The Ojiri Style is a character Style available in Volleyball Legends, belonging to the Rare rarity tier (blue indicator). While its exact inspiration isn’t confirmed in analyses, the name might potentially link to Aran Ojiro from Haikyuu!!. The Ojiri Style is characterized by a generally moderate stat profile across most areas, but with notable weaknesses in key gameplay actions, positioning it as a functional but ultimately limited option.
- Rarity: Rare (Relatively common compared to Legendary+, ~8.75% specific spin chance)
- Inspiration: Aran Ojiro (Haikyuu!!) (Tentative/Unconfirmed)
- Primary Roles: All-Rounder / Placeholder
Ojiri Style offers a mixed bag statistically, lacking standout strengths and possessing significant drawbacks:
- Strengths: Described as having generally above-average proficiency in most categories not listed as weaknesses. This implies moderate competence in areas like Bumping, Blocking, Speed, and possibly Jumping or Serving.
- Weaknesses: Explicitly noted as being below average or weak in:
- Setting: Makes it unreliable for accurately setting up teammates.
- Diving: Hinders ability to make difficult saves on low balls.
- Spiking: Limits offensive scoring potential.
Analysis: Ojiri functions as a “jack of some trades, master of none.” While potentially adequate in several areas, its weaknesses in the crucial actions of Setting, Diving, and Spiking severely limit its overall impact and specialization.
Gameplay Role
Given its lack of specialization and key weaknesses, Ojiri doesn’t excel in any specific primary role:
- Likely Role: Functions as a general All-Rounder or, more accurately, a Placeholder Style. It allows players to perform basic actions competently but doesn’t provide the necessary stats to specialize effectively as a primary Spiker, Setter, Blocker, or Libero.
Since Ojiri lacks standout strengths, players using it should focus on consistency and fundamentals while acknowledging its limitations:
- Focus on Basics: Rely on solid execution of basic bumps, blocks (if stats allow), and movement. Avoid trying complex plays that rely heavily on setting precision, spiking power, or difficult dives.
- Play Conservatively: Since Ojiri doesn’t excel offensively or defensively in key moments (spikes/dives), aim for consistent play. Keep the ball in play with reliable bumps, position well using its moderate speed, and let teammates with more specialized styles handle crucial actions.
- Transitional Style: Recognize Ojiri primarily as a stepping stone. It’s an upgrade from many Common styles but should ideally be replaced once a player acquires a Rare style with better specialization (like Nichinoya for defense, Iwaezeni for offense) or any Legendary/Godly/Secret style.
- Fill Gaps: In a team setting, an Ojiri user might need to adapt and fill whatever role is least covered, performing basic actions competently without being the star player in any position.
How to Get Ojiri Style
Acquiring the Ojiri Style is relatively straightforward due to its Rare status:
- Spinning (Rare Chance): Obtained via the random Style spin system. As a Rare style (~8.75% specific chance, 35% chance for any Rare), it is frequently obtained.
- Lucky Spins: Using Lucky Spins significantly increases the chance of rolling a Rare style (~50% chance), making Ojiri a very common outcome from these spins.
- Codes: Monitor official channels (Discord, Twitter) for redeemable codes which often grant Lucky Spins. Requires Level 5+.
- Tier: Ojiri’s tier placement is debated, appearing in both B-Tier and C-Tier in different community analyses. This reflects its mediocre profile – functional, but lacking impact due to weaknesses in setting, diving, and spiking.
- Comparisons:
- vs. Other Rares: Compared to specialized Rares like Nichinoya (A-Tier defense) or Iwaezeni (B/C Tier offense), Ojiri lacks their focused strengths. Its value comes from being less severely weak in some areas, but it doesn’t excel anywhere specific.
- vs. Higher Tiers (Legendary+): Significantly outclassed in overall stats, specialization, and impact by styles in the Legendary, Godly, and Secret tiers.
- Overall: Ojiri is generally considered a mid-to-low tier Rare style, usable early on but quickly replaceable.
Conclusion
The Ojiri Style is a Rare style in Volleyball Legends, characterized by a generally moderate stat profile but hampered by specific weaknesses in Setting, Diving, and Spiking. Its debated B/C Tier status reflects its role as a functional but unremarkable All-Rounder or Placeholder. While relatively easy to obtain through spins, especially using codes for Lucky Spins, Ojiri lacks the specialization or high-impact stats needed for competitive play at higher levels. It serves primarily as a transitional style for players progressing towards more powerful and specialized options in the Legendary, Godly, or Secret tiers.
