Alright, fellow egoists! You’re on the pitch, the scores are level, and you need that edge to snatch victory. In the world of Blue Lock: Rivals on Roblox, that edge often comes down to one crucial mechanic: Flows.
If you’ve ever wondered what those flashy auras are, how they work, and crucially, which ones are the absolute best to help you crush your rivals, you’ve come to the right place. This isn’t just another list; this is your comprehensive, no-nonsense guide to understanding and mastering Flows.
| Normal Spins | World Class | 0.25% |
| Mythic | 0.5% | |
| Legendary | 7% | |
| Epic | 30% | |
| Rare | 62.25% | |
| Lucky Spins | World Class | 2.5% |
| Mythic | 5% | |
| Legendary | 92.5% |
Think of Flows as temporary, high-impact power-ups you can activate during a match. Unlike your character’s Style (which provides permanent abilities), Flows give you short bursts of enhanced stats or unique effects.
- Activation: You build up your “Flow State Bar” by performing actions like scoring, assisting, tackling, or even just participating actively in the play. Once the bar reaches at least 30% capacity, you can unleash your equipped Flow.
- Impact: The effects vary wildly, from insane speed boosts and unstoppable shots to defensive lockdowns and even team-wide benefits.
- Temporary: They don’t last forever! Using a Flow consumes your Flow bar, which then slowly regenerates, ready for the next crucial moment.
Mastering Flows isn’t just about having the rarest ones; it’s about knowing when and how to use the right Flow for the situation. That’s where this guide comes in.
Blue Lock: Rivals Flow Tier List
The meta in Blue Lock: Rivals is constantly shifting, especially with new updates and Flow introductions. This tier list reflects the current power balance, considering the impact of updates around March 2025 (like the Don Lorenzo adjustments and the arrival of the Emperor Flow).
Why Tiers Matter: Choosing a high-tier Flow can genuinely change your potential on the pitch. While skill is paramount, a powerful Flow acts as a massive force multiplier.
Here’s the breakdown, from the absolute game-breakers down to the ones you might want to reroll:
S+ Tier (Overpowered Meta-Definers)
These Flows are currently dominating the game. If you roll one of these, cherish it. They offer unparalleled advantages.
- Emperor: (World Class) The new king? Quite possibly. Provides exceptional speed and shot power enhancements while also reducing ability cooldowns. Its impact on shooting dynamics is immense.
- Dribbler: (Mythic) Become an ankle-breaking machine. Massively boosts dribbling strength, enabling longer, more effective dribbles to cut through defenses and create shooting chances. High skill ceiling, devastating results.
- Prodigy: (Mythic) Bend it like… well, anyone with Prodigy! Grants increased shot power and on-ball speed, and its signature move makes all normal shots curve, bamboozling goalkeepers.
- Awakened Genius: (World Class) Why pick one buff when you can have several? This Flow grants bonuses from multiple other Flows simultaneously, offering enhanced dribbling, stronger shots, and gives teammates a 20% Flow bar boost on activation.
- Soul Harvester: (World Class) Tailored for Don Lorenzo’s style. Grants 10% ability cooldown reduction, increased movement speed, +1 header stat, and +1 dribble stat. A fantastic all-around offensive boost with utility.
S Tier (Excellent & Highly Impactful)
These Flows are incredibly strong and can easily carry games. They might be slightly less universally broken than S+ but are top-tier choices.
- Demon Wings: (Legendary) Visually awesome, mechanically terrifying. Massively increases jump height and header strength, and boosts shot speed. Personalized for Shidou.
- Gale Burst: (Epic) The stamina king. Dramatically increases stamina regeneration speed (almost infinite while active) and speeds up shot release.
- Crow: (Legendary) Provides a significant increase in shooting strength and boosts tackle speed, offering a valuable edge on both ends of the pitch.
A Tier (Very Good & Reliable)
Solid, dependable Flows that offer significant advantages and fit well into many strategies.
- Chameleon: (Legendary) Reduces ability move cooldowns by 25% and provides a slight movement speed buff. Ideal for Styles with powerful but long-cooldown abilities.
- King Instinct: (Epic) A counter-attack specialist that allows you to “break ankles” (briefly immobilize opponents on tackles) and grants massive shot power, ideal for initiating counters.
- Wild Card: (Legendary) Provides a random boost to either Speed, Strength, or Stamina, or even all three at once (rarely).
B Tier (Good & Situational)
These Flows have specific niches where they shine but are generally outclassed by higher tiers.
- Snake: (Mythic) Reduces tackle cooldown, shortens ragdoll time, increases speed, and enlarges the tackle hitbox.
- Monster: (Epic) Designed for maintaining offensive pressure with a shorter dribble cooldown and no speed reduction on receiving the ball.
- Trap: (Legendary) Likely focused on enhanced ball control or trapping. May require precise execution.
C Tier (Average & Beginner-Friendly)
- Puzzle: (Rare) A simple starter Flow that provides a basic movement speed boost. Reliable but underwhelming compared to others.
- Lightning: (Rare) Offers a basic power shot boost, more useful for passing than scoring.
