Styles Tier List Kuroku’s Basket Showdown

The nice thing about Kuroku’s Basket Showdown is that there aren’t many styles to choose from. With only four styles currently available, it’s pretty easy to get familiar with all of them and pick the one that works for you. That’s the other nice thing: No matter which style you get from the gacha, you can always play around it and be a valuable asset to your team.

Unfortunately, even though you can learn how to play using each style, some of them are just overall better than others, hence the gacha and the rarity system. Knowing this, here’s our Tier list of all Styles in Kuroku’s Basket Showdown.

As we said in the beginning, no matter which style you use, you can always be useful to the team as long as you take full advantage of your abilities. For this tier list, we focused on the adaptability, variety, and rarity of each style. Basically, we asked ourselves which style we would be willing to take in almost any situation during a heated match.

S-Tier – Aomino Style

Believe it or not, we think this Epic style trumps the Legendary style, and here’s why: unlike Kagame, the Aomino style is useful even when you aren’t near the opponent’s hoop. This is mostly because of the Back Spin and the Awakening Move. Once you get close to the hoop, you can simply make a Formless Shot and get points for your team. Versatile, powerful, and easy to learn. If we had to pick the best, we’d pick the Aomino style.

A-Tier – Kagame Style

Now, even though we choose Aomino over this one, it doesn’t mean that Kagame is a bad style, far from it. Once a Kagame player is near the opponent’s hoop, there’s nothing stopping them. The Dunk and the Awakening Move are almost unstoppable and the Jump move is really nice to have. The only downside to this style is that it’s not very defensive. Unless you time your Jump ability correctly, opponents can easily take your ball.

B-Tier – Tepei Style

Out of the two available Rare styles, we definitely had more fun with the Tepei. Why? Because of the Auto Pass and the Hook Shot. The Auto Pass makes the simple act of passing the ball to another player so much smoother. No more worrying about overpowering your pass or having your opponent intercept it. Now, the Hook Shot, is what really sold us on this. Nobody ever expects you to make a Hook shot when you reach the side of your opponent’s field, which is exactly the main reason why we like it so much.

C-Tier – Kuroku Style

Don’t get us wrong, there are a lot of times when the Kuroku style is useful. However, it only shines when you are dribbling the ball before eventually passing it to another player (with a better style). The Kuroku can dash through your opponents, and that’s about it. You can either dash to the side or the front, but it’s almost the same thing either way. Dashing can be useful and fun, but… it doesn’t win many games.

And there you have it. Keep in mind that our list is completely subjective and that no matter which style you use, you can always be useful to your team. If you need a boost check out our Kuroku’s Basket Showdown codes.
