Water Breathing A
Trainer Urokodaki · 5 forms · Unlocks at level 25 · Slayer path only
Water has the most complete launch kit: mobility, counters and a full-screen finisher, with an answer for every situation but no single overpowered move. Post-release buffs added hyper armor to its hold variant and a brief stun on a tap, extending its combos. The Urokodaki clan adds passive Water damage and stamina savings, and Tomioka extends it with cooldown resets for longer fights.
Where this tier comes from: The most split style on tier lists — rankings range from S (TechWiser, Destructoid) to C (GAMES.GG). Treat the rank loosely and read the kit.

The training tasks
Urokodaki sets six tasks: the shared five, plus a field task and a final fight with the Water Trainee. The tasks unlock one at a time and the quest marker leads to each training area.
- Meditation — Butterfly Mansion, second-room mat. Click each time the moving bar crosses the white marker until the meter fills.
- Cup Training — Butterfly Mansion, third-room mat. Pick the cup hiding the coin 10 times — a wrong pick costs one of three lives and the shuffle speeds up each round.
- Push Ups — Butterfly Mansion, push-up mat. Click each white circle as the inner ring touches its edge. Standing up with a red aura means the set failed.
- Aim Training — Butterfly Mansion, shooting range. Click the targets as they pop up on the boards.
- Field task — Varies by style (Boulder Split, parkour dungeon, underwater rocks…). Each style has one field task before the final fight — follow the quest marker.
- Trainee fight — Your trainer's training ground. Beat the style's Trainee NPC to unlock the style, then spend skill points on its forms in the Skill Tree.
Task spots follow the shared Butterfly Mansion mini-games reported across the breathing guides; each style's field task differs. Winning the trainee fight unlocks the style — then open the Skill Tree and spend your points on the forms.

How Water Breathing compares to the other styles
Within the tier list, Water Breathing's identity is its most complete all-round kit. The honest way to compare styles is by what they demand of you: Thunder demands hit-and-run discipline, Flame punishes whiffed openers, Water rewards patience, Serpent and Insect reward spacing, Stone rewards commitment, Wind rewards aggression, and Sound rewards positioning in group fights. None of that shows up in a tier letter — but all of it decides whether a style works for you. The fee matters too: at 5,000 Wen, Water Breathing is a mid-range unlock on the fee scale.
Skill tree order for Water Breathing
The style unlocks as a kit, but skill points decide how fast it becomes dangerous. The community-tested order: Form 1 first — your opener (Water Surface Slash) is the move you land most often, so its damage scales your whole game. Form 2 next (Whirlpool) for combo continuation, then Wall Climb and Double Jump if you have not bought them yet (trainer access and Final Selection both need them). Forms 3-5 (Water Wheel, Constant Flux, Dead Calm) follow as Wen allows — the last two forms are the biggest single jumps but also the most expensive, so take them when farming pays comfortably rather than at the edge of your balance. Every form sits on its own cooldown, which means each new form adds uptime, not just damage: by form three you should rarely be auto-attacking while waiting.
