Freedom Style Guide - Untitled Boxing Game Wiki

Overview

Freedom is the Common fighting style every player starts with in Untitled Boxing Game, and the only style that lets you switch between your other unlocked styles mid-fight. Its base stats are weaker than dedicated combat styles, but the switching mechanic is a powerful tool. See our Styles Overview.

Freedom Style Switching Showcase

Watch this showcase of Freedom in competitive action, demonstrating how mid-fight style switching lets you shift between aggression and defense instantly. The video highlights the switching rhythm and combo opportunities that make Freedom one of the most interesting styles to master, alongside our Combo Guide.

How Style Switching Works

Freedom's core mechanic is Switch Hit (R), which swaps your current style to the next style in your equipped loadout during combat. The switch takes under half a second, staggers nearby opponents, and costs 30 stamina. You can cycle through up to three equipped styles in one fight, as covered in our Controls and Keybinds guide.

The switch animation has a short vulnerability window, so it is rarely wise to switch mid-combo against aggressive opponents. Instead, the ideal usage is during neutral — when both fighters are spacing each other, a quick switch changes the matchup dynamics before your opponent can adapt. Timing this correctly is covered in our Controls and Keybinds guide.

Your ultimate gauge carries over between styles, which creates an interesting dynamic: you can build ultimate meter with a safe long-range style, then switch to a burst style and unleash its ultimate on the same gauge. This meter sharing is the foundation of most advanced Freedom strategies, including the setups in our Pro Tips page.

Freedom Ability Stats

Here are the base stats for Freedom's own ability kit. Note that Freedom's own attacks are intentionally modest — its real power comes from the styles you equip alongside it, which retain their full stats when switched to in combat. Compare loadouts in our Styles Overview.

The R cooldown is the most important number on this table for planning your switching rhythm, so memorize it before entering ranked. Timing your swaps between cooldowns is also covered in our Pro Tips page for advanced players looking to improve.

The Switch Hit Rotation

This rotation demonstrates the core Freedom loop: poke with Freedom's cheap tools, build ultimate gauge, switch to a burst style, and finish with a heavy style's ultimate. Master this sequence and you effectively fight with three styles per round, as detailed in our Combo Guide.

Beginner players should practice the switch timing in the training hub first — a mistimed switch during combat is a free punish window for any opponent. Build this habit early with the drills in our Beginner Guide before you queue up for ranked.

Best Style Combinations with Freedom

The strength of Freedom depends entirely on the styles you equip alongside it. A well-built loadout covers aggression, defense, and burst so you always have an answer to the matchup in front of you. Start with the loadout guide in our Styles Overview.

The current meta's strongest combinations pair Freedom with at least one counter-style for defense and one Mythic or Legendary style for finishing power, per our Style Tier List. Mixing rarities keeps your options open against any opponent you might face.

Freedom Strengths and Weaknesses

Freedom is the only style that can adapt mid-fight, but that adaptability comes at the cost of raw stats. Understanding what Freedom sacrifices — and what it gains — is essential before building your loadout around it. See our Beginner Guide for the basics.

In ranked play, Freedom users are most dangerous in the final round when they know the opponent's habits and can build a loadout to counter them. Adapt your switch plan between rounds, as taught in our How to Play guide.

• Mid-fight switching lets you counter your opponent's style after seeing their play pattern — the only true adaptation tool in the game
• Shared ultimate gauge enables burst finishers that opponents cannot anticipate, since they never know which ultimate you hold
• Base stats are the weakest of any style, making pure Freedom-on-Freedom fighting a losing proposition against dedicated styles
• The 8-second switch cooldown creates predictable windows where skilled opponents know your options are limited
• Loadout management adds a strategic layer — wrong style picks waste the entire mechanic

Advanced Freedom Strategies

The highest level of Freedom play revolves around switch conditioning. Experienced opponents track your switch cooldown and style order, so top players cycle styles predictably, then break the pattern for a free punish. This mind-game layer is unique to Freedom, as analyzed in our Pro Tips page.

Another advanced trick is the Switch Hit cancel — switching staggers nearby opponents, so a well-timed R during their approach can interrupt an attack and grant a free combo from any of your three styles. The stagger is short, so practice converting it into a real punish rather than a simple reset, as shown in our Combo Guide.

Finally, respect the stamina cost of switching. Three switches per round cost 90 stamina, leaving you dangerously low for the finish. Budget your switches like your ultimate — one counter switch, one finisher switch, and one emergency escape switch is the ideal round plan.
