Rintama High fighting styles: change to Beast or Rush at Kamasaki Yuri, compare Yen prices, and practice your new moveset before Roleplay fights.
Watch the vendor dialogue and style switch flow before you spend Yen on Beast or Rush.
~13 min read
Players searching how to change fighting style in Rintama High already know styles exist — they need the exact NPC, dialogue line, and price before they commit Yen. Rintama High fighting styles are optional combat upgrades sold by Kamasaki Yuri outside the main campus; they layer on top of the free Guard, Evade, Lock On, Rush Combo, and Finisher kit rather than replacing any of it. This page is the step-by-step change path. Full pricing context, refund rules, and vendor map notes live on the dedicated Fighting styles hub. Verified August 9, 2026.
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| What styles are | NPC-purchased combat upgrades layered on the base melee kit |
| Vendor | Kamasaki Yuri — off-campus via footbridge → Horiguchi Area → Shofukucho District |
| Dialogue line | "I'd like to change my fighting style" |
| Paid styles | Beast (2,500 Yen) and Rush (4,000 Yen) — base kit is free; some menus also list a default style (e.g. Brawler) at no cost when owned |
| Refunds | None — the game explicitly warns previously spent Yen is not returned |
| Full pricing page | Fighting styles |
Changing your Rintama High fighting style happens entirely through an NPC dialogue menu in the world. There is no Fighting Style tab inside the Phone, and you cannot swap styles from character customization. Every first-time purchase runs through Kamasaki Yuri as a separate Yen transaction with no take-backs; re-selecting a style you already own may show Free instead.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Farm Yen until you have at least 2,500 for Beast or 4,000 for Rush — see Yen farming |
| 2 | Walk off-campus: exit toward the right-side road from the school grounds |
| 3 | Cross the footbridge, pass through Horiguchi Area, and reach Shofukucho District |
| 4 | Approach Kamasaki Yuri and open her dialogue menu |
| 5 | Choose "I'd like to change my fighting style" — not the idle flavor lines |
| 6 | Review the no-refund warning and confirm Beast or Rush |
| 7 | Practice on Training Grounds before your next real fight — see combat guide |
A Fighting Style is not a replacement for the base combat kit every student already has for free. Guard, Evade, Lock On, Rush Combo, and Finisher still work exactly the same once you buy Beast or Rush — the style adds its own attack patterns and combo routes on top of that foundation. Think of it as an extra moveset you unlock with Yen, not a class change that wipes your existing controls.
That distinction matters when you are deciding whether to buy at all. If you have not drilled the free kit yet, a Fighting Style will not fix bad Guard timing or a missing Lock On habit. The combat guide covers the base controls; this page covers the purchase path once you are ready to layer a style on top.
Two paid styles are confirmed at launch — Beast and Rush — sold from the same NPC at fixed prices. Your base Guard / Evade kit is free; some player menus also show a default style (sometimes labeled Brawler) that costs nothing when already owned. Full pricing is on Fighting styles.
Kamasaki Yuri offers several dialogue options when you talk to her. The one that opens the style shop is specifically "I'd like to change my fighting style" — picking anything else just gives you flavor text and sends you back to the map with your Yen untouched.
If you arrive without enough Yen for the style you selected, she turns you away rather than starting a purchase you cannot finish. That gatekeeping is useful: there is no risk of a partial payment or an accidental debit. The no-refund warning only appears once you actually have enough Yen to complete the transaction, which is exactly when you need to read it carefully.
The confirmation screen repeats the exact price — 2,500 Yen for Beast, 4,000 Yen for Rush — and states that previously spent Yen is not refunded. Treat that warning as final. There is no in-game undo, no support ticket path confirmed, and no second chance if you impulse-buy the wrong style.
Your new moveset is active immediately once the purchase goes through, but muscle memory from the base kit still applies. Beast and Rush each introduce their own light and heavy attack chains, and those chains interact with Guard and Evade the same way the free kit does — you still need to break an opponent's Guard before a Finisher lands.
The fastest way to internalize a new style is Training Grounds, a separate Roblox experience that stays open even when the main Roleplay server is gated. Load into Training Grounds, turn off Passive Mode, and drill your new combo routes against a dummy or a willing sparring partner before you queue for a real fight.
If you already own one paid style and want the other, return to Kamasaki Yuri and buy the one you lack — full price, with no credit from your first purchase. Once you own both, re-selecting either owned style at the NPC often shows Free; you still cannot swap mid-fight, only before your next encounter.
Rintama High does not publish an official stat sheet comparing Beast and Rush, so the honest answer is to buy whichever you can afford first and actually practice it. That said, community consensus and price positioning give each style a practical role. Use the table below as a decision aid, then confirm exact prices on Fighting styles before you spend.
| Fighting Style | Budget fit | Price | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beast | Entry pick | 2,500 Yen | First-time buyers on a Job budget | Cheaper paid option — realistic off a short first Job session plus starting Yen |
| Rush | Premium pick | 4,000 Yen | Players who already drilled the base kit | Pricier paid option; the NPC repeats the no-refund warning on this purchase specifically |
At 2,500 Yen, Beast is the style most new students can reach after a handful of Job shifts or a single working code redeem. It gets you fighting with a dedicated moveset sooner, which means more time on Training Grounds learning style-specific combos instead of grinding Jobs for another hour.
