Karate
Fighting StyleBalanced fighting style — AoE shockwaves and dash attacks.
Combat Ratings
Overview
A balanced fighting style with both single-target and AoE options. Seiken Barrage is a rapid dash-in pummel that closes distance instantly, Sixth Massacre launches you into the air before smashing down to create a devastating shockwave, and Tatsumaki is a spinning kick that hits all nearby enemies with stun. Great versatility for both PvP and PvE. The Karate Sensei is found near Bus Stop 3, close to Josuke Higashikata. Pairs well with AoE Stands like Weather Report and Killer Queen.
Moves
You dash toward your enemy, putting them in a pummel of smacks with your fists, then repeatedly hitting them till the end of your pummel, doing a dual punch. The best gap-closer among all fighting styles.
You swiftly smack the opponent, then quickly jump into the air — basically teleporting up — and smash your fist into the floor, creating a shockwave of power. Excellent in PvE for clearing groups and in group PvP.
You swiftly jump into the air with major force and spin around with your foot out, barraging anyone near your leg, forcing them to get stunned in your attacks. Fantastic combo extender.
