Fistborn Styles Guide (March 2026) All Requirements & Skills

Looking to dominate PvP battles in Fistborn but confused about which fighting style suits your playstyle? I’ve tested every single style extensively, and this comprehensive guide reveals exactly what stats you need, where to find each trainer, and which skills make each style worth learning in March 2026.

Fistborn offers six distinct fighting styles – Taekwondo, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Karate, Boxing, and Sumo – each with unique skill sets, passive abilities, and specific stat requirements. Choosing the right style can mean the difference between dominating the arena and getting knocked out in seconds. Whether you’re building an agile speedster or a tanky powerhouse, understanding style requirements is crucial for your progression.

What Makes Fighting Styles Essential in Fistborn?

Unlike typical Roblox fighting games where button-mashing wins, Fistborn requires strategic style selection and proper stat investment. Each style fundamentally changes your combat approach, offering exclusive moves, passive bonuses, and unique M1/M2 attack patterns that define your identity in PvP battles.

Your fighting style choice should align with three critical factors:

Stat Distribution – Different styles reward different stat builds, making some naturally synergize with your current training focus

Combat Preference – Aggressive players thrive with offensive styles like Muay Thai, while defensive tacticians excel with Boxing

Training Power Goals – Some styles unlock earlier than others, making them better starting points for new players

How to Train Stats for Your Chosen Style?

Before you can learn any fighting style, you’ll need to grind specific stats through training exercises. Here’s the most efficient training method for each stat category:

Strength Training:

• Push-ups (early game)
• Curl-ups (mid game)
• Weight machines (advanced)

Stamina Building:

• Jumping jacks
• Roadwork (running)
• Treadmill workouts

Durability Development:

• Sit-ups
• Pull-ups
• Durability training equipment

Agility Enhancement:

• Squats
• Roadwork (combined with stamina)
• Pattern training

Dexterity Improvement:

• Shadow boxing
• Pattern training
• Speed bag (at boxing gym)

Special Stats:

• Muscle: Push-ups, sit-ups, squats, weight machines
• Fat: Eat food items at restaurants

Pro Training Tip: Focus on one style’s requirements at a time rather than spreading training across multiple styles. This creates a clear progression path and lets you start fighting with your chosen style faster.

Which Fighting Style Should You Learn First?

Your first style choice dramatically impacts your early PvP experience. Based on hundreds of hours testing each style, here’s my recommendation for different player types:

Best for Complete Beginners: Karate

• Lowest overall stat requirements
• Balanced offensive and defensive capabilities
• Focus-generation mechanics teach proper timing
• Skills are straightforward and easy to execute

Best for Aggressive Players: Muay Thai

• Heavy-hitting strikes with excellent damage
• Stamina drain punishes defensive opponents
• Great limb damage resistance for trading blows
• Rewards forward pressure and constant attacking

Best for Defensive Tacticians: Boxing

• Superior dodge frames and counter-attack tools
• Stamina efficiency allows extended defensive play
• Head damage bonus rewards precision striking
• Counter skill literally punishes aggressive opponents

Best for Tank Builds: Wrestling or Sumo

• Maximum damage reduction and survivability
• Grab-based offense bypasses defensive play
• Unique comeback mechanics and sustain
• Dominates close-range engagements

I personally recommend starting with Karate for your first 50-100 hours, then branching into a specialized style once you understand combat mechanics. The balanced stat requirements mean you won’t waste training time, and the focus mechanics teach proper dodging and timing that transfers to all other styles.

Style-Locked Skills Explained

Every fighting style includes “Style Locked” skills that can ONLY be used when you have that specific style equipped. These are typically the most powerful moves in each style’s arsenal:

• Style-locked skills deal significantly more damage than regular skills
• You must wear the style to access these exclusive moves
• They often have unique animations and properties not found elsewhere
• Higher XP requirements reflect their increased power

This system prevents players from cherry-picking only the best moves from multiple styles, ensuring each fighting discipline maintains its unique identity in combat.

Passive Abilities & Why They Matter

Many players overlook passive abilities, but they provide constant benefits that dramatically impact fight outcomes:

Damage Passives increase your raw output without any additional inputs, essentially giving you free damage with every hit.

Damage Reduction Passives compound over time in longer fights, often being the difference between victory and defeat in close battles.

Utility Passives like dodge frames, focus generation, and stamina efficiency enable advanced techniques and longer combo strings.

Pro Tip: When choosing between two styles you like equally, compare their passive abilities carefully. A style with superior passives can outperform a style with flashier skills in extended fights.

Advanced Style Combinations & Mastery

While you can only use one style at a time in combat, learning multiple styles opens strategic possibilities:

Learn complementary styles to understand their weaknesses from an opponent’s perspective. Knowing how Boxing counters Taekwondo kicks makes you a better Taekwondo user.

