The most important criterion that determines your overall gameplay in Basketball Zero is the style you pick for your character. While certain styles may appear effective during the initial phase, they often become ineffective, necessitating a switch to a more effective one. To avoid such confusion, I have made a style tier list.
All Styles Tier List in Basketball Zero
Below, I have ranked all the styles available in Basketball Zero according to their overall potential during a match. Go through each of them and choose the best one to win matches more consistently.
| Tier List | Style Name |
|---|---|
| S | Emperor, Ace, Giant, Copycat, Basketball God |
| A | Star, Sniper, Flash, Playmaker, Lock, Fetch |
| B | Phantom, Jackpot, Chuck, Quick |
| C | Clutch |
S- Tier
Any style that is mentioned under S-Tier is the best in the game, and you should try to acquire it without a second thought.
- Emperor: The Emperor is a Tier Style in Basketball Zero that has little to no counter because of its excellent kit, which includes all the skills, both offensive and defensive, to become the best player on the pitch. Firstly, you have the Emperor's Dribble + Ultimate Pass, which enables you to get past any player with ease and pass to any opponent for free anywhere on the pitch. Along with these, there are Emperor's Reach and Emperor's Defense skills that can block any incoming shots without breaking a sweat. It is the best style in the game and should definitely be equipped if you are aiming for the leaderboards.
- Ace: The Ace is the best style overall in Basketball Zero. The primary reason for this is that it is a balanced style that facilitates scoring and navigating past enemies in the game. Even the awakened skill offers unique dribbling and scoring abilities that surpass those of every other style.
- Giant: The Giant is another excellent ability in Basketball Zero, featuring an ideal mix of both offensive and defensive movesets in the form of Post Form and Snatch Block. The awakened form is also highly potent, guaranteeing a point every time you activate it within the scoring area.
- Copycat: The Copycat Style is a top-tier Style in Basketball Zero, as it allows you to replicate/mimic any Style of your opponent. As a result, you can directly counter your enemies by picking their more effective Style and using it for your team. The only downside is that you may be a bit less valuable when the enemy teams are using poor or less effective Styles in the game.
- Basketball God: The Basketball God is another Limited Style in Basketball Zero, ranked among the best due to its incredibly versatile kit, which allows players to excel in both offense and defense. Whether it's the Shamgod fake dribbling skill or the Reverse Dunk, all these abilities are suitable for various scenarios and can even put the other S-Tier skills to shame if appropriately used. While all the skills are good, I mainly like the Cutscene-based skill -Dunk over Heaven, which allows a player to fly in the air and dunk from anywhere on the pitch.
A- Tier
All styles in this tier are some of the best in the game, but they are only next to the S-Tier. Try to get one from this list if you are unable to roll something from the previous tier list.
- Star: The Star is the best style in the entire game for offensive-style players. Almost every ability in the kit is geared towards scoring goals from almost anywhere on the map. Additionally, the abilities are straightforward to use, making it even suitable for novice players with limited gameplay experience.
- Flash: The Flash is the go-to Style for all speed-based players. It is handy in repositioning a lot on the field and moving past enemies in an instant. The Style also features a great Awakening move that provides a free block at any time.
- Sniper: Indicative of its name, all of the abilities of Sniper are pretty quick, giving the opponent little to no time to the opponent. Whether it be Quick Release Shooting Move or the Perfect Arc, everything is swift. Along with quickness, the abilities also have a long range, especially the full-court ability, which enables players to shoot from a long distance, evading defending players.
- Playmaker: The Playmaker is the perfect style for players who love dribbling and moving around the field to find the ideal moment to pass the ball and help their teammates score points. All of the abilities, from Nutmeg to Alley Oop, are geared towards executing this strategy. So, if you are such a playmaker who wants to control the pace of the game, Playmaker should be your primary pick.
- Lock: The Lock is a slightly downgraded version of the Giant Style. However, it is highly effective for its tier due to skills like Intercept and Hands Up, which can even block air balls. The Style also features a unique Awakening called Clamps, which can steal the ball from any player and then make a direct shot toward the ring. If you like defending, this should be your next go-to Style apart from the Giant.
- Fetch: The Fetch is a style suitable for rebounders and support players. Firstly, you have the Dive ability, which allows you to jump from your position and grab loose balls to shoot again. Additionally, abilities like Floater enable you to perform free layups even outside the three-point line, making them perfect for rebounders and support players.
B- Tier
The following set of tiers is good for beginner-level players but should be replaced by something from the above tiers as you progress in the game.
- Jackpot: The Jackpot is a decent Style in Basketball Zero that is extremely good in some scenarios while bad in others. The main reason for this is the presence of RNG-based moves, such as Jackpot and Loaded Dice, which can provide good or no skills at all, depending on luck. However, it is still a viable style for players who love to dribble and steal the ball from opponents frequently.
- Phantom: Phantom is a decent ability for newbies who are still learning about how to move inside the game. I mainly like the invisible ability that works like magic against other newcomers, as it has an element of surprise. Also, other skills like Bullet Pass and Invisible Drive are team-based powers that help players develop the importance of team play.
- Chuck: The Chuck is an okayish Style that may be good for certain players while extremely bad for others. What makes it suitable is the dribble moves that are good for clearing past a few players, and what makes it less compelling is the RNG-based shooting abilities like Let Me Cook that have a 50/50 chance of making the hoop.
- Quick: Indicative of its name, the Quick is a style designed for players who adore speed-based builds. Almost every skill in the kit, like Dash Boost, is designed to make the player the fastest on the field. You can utilize these speed-based abilities in both defensive and offensive situations, enabling you to win matches consistently. However, there are features catered exclusively towards scoring or defending the ball in the game, making it a floater-type style suitable for midfielders.
C- Tier
All of the styles below are very poor and should not be considered unless you have exhausted all other options for a new style.
- Clutch: The Clutch is the worst style in Basketball Zero. The main reason for this is that the kit has nothing special about it, except for its average shooting move, Jump Stop, and defensive move, Pressure Defense. Additionally, the awakening move is relatively simple and does not significantly contribute to the gameplay aspect.
