Fighting styles are an important part of progression in Grand Blue, giving your character different combat moves and playstyles. Some styles are easy to find through trainers around the islands, while others require additional quests, boss drops, or specific skills before you can unlock them. This guide covers the known fighting styles from the provided information, including their trainer locations, requirements, and the steps needed to unlock the secret Trickster fighting style.

How to Switch Fighting Styles in Grand Blue

Before collecting multiple fighting styles, you should know how to switch between them. The game provides a wardrobe area where you can manage your available fighting styles, along with other character-related options.

Head to the Beginner Town and look for the Wardrobe. Interact with it by pressing E. If you have unlocked more than one fighting style, you can use this menu to change between them.

The same area can also be useful for managing fruits if you have access to the relevant fruit storage feature. Therefore, you do not need to visit the fighting style trainer every time you want to change your currently equipped style.

1. Brawler Fighting Style Location

The Brawler is one of the first fighting styles you can find in Grand Blue. Its trainer is located in Anchor Town, making it relatively easy to reach during the early stages of your adventure.

From Anchor Town, travel toward the right side near the port. Look around the area for an NPC with a red mark above their head. These markers indicate NPCs associated with fighting styles.

Interact with the trainer to check the Brawler option. Keep in mind that finding the trainer does not necessarily mean you can immediately unlock the style. Fighting styles can have their own progression requirements, so make sure you meet the necessary conditions before attempting to purchase or learn one.

2. Swordsman Fighting Style Location

The Swordsman fighting style can also be obtained around Anchor Town. Its trainer is positioned higher up in the area, close to a pond. After reaching the location, look for Shirou, who serves as the trainer for this fighting style. Speak with him to see the requirements for learning the Swordsman style.

The Swordsman provides a different combat option compared with Brawler and is particularly useful for players who prefer weapon-based attacks. Once unlocked, you can equip it through the Wardrobe whenever you want to switch your combat setup.

3. Trickster Fighting Style Location and Requirements

The Trickster is the more complicated fighting style covered in this guide because it is treated as a secret fighting style. Instead of simply walking up to a trainer and paying gold, you need to complete additional progression before the relevant NPC will properly interact with you.

The main NPC involved with this progression is Loki. However, there are several requirements that need to be completed before you can unlock the Trickster fighting style.

Get Pickpocket and Pocket Sun

Your first major goal is obtaining the skills needed for Loki’s progression. You need both:

  • Pickpocket
  • Pocket Sun

These skills can be obtained by defeating Aaru the Hoarder in Anchor Town. The provided information states that the skills have roughly a 10% drop chance, meaning you may need to defeat the boss multiple times before getting everything.

Because these are random drops, it is worth preparing for a short farming session rather than expecting both skills from your first attempt.

Complete Loki’s Quest

After obtaining the required skills, you can begin working through Loki’s progression. Find Loki and interact with him. He will ask you to complete several requirements and quests. Make sure you finish everything he requests before moving to the next stage.

Once Loki’s quest line has been completed, you need to travel to Clown Town. The Trickster trainer is located near the Ferris wheel. When you arrive in Clown Town, head toward the Ferris wheel and climb upward through the area until you reach Loki.

Speak with him again once you reach the correct location. If you have completed the required progression and possess the necessary skills, you will be able to continue with the Trickster unlock. The provided guide shows a 1,000 Gold cost at this stage, so make sure you have enough currency before attempting to unlock the style.

4. Marksman Fighting Style Location

The Marksman fighting style is obtained in Maple Town. To reach its trainer, set sail toward Maple Village and follow the path once you arrive.

From the village entrance, continue straight and make your way toward the upper part of the area. You are looking for the NPC known as Captain YSU.

Once you find him, interact with the NPC and choose the option related to learning his fighting style. The provided information shows a cost of 1,000 Gold for the training.

Like the other fighting styles, you should check whether your character meets any additional progression requirements before spending your currency.

All Fighting Style Locations at a Glance

Here is a quick breakdown of the fighting styles covered in this guide:

Brawler

  • Location: Anchor Town
  • Trainer: NPC near the port
  • Look for the red fighting style marker.

Swordsman

  • Location: Anchor Town
  • Trainer: Shirou
  • Found near the pond.

Trickster

  • Location: Clown Town
  • Trainer: Loki
  • Requires additional progression.
  • Requires Pickpocket and Pocket Sun.
  • Skills can be obtained from Aaru the Hoarder.
  • Later requires 1,000 Gold according to the provided progression.

Marksman

  • Location: Maple Town
  • Trainer: Captain YSU
  • Costs 1,000 Gold according to the provided information.

Grand Blue’s fighting style system gives players several ways to customize their combat experience. While some styles can be found fairly quickly through trainers, Trickster requires considerably more work because of its secret progression and boss farming requirements.

If you are trying to collect every fighting style, start by checking the trainers in Anchor Town and Maple Town. Once those easier options are handled, focus on the Aaru the Hoarder farming and Loki’s quest line to work toward Trickster. This approach should make the overall process more organized and reduce unnecessary trips between islands.
