Welcome to the definitive guide for mastering the Reo style in Roblox Blue Lock Rivals! Inspired by the ultra-versatile Reo Mikage from the Blue Lock series, this Legendary style offers a unique and dynamic playstyle centered around adaptation and mimicry. If you’ve ever wanted a character who can truly be a “Jack of All Trades, Master of… All?”, then Reo might be your perfect match.
Many players are drawn to Reo’s potential but struggle to unlock his true power. Competitors might showcase flashy plays or list basic stats, but they often fail to provide the deep strategic understanding needed to dominate. This guide fixes that.
Reo is a Legendary rarity Style in Blue Lock Rivals, obtainable through Style Spins. He embodies the concept of ultimate versatility. Unlike styles hyper-focused on offense (like Kaiser) or specific niches (like Nagi’s trapping), Reo’s core strength lies in his ability to adapt to any situation by mimicking the abilities of other players on the field.
His official description, “Jack of All Trades, Master of …All?” hints at this potential, but mastery requires understanding his unique toolkit and the broader game mechanics. He’s a high-skill-ceiling style that rewards game knowledge and strategic thinking.
How to Get the Reo Style
-
Style Spins: This is the primary method. Navigate to the ‘Style’ menu in the Blue Lock Rivals UI.
-
Roll: Use your Style Spins. Reo is in the Legendary pool.
-
Rarity: Legendary styles reportedly have a low drop chance (often cited around 2%, though exact figures can vary with updates or events). Within the Legendary pool, you then have a chance to specifically get Reo (competing with other Legendaries like Nagi, King, Bachira etc.). Based on the Fandom wiki info mentioning a 7% chance for Legendary with a 1/4 chance for Reo specifically, this might be more accurate than the general 2% often quoted – the key takeaway is: it’s rare.
-
-
Lucky Spins: These special spins sometimes offer significantly higher chances (e.g., 94% mentioned in the Fandom wiki) of obtaining Legendary styles, drastically improving your odds if you have them.
-
Codes & Events: Keep an eye out for official game codes or special events that might grant extra Style Spins or temporarily boost Legendary drop rates.
Persistence (and maybe some luck) is key!
Reo’s Core Abilities Explained (The Chameleon’s Toolkit)
Reo’s power comes from three core components: his signature Copy, his tactical Mode Switching, and his game-changing Chameleon Awakening. Understanding these is crucial.
Base Move 1: Copy (The Signature Skill – Default Key: C)
This is Reo’s defining ability and the source of much confusion. Let’s clarify:
-
Mechanic: When you target another player (teammate or opponent) and activate Copy, Reo mimics the last Base Move (C or V move) that player used.
Despite some outdated info or rumors suggesting a 50/50 chance or dependence on Reo’s current mode, the most consistent and widely accepted mechanic (supported by experienced players and video evidence) is that Copy replicates the opponent’s most recently activated base ability.
Example: If a Kunigami player last used their V move (Body Block), pressing C on them gives you Body Block. If they last used their C move (Left Volley Shot), pressing C on them gives you Left Volley Shot. It doesn’t matter what your current mode (Offensive/Defensive) is for determining which move you copy.
- Cooldown: Approximately 60 seconds (as per Fandom data – videos suggest potentially faster cooldowns, possibly influenced by Flows like Chameleon Flow, which reduces ability CDs). This is a significant cooldown, making strategic use vital.
-
Limitations:
- World Class Styles: You generally cannot copy abilities from Mythical/World Class rarity styles (like Kaiser, NEL Isagi, etc.).
- Other Reo Users: You cannot copy another Reo’s Copy ability or their copied move.
- Initial State: If the targeted player hasn’t used any ability yet in the match or since respawning, Copy might default to their V move or fail.
- Known Bugs: Some copied abilities, notoriously Isagi’s Direct Pass, have been reported to bug out, becoming unusable until you copy something else or respawn. Be aware of this potential frustration.
Base Move 2: Offensive/Defensive Mode (Tactical Stance Switching – Default Key: V)
This ability allows Reo to instantly shift his focus, providing passive buffs. It has a very short cooldown (around 2 seconds), enabling rapid adaptation.
