Breathing Styles are the main offensive options you'll have as a Demon Slayer (Human race) in WL2 (Weak Legacy 2). Each Breathing is different regarding skills, damage, training costs, and some also have V2 variants that are much stronger than the base style. To help you learn which Breathings are the best and why for both PvE and PvP, and find all of their trainers, here is our ultimate Weak Legacy 2 Breathing Styles tier list!
Weak Legacy 2 Breathings Tier List [PvE & PvP]
S Tier: The best Breathing Styles for the specific game mode. They should be your top unlock priorities.
A Tier: Very good Breathing Styles that can often compete with the S-tier ones, but are not as universally strong.
B Tier: Good Breathing Styles that you can safely go for, especially if you have the appropriate Clan buffs.
C Tier: Decent Breathing Styles for the specific game mode that aren't really that good, but also aren't terrible.
D Tier: The worst-performing Breathing Styles for the specific game mode, with very few redeemable qualities.
In the tier list above is our ranking of all Breathing Styles in WL2 (Weak Legacy 2), both for PvE and PvP. Generally, V2 Breathings are the best, by a mile, but there are a few V1 Breathings that are very good, depending on the game mode, especially if you have the appropriate Clan to buff their damage. For the ranking summaries and other details regarding each Breathing Style, see the section below.
