Volleyball Legends Update 15, which went live mid-April 2025, introduced a groundbreaking permanent addition to the game’s roster: The Miya Twins. This unique Permanent Secret Style allows players to dynamically control two distinct characters, Atasumi (Setter) and Osuma (Spiker), using the innovative Swap mechanic. This guide provides a definitive breakdown of each twin’s capabilities and explains how to master the game-changing Swap system.
Overview & Acquisition
The Miya Twins represent the pinnacle of rarity as a Secret Style. Like other Styles, they are acquired through the game’s Style Spin system. Being permanent, they are a lasting addition to the character pool available to unlock. The core concept revolves around controlling two specialists within one Style slot.
The Dual-Character Concept
Instead of a single character with a fixed set of stats, players using The Miya Twins command both Atasumi and Osuma, switching between them strategically during matches. This offers unparalleled versatility but demands a higher level of skill and awareness.
Meet Atasumi: The Agile Setter
Role & Attributes
Atasumi is designed as the team’s primary playmaker and facilitator. Her attributes are:
- Set: MAX (Ensuring top-tier setting accuracy and consistency)
- Serve: Good (Making her a reliable threat from the service line)
- Speed: Good (Allowing for quick court coverage and reaching difficult passes)
- Dive: Good (Enhancing defensive capabilities and ability to save balls)
- Block: Bad (Making her vulnerable defensively at the net)
- Spike: Bad (Limiting her direct offensive contribution through attacks)
Tactical Summary
Use Atasumi for reliable serves, precise setting to enable teammates, and quick defensive coverage. Her speed and diving ability make her excellent at keeping plays alive, while her MAX Set ensures teammates receive optimal opportunities to score. Avoid relying on her for blocking or spiking.
Role & Attributes
Osuma serves as the devastating offensive finisher of the duo. His attributes are:
- Jump: MAX (Allowing him to reach incredible heights for spikes and blocks)
- Spike: MAX SPIKE+ (Described as matching the power of the “Old Sanu spike” – a powerful style from before directional tilts were added, potentially making Osuma’s spikes harder to predict or block using current meta strategies. This makes him slightly better than Bokuto at spiking.)
- Serve: Bad (Making his serves inconsistent or easy to receive)
- Speed: Slow (Limiting his court coverage and requiring good positioning)
- Block: Not Specified (But MAX Jump implies strong blocking potential)
Tactical Summary
Osuma is built for scoring. His MAX Jump and MAX SPIKE+ allow for dominant attacks that can overwhelm defenses. The reference to the “Old Sanu spike” context signifies exceptional, potentially hard-to-counter spiking power. However, his slow speed means he relies on Atasumi or teammates for setup and must be positioned effectively. His serve is a clear weakness.
Stat Overview: Atasumi vs. Osuma
| Feature | Atasumi (Setter) | Osuma (Spiker) |
|---|---|---|
| Set | MAX | MAX |
| Spike | Bad | MAX SPIKE+ |
| Jump | Not Specified | MAX |
| Serve | Good | Bad |
| Speed | Good | Slow |
| Dive | Good | Not Specified |
| Block | Bad | Not Specified |
| Bump | Not Specified | Not Specified |
The ability to switch between Atasumi and Osuma instantly is the key to unlocking the Twins’ full potential.
How to Swap
Players can switch characters using either:
- The ‘R’ key on their keyboard.
- The new “SWAP” button added to the in-game user interface.
The 5-Second Cooldown
- The Swap ability isn’t spammable. A Swap meter controls its usage.
- This meter recharges every 5 seconds, but crucially, only during active in-game time. The timer pauses between points or during other pauses in play.
- This cooldown requires players to make tactical decisions about when to swap for the most impact.
Unleashing “Crazy Tech”: Strategic Uses
The developers encourage experimentation (“Go for all sorts of crazy tech”). Here are some core strategic applications:
- Serve & Spike: Serve with Atasumi’s reliability, then immediately Swap to Osuma if the return presents a spiking opportunity.
- Receive & Set/Spike: Use Atasumi’s Speed/Dive for a difficult receive, then instantly Swap back to Osuma for the spike if a teammate sets, or stay as Atasumi if you need to provide the set yourself.
- High Ball Control: Use Osuma’s MAX Jump to reach a high ball (receive or even block attempt), then Swap to Atasumi for a precise set from that advantageous position.
- Deception: Position as one Twin to influence opponent expectations (e.g., baiting blockers towards Osuma), then Swap to Atasumi for a quick set elsewhere.
- Situational Response: Instantly adapt to the rally’s needs – Speed/Dive/Set from Atasumi, or Jump/Spike from Osuma.
Playstyle & Strategy Considerations
- High Skill Ceiling: Effectively using the Twins requires excellent situational awareness, precise timing for swaps (considering the cooldown), and quick decision-making.
- Positional Importance: Finding good court positioning (often mid-court) allows leveraging both Twins’ strengths after a swap without excessive movement.
- Team Coordination: Communication with teammates is beneficial so they know which Twin is active and can adjust their plays accordingly.
Conclusion: A New Dimension of Volleyball
The Miya Twins Secret Style fundamentally changes the way Volleyball Legends can be played. Offering unparalleled versatility through the Swap mechanic, this dual-character style allows players to embody both an elite setter (Atasumi) and a devastating spiker (Osuma) within a single match. While demanding significant skill and tactical acumen to master the 5-second swap cooldown effectively, The Miya Twins provide a deeply rewarding and strategically rich experience for those willing to embrace their dynamic potential. They represent a permanent and exciting evolution for the game’s meta ().
