Combat Styles are starting classes in Lies of P. They grant Pinocchio with preset stats and a weapon. Combat Styles are first chosen after P wakes up in Krat Central Station and walks to the end of the train car. Once a combat style is confirmed, it cannot be changed. However, players are free to raise any attribute when they level up and can also respec their stats later in the story after finding the Saintess of Mercy Statue. While only one weapon is obtained from a Combat Style, all three starting weapons can be purchased from the Wandering Merchant in Cerasani Alley.
In the Gamescom Demo, Combat Styles were known as Combat Memories. Combat Memories had a similar naming convention and weapons to Combat Styles but with different attribute stats.
