What Exactly ARE Styles in Blue Lock: Rivals?

Game Mechanics

Think of Styles as the core of your player’s identity and abilities on the field. Inspired by the unique talents of characters from the Blue Lock anime and manga, each Style grants you a specific set of skills or moves. These aren’t just cosmetic; they dictate how you play – how you shoot, dribble, pass, defend, and even move around the pitch.

  • Unique Moves: Each Style comes with distinct abilities (often mapped to keys like Q, E, Z, X, C) that replicate signature moves from the series. Think Kaiser’s unstoppable shot or Bachira’s mesmerizing dribbles.
  • Playstyle Definition: Styles naturally push you towards certain roles. Some are built for pure goal-scoring, others for locking down defenders, playmaking, or even goalkeeping.
  • Game Impact: Mastering your chosen Style’s moves is essential for creating scoring chances, breaking through defenses, stopping opponents, and ultimately, winning matches in the intense 5v5 gameplay.

Choosing and mastering a Style that fits your preferred way of playing is arguably the most important strategic decision in Blue Lock: Rivals.

How to Get Styles: Spins, Rarity, and Pity Explained

Okay, so you want the best Styles like Kaiser or Don Lorenzo? You can’t just pick them. Styles are primarily obtained through a gacha system using Style Spins. Here’s the breakdown:

Style Spins: The Gateway to Power

  • How to Obtain:

    • Purchasing: The most direct way. Each Style Spin costs 2500 Yen (in-game currency). You can earn Yen by playing matches, completing quests, etc.
    • Quests: Many quests reward Yen, and completing the weekly quest bar (8 quests) can sometimes reward Style Spins or even Lucky Spins.
    • Daily Rewards: Logging in daily can grant you Style Spins over time.
    • Codes: Keep an eye out for official game codes released by the developers (often via Discord or Twitter) – they frequently give free spins!

Understanding Rarity: Why Some Styles Are Gods and Others… Aren’t

Spin System

Styles come in different rarities, which directly impact their power level and how hard they are to get:

  1. World Class (0.25% Chance): The absolute rarest and generally most powerful Styles (e.g., Kaiser, NEL Isagi, Don Lorenzo, Sae). Added relatively recently, these often define the meta.
  2. Mythic (0.5% Chance): Extremely powerful Styles, often game-changing (e.g., Kunigami, Rin, Shidou, Aiku, Yukimiya).
  3. Legendary (7% Chance): Strong, meta-relevant Styles that offer significant advantages (e.g., King, Nagi, Reo, Karasu).
  4. Epic (30% Chance): Solid Styles, often with unique niches or great utility (e.g., Bachira, Kurona, Gagamaru, Hiori, Otoya).
  5. Rare (62.25% Chance): Common Styles, often good for beginners but generally outclassed by higher rarities (e.g., Isagi, Chigiri).

Takeaway: Getting those top-tier World Class or Mythic styles requires significant luck or a lot of spins.

The Pity System: Your Safety Net

Spending thousands of Yen and getting nothing but Rares feels bad. That’s why Blue Lock: Rivals has a Pity System:

  • How it Works: After 50 Style Spins without getting Legendary or higher, your 51st spin is guaranteed to be at least Legendary rarity.
  • Pity Spin Odds (Approximate/Community Estimated):

    • Legendary: ~90%
    • Mythic: ~7%
    • World Class: ~3%
  • Important: The pity counter resets as soon as you pull a Legendary or higher rarity Style, even before hitting 50 spins.
Pro Tip

Lucky Spins are special spins you can buy with Robux (starting at 199 Robux) or sometimes get from codes/quests. They drastically increase your chances of getting high-rarity styles, completely removing Rare and Epic possibilities.

Blue Lock: Rivals Style Tier List

Alright, the moment you’ve been waiting for. Based on the current meta, community consensus, and the impact of recent updates, here’s how the Styles stack up. Remember, tier lists are subjective and skill matters, but this reflects the general power level and effectiveness in high-level play.

