Ethnicity & Height Synergy

Gakuran has 6 ethnicities: Japanese, African, Middle Eastern, Latin, and Indian. Your ethnicity determines your height range, which directly affects combat.

  • Tall (African): More attack range and health. Best paired with Wrestling for maximum grab range and slam damage.
  • Short (Indian): More stamina, faster attacks, tighter hitbox. Best paired with Boxing for relentless pressure.
  • Medium (Japanese, Latin, Middle Eastern): Balanced. Works with Muay Thai, Karate, or Hakari.

All ethnicities are viable. Pick what matches your playstyle.