Experiment with different styles in different scenarios. Some styles excel in 1v1s while others dominate team fights or crowded battles.

Master one style completely before spreading to others. A player with 1000+ XP in Boxing will destroy someone with 300 XP across three different styles.

The most successful Fistborn fighters typically main one style for 80% of their fights while having 1-2 backup styles for specific matchups or situations.

Common Style Selection Mistakes

After coaching dozens of new players, I’ve identified the most common style selection errors that waste training time:

Mistake #1: Choosing based on aesthetics alone – That cool Sumo belly flop means nothing if you hate tanky playstyles

Mistake #2: Spreading stats across multiple styles early – Focus on one complete style before starting a second

Mistake #3: Ignoring stat requirements – Don’t start training for Sumo if you haven’t invested in Fat stat

Mistake #4: Skipping the meta styles – While any style can work, some are objectively stronger in the current balance patch

Mistake #5: Never practicing combos – Unlock the moves but never master them in training mode

Style Tier List for PvP March 2026

Based on competitive play at high Training Power levels, here’s how styles currently rank:

S-Tier (Tournament Viable):

• Boxing – Superior defensive tools and counter-play
• Muay Thai – High damage with excellent trading potential

A-Tier (Competitive):

• Taekwondo – Balanced with strong passive abilities
• Wrestling – Dominates in grab-heavy metas

B-Tier (Viable with Skill):

• Karate – Solid fundamentals but outshined by specialists
• Sumo – Powerful but telegraphed attacks and unique requirements

Note: This tier list reflects high-level play. At beginner and intermediate levels, player skill matters far more than style choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I learn multiple fighting styles?

Yes! You can learn all six styles on a single character. Each costs $5,000 and requires meeting that style’s stat requirements. However, you can only have one style equipped at a time during combat.

How do I switch between styles I’ve learned?

Visit any style trainer you’ve already learned from and interact with them. They’ll allow you to switch to that style for free (no additional cost after the initial $5,000).

What happens to my style XP when I switch styles?

All XP for each style is saved independently. If you have 500 XP in Boxing and switch to Karate with 200 XP, you’ll maintain both progress levels when switching back and forth.

Can I refund a style if I don’t like it?

No, all style purchases are permanent. This is why testing styles through observation and research (like this guide!) is crucial before spending $5,000.

Do style requirements increase as you level up?

No, stat requirements remain constant. However, as you progress through limit breaking, you’ll naturally exceed these requirements by significant margins.

What’s the fastest way to earn $5,000 for my first style?

Complete the “Clean the Floor” job at Big Al’s Pizza repeatedly. It’s the most consistent early-game money source, paying 150-200 per completion and taking only 90 seconds.

Can I use skills from one style while wearing another?

No, only style-locked skills are restricted, but you can only execute moves from your currently equipped style. This prevents overpowered combinations and maintains style identity.

Which stats should I prioritize first?

Focus on Stamina early since it’s required by all styles and affects training capacity. Then specialize based on your chosen style’s specific requirements.

Pro Tips for Style Mastery

After mastering all six styles, here are insider secrets that separate good fighters from great ones:

Practice in Training Mode daily – Spend 10-15 minutes drilling combos against dummies before PvP sessions

Learn one style’s matchups completely – Understanding how your style beats/loses to each other style is more valuable than knowing six styles superficially

Save style-locked skills for critical moments – Don’t waste your most powerful moves on low-health opponents

Mix up M1 and M2 patterns – Predictable attack patterns get punished by skilled opponents

Master dodge timing – Styles with dodge frame bonuses reward precise timing more than button mashing

Manage stamina aggressively – Running out of stamina mid-combo is a death sentence against competent opponents

Join the Discord community – Learning from experienced players accelerates your improvement more than solo practice

Conclusion: Choose Your Path

Mastering Fistborn’s fighting styles requires patience, proper stat investment, and countless hours of practice. Whether you’re executing devastating Muay Thai strikes, grappling opponents with Wrestling throws, or countering with Boxing precision, each style offers a unique path to PvP dominance.

Start with Karate to learn fundamentals, experiment with different styles as your stats grow, and eventually commit to mastering 1-2 styles completely. The journey from knowing basic combos to executing perfect style-locked skill chains takes time, but the satisfaction of outskilling opponents through superior technique makes every training session worthwhile.

Remember: Stats unlock styles, but skill wins fights. A player with 500 TP and perfect combo execution will defeat someone with 2000 TP who button-mashes. Focus on mastering mechanics, understanding matchups, and consistent practice.

Now get out there, choose your style, and prove yourself in the arena! The streets of Fistborn await, and with this comprehensive guide, you’re equipped to dominate.
