Update 47 brings a fresh balance pass and a full rework for Kazana, making it a perfect moment to reassess where every style stands in the current meta. This guide breaks down each tier from D to S+, explains why certain styles placed where they did, and highlights the major strengths and weaknesses that matter for actual matches. Whether you are rerolling, deciding what to keep, or checking if your current style still holds up, this tier list gives you a clear understanding of what to expect from each option.
D Tier Styles
These styles sit at the bottom due to extremely low stat spreads across nearly every category. They often fall behind in jump, surf, block, and speed, which limits their ability to keep up in rallies or consistent pressure.
Included Styles
• Tonura
• Sigumi
• Yashuske
• Hakoi
• Hinto
• Kishi
Why They Rank Low
The main issue is poor stat distribution. None of these styles excel in any major category, making them difficult to justify even for beginners. They struggle to contest spikes, maintain tempo, or make use of positional plays.
Recommended Action
Skip when rerolling. Replace as soon as possible.
C Tier Styles
These styles offer improvements over D tier but still lag behind what the mid-game and late-game meta demands. They may have one or two decent stats, yet the gaps are too significant to ignore.
Included Styles
• Yumuzuk
• Chui
• Amaz
• Ninjoku
• Oatsu
Why They Rank Low
Most of these have weak blocking power, slow surf, or unimpressive spike speed. Ninjoku in particular has spike weaknesses that keep it from being competitive. While slightly usable, they fall off fast as opponents gain better stat profiles.
Recommended Action
Acceptable for temporary use, but upgrade soon.
B Tier Styles
This tier marks the point where styles begin to feel reliable. Their stats are balanced enough to support consistent play, and several options here stand out as solid general-purpose picks.
Included Styles
• Bakuri
• Jokai
• Akosu
• Kozai
• Uch
• Azmi
• Suruku
• Kaioshin
Why They Rank Mid-Tier
Most styles here have one maxed-out stat with supportive secondary stats. Suruku, for example, reaches max bump and speed, making it ideal for fast-paced rotations. Kaioshin stands out with impressive all-round values except for surf, which is manageable with proper playstyle adaptation.
Recommended Action
Good for long-term players who want stability without relying on top-tier rolls.
A Tier Styles
Here the stat lines begin to show real competitive strength. These styles offer strong versatility, powerful spikes, and high-impact blocking potential. Many players will find that A-tier options are more than enough to compete at a high level.
Included Styles
• Maya Twins
• Akudo
• Kizuki
• Yogan
• Time Skip Okazu
• Okuro Yogan
• Harukumi
• Cayama
Why They Rank High
Harukumi and Cayama show max jump and block with impressive surf stats, allowing reliable pressure in both defense and offense. Yogan provides potent stat max-outs across several categories, giving it an edge in momentum-heavy rallies.
Recommended Action
Strong picks for serious play. Worth keeping if you roll one.
S Tier Styles
This tier marks the upper level of performance where styles begin to dominate. These picks are powerful enough to influence match flow, punish weak rotations, and convert rallies into consistent points.
Included Styles
• Hidari
• Jeno
• Kazana (post-refresh)
• Sanju
• Taiu
Why They Rank High
The Kazana refresh significantly boosts its utility, though it sits on the border between S and S+ depending on player preference. These styles feature exceptional overall values and reliable execution across all major roles.
Recommended Action
Ideal for competitive players looking for high consistency without needing the absolute top tier.
S+ Tier Styles
These are the strongest styles in Update 47. They feature optimal stat spreads, absurdly strong performance in game-deciding categories, and unmatched efficiency in advanced play.
Included Styles
• Hakka
• Time Skip Cayama
• Time Skip Hinto
• Mikaj
Why They Rank Top
Each style here delivers meta-defining stats. Time Skip Cayama and Time Skip Hinto dominate the court with peak blocking, jump, and surf control. Mikaj rounds it out with a stat set that maintains pressure in every rally. Hakka remains a staple for players who value raw efficiency.
Recommended Action
If you pull any of these, keep them. They define the top of the current meta.
This tier list reflects the current impact of Update 47, especially with Kazana’s refresh shifting the S tier borderline. While small tweaks may arrive in follow-up patches, these rankings represent the strongest options available right now.
