If you’ve played games like Untitled Boxing Game, then you’ll be familiar with MMA Legends as well. In the game, there are lots of fighting styles that you can use to decimate and dominate your opponents. However, they all have different movesets, stats, advantages and drawbacks, which means some of the styles will be generally better than the others. In my tier list, I’ll be ranking all the styles in the game from best to worst, so you know which style you should be using.
Best Style Tier List
Currently, there are 12 styles that you can use in MMA Legends. As mentioned above, they all have different M1s, M2s, ultimates, as well as varying spread of stats. Some of the fighting styles deal more damage, some are faster, some are slower, which results with them having differences in terms of performance.
Keep in mind, every style in this game is viable, so I won’t even bother with a D-tier. No style here is irrelevant—everything has its place in the ring. How I’ll be ranking the styles is purely based on my opinion and thoughts.
S Tier
- Grappler – First, we have Grappler, my personal favorite and what I consider the best style in the game. Based on Baki, Grappler offers balanced stats but with incredibly high damage and guard break. While it’s not the fastest style, its ability to deal massive damage with well-timed counters makes it deadly.
- The Whiplash Barrage ability is easy to land and has a wide hitbox. The ultimate is also one of the coolest in the game. Grappler has everything you need: balance, power, and a satisfying playstyle, making Grappler the top S-Tier pick.
- Limitless – Inspired by Gojo Satoru, sits at the top of S-Tier. It has the highest stamina in the game and insanely fast M1s. The trade-off is low damage and minimal guard break, but the sheer volume of punches you can throw is overwhelming.
- The M2, a spinning back kick, is hard to predict and lands often. The style’s Counter ability also allows you to extend combos by teleporting behind your opponent. Limitless is a relentless style that thrives on outlasting your opponent, making it the best of the best in S-Tier.
- Flow – Inspired by Garou from One Punch Man, makes it to S-Tier. It sacrifices some damage and block for insane speed and dodging capabilities. You can essentially dodge endlessly without wasting stamina.
- Flow’s ultimate is a two-part move: first, you enter Rage Mode, where you get massive stat boosts. Then, you unleash Pulverizing Smash, a devastating attack. Flow’s speed and mobility make it a top-tier style, earning it a spot in S-Tier.
A Tier
- Muay Thai – This style offers balanced stamina and powerful abilities, like the Flying Knee, which deals significant damage and is easy to land. Its M2, an unpredictable elbow spin, adds an element of surprise, making Muay Thai a very strong style. The only drawback is a weaker block, but the combination of strong offense and versatility keeps Muay Thai firmly in A-Tier.
- Dempsey – Based on Hajime no Ippo, is a powerhouse. High damage, strong guard break, and the powerful Gazelle Punch make this style hit hard. However, it’s slower than other styles, and its predictable uppercut M2 can be easy to dodge. Despite that, Dempsey’s sheer power earns it a spot in A-Tier, just below Muay Thai.
- Drunken Fist – It’s all about unpredictability. It features wild, hard-to-read M1s, and its M2 is a literal cartwheel, making it difficult for opponents to predict your moves. It’s a gimmicky style with decent damage and stamina, but a weak block.
- While not the strongest in terms of raw stats, its unique animations and unpredictability make Drunken Fist a fun and effective style, earning it a spot in A-Tier.
- Irish – Inspired by Conor McGregor, is all about reach and counter damage. Its gimmick is that emoting or perfect dodging charges your ultimate faster, adding a cocky, in-your-face element. Its M2 is a tricky switch kick that’s hard to predict. The downside is low block damage, but the insane reach and counter damage make up for it. Irish is a strong contender in A-Tier.
B Tier
- Sumo – It’s once considered weak, has been buffed into a top B-Tier contender. Sumo is a tank — slow and heavy, but with incredible health, block, and resistance. It’s tough to penetrate a Sumo block, especially if you’re using a style with low guard damage like Karate. However, Sumo does have its drawbacks: a larger hitbox, slower speed, and poor dodging. Despite that, its high damage and strong defense make it a good style.
- Karate – It’s a good style, landing at the top of B-Tier. It recently got nerfed, but it’s still a fast, versatile option. Karate excels in speed and stamina, making it easy to outbox opponents. The highlight is its ability, the Imanari Roll, which has one of the highest damage outputs in the game. The downside? Low guard damage and health. Karate’s speed and powerful ability keep it in B-Tier.
- Wrestler – It has balanced stamina and speed, but its block is weaker, and the damage isn’t as high as other styles. However, what makes Wrestler stand out is its ability to take control of the fight. The wrestling ability is hard to dodge, and once it lands, it’s devastating. Think of Khabib Nurmagomedov if you’re familiar with UFC. Wrestler’s strength lies in its ability to control the ground game, and for that reason, it earns a B-Tier ranking.
C Tier
- Kickboxer – It’s essentially Boxer with an added twist: its M2 attacks slow down your opponent by 30% for 4 seconds. This makes it easier to win by decision, which can be a game-changer. However, it comes at the cost of a weaker block. Kickboxer is a step up from Boxer in terms of strategy, with that added bonus of the slow effect. A solid choice, but still in C-Tier.
- Boxer – It’s the definition of balance. No frills, no gimmicks. You’ve got balanced stats across the board: health, stamina, block, damage — everything. It’s a plain and straightforward fighting style.
- If you want to test how good you are without any pros or cons from a specific style, Boxer’s the one to go with. It’s effective, but it doesn’t stand out, so we’re putting it in C-Tier for now.
Grappler, Limitless & Flow dominates the game
That wraps up my tier list for the best styles in MMA Legends, where I’ve broken down each style’s strengths and weaknesses. Remember, my list is a guide, not gospel. Every fighting style brings their own flair to the game, and skill always plays a crucial role. So, whether you prefer the explosive power of a boxer or the relentless grind of a wrestler, the best style is the one that fits your game plan.
