Kendo
Longer reach and counter-attacks. Often paired with fast or sword-based Stands.
Official Trello is used for obtainment notes and move names where available. Scores and synergies below are site-maintained planner notes, not official balance values.

Planner interpretation
Kendo is the style to inspect when you need reach, sword pressure, and more utility than a pure fist route. Its official card includes clearer move descriptions than the other styles, which makes it easier to understand why the site rates its range and utility higher. Kendo is not only a damage pick; it is a spacing tool for builds that want to punish movement or keep a target inside a follow-up line.
Best use cases
- -Sword-focused or movement-heavy builds that need a cleaner approach option.
- -Players who want guardbreak or displacement tools rather than only raw burst.
- -Stands such as Anubis, Made in Heaven, or C-Moon that can benefit from reach and repositioning.
What to verify before committing
- -The planner still does not know every cooldown, hitbox, or patch-level interaction.
- -Kendo can feel less direct than Boxing if your Stand already supplies all the mobility you need.
- -Air and knockback behavior should be checked in live servers because small timing changes can alter follow-ups.
What is official here
The official card is used for the style name and visible move list. Score numbers, Stand pairings, and build recommendations are site-maintained planning notes, so treat them as decision support rather than developer balance values.
Useful next checks
- β’Compare Kendo against Boxing if you are choosing between reach and close pressure.
- β’Review Anubis and Made in Heaven pages before building around sword pressure.
- β’Check the official card when move wording changes after updates.
