How Fighting Styles Work
Fighting Styles in ITAMI determine how your character performs basic melee attacks (M1 combos). You choose a style during character creation and it affects your attack speed, damage per hit, combo length, and mobility. Your Fighting Style works alongside your Quirks abilities — it shapes the physical side of combat while Quirks provide supernatural powers.
Brawler delivers heavy, straightforward punches with higher damage per hit but shorter combos. Martial Artist uses fast kicks and punches with longer combo strings and superior movement. Choose based on your playstyle — raw power vs technical agility.
