Learn how to create the ideal build as you level up your Superstar in WWE 2K25 The Island to dominate online matches.
Building the perfect character to suit your playstyle in WWE 2K25’s The Island can be the difference between dominating the ring and getting steamrolled. Your character’s performance hinges on how you allocate attribute points and which badges you target. While building your character, the stats you spec into provide a foundation for badge synergy. Whether you prefer overwhelming your opponents with a flurry of strikes, soaring through the air with high-risk maneuvers, or using every weapon at your disposal, the right build makes all the difference.
1) Striker Build in WWE 2K25 The Island
The Striker build is the best build to cheese your opponents in The Island’s online matches and aims to end fights within a minute. You’ll want to deal heavy striking damage and spam light and heavy attack combos, complemented with the right badges. When putting in the right stats, the striker will bring opponents’ limb health into the red within no time and stun them with light and heavy attack combos. Select the Cruiserwight class and Mogul background to gain access to the Locomotion badge.
Start off with a running opening strike to surprise your opponent, followed up by a flurry of light and heavy attacks to stun and build on. Use the Rage Payback to instantly unlock your finisher, which should preferably be a strike and can be performed when the opponent is stunned.
The Locomotion badge is the cherry on top of the Striker build. It decreases the stamina drain from throwing strikes, making your barrage of blows seemingly endless.
2) High Flyer Build
The High Flyer is perhaps the most rage-inducing build after the Striker, as it involves repeatedly jumping at your opponent from the ropes. It can be hard to master but incredibly fun to play as your moves will remain dynamic depending on the flow of the match. Choose the Parts Unknown background and the Cruiserweight class to be able to sail through the air.
3) All-Rounder Build
The All-Rounder build is for players who have an aversion to min-maxing. To use this build, allocate VC across all attribute categories while choosing the Powerhouse fighting style, the Heavyweight class, and the Athlete background with the Leg Day badge. The build will focus on increasing power and durability to outlast opponents and use a variety of attacks against them. Use the Iron Jaw Payback to be able to recover immediately from a stun.
4) Technician-Submission Build
This build focuses on forcing opponents to submit quickly, preferably after dizzying them. Choose the Technician fighting style, the Social Media Influencer background, and the Super Heavyweight class. The Bully Payback is crucial, as it significantly reduces the countdown timer for your second pin attempt.
5) Weapon-Specialist Build
This is a highly specialized build that relies on quickly grabbing makeshift weapons and doing terrible damage to opponents with Beast mode. You will want to choose the Striker fighting style, Parts Unknown background, and Cruiserweight class.
