Secret Styles are the rarest and most powerful Styles in Neo Tennis. Limitless. Jackpot. The abilities that completely break matches.
But getting them isn't just luck. There's a hidden pity system, level requirements, and optimal spinning strategies that most players don't know about.
After burning 400+ spins figuring this out, here's everything that actually works.
Pity System Quick Reference
| Pity Type | Spins Required | When |
|---|---|---|
| Regular Pity | 200 spins | Weekdays |
| Weekend Pity | 100 spins | Sat/Sun |
| Jackpot Pity | 50 Lucky Token spins | Anytime |
| Level Requirement | N/A | Level 15+ |
Level 15 Requirement
This is the biggest thing new players miss.
Secret Styles cannot drop from spins until your account reaches level 15. Before level 15, the Secret tier is locked. You can spin a million times and never see one.
Check your level in the top corner of the screen. If you're below 15, stop spinning and start grinding matches.
Matches give experience. Ranked matches give more than casual. Wins give more than losses. At a normal pace, reaching level 15 takes around 3-5 hours of active play.
Don't waste spins before level 15. Save them all. Every spin used below level 15 is a spin that couldn't have been a Secret.
How Secret Pity Works
Even at level 15+, Secret Styles have a 0.01% base drop rate. Extremely rare.
But the game has a pity system that guarantees Secret Styles after enough spins. There are two pity mechanics.
Regular Pity
Every spin that doesn't give a Secret adds to your pity counter. At 200 lucky spins without a Secret, the next spin is guaranteed to be a Secret Style.
This counter persists between sessions. If you spin 150 times today and 50 times tomorrow, the 50th spin tomorrow is pity.
Weekend Secret Pity
On weekends (Saturday and Sunday server time), there's an enhanced pity system.
Every 100 lucky spins on weekends guarantee a Secret Style. This is double the efficiency of weekday pity.
If you're grinding for Secrets, save your spins for weekends. 100 spins on Saturday is worth more than 100 spins on Wednesday.
Lucky Spins vs Regular Spins
Not all spins count toward pity equally.
Lucky Spins are earned from gameplay, events, and codes. These count toward pity at full value.
Regular spins purchased with Robux also count but at the same rate. There's no bonus for paying.
Some limited event currencies have different pity rates. Check event details when they're active.
For pity optimization, focus on accumulating Lucky Spins from free sources. Codes are the fastest way to get large quantities.
Jackpot Style Pity
The Jackpot Style is a special Secret with its own pity system.
In the Styles menu, you can select which Secret Style you're targeting. Select Jackpot (it shows a red dot when active) before spinning.
With Jackpot selected, every spin has a 10% increased chance of dropping Jackpot specifically. Additionally, after 50 Lucky Token spins, you're guaranteed Jackpot.
This 50-spin pity only works for Jackpot. Other Secrets like Limitless still follow the 200-spin regular pity or 100-spin weekend pity.
If you specifically want Jackpot, target it and spin with Lucky Tokens during weekends for maximum efficiency.
Optimal Spinning Strategy
Based on everything above, here's the efficient approach.
Before Level 15
Don't spin at all. Save every spin from codes and rewards. Watch your experience bar and grind matches until you hit level 15.
At Level 15 on a Weekday
Still don't spin unless desperate. Weekend pity is double efficiency. Waiting 1-5 days saves significant spins.
At Level 15 on a Weekend
This is when you empty your spin reserves.
- Target the Secret you want in the Styles menu
- Spin in batches of 10 for psychological comfort
- Track your spin count mentally
- Hit pity at 100 spins guaranteed
If you have fewer than 100 spins, decide if you want to gamble or wait until you accumulate enough to guarantee.
What Secrets Are Worth Targeting
Not all Secret Styles are equal. Check our Style Tier List for full rankings.
Limitless is considered the strongest overall. The Infinity freeze ability destroys opponent timing. If you don't know what to target, target Limitless.
Jackpot has its own 50-spin pity, making it easier to obtain. The ability is RNG-heavy but fun. Good for players who want a Secret fast regardless of which one.
Other Secrets rotate in and out of availability. Check current rotation before spinning.
Tracking Your Pity
The game doesn't show your pity counter directly. You have to track it mentally or with external notes.
After each spinning session, write down how many spins you used. Before your next session, review your notes to know how close you are to pity.
Some players use spreadsheets. Others just remember "I'm about 70 spins into pity." Find a method that works for you.
If you lose track, assume worst case and start counting fresh from zero.
Common Mistakes
These waste spins and delay your Secret.
Spinning before level 15
The most common mistake. Secrets can't drop. Every spin is wasted potential.
Spinning on weekdays
Weekend pity is 100 spins. Weekday pity is 200. Same Secret, double the cost. Wait for Saturday.
Not targeting a Style
Without targeting, you might hit pity and get a Secret you don't want. Always select your target before spinning.
Spending all spins before pity
If you have 80 spins and weekend pity is at 100, don't spin. You'll burn 80 spins with no guarantee and reset progress. Save until you have enough to hit pity.
How Long Does It Take
With no Robux spending, reaching pity takes significant grinding.
Expect 2-4 weeks of daily play to accumulate 100 Lucky Spins from codes, events, and match rewards. Faster if new codes drop or events run.
With Robux, you can shortcut this entirely. But spending isn't required. Patient free players hit pity eventually.
The important thing is efficiency. Every spin wasted on weekdays or pre-level-15 extends the grind. Follow the strategy above and you'll minimize time to Secret.
After Getting Your Secret
Congrats. Now what?
Read our Mechanics Guide to learn how to actually use the abilities. A Secret Style with bad execution loses to a Legendary with good mechanics.
Consider awakening your Style for stat boosts. Check our Awakening Guide for requirements.
Get proper equipment. The Ice Racket from codes pairs well with most Secrets.
