Ibara Overview: Limited Secret Style
Ibara is a Blocker and Spiker-oriented Secret style introduced in Update 71 of Volleyball Legends. Released on May 23, 2026, it joined the pool of 17 limited Secret styles and remained obtainable only until June 6, 2026, making it one of the rarer sights in public lobbies today.
The name "Ibara" comes from the Japanese word for "Thorn" (いばら), which fits the style perfectly: it is the only style in the game that uses nature for defense, choking the court with vines instead of relying on pure reflex blocking.
Ibara was removed from the spin pool after June 6, 2026. If you did not unlock it during the limited window, your only realistic path is waiting for a potential return event. Check the official Volleyball Legends channels for announcements.
How to Obtain Ibara
Ibara is earned exclusively through spins. Here is how the odds break down:
| Spin Type | Chance | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Style Spin | 0.01% | Standard pool, extremely rare |
| Lucky Style Spin | 0.5% | 50x better odds, best option |
Stockpile Spins
Save currency for Style Spins before any limited Secret window opens. Limited styles like Ibara only stay in the pool for roughly two weeks.
Prioritize Lucky Style Spins
At 0.5%, the Lucky Style Spin is the only reasonable way to chase a 0.01% Secret. Grind the modes that reward premium spin currency.
Spin During the Limited Window
Every spin outside the May 23 – June 6, 2026 window was wasted for Ibara. Future limited Secrets will follow the same pattern.
Confirm the Unlock
Ibara features an MVP win screen animation, so you will see it in action quickly after unlocking.
If a limited Secret returns in a future update, expect the spin pool announcement several days ahead. Bank your Lucky Style Spins between events rather than spending them on permanent styles.
Secret Special: Vine Walls
Ibara's signature move is Vine Walls, its Secret Special. Activating it grows vines directly on the court, which block and ricochet the ball. This turns the middle of the court into a hazard zone for opponents, forcing awkward angles and defensive scrambles.
Because Ibara is a Blocker/Spiker hybrid, Vine Walls lets it control space defensively while still finishing points with spike pressure — a rare dual identity among Secret styles.
Vine Walls Balance Changes
| Date | Change | Description |
|---|---|---|
| June 6, 2026 | Buff | Vine Walls charge rate increased by 25% in 1v1 & MINI 1v1 |
| June 6, 2026 | Buff | Vine Walls charge rate increased by 50% in 2v2, CHAOS 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, & 6v6 |
The final buff made Vine Walls charge 50% faster in team modes. Ibara is significantly stronger in 2v2 through 6v6 than in solo queues, so queue with teammates to maximize its potential.
Ibara Stats & Playstyle
Ibara's stat profile leans heavily into wall play. It is the sixth style to have a 9th stat (Wall), and it shares a rainbow stat bar for Wall with Riku — a visual marker of a stat exceeding the normal ceiling.
| Stat Area | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wall / Blocking | ★★★★★ | Rainbow stat bar, beyond-normal value |
| Spiking | ★★★★☆ | Strong finisher to pair with wall control |
| Overall Role | Blocker / Spiker | Hybrid control-and-punish identity |
Blocker Focus
- Wall stat exceeds 100%
- Nature-based court denial
- Punishes predictable shots
Spiker Hybrid
- Converts blocks into offense
- Strong close-out potential
- MVP win screen animation
Team Anchor
- +50% charge rate in team modes
- Controls the net area
- Best in 3v3 to 6v6
Ibara is the third female style in the game (after Akari and Kijo) and the tenth style to feature an MVP win screen animation. Its shared rainbow Wall bar with Riku signals that these two are the game's premier wall styles.
