Break a Lucky Block Guide (2026)

Break a Lucky Block is a tycoon where you smash Lucky Blocks, dodge a giant brainrot named Sammy, and collect brainrots for your base. The Invisibility Cloak is the best gear. Disco Pickaxe is the mid-game goal. Rebirth after buying the best pickaxe you can afford.

I've put 40+ hours into this game since it hit 75K concurrent players. The loop is simple but addictive: run into the arena, break blocks before Sammy catches you, grab the brainrots that spawn, and bring them back to your base. Your brainrots generate cash per second, which you spend on better pickaxes and gears.

How the Game Works

You spawn with a small base plot and a Wood Pickaxe. The arena in the center has Lucky Blocks of different rarities. Sammy patrols the arena and kills you on contact.

The core loop:

Enter the arena
Break Lucky Blocks with your pickaxe
Grab brainrots that spawn from broken blocks
Return to your base before Sammy catches you
Place brainrots on your plot to generate cash
Buy better pickaxes and gears
Rebirth for permanent bonuses

Simple concept, but the execution matters. Knowing when to push for one more block versus retreating safely is the difference between fast progression and constant deaths.

Controls

Action	Key
Move	WASD
Break Block	Hold Left Click
Pick Up Brainrot	Walk over it
Place Brainrot	Click on base plot
Use Gear	E
Lock Base	L

Hold click on blocks, don't spam. Your pickaxe has a rhythm. Holding deals consistent damage. Clicking repeatedly actually slows you down.

First Hour Strategy

Starting Out

You spawn with the Wood Pickaxe (1 Power). It's garbage, but everyone starts here.

Run into the arena and break Normal Blocks only. They have low HP and your Wood Pickaxe can handle them. Ignore the rarer blocks for now since you can't break them fast enough before Sammy gets you.

Grab any brainrot that spawns and sprint back to base. Place it on your plot. It starts generating cash immediately.

First Purchases

Buy order matters. Here's what I recommend:

Stone Pickaxe (1K) - 5x better than Wood
Speed Coil (25K) - Escape Sammy easier
Iron Pickaxe (10K) - Break blocks faster
Invisibility Cloak (50K) - This changes everything

The Invisibility Cloak should be your first major goal. Once you have it, Sammy walks right past you. Farm blocks at your own pace.

Avoiding Sammy

Before you get the Invisibility Cloak, Sammy is your biggest threat. He patrols the arena in patterns.

Sammy tips:

He moves in predictable paths. Watch for a few seconds before entering.
He speeds up when he spots you. Don't try to outrun him without Speed Coil.
He can't enter your base. If he's chasing you, just run home.
He resets position after killing someone. Use that window to grab blocks.

I died probably 50 times before I learned his patterns. Now I can dodge him without gear, but the Invisibility Cloak makes it trivial.

Block Types and Rarities

Not all blocks are equal. Higher rarity blocks have more HP but drop better brainrots.

Block	HP	Brainrot Quality	Spawn Rate
Normal Block	Low	Common	Everywhere
Angel Block	Medium	Uncommon/Rare	Common
Block God	High	Rare/Epic	Uncommon
Secret Block	Very High	Epic/Legendary	Rare

Break two adjacent blocks together. Brainrots spawn faster when you break blocks next to each other. I didn't figure this out until my third rebirth. Would've saved hours.

Secret Blocks

Secret Blocks are the jackpot. They spawn randomly and everyone rushes them. The brainrots from Secret Blocks are worth 10-50x more than Normal Block drops.

When you see one spawn:

Drop everything and go for it
Use your gear (Invisibility Cloak or Speed Coil)
Accept that other players will compete for it
Even getting one brainrot from a Secret Block is worth dying for

I've seen three Secret Blocks in 40 hours. Got loot from two of them. Both times it was worth more than an hour of normal farming.

Pickaxe Progression

Your pickaxe determines everything. Higher power = faster block breaking = more brainrots per run.