- Genius: (Epic) Grants no personal buffs but gives teammates around 30% of their Flow bar upon activation.
D Tier (Avoid if Possible)
These Flows are generally considered weak or too niche. Reroll them if you can.
- Ice: (Rare) Increases pass strength and adds auto-tracking to passes but offers little individual advantage.
Understanding the underlying system helps you use Flows more effectively:
- The Flow Bar: This gauge fills through gameplay actions like scoring, assisting, tackling, and interceptions.
- Activation Threshold: You need at least 30% of your Flow bar filled to activate most Flows.
- Consumption & Duration: Activating a Flow consumes part or all of your Flow bar, and its effect lasts for a set duration, varying by Flow.
- Regeneration: After use, the Flow bar slowly regenerates, with the rate sometimes influenced by game events or specific Flows.
- Synergy with Styles: Some Flows work exceptionally well with certain Styles, so choose your Flow based on your Style and role.
How to Get Flows in Blue Lock: Rivals (Obtainment & Spin Odds)
You obtain Flows primarily through a gacha-style spin system:
Flow Spins
- Cost: 2,000 Yen per spin. Yen is earned by playing matches, completing quests, etc.
- Legendary Pity: After 50 regular Flow Spins without getting a Legendary or higher, your next spin is guaranteed to be at least Legendary rarity. Estimated pity odds on that spin are roughly 90% Legendary, 7% Mythic, and 3% World Class.
You can slightly increase the chance of getting a specific Flow by clicking on it in the spin menu before spinning, though the base odds still apply.
Lucky Spins
- Source: Often obtained through special events, quest milestones, promotional codes, or by purchasing with Robux (starting around 199 Robux).
- Better Odds: Lucky Spins have significantly higher chances of granting rare Flows and do not count toward your regular Legendary Pity counter.
Other Methods
- Quests & Daily Rewards: Sometimes Flow Spins or Lucky Spins are given as rewards.
- Codes: Developers occasionally release codes (via Discord or Twitter) that grant Spins or Yen.
Best Flows By Position
Some Flows naturally synergize better with certain positions:
Strikers (CF, LW, RW)
- Top Choices: Emperor, Prodigy, Dribbler, Demon Wings (especially with Shidou), Crow, Soul Harvester.
- Focus: Finishing, shot power, creating space, and speed.
Midfielders (CM, CAM, CDM)
- Top Choices: King Instinct, Awakened Genius, Gale Burst, Crow, Chameleon, Wild Card.
- Focus: Playmaking, ball winning, stamina, versatility, and transition play.
Defenders (CB, LB, RB)
- Top Choices: Snake (especially with Aiku), Crow, Awakened Genius, Monster (for carrying out from back), Gale Burst (for recovery speed).
- Focus: Tackling, intercepting, speed, recovery, and disrupting opponents.
Important Note: Your specific Style is just as important as your position when choosing the best Flow!
Combining the right Flow with the right Style can create devastating effects:
- Demon Wings + Shidou: A quintessential aerial threat combo that amplifies Shidou’s jumping and volleying power.
- Snake + Aiku: A defensive nightmare that makes breaking through incredibly difficult.
- Prodigy + Yukimiya/Sae: Enhances technical dribbling or passing with unpredictable curved shots.
- Emperor/Soul Harvester + Kaiser/Lorenzo: These Flows are personalized for these Styles, enhancing shooting, speed, and cooldowns.
- Chameleon + High Cooldown Styles: Ideal for Styles with powerful but infrequent abilities.
Experiment! Sometimes unconventional pairings can surprise opponents.
Recent Updates & Meta Changes
The Flow landscape isn’t static. Keep these recent shifts in mind:
- March 29, 2025 – Emperor Flow Arrives: This World Class Flow shook up the meta with its potent mix of speed, power, and cooldown reduction, rocketing to S+ Tier.
- March 1, 2025 – Don Lorenzo Update: Balance adjustments to several Flows led to shifts in the current tier list.
Why this matters: Game patches can buff or nerf Flows, changing their viability overnight. Always stay updated via official announcements or community hubs.
Pro Tips for Maximizing Flow Usage
- Know Your Flow Inside Out: Understand its exact effects, duration, and cost.
- Timing is EVERYTHING: Activate your Flow during critical moments – just before a shot, anticipating a tackle, during a breakaway, or when defending a crucial attack.
- Match Flow to Style & Position: Leverage synergies; a mismatched Flow is less effective.
- Consider the Opponent: For example, if the enemy goalie struggles with curved shots, use Prodigy; if facing a fast dribbler, consider activating Snake preemptively.
- Team Coordination (If Applicable): In team modes, communicate Flow usage to avoid overlapping defensive Flows and to maximize support.
- Manage Your Flow Bar: Be mindful of how quickly it fills and depletes; don’t waste it on minor situations if a major one is imminent.
- Don’t Be Afraid to Experiment: Sometimes a lower-tier Flow might suit your unique playstyle perfectly.
- Stay Updated: The meta changes frequently, so keep learning and adapting.
