Do I need a Fighting Style to fight at all?
No — the base Guard, Evade, Lock On, Rush Combo, and Finisher kit works without one. See the combat guide.

Rintama High Fighting Styles are NPC-purchased upgrades layered on top of the base combat kit — Guard, Evade, Lock On, Rush Combo, and Finisher — that every student already has for free. You need Yen before the NPC will sell you one, and the purchase is final. For a step-by-step change walkthrough with Beast vs Rush picks, see the change fighting style guide. Verified August 9, 2026.
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Currency | Yen — earned from Jobs, occasionally from codes |
| Vendor | Kamasaki Yuri, an NPC stationed away from the main courtyard |
| Styles at launch | Two — Beast and Rush |
| Refunds | None — the game explicitly warns previously spent Yen is not returned |
| Prerequisite | None — no prior quest or level gate confirmed, only enough Yen |
The purchase happens entirely through an NPC's dialogue menu in the world — there is no Fighting Style tab inside the Phone.

If you talk to Kamasaki Yuri without enough Yen, she turns you away rather than letting you start a purchase you cannot finish — so there is no risk of an accidental partial payment. The warning about lost Yen only appears once you actually have enough to buy the style you selected.
That confirmation screen is also where the exact prices show up, which is the next thing worth locking in before you make the trip.

Two Fighting Styles are confirmed at launch, and both prices have shown up consistently across multiple player sessions.
| Fighting Style | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Beast | 2,500 Yen | The cheaper entry point — realistic off a short first Job session plus starting Yen |
| Rush | 4,000 Yen | The pricier of the two; the NPC repeats the no-refund warning specifically on this one |
Both figures have shown up identically across separate community sessions, so treat them as the current in-game listing rather than a promotional rate. If the vendor ever adds a third style or adjusts a price, this page gets updated once that is confirmed in-game — this is a brand-new release, so the roster is worth rechecking after major updates.
The game does not publish a stat sheet comparing Beast and Rush, so the honest answer is to buy whichever you can afford first and actually practice it on Training Grounds — a style you have drilled beats one you picked from a tier list you cannot verify. Full base-kit mechanics both styles build on are covered on the combat guide.
Once you know what you are buying, the only thing left is actually reaching the vendor.
Kamasaki Yuri is not inside the school building — you need to walk out toward the surrounding streets to reach her.
The wider map is full of NPCs, and most of them are flavor dialogue rather than a shop or a Job. Walking the route to Kamasaki Yuri once is worth it early on so you are not hunting for her mid-session once you finally have enough Yen. Full location context, including how the campus connects to the rest of Hokuheki City, lives on the locations page.
Knowing the route is only half the job — the last thing worth locking in is what to double-check right before you hand over your Yen.
A short pre-purchase checklist saves you from the one mistake that actually costs money in this system: buying on impulse.
| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
| Buying whichever style is cheaper without checking your Yen total | Read the confirmation dialogue — it shows the exact price before you commit |
| Expecting a refund if you change your mind | The NPC states upfront that previously spent Yen is not returned |
| Skipping Training Grounds after buying | Practice the new moveset there before a real fight — see combat guide |
| Assuming a Fighting Style replaces Guard, Evade, and Lock On | It layers on top of the base kit rather than replacing any of it |
| Grinding Jobs with no Yen target in mind | Aim for Beast (2,500) or Rush (4,000) specifically — see Yen farming |
No — the base Guard, Evade, Lock On, Rush Combo, and Finisher kit works without one. See the combat guide.
2,500 Yen from the Fighting Style vendor, Kamasaki Yuri.
4,000 Yen — the NPC repeats the no-refund warning on this purchase specifically.
No — the confirmation dialogue explicitly warns that previously spent Yen is not given back.
Work Jobs from the Phone menu, and check codes for an occasional head start — see Yen farming.
Yes — return to Kamasaki Yuri via the change fighting style guide. Buying a style you do not own yet costs full Yen with no refund; re-selecting one you already own may show Free in the menu.
Two are confirmed at launch, Beast and Rush. This page updates if the vendor adds more.
