If you’ve been grinding Mugen, you already know that your choice of style completely changes the way you play. Some offer heavy burst damage, while others give you insane sustain and buffs that let you dominate longer fights.
Below, I’ll walk through the current best styles in the game, explain why they’re strong, and also highlight the upcoming Beast Style that players should be excited for.
Roblox Mugen Best Styles Tier List 2025 – Beast Style Update
Here’s the current ranking of the best styles in Demon Slayer Mugen:
S-Tier (Meta Defining)
- Shockwave (Akaza)
- Flame
A-Tier (Strong but situational)
- Sickles (Gyutaro)
Upcoming Potential S-Tier
- Beast Style (Inosuke)
Shockwave (Akaza)
Shockwave isn’t just good, it’s broken when used aggressively.
- Buffs: Gives you Range + Durability, meaning your combos hit further and you survive longer.
- Moveset:
- Disorder – a barrage that melts guards.
- Compass Needle – lets you bait and predict opponents, forcing mistakes.
- Air Type – projectile-style hit that extends combos and chips from a distance.
- Why it’s the best: Akaza’s Shockwave has everything — range, pressure, unpredictability, and a buff that turns trades in your favor. Once you learn to bait opponents, blocking becomes useless against you.
Playstyle: Go all-in. Shockwave shines when you stay aggressive, forcing your enemy to panic and misplay.
Flame – Top 2 Style
Flame is all about buffs and explosive damage.
- Buffs: The R ability grants Strength + Durability, effectively giving you extra HP and harder hitting moves.
- Moveset:
- First Move: A long dash strike across the map for gap closing.
- Rising Sun: Short range but great in M1 combos.
- Third Move: A strong follow-up that becomes devastating when buffed.
- Why it’s strong: Flame thrives in both duels and public lobbies because it can tank more damage than other styles while still outputting massive burst damage.
Playstyle: Balanced. You can rush in, but the durability buff means you can also afford to play slower and wait for your opening.
Sickles (Gyutaro) – Top 3 Style
Often underestimated, but now one of the most dangerous.
- Burn + Bleed: His Poison Vein ability applies damage over time, stacking bleed and burn with every hit.
- Moveset Highlights:
- Projectile attack for ranged poke.
- Grab move that extends combos.
- Poison-based buff that turns all normal attacks into chip damage machines.
- Why it’s strong: Sickles wear down enemies over time while still dealing solid burst. Perfect against opponents who rely too much on blocking.
Playstyle: Flexible. You can stay back with projectiles or rush with buffs. Works well if you learn to predict movement.
Beast Style
Unpredictable Aggression: Likely to have multi-hit, fast-paced combos with high mobility.
Guard Pressure: Inosuke’s fighting style is wild and relentless, so expect strong moves that break blocks.
Survivability: Beast Breathing in the anime emphasizes instincts and adaptability, which could translate to counter mechanics or enhanced dodges.
Beast Style could easily rival Shockwave if it comes with both speed and combo finishers. If the devs balance it right, this will be the next style everyone wants to spin for.
Right now, Shockwave (Akaza) holds the crown as the best style in Demon Slayer Mugen thanks to its mix of range, damage, and buffs. Flame is the most reliable all-rounder, while Sickles reward players who like applying constant chip damage with poison and bleed.
