That's a very fast blade for an allround style... and a low budget.
Within these confines, I'd go for DHS Neo Hurricane 3, Yinhe Big Dipper or Friendship Battle II probably - although you might get to spent just slightly over $40.

I agree that it would be hard to enjoy playing an ALL style with the Aruna OFF. Maybe change your choice of paddle? or if you've bought it already look for slower rubbers. Just my advice as a newer player.

Yes, Aruna OFF would be a challenge for AR play, unless you are an experienced player.
Rossi Emotion is the right Joola choise for AR.
Xiom Omega V Asia at 2.00 mm is very good for attacking AR and feels great on Rossi Emotion.

Whoops, got confused on which playstyle is which. Anyways, my current playstyle is more of a controlled offensive / counter-hitter. Also, I had already purchased this blade and I am looking for rubber recommendations with this playstyle. Thank you

I am also a controlled offensive counter-hitter, and I use the Donic Waldner OFF 2016 which bears some similarity to the Aruna OFF. I just started a thread about these awesome Chinese rubbers by Gambler! The Gambler Mech-Tek Predator is a pips-in foam-backed rubber that has epic spin when you kick it into gear, very respectable speed and high catapult which I have used to make cross blocks against topspin loops. It loves engaging for the forehand topspin too, so I think you'll love them! At only $14.00 per side you can't go wrong!
Edit: This rubber seems to be a Tenergy copy. I hope I've helped out!

Aruna off has carbon fibres and Hinoki outer plys. To compare it to a 5ply all wood isn´t quite fair.
There is a fair amount of opinions that Aruna off is Rossi Emotion in green.
Some people claim that Aruna has Kiri inner ply, while Rossi has Ayous.
Joola unfortunately said different things on website and catalogue.
However, similarities are big enough (or differences too small) to claim one is for Allround while the other is not suitable or too challenging.
As for rubbers, with the right discount there should be a variety of rubbers for under 40 $. Or do you mean 40 for both?

Sorry. But, based on what you just said above, you should get an Appelgren Allplay BLADE and put on Mark V or one of the Chinese rubbers Yoass recommended and sell the Aruna blade. You can get a whole setup for the price of the that blade and it would be better for you. If you are playing the style you say, the Aruna blade will make it harder for you to improve. The Appelgren blade will help you improve.
If you don't have footage of yourself, take a phone, anyone's phone will do, and have someone film you just hitting for 2 min.
I think I am accurate without the footage. But, the footage could show I am wrong. If you post footage of yourself playing we will be able to recommend equipment that would help you. But it is likely that the blade and rubbers I already mentioned would be best for you.

Or if you are not a big looper neottec hiromi m is very good for hitting and blocking due to the low sensitivity to spin. Can't loop well or fast tho

The Hinoki outer of Aruna is much thicker than that of Rossi Emotion. The core is different.
And Rossi Emotion is definitely better for AR. Its OFF- capable, but has a nonlinear sudden change of speed to do this.
Aruna is much more linear and is really faster. Rossi Emotion is more flexy and helps a higher throw.
I don't know who says what, but for me the differences are well enough to classify those blades in different categories.

I'll try to get footage of myself sometime when I get to play
Regarding the Neo Hurricane 3 and the Yinhe Big Dipper and knowing these two are Chinese tacky rubbers, do you these two rubbers would perform as well even if they weren't tuned with some sort of booster? Boosters are too expensive in my opinion and I wanted to know if those 2 rubbers are worth it even if they aren't boosted. Thanks

I know that tabletennis11.fr (JC in the shop in Paris) recommend 1.8mm Vega Pro on both sides of the Rossi Emotion, and I think it would match all your criteria. It's a little on the hard side and makes you work for your shots, but it's dead stable and should pair nicely with your two-speed hinoki-surfaced blade.
