Gakuran Boxing verdict

Stable high-tier PvP pickCommonly rated highlyHigh confidence

Boxing is one of the safest styles to keep if you want reliable PvP pressure without the defensive downside of riskier picks. Current public sources commonly rate it near the top because its heavy attack protection, parry reward, and Guard Pierce chip all support consistent fights.

Keep Boxing if you want safer heavy timing, steady block pressure, and a style that rewards good defense instead of forcing all-in damage trades.
Consider rerolling only if you prefer burst combo windows, extreme mobility, or a style built around high-risk damage spikes.

Reported rarity

Epic in current lists

Several public guides list Boxing as Epic, but in-game rarity text should outrank third-party labels after updates.

Key mechanic

Untouchable iFrames

Current sources describe Boxing M2s as having iFrames or being uninterruptible, forcing opponents to parry, dodge, or disengage.

Parry reward

Perfect Reflex

Public style notes commonly say Perfect Blocks reduce the current M2 cooldown by 1 second.

Best fit

Consistent pressure players

Boxing rewards players who want controlled trades, parry value, and fewer openings for opponents to interrupt.

Untouchable, Perfect Reflex, and Guard Pierce

Boxing is strong because its reported mechanics work together. Treat exact wording as community-reported until the current in-game tooltip confirms it.

MechanicReported effectPractical use
UntouchableBoxing M2s are commonly described as having iFrames or being uninterruptible.Use it to challenge normal attacks, force a defensive answer, and control when close-range trades happen.
Perfect ReflexPerfect Blocks are reported to reduce the current M2 cooldown by 1 second.Good parry timing gives Boxing more access to its safest pressure tool instead of only resetting neutral.
Guard Pierce IIICurrent coverage links Boxing with 20% block chip damage.Chip pressure makes passive blocking less safe, especially when you mix M1 rhythm, spacing, and M2 threat.
Heavy timingVideo guides repeatedly point to Boxing heavy pressure as hard to interrupt.Do not spam it. Delay, reposition, or bait parries so opponents cannot simply wait for the same timing.

Why Boxing is treated as a stable PvP choice

Boxing is not just about one flashy iFrame. It is rated highly because its tools reduce the number of bad situations you have to accept.

Engagement control

Untouchable makes opponents respect your heavy timing instead of freely interrupting every approach.

Defense becomes pressure

Perfect Reflex turns a clean parry into more M2 uptime, so defensive reads help you attack again faster.

Blockers still lose ground

Guard Pierce III gives Boxing a way to make holding block uncomfortable without relying on reckless all-in plays.

Best Boxing build and height notes

The safest Gakuran Boxing build advice is to match height to how you want to pressure. Height information is community-tested and update-sensitive.

Most players should test Boxing on average or shorter height first. Do not spend Robux on height changes unless the in-game prompt clearly confirms what will reroll.

Short build

Fastest pressure feel

Shorter builds are often recommended with Boxing because faster movement and recovery can make M1 rhythm, side movement, and iFrame timing harder to catch.

Average height

Safest default test

Average height keeps enough reach while staying flexible. Use this if you want to learn Boxing before committing to an extreme.

Tall build

Reach-focused option

Tall builds can help spacing and reach, but slower rhythm can make Boxing feel less slippery against players who bait M2.

Who should keep Boxing

Boxing fits players who want a strong style without needing a high-risk damage penalty or a long combo setup.

Consistent climber

Best fit

You want reliable pressure, fewer bad trades, and a style that still works when fights are tense or messy.

Parry-focused player

Great fit

You already look for Perfect Blocks and want those defensive wins to feed directly into M2 cooldown value.

Pure burst player

Weaker fit

If you only enjoy fight-ending combo windows, Hakari may feel more exciting than Boxing's steady pressure plan.

Strengths and weaknesses

Boxing is strong because it is forgiving by high-tier standards, but predictable Boxing still loses to patient opponents.

Strengths

  • iFrame heavy pressure makes normal interruptions harder.
  • Perfect Reflex rewards good parries with more pressure uptime.
  • Guard Pierce III helps chip opponents who only hold block.
  • Lower practical risk than Slugger-style damage tradeoffs.

Weaknesses

  • Predictable M2 timing can still be parried or dodged.
  • Burst ceiling is lower than Hakari when Hakari starts clean pressure.
  • Movement-heavy styles can make Boxing chase and overcommit.
  • Players who rely only on iFrames may neglect spacing, parry timing, and resets.

How to counter Boxing in Gakuran

The goal against Boxing is to deny free iFrame value. Do not mash into M2, do not turtle forever, and punish the Boxing player when their timing becomes predictable.

1

Respect the M2 window

If Boxing starts heavy pressure, avoid trying to interrupt it with normal attacks. Back up, dodge, or prepare a timed parry.

2

Bait the cooldown

Make the Boxing player spend M2 at a bad range, then re-enter once the safest tool is unavailable.

3

Vary your defense

Holding block invites Guard Pierce chip, but panic parries are easy to bait. Rotate reset, dodge, parry, and small punish attempts.

4

Punish repeated timing

Many Boxing users lean on the same approach rhythm. Once you read the M2 delay, your punish windows become much clearer.

Muay ThaiStronger reported block chip and posture pressure.Often demands more committed close-range aggression.Boxing keeps good chip while adding safer M2 timing and parry reward.
CapoeiraBetter movement identity and range reset potential.Requires more patience and spacing discipline.Boxing is easier to recommend if you want direct pressure and fewer movement reads.

  • Boxing is commonly rated highly, but this page does not treat any tier placement as official.

  • Short and average build advice comes from community combat testing, not official frame data.
  • Counterplay notes focus on practical PvP habits rather than guaranteed matchup wins.
