Basketball Zero, previously known as Basketball Rivals, has a variety of different playstyles inspired by Kuroko’s Basket characters. Based on the flexibility and power of these moves as well as how good the awakenings are, I rated all of them from S to C-Tier. Here’s my Basketball Zero styles tier list and all moves showcase.

All Styles in Basketball Zero Ranked

I’ll be ranking Basketball Zero styles from S-Tier to C-Tier here and if you want a full showcase of all moves from each style check it out below the tier list explanations. As for the ranking criteria, S-Tier styles have the best combination of powerful offensive and defensive moves and are highly flexible. A-Tier styles are powerful like S-Tier but are more specific in their use and require certain scenarios to make them S. Lastly, B and C-Tier styles aren’t bad, they just either don’t have as many moves or the moves are slightly less powerful than the higher tiers. Note that you can click on a style you want when rolling to increase roll chances by 10%.

S-Tier Basketball Zero Styles

Style	Rarity	Ranking Reason	Pros & Cons
Emperor	Miracle	Emperor is a power creep style with tons of moves that makes some styles seem underpowered and outdated. You have amazing defense with Emperor Dribble and Reach, amazing mobility with Emperor Drive, and an okay support option with Emperor Pass. The downside is that you don’t have shooting moves besides the Emperor awakening move. But you don’t need shooting moves when you have Emperor’s Defense to block all shots and an incredibly powerful array of non-awakening moves to control the court. Easily a top 3 style in Basketball Zero.	+ Amazing set of base moves for mobility, defense, and support + Best defense in the game with Awakening Emperor’s Defense + Highly Flexible against all styles – Lacks shooting moves
Perfection	Perfect (Event)	This is the most mobile style in the game with Perfect Dribble and Blink and if you combine this with your regular Dribble and play well, you’ll be almost untouchable. It’s not crazy overpowered despite the new rarity but it’s definitely extremely flexible with offense options through Perfect Dribble shoot variation and defense via Blink’s air variation. It’s even got some support potential with the Perfect Play Awakening but that Evolution buff that increases speed and Dribble is crazy good.	+ Most Mobile Style + Flexible Offense, Defense, and Dribble + Powerful Awakening Buff – Requires Skill and Aggression for Full Potential
Ace	Mythic	With the rework, Ace is back in S-Tier! The new Athletic Drive is much more difficult to predict and block and it even has an off-ball version to catch up to players that Dribble away from you. Athletic Fade is also better but the main thing is the new 100% Drive Awakening that drastically boosts your speed if you mash Space and makes you Dribble constantly as you reach the hoop to score. This is an amazing rework.	+ Best Dribbling Moves + Best Carry in Public Games + Some of the most powerful Awakening Moves – Aomine Daiki has no weaknesses
Jackpot	Mythic	You get an OP dash, pass, and steal with their own stun versions and these are just the base moves. Just with those this is an A-Tier style but then you introduce the Awakening to get randomized effects like the 100% steal and ankle break rate for S-Tier. This is a hard style to master but it’s incredibly powerful offensively.	+ One Of The Best Move Combinations + Highly Flexible in All Roles + Excellent Offensive Power – Hard to Learn and Can be Unpredictable
Giant	Mythic	Giant is on one hand weaker than Ace and Flash if you don’t get enough support from your team since you need to get in close so you need Posterizer or Streetdribbler to reach the dunk range. However, if you do have a good team, Giant can be a menace due to much better moves than Star who has a similar playstyle and the best defense-offense mix in the game. It has the potential to be a solo carry on offense and defense with the right zone.	+ Powerful Dunking Moves + Best Defense/Offense Mix – High Cooldowns – Not Flexibile like Ace or Flash
Copycat	Mythic	Copycat is really fun to play but if you don’t get the right styles to copy or you copy the wrong style at the wrong time, it can really struggle power-wise for S-Tier. While it’s highly flexibile, you heavily depend on who you’re up against and managing your cooldowns. That said, in a meta environment where everybody plays the best styles Copycat really shines. That Awakening steal chain ability guarantees Copycat a place in the upper A or lower S with the potential to go higher depending on your skill and the enemy team’s styles	+ Most Flexible Style + SSS-Tier Potential Depending on Enemy Styles – Highly Dependent on Enemy Team’s Styles

