Complete Guide to Ryujin Roblox Fighting Styles: Best Builds & Moves
Master every Ryujin Roblox fighting style with our complete breakdown of moves, stats, scalings, and build recommendations.
Why Fighting Styles Define Your Ryujin Experience
In the brutal world of Ryujin, your fighting style isn't just a cosmetic choice — it's the foundation of your entire combat identity. Ryujin Roblox fighting styles determine your damage output, combo potential, mobility, and even how much health you can stack. Whether you're brawling in the streets or dominating the arena, picking the right martial art can mean the difference between getting curb-stomped and walking away victorious. Ryujin Roblox fighting styles each come with unique stat scalings, specialized moves, and distinct playstyles that reward different build paths.
This guide breaks down every available style, their trainers, move sets, and the optimal stat distributions to maximize damage. We'll also cover advanced mechanics like guardbreaks, concuss effects, and muscle scaling so you can build smarter.
All Fighting Styles at a Glance
Ryujin currently features six distinct fighting styles, each taught by a specific NPC trainer located somewhere in the world. Below is a quick comparison table to help you decide which path suits your build.
| Fighting Style | Trainer NPC | Location | Key Stats | Playstyle |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Combat | King | Starting zone | Strength | Fallback / reset option |
| Street Fighting | Muteba Gizenga | — | Strength, Agility | Dirty, aggressive brawling |
| Boxing | Saito Genzo | Outdoor Arena | Strength, Agility | Technical counter-punching |
| Taekwondo | Taehoon Seong | — | Strength, Agility | High-damage kicking combos |
| Sumo | Raiden Tameemon | Sumo Arena | Strength, Stamina | Tanky grappler, fat-based |
| Muay Thai | Euntae Lee | Nitro Gym | Strength, Agility | Balanced striking with elbows & knees |
How Scaling Works in Ryujin
Before diving into individual styles, it's critical to understand the scaling system. According to the official Ryujin Wiki on Fandom, stat scalings act as a total multiplier — all relevant stat scalings are added together, and then muscle scaling applies as another multiplier on top.
- Stat Scalings are expressed as fractions (e.g., Strength/130 means every 130 points of Strength contributes a multiplier)
- Muscle Scalings are tied to Upper Muscle or Lower Muscle values and stack on top of stat multipliers
- These scalings are not requirements to learn a style — they simply determine how much bonus damage you deal as your stats grow
Community reports indicate that investing heavily into the recommended stats and corresponding muscle groups can dramatically increase your effective DPS, especially for styles like Muay Thai that demand both Upper and Lower Muscle at 1000.
Street Fighting: The Dirty Brawler's Dream
Street Fighting is the first upgrade most players pursue after outgrowing Basic Combat. Taught by Muteba Gizenga, this style embraces ruthless, no-rules combat with moves designed to stun, guardbreak, and humiliate opponents.
Stat Scalings
| Scaling Type | Stat | Divisor |
|---|---|---|
| Stat | Strength | 110 |
| Stat | Agility | 250 |
| Muscle | Upper Muscle | 775 |
Move Set Breakdown
| Move | Base Damage | Cooldown | Special Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Attack | 4.5 | — | — |
| Heavy Attack | 6.0 | — | — |
| Discombobulate | 7.6 | 26s | 0.9s stun, 1.3s concuss |
| Low Blow | 9.4 | 29s | Guardbreak, 0.8s stun |
| Dirty Tackle | 5 + 6.2 | 27s miss / 35s hit | 1.4s stun |
| Curb Stomp | 8.5 (normal) | 38s | Bonus damage on ragdolled foes |
| Headbutt | 10.5 | 28s | 1.5s stun, 2.75s concuss |
Street Fighting shines in 1v1 scenarios where you can chain Discombobulate into Low Blow for a guardbreak combo, then follow up with Curb Stomp on a ragdolled opponent. The Headbutt is particularly devastating — its 2.75-second concuss effect leaves enemies disoriented long enough to reset your combo rotation.
