Chronos Style Guide - Untitled Boxing Game Wiki
Master the time-manipulating Mythic fighting style — a control-based kit that slows, rewinds, and out-times every opponent in the ring.
Overview
Chronos is a Mythic fighting style in Untitled Boxing Game built around the concept of time itself. Its slow-motion abilities let you freeze opponents mid-attack, rewind out of danger, and control the pace of every exchange. Chronos trades raw burst damage for battlefield control. See our Styles Overview.
Chronos Gameplay Showcase
This showcase covers Chronos in action at high ranked play, demonstrating how top players use Time Warp and Chronosphere to control space and convert slow-motion windows into devastating combos. Watch the full kit before you spin for this Mythic style, then study our How to Play guide.
Time Manipulation Abilities
Chronos's kit revolves around Time Warp (M2), a projectile that slows any opponent caught in its radius by 35% for 3 seconds. The slow applies to movement, attack speed, and dodge recovery, completely changing how the enemy can respond. Landing Time Warp is the gateway to every high-damage Chronos sequence, as explained in our How to Play guide.
The zoning tool Chronosphere (Q) deploys a stationary time bubble for 5 seconds that continuously slows enemies inside. Skilled players use it to block escape routes, control corners, and force opponents into bad choices. Position it between yourself and aggressive styles like Hawk. More tips are in our How to Play guide.
Chronos's ultimate, Temporal Rewind, rewinds your position and health to where they were 2 seconds ago while dealing 55 damage to enemies in your path. It doubles as an escape and engage tool — one moment you are cornered, the next you are behind your opponent. Master its timing in our Combo Guide.
Chronos Ability Stats
Here is the complete stat breakdown for Chronos's ability kit, including damage, cooldown, and control values. Chronos's power is not in the numbers themselves but in how the slow effects multiply every follow-up attack you land. Study the cooldown column carefully when planning sequences in our Combo Guide.
Every Chronos sequence is built around cooldown alignment, so track your ability timers closely during each exchange. The reward for discipline is a permanently slowed opponent who cannot escape your follow-up combos, as demonstrated in our Combo Guide in every ranked match.
| Ability | Damage | Cooldown | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Temporal Jab (M1) | 10 per hit (3 hits) | N/A | Basic Attack | Standard chain, benefits from all slows |
| Time Warp (M2) | 12 | 4s | Projectile | 35% slow for 3 seconds on hit |
| Chronosphere (Q) | 8 per second | 12s | Zone | 5s duration, slows enemies inside |
| Time Focus (Passive) | N/A | N/A | Utility | Perfect dodge slows attacker by 50% |
| Temporal Rewind (Ultimate) | 55 | 32s | Ultimate | Rewinds 2s of position and health |
Optimal Chronos Combo Sequence
Chronos wins fights by layering slow effects before committing to damage. This five-step sequence shows how to chain Time Warp, Chronosphere, and Temporal Rewind into a rotation that deals roughly 180 damage while keeping the opponent permanently slowed. Practice it against bots before ranked, as covered in our Beginner Guide.
Adapt the sequence against dodgy opponents — if they perfect dodge your Time Warp, fall back to zone control with Chronosphere instead of forcing the engage. This defensive fallback keeps you safe and is explained in our How to Counter guide.
Open with Time Warp
Fire Time Warp (M2) from mid-range. The projectile travels fast enough to catch most opponents mid-dash, applying the 35% slow for 3 seconds.
Drop Chronosphere
Place Chronosphere behind the slowed opponent to cut off their retreat path. The zone stacks slows to 60% if they stay inside it.
Punish with M1 Chain
Land your full 3-hit Temporal Jab chain. A 60% slowed opponent cannot dash away or perfect dodge reliably, guaranteeing all 30 damage connects.
Corner with Time Warp Again
Fire a second Time Warp toward the corner you created with Chronosphere. The opponent must choose between walking through the bubble or eating the projectile.
Finish with Temporal Rewind
When the opponent is below 45% health, activate Temporal Rewind to blink behind them for 55 damage, instantly finishing the round from an unexpected angle.
Chronos Matchup Breakdown
Chronos's control-based kit creates a distinctive matchup spread. It dominates slow and close-range styles while struggling against hyper-mobile hit-and-run fighters who avoid the slow effects entirely. For defense tips against mobility styles, check our How to Counter guide for full details.
For current season rankings and matchup data across all fighting styles, check our Style Tier List page, which is refreshed after every patch. It covers every style from Common to Mythic with detailed notes and matchup analysis for every season.
vs Slugger (Advantage)
Slugger's slow swings become nearly impossible to land under Chronos's slows. Time Warp into M1 chains wins almost every exchange.
vs Ghost (Disadvantage)
Ghost's teleport bypasses Chronosphere entirely and dodges Time Warp's projectile. Rely on prediction and reaction rather than zone control.
vs Supernova (Even)
Both Mythic styles control space differently. Chronos wins close range, Supernova wins at range. Controlling the bubble placement decides the round.
vs Surgeon (Disadvantage)
Surgeon's speed and burst punish Chronos's setup-heavy gameplay. Play defensive and only engage after a guaranteed Time Warp lands.
Chronos Strengths and Weaknesses
Chronos is one of the most polarizing Mythic styles in the game — its control tools are unmatched, but its reliance on landing skillshots creates clear exploitable weaknesses. Knowing both sides lets you plan around the matchup instead of hoping for the best. Review our Pro Tips page for more.
The strongest Chronos players never force damage without a slow effect active. Discipline your sequences and the style plays itself. This patience-first mindset is detailed in our Pro Tips page. Learn to wait for openings before committing any ability, then punish hard.
- Slow effects stack to 60%, making slowed opponents unable to dodge or escape any follow-up attack
- Temporal Rewind doubles as a get-out-of-jail card, erasing positioning mistakes made in the last 2 seconds
- Chronosphere controls space passively, forcing opponents to respect zones that deal damage over time
- Skillshot dependency means perfect dodges on Time Warp leave Chronos with no offensive pressure for 4 seconds
- Below-average base damage compared to other Mythic styles — fights are won through control, not burst
- Combo setups are telegraphed; experienced opponents recognize the Time Warp animation and pre-dodge it
Optimal Chronos Playstyle Tips
Chronos rewards a patient, defensive-first approach. Start every round by establishing zone control with Chronosphere rather than engaging directly. Force your opponent to react to your time fields, then punish their escape routes with Time Warp and M1 chains. This defensive posture also keeps your stamina high, as detailed in our How to Dodge guide.
Master the Time Focus passive — a perfect dodge slows your attacker by 50%, turning their aggression against them. Against aggressive styles like Hawk, this creates punishing reversal windows that make pressure suicidal. Perfect dodge timing is trained in our How to Dodge guide.
In ranked matches, pair Chronos with Cooldown Reduction Gloves to cycle Time Warp and Chronosphere faster, or Stamina Gloves to sustain the constant movement that zone control demands. Avoid attack-speed builds entirely — Chronos's damage comes from control windows, not punch volume. See our Pro Tips page for more ranked strategies.