A-Tier Basketball Zero Styles

Style	Rarity	Ranking Reason	Pros & Cons
Basketball God	Limited	Basketball God is a great new Limited style and surprisingly it’s not as broken OP as Perfection was on launch, it’s just a good overall choice and fun to use. It’s got an amazing combo mix of mobility and dribble moves without Awakening that make you hard to block on the offense. Then when you’re in Awakening you have powerful shooting moves. Play this as aggresively as possible to reach max potential.	+ One of the fastest offensive styles in the game + Amazing mix of mobility, dribble, and shoot moves – Lacks defense and team support
Playmaker	Epic	Playmaker is an incredibly strong utility and support style right now. The Nutmeg is a powerful dribble move that you have to get used to since the ball drops away from you. And the instant Alley Oop move is incredibly fast and almost unblockable if you have a teammate. Overall, with the Awakening Push Off move for solo scoring as well, Playmaker allows for tons of free points.	+ Alley Oop Best Support Scoring Move + Incredibly Flexible Support and Scoring – Only One Awakening Move
Lock	Legendary	Lock is an incredibly defensive focused style and it’s not in S-Tier because it lacks the flexibility like Giant. It has the potential to be better than Giant defensively if you play it right to shutdown the enemy team. It’s the best defense-oriented style, specializing in blocking passes and shots. Its Awakening move Clamps both shuts down the enemy player and lines up your teammate to score. Needs practice but this is a high A-Tier defense style and in some cases S.	+ Defense-Focused Style + Shuts Down The Enemy Team – Not Flexible For Offense
Flash	Legendary	Flash is slightly similar to Ace in power and even though Ace is better in my opinion Flash is still excellent. It’s got a great mix of mobility and dribble moves and overall you can get it more easily so it’s a great second choice for a similar playstyle.	+ Extremely Flexible + Excellent Dribble and Mobility – A Weaker Version of Ace
Star	Legendary	The Star rework really did wonders for the style. The dunking and mobility moves really feel a lot better and more difficult to block and the Awakening moves are much stronger than before. From B to A easily.	+ A Great Mobility Move + Best when played aggressive – Needs to Get In Close

B-Tier Basketball Zero Styles

Style	Rarity	Ranking Reason	Pros & Cons
Phantom	Epic	You are the best support in the game with some scoring potential. This means that if you’re playing with a pre-made group of friends via voice-comms who know what they’re doing this is S or at least A-Tier. If you’re playing with randoms who suck, you’re wasting your potential with passes. Long story short, you need a good team for Phantom to shine like in the anime/manga.	+ Best Support Moves + Excellent Mobility – Highly Dependent on Your Team – Only One Shooting Move
Sniper	Legendary	Sniper is incredibly powerful with half-court and full-court shooting but you need a good team for it to be a higher tier. If you’re playing with friends via voice comms and can coordinate your passes and shots, Sniper is easy A-Tier. If you’re playing with low-skill randoms or against a good team it can get a bit difficult since you have no mobility move so it’s B-Tier in that case or lower.	+ Best Shooting Moves in the Game + Auto-aim and Guaranteed-score moves – Highly Dependent on Cooldowns and Positioning – No Mobility Moves
Clutch	Rare	While you only have one Awakening move instead of two, Clutch is both a beginner option that’s usually weaker than the rest but it can also be quite powerful if you take your time to learn the game. Its steal move is incredible and the shoot move is difficult to block. While it lacks mobility moves, I’ve been playing it to great effect against higher rarity styles, you just need practice and to understand the game mechanics well to make full use of the moves. It might be A-Tier ngl.	+ Easy to Get + Powerful Steal and Shoot Move – Only One Ultimate/Awakening – No Mobility Moves
Fetch	Epic	Overall this is a skill-based style that isn’t good if you don’t put in the hours to practise the perfect timings to use Dive and the Awakening Catch. Dive is best after rebounds to get the ball back and Catch can be an MVP play of the game if you block key passes and shots. Floater is just an all-around good shooting move so there’s a lot to like about Fetch if you can master it. It has the potential for A-Tier.	+ Great mix of offense and defense + Very skill-based with high potential – Lacks good mobility and dribbling moves
Quick	Rare	Quick is a very boring and basic style to play but still, I prefer it over Chuck since you’re actually doing useful things with speedboosts and dashes. Dash is off-ball only so you can use it to catch up to someone using a Dribble or just overall mobility across the court. Boost is also pretty decent for offense and the Awakening move is alright. A very mid-style that’s more useful than Chuck so it’s still good.	+ Very mobile style – High cooldowns

C-Tier Basketball Zero Styles

Style	Rarity	Ranking Reason	Pros & Cons
Chuck	Rare	While Chuck can be extremely fun to play with its high-risk high-reward playstyle, I don’t find it reliable for higher-level games. It’s a subjective thing but I prefer Jackpot if I’m going for a luck-based mechanic since the rewards are greater. You can still win games with Chuck but in those clutch moments where you really need to score, Chuck can fail you.	+ Easy to Get & Fun to Play + High-Risk High-Reward – Not Reliable – Luck Based
