Slayers 2 Breathing Tier List for Your First Style

For a first Slayers 2 (formerly Project Slayers 2) breathing style, Water is the simplest all-round starting pick. Thunder, Flame, Insect and Serpent are strong alternatives when their movement or trainer route suits you. Wind, Stone and Sound need more preparation or technical practice before they pay off.

First-unlock tier list

These tiers help a new Slayer choose a practical first training route. They weigh trainer access, travel, equipment prerequisites and how soon the style becomes useful. They do not rank equal-gear PvP damage.

Tier	Style	Why choose it first
S	Water	Nearby trainer route and flexible control skills.
A	Thunder	Fast approach; prepare for the cliff route to Zentaro.
A	Flame	Clear attack roles and strong Rengoku synergy.
A	Insect	Fast pressure; climb the Butterfly Estate building.
A	Serpent	Mobile pressure; find Obari by the mountain wall.
B	Wind	Useful range variants, but repeat inputs and spacing take practice.
B	Stone	Armored melee after a longer trip and Axe and Mace drop.
B	Sound	Ranged kit after a cold Iceveil trip and elevated trainer climb.

Pick the style you can actually train

Water is the easiest broad recommendation because its trainer route starts near Mother Bear and its kit supports both approach and defense. Thunder rewards a faster opening; Flame improves further if you already have Rengoku.

Stone requires the Axe and Mace weapon from a chance chest. Sound requires a snowy Iceveil trip. Wind rewards careful spacing and variant inputs. A lower first-unlock tier can still be the right long-term style when you enjoy its moves.