Tier Meanings:

  • S+ Tier: Game-breaking, meta-defining Styles. Possessing and mastering one significantly increases your win potential. Often considered overpowered.
  • S Tier: Extremely strong and highly versatile Styles. Top choices for competitive play, slightly less dominant than S+.
  • A Tier: Very good Styles with clear strengths and roles. Can definitely compete but might have more defined counters or lack the raw power of higher tiers.
  • B Tier: Decent Styles, often niche or requiring more skill/team coordination to shine. Outclassed by higher tiers in general effectiveness.
  • C Tier: Generally the weakest Styles. Can be viable with exceptional player skill or in very specific situations, but usually a disadvantage.

S+ Tier: The Kings of the Pitch

Elite Styles
  • Kaiser (World Class): The epitome of an offensive juggernaut. His Kaiser Impact shot is incredibly powerful and difficult to save. Combined with two potent dribbling moves (Emperor’s Dribble), he’s a goal-scoring machine that demands respect. If you want pure offensive firepower, Kaiser is arguably the best.
  • Don Lorenzo (World Class): Arguably the most overpowered Style currently. Insanely versatile with three base moves and three awakenings. Golden Defense allows devastating counter-attacks, while his dribbling and dash make him elusive. Can dominate both offense and defense. A true nightmare to play against.
  • NEL Isagi (World Class): A fantastic blend of offense and utility. Offers both off-ball (Lefty Shoot – great for stealing/intercepting) and on-ball (Direct Shot – powerful volleys) scoring options. The Dash with Metavision (reveals opponent styles/cooldowns) provides incredible tactical awareness. Top-tier scoring and intelligence.
  • Kunigami (Mythic): Raw power. His Knuckleball shots are lethal from mid-range and tricky to predict. Crucially, he possesses two Body Block variants (one for offense, one for defense), making him a versatile threat who can shield the ball or dispossess opponents. Still a dominant force despite calls for nerfs.
  • Rin (Mythic): The master of precision scoring. Rin’s Curve Shot bends in ways that leave goalkeepers helpless. His Opposite Direction dribble is excellent for creating space. His awakening significantly buffs his shot power, making goals almost guaranteed when timed right. Elite finisher.
  • Shidou (Mythic): Aerial dominance and explosive plays. Shidou thrives in the box. His Dragon Drive trap is fantastic for controlling aerial balls and setting up powerful shots. Synergizes well with passers. A major threat in the center of the field. (Note: Was Legendary, upgraded to Mythic)

S Tier: Elite Contenders

  • Sae (World Class): The ultimate playmaker. While not as rawly powerful as other World Class styles, Sae’s Perfect Pass and Magical Turn dribble allow for incredible midfield control and setup plays. Can score effectively too. Essential for teams needing elite ball distribution. (Note: Was Mythic, upgraded to World Class)
  • Aiku (Mythic): The premier lockdown defender. Aiku excels at one thing: taking the ball. His Forced Defense and Charge moves make him incredibly sticky and disruptive. While lacking scoring punch, a skilled Aiku can completely shut down opposing attackers.
  • Kurona (Epic): Don’t let the Epic rarity fool you. Kurona is an amazing team player. His One-Two passing is iconic and fantastic for quick give-and-gos, while Shark Steal is surprisingly effective. Needs a good striker to shine, but enables incredible team plays.
  • Yukimiya (Mythic): The dribbling maestro. If you love breaking ankles and taking on defenders 1v1, Yukimiya is your guy. Freestyle and Lethal Touch make him incredibly slippery. In a meta focused on scoring, his ability to create his own shot is invaluable. (Note: Has received nerfs but remains strong)
  • King (Legendary): Speed kills. Formerly broken, King still boasts exceptional speed with King’s Impact and King’s Dribble which can break ankles and create openings. While slightly toned down, his disruptive potential and pace are still elite for offensive pressure or quick transitions. (Note: Was Epic, upgraded to Legendary)

