The Popstar Style has taken Basketball Zero by storm, bringing a vibrant, music-inspired flair to the court. Inspired by Hatsune Miku, this exclusive style isn’t just about looks—it comes with a powerful kit of abilities that can dominate a game. This guide will walk you through exactly how to get the Popstar Style, its spin rates, and a full breakdown of its unique and Awakened skills.
How to Get the Popstar Style
The Popstar Style is exclusively obtained through the game’s gacha system. There is no direct purchase method. Follow these steps to try your luck:
From the main menu, press the “Style” button.
This will open the spin menu. You have two options: Spin or Lucky Spin.
Crucially, before spinning, make sure to select the “Popstar” tier on the right side of the menu. This ensures you are rolling for the correct style.
Spin Rates and Methods
Your chances of obtaining the Popstar Style are low, so managing your resources is key.
Regular Spin: The drop rate for Popstar Style with a regular Spin is a very low 0.25%.
Lucky Spin: While the exact rate for Lucky Spins isn’t specified, it is confirmed to have a significantly higher chance than a regular Spin. Using Lucky Spins is highly recommended.
How to Get Spins:
Regular Spins: Can be bought for 2,000 in-game dollars each or earned from Quests in the Season Pass area.
Lucky Spins: Can also be earned from quests or purchased with Robux.
Free Spins: Keep an eye out for active gift codes from the developers, as they sometimes offer free Spins.
Popstar Style Skills and Awakened Abilities
The Popstar Style’s strength lies in its versatile and disruptive skill set, which includes powerful Awakened state abilities.
Standard Skills
Flip Dunk: A flashy dunk that can only be performed when you are very close to the hoop. Successfully executing it grants a 5% Dribble Recovery Speed boost.
Music Fling: This ability can be used after you perform an Ankle Breaker on an opponent. It launches the affected player across the entire court, effectively removing them from the play temporarily.
Soul Strings: A powerful crowd-control skill that slows down all opponents on the court while simultaneously draining 10% of their Zone Bar.
Awakened Abilities
When you enter the Awakened state, your Popstar Style gains two game-changing abilities:
Guitar Slam: This skill triggers a cinematic cutscene before your player performs an instant slam dunk. It can even be activated while the ball is in the air. On top of the guaranteed score, it provides a substantial 20% Dribble Recovery Speed boost.
Beam: This is the Popstar’s ultimate crowd-control tool. It transforms the entire court into a stage, forcing all opposing players to dance uncontrollably until they fall over, leaving them Ankle Broken. You also receive a massive speed boost, allowing for an easy score or repositioning.
Important Time Limit
The Popstar Style is a limited-time offering. Players only have until November 22, 2025, to obtain it through the spin system. After this date, it will likely become unavailable, so make sure to use your Spins before the deadline.
