Styles

Kurona in Project Egoist

A post-launch Style that got a whole cluster of apology and buff codes.

Kurona Style

Kurona is how you can tell Project Egoist kept growing after the launch four. He does not need a fake Z/X/C table to matter. The public record is a cluster of strings: Kurona, Kurona2, KuronaBuff, QOLUpdateKurona, plus THESHARK in the same season. That is a kit getting attention. It is also a graveyard. All of those codes are on the expired list.

Why this page exists

Players search Kurona after a YouTube title or a Discord ping and land on launch articles that never mention him. This hub page is the missing index. Deep button GIFs stay on Trello. Patch talk stays on Discord. We write the decision: when he showed up, what the codes meant, and how to use a later Style in a 6v6 without treating a rework tweet as a new physics engine.

QOL in the code names matters. A quality-of-life patch can change how a kit feels without changing rarity. If you played Kurona before that window and hated him, play five matches on the current client before you sell the inventory slot in your head. Inventory is permanent. Opinions are not.

How to get him

Same gacha as everyone else. 500 Yen a single, 5,000 a ten-pull, Legendary 2.5 percent if he is on the live banner. How to get Styles is the math. Codes buy rolls. A Style-name code has never been a free unlock in this game. KuronaBuff was Cash. Spend the Cash on the banner, then equip.

If he is not on the current banner, do not dump a Ninja-era 15k stack hoping the card flips anyway. Banners rotate. The updates hub and Discord tell you which name is rate-up.

How to play him

Kurona’s Blue Lock flavor is link play and timing, not a lonely emperor shot. Until Trello is open on a second monitor, play him like a connector: receive, Q the first slide, pass early, arrive in the box for the second ball. How to dribble still starts with i-frames. How to score still starts with a keeper step.

Do not Super Dash through two bodies because a buff code made you feel immortal. R has no i-frames on any kit. Flow is still one V. If the rework added a mobility toy, it did not delete those two sentences.

Matchups: Kaiser will try to ignore you and shoot. Your job is the passing lane and the late arrive. Sae already does the elegant version of this job; Kurona is the later alternative when the banner says so. Isagi remains the teacher if you have not learned Off-Ball Movement yet.

Rank

The styles tier list keeps him in the later-roster band until a week of public play agrees on a row. A QOL tag is not an automatic S. Play him in a real six, not in a private lobby against bots you invented.

Read the changelog for the Kurona window. Read getting started if you installed during that patch and skipped the group join. Bookmark Trello for the GIF of the skill you actually pressed.

When the next shark-themed string lands, redeem it on the live table and then come back here. We will not resurrect KuronaBuff because a creator reused a thumbnail. We will update this page when the kit, not the merch name, changes.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions.

Did Kurona ship with Project Egoist on day one?

No. He is a later Style. Launch was Kaiser, Sae, Isagi, and Nagi.

What did KuronaBuff give?

Cash during a QOL window. It is expired. It never unlocked the Style.

Where do I see Kurona's skills?

Official Trello GIFs. This page will not guess button names.

Should I reroll Kaiser for Kurona?

Only if the live banner and ten matches say so. A buff code is not a rank.