Build Tip: Aim for high Strength with moderate Agility investment. The Strength/110 scaling means every 110 points adds a full multiplier, making it one of the more accessible styles to scale effectively.
Boxing: Precision and Counterplay
Boxing, taught by Saito Genzo in the Outdoor Arena, rewards players who prefer a methodical, counter-based approach. With Weave as a dodge mechanic and multiple guardbreak options, Boxing is arguably the most technically demanding style in Ryujin.
Stat Scalings
| Scaling Type | Stat | Divisor |
|---|---|---|
| Stat | Strength | 130 |
| Stat | Agility | 165 |
| Muscle | Upper Muscle | 800 |
Move Set Breakdown
| Move | Base Damage | Cooldown | Special Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Attack | 4.3 | — | — |
| Heavy Attack | 5.8 | — | — |
| Jab | 5.1 | 16s | 0.5s stun |
| Gazelle Punch | 10.1 | 18s | Guardbreak, concuss, damages eyesight |
| Corkscrew | 12.12 | 22s | Guardbreak, knockback, 0.7s stun |
| Weave | — | 12s fail / 20s success | 0.75s dodge window |
| White Fang | 5.8 + 4.3 | 27s | Two-hit combo, 0.9s stun |
The Corkscrew stands out as one of the hardest-hitting single strikes among Ryujin Roblox fighting styles, dealing over 12 base damage with a guardbreak property. Weave is the style's defining feature — a well-timed dodge that avoids one hit, giving you a window to counter with a Gazelle Punch or Corkscrew.
Build Tip: Boxing demands balanced Strength and Agility. The Agility/165 scaling is relatively forgiving, so you can afford to invest in both stats without gimping either multiplier.
Taekwondo: The Kick Specialist
Taekwondo offers the highest basic attack damage among the striking styles, making it a favorite for players who want raw M1 pressure. Taehoon Seong teaches this style, which scales off Lower Muscle rather than Upper Muscle — a key distinction from most other styles.
Stat Scalings
| Scaling Type | Stat | Divisor |
|---|---|---|
| Stat | Strength | 135 |
| Stat | Agility | 200 |
| Muscle | Lower Muscle | 800 |
Move Set Breakdown
| Move | Base Damage | Cooldown | Special Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Attack | 5.75 | — | Highest M1 among striking styles |
| Heavy Attack | 7.5 | — | — |
| 360 Kick | 8.25 | 19s | Dash attack, 0.5s stun |
| Axe Kick | 6.72 | 21s | AoE, guardbreak, 0.8s ragdoll |
| Flurry Kick | 1.3 × 8 | 26s | Multi-hit, 0.45s stun |
| Temple Hook Kick | 11.1 | 20s | Lunge, 0.7s stun |
| Back Kick | 11.8 | 32s | Guardbreak, 1.2s ragdoll |
Taekwondo's Flurry Kick is a standout — landing 8 rapid hits at 1.3 base damage each creates excellent pressure and can chip through guards when combined with the guardbreak on Axe Kick or Back Kick.
Build Tip: Focus on building Lower Muscle to hit the 800 threshold. Player experience suggests that neglecting leg development significantly nerfs Taekwondo's damage potential compared to upper-body styles.
Sumo: The Unbreakable Tank
Sumo is Ryujin's most unique fighting style, taught by Raiden Tameemon in the Sumo Arena. It requires fat as a resource, penalizes lean builds with a 35% damage reduction, and grants up to 50% bonus health at maximum Fat — compared to the standard 35%.
