All 8 breathing styles in Slayers 2
Breathing styles are the Slayer route’s move sets, and every one unlocks the same way: reach level 25, find the trainer, pay what they ask, then finish their training quest. The eight are Serpent, Insect, Flame, Thunder, Stone, Sound, Wind and Water. There is no Mist, Moon or Sun, and Beast has only shown up in the developer’s stats; what is real about each is on the upcoming breathing page.

Paying the trainer starts a training quest; Stone’s has six steps, ending with a fight against the Stone Trainee. Changing styles later has its own cost: see switching styles.

The training quest
Paying the trainer is not the end. Stone’s quest tracker lists six steps that open one after another:
- Meditate
- Push ups
- Boulder Push
- Boulder Split
- Parkour Dungeon
- Defeat the Stone Trainee
The reward line reads Stone Breathing Unlock. Trainees are mini bosses with their own 600-health bars. The Stone Trainee drops the Axe and Mace that Stone requires: 7% at launch, raised to 15% by the V0.98 update.
The other styles use the same kind of list in a different order, and not every style meditates. Each style’s list, and how to pass each minigame, are on the training quest page.

Switching styles
- The in-game shop sells Reset Breathing. It costs 7 Ore, or 100 Robux (Roblox shows Plus members 80); what it clears is on the resets page. Ore can be earned without Robux: finishing Final Selection gives one, and chests and fishing turn it up now and then. The free BREATHRESET code is on the codes page.
- Since the V0.182 update, resetting or swapping a breathing style, Evil Art or fighting style refunds the skill tree points you put into it, and points lost to earlier resets come back the next time you join.
- A free way to redo your points is the SKILLTREERESET code, while it lasts.
- A free style reset: the BREATHRESET code. Redeem it only when you are ready to switch; your skill points in the old style come back to you.
Deciding which style to switch to? The published tier lists disagree more than they agree; the side-by-side comparison shows where.
