Choosing a Breathing Style

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

How to Learn a Style

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

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

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.

Both styles are viable. They reward different playstyles, and the choice comes down to how you want to approach combat.
