The Oigawa Style is a highly-regarded Style in Volleyball Legends, classified under the prestigious Godly rarity tier (gold/yellow indicator). Directly inspired by the character Tōru Oikawa from Haikyuu!!, this Style is renowned for its exceptional supportive capabilities, particularly in the Setter role.
- Rarity: Godly (0.49% base spin chance)
- Inspiration: Tōru Oikawa (Haikyuu!!)
- Primary Roles: Setter / Support
Oigawa earns its “Godly” status through outstanding stats geared towards enabling team play, though it lacks raw offensive power:
- Strengths:
- Setting: Perfect / Near-Max proficiency. Enables precise and advantageous sets.
- Serving: Perfect / Near-Max proficiency. Delivers powerful serves capable of scoring aces or disrupting receives.
- Jumping: Perfect / Near-Max proficiency. Aids in setting consistency and contributes to blocking.
- Versatility: High proficiency reported in most other areas (Bump, Block, Speed, Dive), making it reliable across various situations.
- Weaknesses:
- Spiking: Comparatively Low / Weak. Not suited for scoring via powerful direct attacks.
Gameplay Role & Strategy
Oigawa is the quintessential playmaker Style, designed to elevate team performance:
- Primary Role: Setter. Excels at orchestrating the offense by providing optimal sets to spikers. Also functions as a strong all-around Support player.
- Strategy:
- Prioritize Setting: Focus on positioning and timing to deliver accurate sets.
- Utilize the Serve: Leverage the powerful serve to gain advantages at the start of points. Community tutorials exist for mastering specific “Oikawa Serve” techniques.
- Enable Teammates: Recognize Oigawa’s strength lies in setting up teammates (especially those with high Spike stats) rather than scoring directly.
- Contribute Defensively: Use the high Jump stat for effective blocking when needed.
Obtaining the Oigawa Style requires luck due to its Godly rarity:
- Spinning (0.49% Chance): Acquired through the random Style spin system with a base 0.49% probability per spin.
- Lucky Spins: Using Lucky Spins (often obtained via codes or Season Pass) significantly increases the chance of rolling Rare, Legendary, or Godly styles by removing Commons from the pool, making them valuable for hunting Oigawa.
- Codes: Keep an eye on official channels (Discord, Twitter) for redeemable codes that may grant Yen or Lucky Spins.
- Pity System: While primarily discussed for Secret styles, the pity system might offer some long-term benefit, though hitting the Godly tier might rely more on luck or Lucky Spins.
Meta Standing & Comparisons
- Tier: Consistently ranked S-Tier by the community due to its high impact as a setter and supporter.
- Comparisons:
- vs. Kageyomo (Godly): Another S-Tier setter. Both are top-tier options for the role, with minor potential stat differences; choice may depend on player preference.
- vs. Butoku (Godly) / Sanu (Secret): These styles fill different roles (Blocker/Spiker). Oigawa focuses on enabling plays, while Butoku/Sanu focus on direct scoring or blocking.
- Evolving Meta: The game meta changes (e.g., the Uchishima style nerf shows how drastically rankings can shift). While Oigawa hasn’t seen recent direct changes mentioned, system updates (like blocking reworks) can indirectly affect all styles.
Conclusion
The Oigawa Style is a cornerstone support Style in Volleyball Legends, living up to its Godly rarity through exceptional Setting, Serving, and Jumping stats. It’s ideal for players who prefer a strategic, team-focused playstyle, enabling teammates and controlling the game’s flow. While requiring luck or dedicated effort to acquire, its impact on coordinated team play makes it one of the most valuable and sought-after Styles for the crucial Setter role.
