What Is the Lethwei Style in Gakuran?
Lethwei is the partner style to Mishima from the September 5, 2026 giant update — a striking archetype named after Lethwei, the Burmese full-contact boxing tradition famous for its relentless forward pressure. Creator coverage confirms it exists in the game as of update v8.200; almost everything else about it is still unconfirmed.
| Fact | Status |
|---|---|
| Added | Giant update, September 5, 2026 (v8.200 era) — confirmed by creator coverage |
| In-game spelling | Unverified — sources write Lethwei, Lethwa, and Lefua |
| Rarity | Reported Epic — one roundup only, no second source yet |
| Perks | Not published — no reliable breakdown exists yet |
| How to obtain | Style reroll, like every other rollable style |
Why Does Everyone Spell It Differently?
Three spellings are circulating and none is confirmed against the in-game UI: the update-explainer video says Lethwa, a September roundup writes Lefua, and community showcase videos use Lethwei — the real-world martial art the style is clearly drawn from. We will standardize this page to the exact in-game string as soon as it can be checked against the developer’s Trello board, the same authority the style tier list defers to.
Mishima vs Lethwei: Which New Style Should You Chase?
Both styles arrived in the same September 5 update, but they are in completely different verification states — and that difference should drive the decision more than any tier-list hype:
| Mishima | Lethwei | |
|---|---|---|
| Rarity band | Secret (???) — community-reported ≈0.05% | Epic — single-source report, unconfirmed |
| Kit documentation | Four named perks verified across two write-ups | Nothing published — archetype observation only |
| Archetype | Speed counter-puncher: fastest M1 chain, crit reflect, dash refund | Forward-pressure striker, true to its Burmese namesake |
| Meta standing | Community already calls it the meta peak | Unrated — no published ranking exists |
| Verdict for rerollers | Defined pick if you can afford the odds | Wait — spending rolls on unknown perks is a gamble, not a build |
If you want the style the community has already stress-tested, that is Mishima — with the catch that its Secret-band odds make it one of the rarest pulls in the game. Lethwei could turn out to be the better value play of the two: an Epic-band striker with a strong archetype would be far cheaper to land, and the showcase below gives a feel for how it moves. The tier list tracks both, and the reroll guide prices out the hunt.

What Should You Check Before Spending Rerolls?
Three checks separate a good chase from a wasted bank. First, confirm your build is current — new styles ship with the update, and an outdated client will not roll them. Second, open your Profile and press Show Perks after any roll so you can verify exactly what you landed, the same verification step the Mishima guide recommends. Third, compare against the current tier list: an unknown rarity is only worth chasing once community testing says the kit earns its slot.
Lethwei FAQ
The questions we can already answer, and the ones we will not guess at:
Is Lethwei out on all platforms?
It shipped with the giant update that went live on September 5, 2026, so every server on the current build should have it. If you cannot roll it, first confirm your game is fully updated and that you are in the official Roblox group — the how-to-join guide covers the load-in gates.
What rarity is Lethwei?
One September roundup reports Epic (the same band as Boxing and Striker), but no second source or official number confirms it. We are deliberately not printing a percentage — an unverified rarity read is how players burn hundreds of rerolls on a guess.
How is it different from Mishima?
Different rarity bands, for a start: Mishima is reported in or near the Secret tier while Lethwei’s single report says Epic. Kit-wise, nothing verified exists yet — early footage suggests a forward-pressure striking style consistent with its namesake, but that is observation, not a sourced fact. The Mishima vs Lethwei comparison table above breaks the decision down, and this section gets rewritten the moment a reliable perk breakdown lands.
