Choosing a Breathing Style

Breathing styles are KimetsuCraft's combat specialization system. You pick one, and it permanently shapes how you fight. Three styles are currently available: Water Breathing, Flame Breathing, and Thunder Breathing.

How to Learn a Style

Find a Hashira or Slayer NPC in the world and speak with them. Rengoku teaches Flame, Giyu teaches Water, and Zenitsu teaches Thunder. Generic Slayer NPCs teach whatever style they practice.

For more on finding and interacting with these NPCs, see Hashira and Slayers.

By default, the direct style-selection screen is restricted to operators. In survival, learn through NPC dialogue. Server owners can change this in Gameplay Settings.

The Styles

Each breathing style has its own identity, passive abilities, and set of 8 techniques. Read about them in detail on their dedicated pages:

• Water Breathing — Defensive and versatile, with passive bonuses that are always active.
• Flame Breathing — Aggressive and momentum-driven. The longer you fight, the stronger you get.
• Thunder Breathing — Fast, resource-focused, and built around generating and consuming Thunder Marks.

Each style rewards a different approach to combat.
