Slayer Tycoon Fighting Styles Tier List
Waterfall kits for both factions — including v2.0 Solo Player Style.
Fighting styles are the third shop in Slayer Tycoon. The Styles Sensei stands near the waterfall and will sell to Slayers and Demons. You do not need a faction Sensei first, but you should still own a breathing or demon art before you drop $76,000 on unarmed flash. Styles are a secondary weapon: swap them when the katana is on cooldown, or main them if you queued solo.

S tier
Sorcerer Style — $32k–$35k. Older public lists (2024) parked this in S next to Revenger. Big spatial tools, still one of the best “style-only” kits if your Sensei cash is stuck. If your server prices it at $35k, it remains S; if a patch tanks it, it is still A.
Revenger Style — $23,000. Same era S-tier. Cheap enough to buy after Insect. Excellent session value because it does not wait for $70k Shockwave money.
A tier
Solo Player Style — $72k–$76k (conflict). v2.0 answer to “this game needs a partner.” Moves called out in community videos: E Mutilation, R Ruler’s Hand, T Arise, plus a secret skill. A-tier because it is expensive and aimed skills feel worse on mobile (controls). If you always queue alone, it is your A+ identity kit, not a first buy.
Soaring Style — $16,000. Cheapest real style. Mobility, martial flavor (Shockwave users often look like they already own it). A as a budget pickup, B as a late-game main.
B tier
Highschool God Style — $30,000. Mid in every list that bothers to rank it. Buy if you like the moves; skip if Revenger is still available at $23k.
C tier
Peek A Boo Style — $52,000. Added around the Love Breathing update. Expensive joke/mixup kit. Fun in PvP if you already have a real art. C for session value because $52k is almost Shockwave.
How to use a style in a real session
- Farm the money route until Sensei + a cheap faction kit exist.
- Walk to the waterfall once, buy Soaring or Revenger, and bind it next to the katana.
- In boss fights, swap to the style only if the art’s i-frames are down. Do not lose a soul because you wanted to emote Arise.
- Solo queue: save for Solo Player Style after the pad’s income buttons are done. It will not place tycoon buttons for you.
Style vs pass kits
Fire God and Moon Art still beat unarmed kits in raw screenshot damage. Styles win on access — no 350–700 R$ gate, no faction lock. A free player with Revenger plus Insect will clear Biwa faster than a player standing at the Fire God prompt with $20,000.
v1.8 footage (mid-article) shows a new style drop next to Beast’s rework. Use it for animation reference. v2.0’s Solo kit is the one that changed matchmaking advice; updates covers that patch.
If your duo already covers Shockwave + Mist, skip styles entirely and spin accessories with the leftover cash. Saved buffs outrank a rental Peek A Boo.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Where do I buy fighting styles?
Styles Sensei near the waterfall. Either faction can buy. See the map.
What is the best fighting style?
Revenger or Sorcerer for value. Solo Player Style if you always play alone and can afford about $75k.
Does Solo Player Style replace a teammate?
It helps you fight without a duo. It does not build the tycoon for you. Getting started still assumes a pad.
Should I buy Peek A Boo?
Only after a real art or breathing. At $52k it competes with Shockwave and usually loses that comparison.