A Tier: Strong & Viable

  • Bachira (Epic): The flashiest dribbler. If Yukimiya is about effective dribbling, Bachira is about style. Reworked abilities (Steal, Nutmeg, Scissors awakening) make him even more potent for 1v1s and creative plays. Can be tricky to master and sometimes glitchy, but incredibly fun and effective in the right hands.
  • Nagi (Legendary): The trap specialist. Nagi excels at controlling the ball, especially in mid-air, with his signature Trap. This allows him to secure difficult passes and instantly transition into a shot or pass. His Dash provides mobility. Great for punishing sloppy clearances and scoring volleys.
  • Reo (Legendary): The Chameleon. Reo’s unique Copy ability (around 50% chance to copy a non-World Class move) makes him incredibly versatile. He can switch between offensive and defensive modes, adapting to the situation. Low cooldowns add to his utility, though the RNG and inability to copy the best styles hold him back slightly.
  • Gagamaru (Epic): Underrated utility. Primarily known as a top-tier Goalkeeper Style thanks to Bear Claw and Handstand saves. However, his powerful header ability makes him a surprisingly dangerous scoring threat on corners or crosses. Timing-based but effective.

B Tier: Niche & Situational

  • Hiori (Epic): Solid playmaker with Laser passes and Ice Dribble. Good at controlling midfield but lacks the finishing power needed in the current meta. Can feel a bit “vanilla” compared to flashier styles. Struggles to create his own shot effectively.
  • Otoya (Epic): The Ninja. Fast and elusive with Stealthy Steps (temporary invisibility) and Ninja Dribble. Excellent for sneaking past defenders or escaping pressure, but severely lacks scoring threat. Good for 1v1s and disruption, not for finishing plays.
  • Isagi (Rare): The best beginner striker Style. Direct Shot and Fadeaway (formerly Direct Pass) are simple and effective. His U20 Kick awakening is surprisingly potent. Functional, but quickly outclassed by higher rarities due to basic moveset. Gets the job done early on.
  • Karasu (Legendary): Defensive midfielder. Good ball control (Raven Dribble) and decent stealing (Crow Theft). Effective at harassing opponents and maintaining possession, but lacks significant offensive impact or lockdown defensive power compared to Aiku.

C Tier: Challenging to Use Effectively

  • Chigiri (Rare): Pure speed. Speed Boost and Stamina Boost make him the fastest Style over short bursts. However, he offers almost zero offensive threat or defensive capability. Best used as a dedicated back-fielder to quickly cover ground or potentially as a niche goalkeeper for rushing out, but generally a weak pick for standard play.

Understanding the Meta

Strategy Insights

The introduction of World Class Styles, especially Kaiser, NEL Isagi, and Don Lorenzo, has significantly shifted the Blue Lock: Rivals meta:

  • Offense is King: The current meta heavily favors Styles that can reliably score goals. The sheer power of S+ and S tier offensive options means having strong finishers is crucial.
  • World Class Dominance: These ultra-rare styles often feel like a tier above everything else. Their complex kits and high stats make them incredibly impactful.
  • Defense is Reactive: While strong defenders like Aiku are valuable, the meta leans towards reacting to potent offenses rather than proactively shutting everything down. Styles with counter-attacking potential (like Don Lorenzo) are particularly strong.
  • Dribbling Matters: With defenses focusing on stopping power shots, Styles that can reliably beat defenders 1v1 (Yukimiya, Bachira, Kaiser) have become even more important for creating space.
  • Team Synergy: While individual skill shines, Styles that enable team play (Kurona, Sae) remain effective, especially when paired with elite finishers.

Tips for Choosing Your Style

  • Love Scoring Goals? Aim for S+/S Tier strikers: Kaiser, NEL Isagi, Kunigami, Rin, Shidou.
  • Prefer Locking Down Opponents? Focus on Aiku or the versatile Don Lorenzo. Karasu is a budget defensive option.
  • Enjoy Dribbling & 1v1s? Yukimiya, Bachira, Kaiser, King, Otoya offer various dribbling flavors.
  • Want to Control the Midfield & Pass? Sae, Kurona, Hiori, Reo fit the playmaker mold.
  • Just Starting Out? Isagi is designed for beginners. Bachira or Kurona (Epics) are good early goals if you get lucky.
  • Consider Your Team: If your friends are all strikers, maybe grabbing a defender like Aiku or a playmaker like Sae/Kurona would be more beneficial.

Remember: While the tier list provides a good framework, personal playstyle and skill can sometimes outweigh raw character power. Find a Style that suits how YOU want to play!
