Kabuki has seven fighting styles, and the gap between the best and worst is massive. Muay Thai sits at the top with the fastest M1 attacks in the game, while Boxing sits at the bottom as a starter style that every other option quickly outpaces. Picking the right style from the start saves you rolls, time, and a lot of frustration in combat. Here is every Roblox Kabuki fighting style ranked from best to worst.
How does the Kabuki tier list work?
Styles in Kabuki are ranked on three things: attack speed, damage output, and how hard they are to actually obtain. The gacha system means rarity matters a lot here. A Legendary style that performs worse than a Rare one is a genuinely bad deal, and that factors directly into placement. Styles that let you chain combos and keep constant pressure on opponents rank higher. Styles that are slow, telegraphed, or just outclassed drop lower.
Rarity tiers in Kabuki run from Common up through Rare, Epic, and Legendary. Higher rarity does not automatically mean better performance, which is one of the more interesting design quirks in this game.

Which fighting styles are S-tier in Kabuki?
Muay Thai is the clear meta pick. It has the fastest M1 attacks of any style in Kabuki, which matters more than almost any other stat because speed is what lets you chain combos without gaps. Opponents simply cannot find breathing room against a well-played Muay Thai user. The heavy attack hits hard, damage output is excellent across the board, and it is relatively straightforward to obtain compared to other high-performing styles. The Kabuki Discord community backs this up consistently, with a large portion of experienced players pointing to Muay Thai as their go-to.
There are genuinely no meaningful downsides to Muay Thai at this point in the game's life.
Kabuki Fighting Style Tier List: Best Styles Ranked
Which fighting styles are A-tier in Kabuki?
Taekwondo comes in just behind Muay Thai and is arguably the most accessible strong style in the game given its Rare rarity. The attack speed is blistering, damage is solid, and the kick-based moveset gives it slightly longer reach than most other styles. That extra range makes a real difference in fights where spacing matters. The only reason it sits below Muay Thai is a marginal speed disadvantage, and that gap is small enough that Taekwondo is a completely legitimate choice if Muay Thai rolls are not going your way.
Karate earns its A-tier spot through a smooth, varied attack sequence that genuinely confuses opponents. The combo does not have an obvious endpoint, which makes it hard to react to. Attack speed is very fast, damage is good, and like Taekwondo it comes in Rare rarity so getting it does not require excessive grinding. The tradeoff versus Taekwondo is slightly less range, but at close quarters Karate is a menace.

Which fighting styles are B-tier in Kabuki?
Sumo sits in a complicated spot. On paper, it offers the highest raw damage output of any style in Kabuki, and its knockdown heavy attack pairs well with fast follow-up pressure. In a fully working state, it would likely sit in A-tier. The problem is an active bug: players taller than 5'11" in-game find that most of their hits do not register, because the style's animation constantly pushes the character backward. The developers are aware of this and a fix appears to be coming, but until that patch lands, Sumo is unreliable for a significant portion of players. Epic rarity makes it harder to obtain than the A-tier Rare styles, which compounds the frustration.
Once the bug is fixed, Sumo is worth revisiting seriously.
Which fighting styles are C-tier in Kabuki?
Lethwei has some genuine upsides: decent damage, a powerful heavy attack, and an unpredictable attack pattern that can catch opponents off guard. The issue is execution. The attacks feel sluggish and clunky, which undermines the unpredictability advantage because opponents have more time to react than they should. Being Epic rarity makes it a costly roll for a style that underperforms most of the alternatives at that investment level.
Silat is the most disappointing style in Kabuki given what it costs to get. Legendary rarity means you will burn through a significant number of rolls trying to obtain it, and what you get in return is very sluggish, unrewarding attacks. The damage is technically good and the moveset can throw off opponents when mixed with faster styles, but the core attack feel is so slow that landing hits consistently is a real challenge. The rarity-to-performance ratio here is genuinely poor.

Which fighting styles are D-tier in Kabuki?
Boxing is where everyone starts, and that is basically the entire story. The attack speed is passable, damage is okay, and it does have a reasonable level of smoothness for a starting style. The problem is that every other style in Kabuki outperforms it in at least one meaningful way, and most outperform it across the board. Boxing is fine for the first few minutes while you figure out the game. Replace it as soon as your first rolls come in.
What's the best fighting style in Kabuki for beginners?
Target Taekwondo or Karate first. Both are Rare rarity, which means they are far more likely to appear from your rolls than Epic or Legendary options. Both perform at A-tier, which is genuinely strong. You will not be at a disadvantage against most opponents while you save rolls for a potential Muay Thai pull. Muay Thai remains the overall best style, but the accessibility of the two Rare A-tier options makes them the practical starting point for new players.