Stat Scalings
| Scaling Type | Stat | Divisor |
|---|---|---|
| Stat | Strength | 110 |
| Stat | Stamina | 350 |
| Muscle | Upper Muscle | 750 |
Move Set Breakdown
| Move | Base Damage | Cooldown | Special Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Attack | 7.0 | — | Highest M1 in the game |
| Heavy Attack | 9.0 | — | — |
| Stomp | 7.2 | 22s | AoE, guardbreak, 0.7s stun |
| Shoulder Bash | 8.55 | 20s | Dash, 0.6s stun |
| Slam Grab | 10.3 | 16s miss / 30s hit | 1.8s stun |
| Bear Hug | 12.5 | 19s miss / 26s hit | Grapple crush |
| Renshō | 2 × 5 + 4 | 35s | Multi-slap, 0.7s stun |
Sumo's 7.0 base M1 damage is the highest in the game, and the Bear Hug deals a massive 12.5 base damage. The catch? You need to maintain sufficient fat levels, or your damage gets nerfed. The more fat you carry, the longer your M1s stun opponents.
Build Tip: Sumo is the only style that scales with Stamina (350 divisor) rather than Agility. Invest heavily in Strength and Stamina while maintaining fat above the skill requirements.
Muay Thai: The All-Rounder
Muay Thai, taught by Euntae Lee at the Nitro Gym, is the most demanding style in terms of muscle investment — requiring both Upper Muscle and Lower Muscle at 1000 each. This makes it a late-game option for dedicated players.
Stat Scalings
| Scaling Type | Stat | Divisor |
|---|---|---|
| Stat | Strength | 120 |
| Stat | Agility | 225 |
| Muscle | Upper Muscle | 1000 |
| Muscle | Lower Muscle | 1000 |
With a basic attack of 5.0 damage and balanced Strength/Agility scaling, Muay Thai sits comfortably between the raw power of Sumo and the technical precision of Boxing. The dual muscle requirement means you need a well-rounded physique, making it the ultimate endgame style for players who've maxed their physical development.
Build Tip: Muay Thai is not recommended for early-game players. Focus on building both upper and lower muscle to 1000 before switching, or you'll be leaving significant damage on the table.
Choosing the Right Style for Your Build
Here's a quick decision framework based on player experience and community reports:
- Early game (low stats): Street Fighting — accessible requirements, strong utility moves
- Mid game (moderate stats): Boxing or Taekwondo — both offer strong damage with manageable scaling
- Late game (high stats, balanced muscles): Muay Thai — the premium all-rounder
- Tank build (high fat, high stamina): Sumo — unmatched health pool and M1 damage
- Reset cost: ₩100,000 in-game currency or 15 Ryujin Coins via Style Reset
Remember that you can always return to Basic Combat by speaking with King, who will wipe your current style for a fee. This makes experimentation viable if you're unsure which path to commit to.
FAQ
Q: How many Ryujin Roblox fighting styles are there? A: There are currently six fighting styles: Basic Combat, Street Fighting, Boxing, Taekwondo, Sumo, and Muay Thai. Each is taught by a specific NPC trainer located in different areas of the game world.
Q: What is the best fighting style in Ryujin for beginners? A: Street Fighting is widely considered the best beginner-friendly option. It has relatively low stat requirements, strong utility moves like Discombobulate and Low Blow, and scales efficiently with Strength at a 110 divisor.
Q: Can I switch fighting styles in Ryujin? A: Yes. You can reset your fighting style by talking to King (the Basic Combat NPC), who charges ₩100,000 in-game currency. Alternatively, you can purchase a Style Reset for 15 Ryujin Coins. Either option returns you to Basic Combat, allowing you to learn a new style from another trainer.
Q: Does muscle type matter for Ryujin Roblox fighting styles? A: Absolutely. Each style scales off specific muscle groups — Boxing and Street Fighting use Upper Muscle, Taekwondo uses Lower Muscle, and Muay Thai requires both. Neglecting the correct muscle group will significantly reduce your damage output since muscle scaling acts as a multiplier on top of stat scaling.
Q: Why does Sumo reduce damage for lean builds? A: Sumo is designed around the fat stat as a core mechanic. Lean builds take a 35% damage penalty because the style's moves are built around mass and weight. Sumo users also gain 50% bonus health at maximum Fat instead of the standard 35%, making it the tankiest style available.
