Weak Legacy 2 Breathing Style Tier List (Update 5.75)

With Update 5.75 introducing the long-awaited Flame Breathing V2, the meta for Weak Legacy 2 has shifted significantly. Some older styles got nerfed, others reworked, and a few have climbed higher in relevance. Below, you’ll find the most accurate breathing tier list for PvP and overall combat strength, reflecting the current patch balance.

D Tier

Water Breathing V1

Water Breathing V1 has unfortunately fallen far behind. Despite having several moves, none of them deliver meaningful pressure or combo potential anymore.

• Water Surface Slash: Decent animation but lacks range and impact.
• Striking Tide: Poor hitbox tracking and easily punishable.
• Waterfall Basin: Extremely short range and perfect-blockable.
• Constant Flux: The finishing move feels underwhelming and deals minimal damage.

Even for beginners, Water V1 struggles to hold up. Its short range and poor scaling make it one of the weakest breathings in the game.

C Tier

Sun Breathing V1

While Sun Breathing V1 comes with five moves, most of them are easily countered.

• Clear Blue Sky and Raging Sun are underwhelming and blockable.
• Burning Bone Summer Sun is perfect-blockable, and only Hinokami Kagura provides real value.
  Without consistent pressure or combo synergy, it stays mid-tier.

Love Breathing

Love Breathing features flashy moves but lacks strong combo chains.

• First Love is blockable.
• Love Pangs can break blocks but requires good aim.
• Cat Love Shower and Wild Claw have decent animations yet are inconsistent in hit detection.
  Overall, Love Breathing is stylish but situational, more about flair than effectiveness.

Serpent Breathing

Serpent Breathing sits comfortably in the lower mid-tier range.

Winding Serpent Slash and Venom Fangs are average in power.

Coil Choke is a solid combo extender and unperfect-blockable, which is its saving grace.
Still, limited moves and mid-range make it less threatening compared to top-tier breathings.

B Tier

Sound Breathing

Sound Breathing offers a balanced, skill-dependent toolkit.

Roar is excellent for starting combos but lacks reach.

Constant Resounding Slashes helps chase opponents effectively.

String Performance and Musical Score both deal decent damage but don’t look visually strong.
Overall, it’s an underrated choice that rewards good timing and spacing.

Flower Breathing

Flower Breathing is another solid mid-tier pick.

Its ultimate and mode with dodges provide strong defensive utility.

Great for players who prefer reactive fighting styles and evasion-based gameplay.

Thunder Breathing

A classic mid-tier option that remains consistent.

Thunderclap and Flash and Sixfold are excellent combo starters.

Thunder God is unblockable and chases enemies well.
While its moveset is small, its combo speed makes it reliable in capable hands.

Wind Breathing

Wind Breathing offers great versatility.

Dust Whirlwind Cutter and Black Mountain Mist are blockable but useful for zoning.

Clear Storm Wind Tree and Cold Mountain Wind deliver steady damage.

Eden Typhoon, the final move, elevates this breathing by adding strong combo setups.
Though it’s not ideal for grinding, it performs consistently in PvP.

A Tier

Water Breathing V2

After its nerfs, Water V2 remains a strong, balanced breathing — but no longer dominant.

Still provides solid defense and combo chains through perfect blocking.

The last move, though nerfed, was once S-tier material.
In skilled hands, Water V2 can challenge even S-tier styles, making it an excellent A-tier contender.

Insect Breathing V2

The rework transformed Insect Breathing from mediocre to elite-tier quality.

Can switch between Horsefly, Butterfly, and Bee modes for unique buffs.

Applies poison damage, stacking additional DPS.

Works incredibly well with poison-related clans, giving it burst potential and adaptability.
This breathing narrowly misses S-tier only because of the learning curve.

S Tier

Mist Breathing

Mist Breathing’s rework made it one of the strongest in the current meta.

The final move delivers exceptional damage and comes with two variations, offering safety even if you miss.

Stun potential is high, allowing you to follow up with devastating combos.
Every move is polished and efficient — it’s easily one of the most rewarding breathings for skilled players.

Sun Breathing V2

Still among the most broken styles in the game, Sun V2 dominates PvP.

High burst output and multiple combo options.

Hard to counter in close quarters.
While it can be outdamaged by Moon Breathing in raw numbers, its PvP control is unmatched.

Moon Breathing

Moon Breathing continues to reign supreme as the strongest in the game.

Insane damage output.

Excellent combo pressure and range coverage.
Its only weakness is accessibility — few players can use it effectively, but those who can, dominate matches effortlessly.

Flame Breathing V2

The brand-new Flame V2 rework is the highlight of Update 5.75.

Vastly improved from its original version (which was D-tier).

The final move alone deals massive burst damage if timed correctly.

Outstanding combo potential and high scaling.
It can arguably rival Moon and Sun V2, placing it among the top 3 breathings in the entire game.

Verdict: Flame V2 is now meta-defining — the perfect blend of high damage, utility, and combo synergy.

Final Tier List

Tier	Breathing Styles
S	Flame V2, Moon, Sun V2, Mist, Insect V2
A	Water V2
B	Thunder, Wind, Flower, Sound
C	Love, Serpent, Sun V1
D	Water V1

Weak Legacy 2’s breathing balance has improved dramatically in Update 5.75. Flame V2 and Mist dominate the new meta, while previously strong options like Water V2 have settled into more balanced spots. Whether you prioritize damage, combo play, or mobility, the current patch offers strong choices across multiple tiers — but if you’re chasing pure power, Flame V2 and Moon Breathing are your best bets.
