The style changes depending on the character's style type. The style change meter fills up as the player defeats foes. Characters with Haki can activate it to knock out enemies (Haoshoku), enhance the power of their attacks (Busoshoku) or to instantly chain into combos (Kenbunshoku). There is a new Haki usage system and Style Change system. After the player builds up a certain meter, they will be able to use a special attack and switch to playing as their partner. The game features a new Partner system to replace the Crew Strike system from the first game.
