Gakuran Slugger: perks, damage and roll odds
A brawler built for tall rolls. It hits harder than anything at its rarity and shreds guards, but the Unstable perk means every trade cuts both ways.
Base numbers
| Rarity | Uncommon (7.5% per roll) |
|---|---|
| M1 (light attack) | 6.5% (5% base + passive) |
| M2 (heavy attack) | 10% (7.7% base + passive) |
| Combo | High-damage powerhouse |
| Signature | Highest block chip in the game, at the cost of taking more damage |
| Source | Official Trello card |
Perks
| Perk | Effect |
|---|---|
| Unstable | Deal 30% more damage, take 10% more damage |
| Guard Pierce V (MAX) | 30% block chip damage |
| Resilience III | 45% chance to clash into a grapple |
Where the sources disagree
Patch v7.148 on the official Trello changed Slugger to "+25% damage, +25% damage taken"; the current Trello style card still reads Unstable 30%/10%, which is what we print. Treat the exact figure as in flux.
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
- Muay Thai — M2 applies a stun on hit
- Karate — Best posture economy of the Uncommon styles
- Kickboxing — Slows enemy evasions and keeps heavy follow-ups available
