Grand Blue Fighting Styles
Direct answerFighting styles are your normal-attack layer and skill kit. Community sources consistently describe four styles with trainer-based unlocks — Swords and Brawler are the two with reported progression routes (post-Clown Town), while the other styles' names, trainers and requirements stay HOLD until verified.
What styles are for
Fighting styles shape your M1 (light attack) layer and provide skills you slot for combat. The official description lists fighting styles among the systems you 'master'; community walkthroughs describe style trainers and skill scrolls as the unlock path.
Styles with reported evidence
| Style | Reported role | Unlock route | Evidence |
| Swords | Melee weapon kit | Unlocked along the Clown Town → Maple Village route (community) | Community (2 sources) |
| Brawler | Fist/melee kit | Same progression line; trainer location reported | Community (2 sources) |
| Style 3 & 4 | Names/roles reported but conflicting | HOLD | Conflicting / Unverified |
Trainers & skill scrolls
Gameplay videos describe NPC trainers and skill-scroll sources, but exact names, prices and locations conflict. Check the current server: Early Access moves NPCs and requirements between updates (PRD high-risk field).
Choosing a style
- Melee-first builds: Swords / Brawler give a physical attack layer before you have a strong fruit
- Fruit-heavy builds: a style still matters for your M1 layer and stamina of play
- Match the style to the trainer you can actually reach at your progression stage (see Progression)
What we don't publish
No skill damage numbers, cooldowns, trainer prices or 'best style' verdicts. Exact sword/scroll costs and requirements stay HOLD until verified in live gameplay.
Frequently Asked Questions
Community sources report 4 styles (and 4 trainers). Only Swords and Brawler have named, multi-source routes so far.
Reported path: follow the island route to Clown Town and beyond, find the style trainer and meet the requirements. Exact costs and locations are unverified — confirm in-game.
Community builds use melee styles as the physical layer before/alongside fruits. Role fit matters more than a 'best style' verdict.
Because their names, trainers and requirements conflict across sources and none is officially published.
