How to get it
You cannot pick a style. It comes from the roll in the Stats menu, at 7.5% per attempt — the reroll odds page turns that into an expected number of rolls, and free rolls come from codes. Height changes how the style plays: see the height and scaling tables.
Other Uncommon styles
- Slugger — Highest block chip in the game, at the cost of taking more damage
- Muay Thai — M2 applies a stun on hit
- Kickboxing — Slows enemy evasions and keeps heavy follow-ups available
