Blue Lock Rivals Styles Tier List (2026)

This Blue Lock Rivals styles tier list ranks every Style after 200+ hours of testing. Some through lucky spins, others through trading, a few through sheer stubbornness and too many rerolls.

The meta favors goal scorers right now. Playmakers exist, but if you can’t finish, you’re relying on teammates. And in solo queue? That’s a gamble I’ve lost too many times.

Here’s my Blue Lock Rivals tier list for the Snowlock Duo update.

Quick Reference

Tier	Styles
S+	NEL Nagi, Loki, Kaiser, NEL Isagi, NEL Rin, Don Lorenzo, NEL Bachira
S	NEL Reo, Aiku, Kunigami, Shidou, Sae, Yukimiya, King
A	Kurona, Bachira, Nagi, Charles, Gagamaru
B	Hiori, Otoya, Isagi, Karasu
C	Igaguri, Chigiri

Now let me explain why.

S+ Tier

These Styles win games. If you have one, use it.

NEL Nagi

The trap god. Takes everything good about regular Nagi and cranks it up. Multiple shooting options, feint abilities, and dribbling that makes 1v1s feel unfair.

Faced a NEL Nagi main who scored 4 goals in one half. Every time I thought I had him cornered, he’d trap the ball, fake a shot, and score anyway. Infuriating to play against. Amazing to play as.

Best Flow: Dribbler or Awakened Genius

Loki

First Master Class Style. Pure speed. Godspeed movement for attacking and ball snatching. Lacks shooting traits but creates chances every 30 seconds.

Best Flow: Emperor or Prodigy

Kaiser

World Class rarity for a reason. Ultimate striker. Powerful shooting, two dribble styles, abilities that complement aggressive play.

His awakening, Big Bang Drive, lets you teleport to aerial balls for bicycle kicks. Seen Kaiser players score from angles that shouldn’t be possible. The Blue Lock Rivals Discord calls him “the cheat code” and they’re not wrong.

Best Flow: Emperor or Demon Wings

NEL Isagi

Complete package. Off-ball shooting, on-ball shooting, and Metavision that shows enemy Styles for better counters. The dash + Metavision combo increases speed while giving you information. Broken.

Best Flow: Prodigy or Awakened Genius

NEL Rin

Goal scoring machine. Destroyer Domain either steals the ball or boosts your speed. Annihilate and Destruction Shot break through defenses. Occlusion Break dribbling clears paths to goal.

I main NEL Rin. Biased? Maybe. But my 3.2 goals per game average speaks for itself.

Best Flow: Soul Harvester or Emperor

Don Lorenzo

Most overpowered Style right now. Three base moves, three awakens. Dribbling and dashing are elite, but Golden Defense is the real threat. Counterattacks hit different with Lorenzo.

Best Flow: Dribbler or Chameleon

NEL Bachira

Dribbling demon. Basic abilities already clear paths to goal. Awakened? Freestyle Beeshot and Ginga x Monster let you shoot through crowds. Three defenders surrounding you? Doesn’t matter.

Best Flow: Bee Freestyle or Dribbler

S Tier

Not quite meta-defining, but still top picks.

NEL Reo

Reworked and now viable. Versatile kit that adapts to situations. Not the best at anything, but good at everything.

Aiku

Defensive anchor with offensive potential. Rare to see, but scary when played well.

Kunigami

Straightforward striker. Point, shoot, score. No complex mechanics, just raw power. Great for beginners who want results.

Shidou

Aerial specialist. Pair with Demon Wings and you own the sky. Dragon Drive and Dragon Header create constant threats.

Ran Shidou for 50 hours before switching to NEL Rin. Still respect the Style.

Best Flow: Demon Wings (mandatory)

Sae

Introduced chemical reactions with Shidou. Playmaking abilities that set up teammates. Less selfish than other S-tier picks.

Yukimiya

Underrated. Solid shooting and unique abilities that catch opponents off guard.

King

The “main character” energy is real. Amazing speed, great all-rounder. Ego would approve.

A Tier

Viable but outclassed by higher tiers.

Kurona

Decent dribbling, decent shooting. Jack of all trades, master of none.

Bachira

The original dribbler. Still good, but NEL Bachira exists now.

Nagi

Trap abilities are useful. Regular Nagi carried me to Level 50 before I got NEL Nagi.

Charles

Niche pick. Works in specific situations.

Gagamaru

Goalkeeper Style. If you want to play defense, this is your pick. Most players don’t.

B Tier

Usable but you’re fighting uphill.

Hiori

Playmaker without the tools to finish. Relies on teammates too much.

Otoya

Speed focused but lacks finishing power.

Isagi

Starter Style. Solid for learning, but you’ll want to upgrade.

Karasu

Interesting kit, but doesn’t excel anywhere.

C Tier

These need buffs.

Igaguri

The meme pick. Never seen an Igaguri win a 1v1.

Chigiri

Speed without substance. Other Styles do what Chigiri does, but better.