-
Offensive Mode:
- Effect: Increases Shot Power and Pass Strength.
- Use Case: Activate when you have possession and are looking to score, make a powerful long pass, or synergize with a copied shooting ability. Makes your shots harder and passes travel faster/further.
-
Defensive Mode:
- Effect: Increases Tackle Speed and potentially tackle range/effectiveness (allowing faster, longer slides).
- Use Case: Activate when you lose possession, need to intercept an opponent, close distance quickly for a tackle, or cover ground defensively. This is often considered the default mode for general mobility by many top Reo players due to the speed advantage.
Mastering the quick switch between these modes based on the flow of the game is essential for high-level Reo play.
Awakening: Chameleon (Ultimate Mimicry)
Reo’s Awakening takes his copying ability to the next level.
- Mechanic: When activated, you target another player. Chameleon copies the target’s Awakening (Ultimate) ability.
- One-Time Use: This is a single-use copy per Awakening activation. Once you use the copied Awakening, it’s gone (until you charge your Awakening gauge again).
- Immense Potential: This allows Reo to access powerful ultimates like Shido’s Big Bang Drive, Isagi’s Final Shot, King’s Devour, Rin’s Final Shot Flow, etc., depending on who is in the match.
- Strategic Use: Choose your target wisely based on the game situation. Need a guaranteed goal? Copy a powerful shooting ultimate. Need to break through defense? Copy a strong dribbling or disruption ultimate.
Some copied Awakenings (like Big Bang Drive shown in Video 3) have occasionally glitched, firing incorrectly. While potentially fixed in patches, be aware that complex interactions can sometimes lead to unexpected behavior.
Mastering Reo: Strategy & Tactics
Knowing the abilities is one thing; using them effectively is another. Here’s how to elevate your Reo gameplay:
The Art of the Copy: When and What to Mimic
Your Copy target shouldn’t be random. It requires Game Knowledge and Situational Awareness.
- Know Every Style: To effectively use Copy, you must know the C and V moves of every relevant style in the game. Understand what each ability does, its range, and its cooldown. This knowledge dictates your copy decisions.
- Think Ahead: Anticipate what ability an opponent is likely to use next, or recall what they just used. Is the striker likely to shoot (C move) or use a dribble/utility (V move)?
-
High-Priority Offensive Copies:
- Shooting: Shido (Dragon Drive/Header), Rin (Curve Shot – be wary of bugs/nerfs), Kunigami (Left Volley), potentially Nagi (Black Hole Trap for setup).
- Dribbling/Breakthrough: King (King’s Dribble), Bachira (Monster Dribble/Nutmeg), Nagi (Elastic Turn/Control skills), Say/Itoshi Sae (Magical Turn).
-
High-Priority Defensive Copies:
- Tackling/Disruption: Kunigami (Body Block), Gagamaru (potentially specific saves/blocks if copyable) – often, relying on Reo’s own boosted tackle speed in Defensive Mode is sufficient.
-
High-Priority Utility Copies:
- Passing: Isagi (Direct Pass – HIGH BUG RISK), Say (Perfect Pass). Use with caution due to potential bugs.
- Speed/Mobility: Any ability granting significant speed bursts if Defensive Mode isn’t enough.
- Adapt to the Server: If the best player on the enemy team is using King, prioritize copying King’s abilities. If Shido is dominating, focus on getting Dragon Drive/Header. Your copy strategy should adapt to the specific threats and opportunities in your current match.
Leveraging Offensive & Defensive Modes
Don’t just set one mode and forget it. Fluid switching is key:
- Default Stance: Many prefer Defensive Mode as default for the constant speed boost, aiding positioning and interceptions.
- Offensive Switch: Instantly switch to Offensive Mode right before taking a shot (especially a copied shooting ability) or making a crucial long pass.
- Defensive Switch: Immediately switch back to Defensive Mode after losing the ball or scoring to quickly reposition or pressure the opponent.