Pickaxe	Power	Cost	Notes
Wood	1	Free	Starting gear, replace ASAP
Stone	5	1K	First upgrade
Iron	15	10K	Solid early game
Gold	35	50K	Can handle Angel Blocks
Diamond	75	250K	Mid-game standard
Disco	150	1M	Best value pickaxe
Galaxy	300	5M	Endgame
Void	500	25M	Post-rebirth goal

Disco Pickaxe is the sweet spot. It's expensive but the power jump from Diamond is massive. I farmed with Disco for three rebirths before upgrading to Galaxy. The Pickaxe Tier List has the full breakdown on when to buy each one.

Gear Guide

Gears give you abilities. You can only equip one at a time.

Gear	Effect	Cost	Rating
Speed Coil	+50% movement speed	25K	B
Gravity Coil	Higher jumps	25K	C
Fusion Coil	Speed + Gravity	100K	A
Invisibility Cloak	Sammy can't see you	50K	S
Heart Balloon	Survive one hit	75K	B

Invisibility Cloak is S-tier. Nothing else comes close. Sammy walks right past you. You can break blocks at your own pace without any pressure.

Fusion Coil is good for speedrunning between base and arena, but the Invisibility Cloak's safety is more valuable for consistent farming.

Rebirth System

Rebirthing resets your cash, pickaxes, and placed brainrots. In exchange, you get permanent bonuses.

Rebirth Rewards

Rebirth	Bonus
1	Larger base plot
2	+25% cash multiplier
3	Access to better pickaxes
4	+50% cash multiplier
5	Even larger base
6+	Scaling bonuses

When to Rebirth

Rebirth when you've bought the best pickaxe you can afford. Don't rebirth with 500K sitting in your account. Spend it first.

My rebirth strategy:

Farm until I can afford the next pickaxe tier
Buy the pickaxe
Farm a bit more to test if I can reach the next tier quickly
If not, rebirth and start fresh with bonuses

The first three rebirths are fast. After Rebirth 5, progression slows down significantly.

Fuse Machine

Use the Fuse Machine before rebirthing. It saves brainrots through the reset.

Put your best brainrots in the Fuse Machine. After rebirth, they'll still be there. I lost a God-tier brainrot on my first rebirth because I didn't know about this. Don't make my mistake.

Base Management

Your base generates cash from placed brainrots. Optimization matters.

Brainrot Placement

Fill every slot on your plot
Higher-value brainrots = more cash per second
Replace low-tier brainrots when you get better ones
Lock your base (L key) to prevent theft

Base Lock

The lock has a 60-second cooldown. When locked, other players can't steal your brainrots.

Always lock after placing valuable brainrots. I've had players sprint into my base and grab stuff while I was in the arena. The lock prevents this.

Advanced Strategies

Efficient Farming Routes

Don't wander randomly. Pick a section of the arena and clear it systematically.

My route:

Enter arena from the side closest to Angel Blocks
Break 3-4 blocks in a cluster
Grab spawned brainrots
Check for Secret Blocks or Block Gods
Return to base when inventory feels full or Sammy gets close

Server Hopping

Private servers have less competition for rare blocks. If you're struggling in public servers, consider:

Creating a free private server
Joining during off-peak hours
Finding servers with fewer high-level players

AFK Farming

Your brainrots generate cash while you're AFK. If you need to step away:

Lock your base
Make sure you're not in the arena
Let cash accumulate

I've left the game running overnight and come back to millions in cash. Not the fastest method, but it's passive.

Common Mistakes

Rushing rare blocks with a weak pickaxe. You'll die before breaking them. Stick to blocks you can handle.

Forgetting to lock your base. Other players will steal your brainrots. Lock after every placement.

Rebirthing too early. Spend your cash on upgrades first. Rebirthing with money in your account wastes it.

Ignoring the Fuse Machine. Your best brainrots disappear on rebirth unless you fuse them.

Spam clicking instead of holding. Hold the click button for consistent damage. Spam clicking is slower.
