# Styles

<mark style="color:red;">**Styles**</mark> are an additional tactical choice that a player can make for their warrior before fighting begins.

{% hint style="info" %}
Styles influence ***how*** warriors fight
{% endhint %}

In the Alpha release of Styles, users select a Style choice for their warrior during the tournament registration process, and that selection will persist in every Brawl throughout that tournament. The warrior will use the selected style regardless of the opponent's selected style.

Similar to [Runes](/battleworld/battleworld-alpha-launch/runes.md), we hope to eventually evolve this choice from a tournament-level to a round-level decision.

{% hint style="info" %}
**At Alpha launch, there will be 3 Style choices:**&#x20;

* Balanced
* Blitz
* Zoner
  {% endhint %}