Beast does not make you weaker than a Rush player in raw terms — both styles layer on the same base kit. The entry label here reflects value per Yen and accessibility, not verified combat superiority. A Beast player who has drilled their routes beats a Rush player who bought on impulse and never practiced.
If your Yen total is between 2,500 and 3,999, Beast is the only style you can actually buy today. Do not hold out for Rush unless you have a concrete plan to earn the remaining Yen — idle saving with no Job route in mind wastes sessions you could spend learning Beast combos.
Rush costs 4,000 Yen — 1,500 more than Beast — and the confirmation dialogue calls out the no-refund warning again specifically on this purchase. That extra cost and extra warning suggest the developers treat Rush as the premium option in the current two-style roster.
Community players who have tested both styles generally describe Rush as the more aggressive combo route, with faster attack chains that reward confident Lock On play. None of that is on an official stat sheet, so take it as play-feel guidance rather than verified numbers.
Rush is the right pick when you already own Beast and want a different moveset, or when you started with enough Yen from codes and Jobs to skip the cheaper option entirely. Either way, confirm the 4,000 Yen price on Fighting styles before you walk to the vendor — prices have held steady so far, but this is a new release worth rechecking after major updates.
Yes — you can buy Beast first and Rush later, or the reverse. Each first-time purchase is independent and non-refundable. Owning both does not mean you can hot-swap mid-fight; return to Kamasaki Yuri before your next fight and pick the active style from her menu — owned options usually show Free.
If you are unsure which style fits your playstyle, buy Beast, drill it on Training Grounds for a few sessions, and only then decide whether Rush is worth another 4,000 Yen. That path costs more total Yen than picking one style and sticking with it, but it is the only way to test both movesets without relying on second-hand tier lists.
Kamasaki Yuri is not inside the school building. You need to walk out toward the surrounding streets to reach her, which catches players who expect every shop NPC to stand in the main courtyard.
Most useful NPCs in Rintama High — Job givers, shopkeepers, style vendors — are scattered across Hokuheki City rather than clustered in one hub. Kamasaki Yuri follows that pattern by sitting past the footbridge, away from the school entrance where new players spawn.
Walking the route once early in your first session saves time later. When you finally have 2,500 or 4,000 Yen saved, you want to march straight to the vendor instead of wandering the map asking other players where she stands.
Full location context — how the campus connects to the rest of Hokuheki City, where Jobs spawn, and how the Phone map helps navigation — lives on the locations page. Pair that with Fighting styles for a complete vendor reference.
The game does not always pin every shop NPC on the Phone map at launch, so the footbridge → Horiguchi → Shofukucho District chain is the reliable anchor. If you overshoot, backtrack toward campus until you see the bridge again — Kamasaki Yuri sits in Shofukucho District, not on the school grounds.
Other NPCs along the route mostly offer idle dialogue, not shops. If talking to someone does not open a purchase menu, keep walking. Only Kamasaki Yuri sells Fighting Styles, and only the "I'd like to change my fighting style" line opens that menu.
A short pre-purchase checklist saves you from the one mistake that actually costs money in this system: buying on impulse without reading the confirmation dialogue. Run through every row before you hand over 2,500 or 4,000 Yen.
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Yen balance matches the style you want | Beast costs 2,500 Yen; Rush costs 4,000 Yen — see Fighting styles |
| You read the no-refund warning | Previously spent Yen is not returned if you switch styles later |
| You picked the right dialogue line | "I'd like to change my fighting style" — not flavor dialogue |
| Base combat kit is drilled | Guard, Evade, and Lock On basics from the combat guide |
| Training Grounds plan is ready | Practice the new moveset at Training Grounds before a real fight |
| You checked for codes first | Codes can cover most or all of a Beast purchase for free |
Kamasaki Yuri's dialogue explicitly states that previously spent Yen is not refunded when you learn a new Fighting Style. That is not boilerplate — it is the only refund policy the game offers, and there is no confirmed workaround.
If you buy Beast and later want Rush for the first time, you pay the full 4,000 Yen with zero credit from the 2,500 Yen you already spent. Total cost to own both: 6,500 Yen. Switching back to a style you already own at the vendor is separate — check whether the menu shows Free before you assume another charge.
Buying a style and immediately queueing for gated Roleplay is how players lose fights they should have won. The new combo routes take muscle memory — light attack chains, heavy follow-ups, and when to Guard mid-combo — that you build faster on Training Grounds than under real fight pressure.
Training Grounds stays open when the main server is gated, so there is no excuse to skip practice. Load in, turn off Passive Mode, and spend ten minutes on your new moveset before you head back to Kamasaki Yuri's area or return to campus.
Talk to Kamasaki Yuri past the footbridge off-campus, choose "I'd like to change my fighting style", and confirm Beast (2,500 Yen) or Rush (4,000 Yen). Full walkthrough on this page; pricing details on Fighting styles.
