Neo Tennis Tier List – Best Styles [UPD 3/13]

Your Neo Tennis style choice has a lot to do with whether you’re looking to play on a high competitive level or a casual level. For casual play even the B-Tiers below work well but this tier list will focus on high-level 1v1s and 2v2s. Here’s my Neo Tennis styles tier list and guide.

Neo Tennis Style Tier List

The best styles in Neo Tennis depend on if you’re playing competitive or casual matches and also whether you’re doing 1v1s or 2v2s. Generally the most balanced and flexibile styles are the ones in S-Tier which are good for any mode. The A-Tier are great alternatives but are more specific. As for the B-Tiers, these are great styles for casual play but are weaker and more situational for pro play. Lastly, the C-Tier is for overall weak styles. Let’s dive into each style, its stats and how to counter its Awakening.

How to Use Awakening: It’s usable only when you are losing at 0-30 or 15-40 and it’s usable only once per rally. Once you meet the conditions you’ll get a Q prompt to press. This starts the awakening animation and then you can use your Awakening Ultimate move by pressing Q again for some styles.

How to Curve Shot: For serving use medium power and adjust the curve with A or D (Or the directional inputs on mobile/console). During the game, you need to dash and swing when the ball is to your left or right.

S-Tier Styles

S-Tier Styles	Style Breakdown
ADS Robot Secret	Ranking Notes: • Arguably the best style in the game • The most balanced stats that are good for any game mode • Especially strong in 1v1s since the awakening robot makes it really hard to play for your opponent How to Counter Awakening: • You need to survive the 5-7 robot shots as best you can • I recommend staying in the middle and reacting to shots • The slower it is the better your chance of countering it • Look for smashes to the sides when you can and repeat until the robot is out Stats:
Meteor Rain Secret	Ranking Notes: • Very strong awakening with the meteor shots that can be awkward to dodge • If you hit your opponent with the meteors in 1v1s it’s over so I prefer it for duels • That said the AOE of the meteors makes it great for 2v2 as well • Overall very strong offensive power that’s better overall than even Heavy Hitter How to Counter Awakening: • Stay out of the red circles • Stay out of the orange boxes if you can Stats:
Temporal Master Secret	Ranking Notes: • Amazing shot control for curving balls • I recommend trying to curve shot serve under 60% to get used to curving • Really strong for high-level 1v1 and 2v2 due to mind games between curves and smashes • Also great speed for defending Stats:

A-Tier Styles

A-Tier Styles	Ranking Explained
Heavy Hitter Legendary	Ranking Notes: • The best beginner style due to the highest smash power • Holds up in higher level play too when combined with Temporal • The awakening makes your shots even heavier from all shooting positions How to Counter Awakening: • Stay in the middle and quickly try to save the balls since they’ll be perfect hits every time Stats:
Echo of Cosmos Secret	Ranking Notes: • Stat-wise it’s pretty great due to the balance of strengths and weaknesses • The reason I put it lower than the others is that the awakening is easy to counter • Otherwise it’s a decent Style for all modes, especially in casual How to Counter Awakening: • Just stay in the middle behind the 2 boxes Stats:
Shadow Step Mythical	Ranking Notes: • Very strong defensive style that’s an alternative to Temporal due to the speed • Weaker than the S-Tiers in pro play but excellent for casual play • Can throw off opponents with the fake balls in both 1v1 and 2v2 with awakening How to Counter Awakening: • Play around with dashes and head-movement when not in shiftlock • This will allow you to practice since your character will stay locked on the ball • This allows you to tell which is the real one Stats:
Flash Rare	Ranking Notes: • Extremely underrated due to being Rare but it’s actually pretty good for defense • One of the best defensive styles if you don’t have Temporal or Shadow How to Counter Awakening: • Stay in the 2 boxes in the front and play aggressively • Flash awakening players tend to stay back so this allows you to overpower them Stats:

B-Tier Styles

B-Tier Styles	Ranking Explained
Magician’s Trick Mythical	Ranking Notes: • The stats are weak for high-level pro play • But the invisible ball awakening is pretty strong so it’s situationally powerful How to Counter Awakening: • Dash up to and hit the ball as it goes invisible • Alternatively try to time your hit before it goes invisible Stats:
XMas Surprise! Mythical	Ranking Notes: • Great for casual play but the low Power and Speed make it bad for high level play • It can be better than Magician’s Trick ocasionally due to better offensive power How to Counter Awakening: • Stay outside of the boxes and stay on the blue area in the back Stats:

C-Tier Styles

C-Tier Styles	Ranking Explained
Angel Common	Ranking Notes: • The higher jumps can help you land some jump smashes • That said they can also make you miss the ball sometimes • Overall not the best style to use and easy to counter How to Counter Awakening: • The opponent just gets higher jumps which isn’t anything powerful • Watch out if you launch a slow high ball • Otherwise it’s not even a competitive awakening Stats:
