Fighting Styles

A fighting style is the tool you punch with. Every player spawns holding one, and holding it puts you in that style. Right now there is one style: Bare Knuckle, a street boxing style with a 4-hit M1 string and a heavy M2.

Bare KnuckleThe starting style. Open its full page: the string, the heavy attack and its Mastery.

How styles work

  • Your style is a tool in your hotbar. You can only have one style at a time.
  • Holding the style tool gives you its idle, walk, attacks and block pose.
  • Skills are separate tools. Holding a skill keeps the style you already have.
  • Putting the tool away mid-swing lets the swing finish before your stance drops.

Style rules

  • An M2 can't cancel an M1: it waits until the M1 swing and its endlag are over.
  • An M2 resets your M1 string.
  • Holding M1 keeps throwing the string.
  • Your M1s and M2 slow your walk while swinging. No running or dashing mid-swing.
  • Attacking while walking or airborne keeps your legs free, so you can punch on the move.

Attack speed

  • Agility speeds up your punches: +10% at 100 Agility, capped at +25% from 250.
  • A lean build swings a bit faster (x1.08), a Muscular build a bit slower.

Trivia

  • The 4th hit used to be a kick. It is now a right punch that flows straight out of hit 3.
