate it very highly for general PvP on the strength of that grappling. It lands in C tier here for a concrete reason, though: it hits slowly, which makes a missed grab easy to counter, and rolling a ~1% Legendary only to be out-tempo’d by a common Epic stings. Treat it as a specialist tool, not a default best-in-slot.

Which style fits your playstyle

Combat stats and controls that matter

A few shared stats decide how every style trades. Guard Pierce (also called God Pierce) is chip damage that goes through a normal block — higher tiers push more damage past a guard, which is why a maxed Guard Pierce V at 30% chip is such a big deal on Muay Thai and Slugger. Resilience is your chance to clash out of a grapple, so it’s the stat that decides whether a grab locks you down or gets shrugged off. Posture matters just as much: passives that regenerate or refund posture, like Karate’s, let you keep blocking and pressuring without getting posture-broken.

Controls are standard across styles. Press T to enter your fighting stance, M1 (left click) for light attacks, M2 (right click) for heavy attacks and guard breaks, F to block or parry, and Q to dash or evade. Most of a style’s power only comes out when you perfect block — that’s what triggers passives like Counter Strike and Steady Nerves, so timing your F is what separates a strong style from a wasted one.
