Dragon Claw is a fighting style which consists of holding one's fingers in a claw-fashion to deal crushing-blows on opponents.
It was released on October 30, 2022, as a part of the 6.0 update after ranking first in a poll for future Fighting Styles. It is obtained by speaking to Vrael at Dokkan Island which is north of Thriller Bark. To progress the moveset the player must win 7 Battle Royale matches or arena, each win giving the next move.
On September 23rd, 2022, Phoeyu released the showcase.

- Pros
- 2 Block Breakers. (3 If counting the ultmate.)
- 2 Combo Extenders.
- 1 Counter (X - Reverse Dragon)
- Giving the user 7 moves offers great versatility for only 100 required in the fighting style
- Low stamina drain
- Great compatibility with the Mera-Mera No Mi and Vrael's Pipe.
- The ultimate does extremely high damage, gives hyperarmor, and sends enemies flying away, making it a really great choice for battle royale or bounty hunting by knocking people into the ocean.
- Can be paired with the Gura-Gura no Mi for a moveset comprised of nearly ALL block-breakers.
Cons[]
- Missing the moves can get you easily punished.
- All moves are incredibly close-range.
- Obtainment method may be found difficult by some.
- Dragon Breath, when cancelled, keeps you on the ground and leaves you unable to move for what would be the length of the move.
Tips[]
- It is recommended to use the Mera-Mera no Mi with this fighting style as it greatly buffs the damage and procs fire damage when used in conjunction.
- Most if not all moves scale off of strength, so it's best to use a weapon like Boneshiver or Knight's Gauntlets for best results.
Trivia[]
- This is the first fighting style to require Battle Royale wins in order to unlock its moves.
- Vrael only counts the player's wins of the current Battle Royale season.