- Synergy: Combine modes with copied abilities. Offensive Mode + copied Dragon Drive = powerful shot. Defensive Mode + copied speed boost = unmatched map traversal.
Positioning and Playstyle: The True Jack-of-All-Trades
Reo excels because he isn’t locked into one role:
- Center Forward (CF): Copy powerful shooting or dribbling moves to create scoring chances. Use mode switching to shoot harder or quickly track back on defense.
- Midfield: Copy passing abilities (if reliable) or disruptive moves. Use Defensive Mode speed to control the center of the field, intercept passes, and transition quickly between offense and defense.
- Defender: While less common, Defensive Mode’s tackle boost combined with copied defensive abilities (like Body Block) can make Reo a surprisingly effective defender in a pinch.
His adaptability makes him strong in almost any team composition.
Synergizing with Flows
- Chameleon Flow: This flow is almost tailor-made for Reo, often reducing ability cooldowns (including the crucial Copy ability) and increasing movement speed when active. This allows for more frequent mimicry and greater map presence.
- Trap Flow: While more associated with Nagi, the cooldown reductions could potentially benefit Reo’s Copy ability as well, though perhaps less synergistically than Chameleon Flow.
Experiment with different Flows to see how they enhance your Reo playstyle.
Strengths and Weaknesses: Is Reo Right for You?
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Unmatched Versatility: Can adapt to nearly any situation or opponent style. | Requires Extensive Game Knowledge: You need to know what other styles do to use Copy effectively. |
| Unpredictability: Opponents struggle to predict what ability you’ll pull out next. | Reliance on Opponents: Your options are limited by the styles present in the match. |
| High Skill Ceiling: Rewards deep game knowledge and strategic thinking. | Copy RNG (Initial Target): Can’t always control when an opponent uses a specific move. |
| Strong Mobility: Defensive Mode provides excellent base speed and tackling. | Cannot Copy Top Tier: Inability to copy Mythical/World Class abilities. |
| Awakening Power: Chameleon Awakening offers access to the game’s best ultimates. | Known Bugs: Frustrating bugs (like the Direct Pass issue) can temporarily cripple your copied ability. |
| Fun Factor: The dynamic nature of copying abilities keeps gameplay fresh. | Legendary Rarity: Difficult to obtain initially. |
Reo vs. Other Top Styles
While tier lists fluctuate, Reo consistently ranks highly (often A-Tier or S-Tier depending on the meta and player skill).
- vs. S+ Offensive Styles (Kaiser, NEL Isagi): These styles have more raw, consistent scoring power with their unique kits. Reo offers more adaptability but less specialized offensive dominance.
- vs. Other Versatile Styles (Isagi – Epic): Reo is generally considered a significant upgrade over base Isagi due to the power of Copy and Mode Switching, offering far more options.
- vs. Specialized Legendaries (Nagi, King, Shido): These styles excel in their specific niches (trapping, dribbling/impact, raw power shots). Reo can mimic parts of their kits but lacks their focused consistency. His strength is borrowing tools from all of them.
Reo shines brightest when piloted by a player who understands these matchups and knows which tools to borrow at the right time.
Tips from the Trenches: Becoming a Top Reo Player
-
Learn Every Style: Seriously, this is non-negotiable. Study other characters’ C and V moves.
-
Prioritize Defensive Mode: Use the speed boost for better positioning and defense as your default stance.
-
Master Mode Switching: Practice flicking to Offensive Mode just before shooting/passing, then back to Defensive.
-
Be Patient with Copy: Don’t waste the cooldown. Wait for a good opportunity to copy a high-impact ability relevant to the current situation.
-
Target Wisely: Focus on copying abilities from the most impactful players on the field.
-
Know Your Limitations: Remember you can’t copy everything (World Class) and be prepared for potential bugs. Have a backup plan if a copied move fails.
-
Utilize Chameleon Awakening Strategically: Don’t just copy the first ultimate you see. Think about what your team needs most in that moment.
-
Practice: Reo takes time to master. Experiment in different matches and roles to build your game sense.
