Picking the wrong style in Parkour Champions doesn't just slow you down, it can cost you entire races. The game's anime-inspired Champs each bring a completely different movement kit, and the gap between a Secret-rarity pick and a Rare one is enormous. After testing every style across multiple map types, here's a full breakdown of where each Champ lands and why.
All five Champ rarity tiers
Parkour Champions is one of the more skill-expressive games on Roblox, but the ceiling you can reach depends heavily on which style you're running. There are five rarity tiers, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythical, and Secret, and the general rule holds: higher rarity means better movement tools. You get Champs through rerolls in the Champs menu, and extra slots cost Robux, so picking the right one to invest time into matters.
Full Parkour Champions style tier list
Here's every style ranked based on mobility, awakening power, combo potential, and how well they perform across different map types.
S tier: the styles that win races
These three Champs have movement tools that simply don't have equals in the current meta. If you land one, build your playstyle around it.
100% Hero (Secret)
100% Hero is the most well-rounded style in the game and the easiest S-tier pick to actually execute, especially on mobile. Its kit has two standout tools.
BW Swing is the best parkour grapple available, offering extreme range and precise landing control. With practice, you can aim it to end up exactly where you want, which makes it devastating on any map with tall structures. Smash Jump adds a double vertical boost usable midair, and the speed increase triggers twice, giving you more height and momentum than most styles can match. The Awakening takes Smash Jump further, adding a flight component that covers extreme distance and height in one move.
For mobile players specifically, the swing and jump mechanics are forgiving enough that you don't need pixel-perfect timing to get value out of them.
Zaruto (Secret)
Zaruto thrives on long-distance maps with open paths. Teleport Switch lets you throw a projectile and instantly warp to its location on reactivation, meaning there's zero delay between input and movement. That no-lag teleport is what separates Zaruto from every other mobility style.
Clone Throw pushes you forward and upward with strong momentum, and the Awakening chains both into a map-crossing launch that can cover half the stage in a single use. On straight-path maps, Zaruto is arguably the fastest style in the game.
Stretch Man (Mythic)
Stretch Man rewards creative routing more than any other Champ. Arm Grapple has absurd range, pulling you toward targets from distances that would leave other styles stranded. Bounce Man keeps momentum alive through dashes and pairs naturally with the grapple for chained movement.
The Awakening converts the character into an energy form with free flight for its duration. That alone opens skip routes that no other style can access, making Stretch Man the go-to pick for anyone who wants to find alternate paths through maps.
A tier: strong styles worth mastering
These Champs perform well across most maps and reward time investment. None of them are dominant in every situation, but all of them are reliable.
Koku (Mythic)
Koku has clean vertical control through Power Jump and instant repositioning via Instant Teleport, which shifts you forward or upward over short to medium distances. Double teleport chains work well in city-style maps with elevation changes and tight turns.
The honest downside: Koku's Awakening is underwhelming for a Mythic. It gets the job done, but compared to Stretch Man's free flight or 100% Hero's flight-smash hybrid, it feels like a missed opportunity. The style is effective, just not exciting.
Sakuse (Legendary)
Sakuse is probably the most beginner-accessible style above Rare rarity. Hawk Glide gives directional control while airborne, which means small positioning mistakes mid-run are recoverable. Chakra Dash closes gaps instantly without setup.
The Awakening charges briefly then teleports you in the direction you're facing, horizontal or vertical. It handles wide gaps without needing complex sequencing, which is why Sakuse works well for players still learning map routes.
Kallui (Epic)
Kallui is the most fun style in the game for players who like speed-focused movement. Electric Fling launches you upward and activates a kickflip skateboard that boosts movement speed on flat terrain. The Awakening extends the fling distance further.
For tower climbs and vertical sections, the fling provides quick height gains. On flat stretches, the skateboard mechanic adds speed that other Epic styles can't match. It's genuinely creative and rewards players who learn the rhythm of switching between the two modes.
Gen (Epic)
Gen shines on horizontal maps where swing control determines race outcomes. Rod Swing functions like a Spider-Man grapple, covering both horizontal and vertical ground with strong mastery potential. Adult Form adds a forward dash with a speed bonus.
The Awakening sends you flying in a chosen direction after a short charge, giving Gen a strong burst option when the swing alone isn't enough. The style rewards practice more than most A-tier picks.
Torodoki (Epic)
Torodoki overperforms for its rarity. Flame Jet covers massive distance and feels closer to an awakening ability than a standard move. You can chain it for near-flight movement on longer runs. Ice Ramp creates a midair platform that acts as a double jump, letting you reset positioning when you lose height.
The Awakening is a stronger, faster version of Flame Jet. The kit is straightforward but effective, and Torodoki is a solid pick if you haven't landed anything higher rarity yet.
B tier: functional but outclassed
These styles work and have their moments, but every one of them has a clear weakness that higher-tier options don't share.
Yuroichi (Legendary) has a genuinely great Awakening, a fast steerable long dash that can correct your angle mid-flight. The problem is that Flash Step and Shunko Float feel like Epic-rarity abilities on a Legendary Champ. The base kit doesn't match the rarity investment.
Zoren (Rare) punches above its rarity. Slash Dash and Oni Path let you chain aerial movement through tricky sections, and the Awakening fires three rapid dashes in sequence for covering distance quickly. Short range compared to higher-tier styles is the main limitation, but Zoren is a legitimate option if you're working with Rare pulls.
Edward (Rare) dominates vertical movement. Stone Step gives a strong double jump, Wall Magic lets you climb or push off walls, and the Awakening adds a triple air jump. Tower maps feel easy with Edward. The catch is horizontal distance, where Edward has almost nothing, making flat or mixed maps a struggle.
C tier: skip if you can
Gaado (Rare) is the one style worth actively avoiding. Sand Steps provides a decent dash with a small upward lift at the end, and it's easy to obtain as a Rare. But Sand Grapple has short reach that pales against every other grapple in the game, and the Awakening shifts you into sand form with a speed boost that comes with a real fall risk. Compared to Zoren and Edward, which are also Rare, Gaado offers less in almost every category.
What's the best style for beginners?
100% Hero is the strongest answer here. BW Swing doesn't demand the same precision as Zaruto's teleport mechanics, and Smash Jump is forgiving on touch controls. You can build real race-winning habits with it before you need to think about advanced chaining.
If you haven't landed a Secret or Mythic yet, Sakuse is the next best option. The glide ability corrects mistakes mid-run, which is exactly what new players need while learning map layouts.
How does the pity system work for Mythic pulls?
A guaranteed Mythic appears at 50 Super Champ Spins through the pity system. Consistent daily play matters more than spending in bursts, since steady spin accumulation is the most reliable path to Mythic and Secret Champs.
