Sharkman Karate is the most practical default pick for hunting Sea Beasts among the fighting styles with direct support in current community hunting guidance: the guide says its moves can damage Sea Events and highlights its area damage, range and mobility. Sanguine Art is a high-damage alternative, but it is harder to obtain and its usual Z-move healing does not work on Sea Beasts. Neither source provides controlled damage-per-second testing, so there is no proven universal winner. Dangerous Sea Hunting Guide; Sea Beast.
Which fighting style should you choose?
Choose Sharkman Karate if you want a capable, comparatively practical style for Sea Beast hunting. The Dangerous Sea Hunting Guide says its moves can damage Sea Events and describes the style as having all-area-of-effect moves, decent range and mobility. Those are useful qualities when attacking a large target while managing the surrounding sea encounter. The guide’s style notes are qualitative, not a measured ranking.
Sanguine Art is worth considering if you already have it or can meet its requirements. The same guide describes it as high damage and says its moves hit Sea Event enemies, but also calls it very hard to obtain. Its Z move can damage a Sea Beast with bats, yet the Sea Beast reference says the move does not attach to the beast or steal health from it. Damage and healing are separate mechanics here.

Why there is no proven highest-DPS style
The available guidance describes move interactions and gives qualitative traits, but it does not provide controlled damage-per-second figures for fighting styles against Sea Beasts. It also does not establish that a style’s basic M1 attacks, special moves and healing effects behave identically. Treat Sharkman Karate as a supported practical recommendation, not a verified damage champion; likewise, Sanguine Art’s high-damage description is not a measured comparison.
Fighting styles are close-combat abilities obtained from teachers across the different Seas, and their damage scales with Melee, according to the general fighting-style reference. That context helps explain their place in a build, but it does not settle the specific Sea Beast comparison. Fighting Styles.

A fighting style is only one part of Sea Beast damage. The Sea Beast reference puts substantial emphasis on fruit abilities, naming Magma as a fast, effective option and also mentioning Gas and Lightning. If your goal is to defeat Sea Beasts efficiently, consider your fruit and overall approach alongside your style rather than expecting a fighting-style choice alone to determine the outcome. Sea Beast.
- Use Sharkman Karate as the practical default when choosing between the two styles discussed here.
- Consider Sanguine Art for its described damage if its demanding unlock is not a barrier, but do not count on its Z move to heal from Sea Beasts.
- Verify volatile unlock requirements in-game, and judge the style as one part of a broader build.
