Quick Answer
Progress by training your stats, earning Yen from jobs, and rolling a strong clan + style. Use free code rerolls before Robux, and match your build with our build synergy guide.
The Three Layers of Power
1. Core Stats
Trained via in-game practice and combat. The foundation every build needs.
2. Last Name (Clan)
Passive multipliers from Rare/Supreme clans. The biggest single power spike when you land one.
3. Fighting Style
Your moveset and meta value. Pick one that fits your height and clan, per the tier list.
Efficient Early-Game Path
- Learn a Common starter style and its basic combos.
- Work Indeed jobs on a public server to build starting Yen.
- Redeem all active codes for free reroll spins.
- Hunt a Rare clan before spending any Robux.
- Train stats consistently; practice in dojos/PvP.
Where Progression Actually Stalls
New players rarely fail to progress because they picked the "wrong" style. They stall at one of four points, and each has a different fix:
Stall 1 — Spending rerolls randomly
Spinning the moment you get a reroll guarantees you never build toward anything. Decide what you are hunting first (a clan that matches your style, or a style that suits your body), then spend in one direction. See the perks guide for which source is worth the spins.
Stall 2 — Trading all day and never fighting
Yen is only useful once it is converted into power or cosmetics you wanted. If you have been grinding jobs for weeks but have not re-tested your build, you have income without progression — spend some of it, or spend your rerolls.
Stall 3 — Learning one combo and stopping
Your stats stop mattering once opponents read your opener. Add one punish route and one way to disengage; the posture and parry page covers the two mechanics that decide most exchanges.
Stall 4 — Chasing a body you cannot use
Height is the one choice you cannot reroll. If your height and your style fight each other — a slow style on a short body, or a rushdown style on a tall one — no amount of currency fixes the mismatch. Check the pairing before committing anything else.
A Practical Order of Operations
If you want a checklist rather than theory, this is the sequence that wastes the least:
- Learn a starter style properly. A common style played well beats a rare style played badly, and it costs you nothing to learn.
- Redeem every active code. Free reroll spins are the cheapest power in the game; the codes page tracks which are live.
- Set your body deliberately. Decide your height direction early, since it is permanent, and match your ethnicity to the hitbox you want.
- Build a Yen baseline. A steady job loop pays for cosmetics without draining your rerolls — see the economy guide.
- Then spend rerolls with a target. Clan first if your style is already settled, style first if it is not.
- Re-test after every balance patch. Progression in a live game is not a one-way line; a patch can move your build down a tier overnight, and the patch notes are where you find out.
