Both are endgame styles
If you own both, use Ronin when you want to hard-carry in 1v2/2v2, and switch to Encho when playing 3v3 with a team that needs flexible coverage. They complement each other perfectly.

When to pick Ronin
Choose Ronin if you want to be the primary scorer. With max Jump and Spike stats, Ronin delivers the most consistent spike pressure in the game. The Mastery scaling means the more you play, the more dangerous your spikes become. This style demands good positioning and timing — you need to read the opponent's block and place your spikes where they are not. Ronin works best in 1v1 and 2v2 where one dominant scorer can control the game's pace. Pair Ronin with Shield Breaker or Divine Strength to maximize spike penetration.
When to pick Encho
Choose Encho if your team needs flexibility. The Stretch mechanic literally extends your reach on every action — blocking, spiking, serving, and setting. This makes Encho effective in any situation and any team composition. In 3v3 coordinated play, Encho can fill gaps: if your setter is pressured, Encho can step in; if the spike is coming to your zone, the extended reach makes blocks easier. Encho's stat spread is balanced, meaning no glaring weaknesses. The trade-off is that Encho does not excel in any single stat the way Ronin performs strongly in spike and jump.
Is Ronin better than Encho?
Neither is strictly better — they serve different roles. Ronin is the better pure scorer; Encho is more flexible. Your team composition and preferred game mode should guide the choice.
Can Encho still be obtained?
Encho was an Evo rarity style from a limited-time event. As of April 11, 2026, it is permanently unobtainable. Players who already own it can continue using it.
Which is harder to play effectively?
Ronin has a steeper learning curve because spike positioning and timing are critical. Encho's Stretch mechanic is more forgiving of positioning mistakes.
