Update 42 is here, and it’s a major one — introducing Masteries, the long-awaited return of Taichou, fresh style balance changes, and a 2x Secret Weekend Event. Let’s dive deep into everything this update brings to the court.
1. Masteries Arrive (YOGAN & HIDARI)
The new Mastery System finally makes its debut, starting with Yogan and Hidari styles.
This feature lets you level up your styles from 1-Star to 5-Star by completing special in-game challenges.
How Masteries Work
Open the Styles Menu and find the Mastery tab for eligible styles.
Each mastery level requires you to complete specific gameplay challenges while using that style.
Once you finish all five challenges for your current level, hit “Complete” to upgrade your mastery tier.
Mastery Rewards
Leveling up your mastery not only makes your style shine but also grants Lucky Spins, exclusive rewards, and even cosmetic upgrades at the final tier.
| Style | Level 5 Cosmetic Reward |
|---|---|
| Hidari | Replaces your left arm with his robotic arm |
| Yogan | Turns your red rage head flames into blue inferno flames |
These cosmetics serve as a visible badge of skill — a way to show off your dedication and mastery on the court.
More styles will receive Masteries in future updates, so let the devs know which ones you’d like to see next!
2. Taichou Returns!
The legend is back! Taichou, one of the most dominant styles in Volleyball Legends history, is available again for a limited time.
Why You Need Taichou
Known as the current highest win rate setter in the game.
Powers up your teammates’ spikes with magical set buffs.
Stack these sets to double your power bonuses for devastating offensive plays.
If you missed him before, now’s your chance to grab him before he disappears again.
3. Style Balance Changes
Update 42 also brings a sweeping round of balance adjustments to keep gameplay competitive and fresh. Here’s a full breakdown:
Hidari (Nerfed)
Serve Gravity Nerfed – The serve was too difficult to counter due to excessive gravity. It now behaves similarly to TSO’s Rainbow Serve, but without knockback.
Spike Gravity Nerfed – The spike no longer has heavier gravity near the net. Instead, it’s consistent across all ranges, making S-tilt spikes harder to land. This means Hidari will now require more precision and skill.
Kisuki (Buffed)
Spike Power Increased by +11% – Kisuki’s spikes now hit significantly harder. A solid buff that makes this style more viable in competitive play.
Kazana (Buffed)
S-Tilt Rework – Kazana now uses Sanu’s backtilt instead of Bakuri’s.
This change makes it easier to hit backcourt shots when jumping high in the air — giving Kazana better offensive versatility.
Twins (Adjusted)
- Float Serve Adjustment –
When closer to the net: less backspin (making it easier to control).
When serving from the baseline: more spin, improving precision and trick potential.
Overall, this change increases the skill ceiling for Twins players who position strategically.
