Blue Lock: Rivals – Best Styles Tier List (Updated for NEL Bachira)

Whether you’re new to Blue Lock: Rivals or a returning player, your style choice defines your success on the pitch. Inspired by the hit manga, these styles reflect your personal playstyle—whether you’re a powerhouse forward like Shidou or a tactical genius like Isagi. Below is our updated tier list (as of April 26, 2025), ranking the best styles to dominate the field and score big in Roblox’s popular football battler.

Tier List Overview

We’ve sorted all current styles from S+ (best of the best) to C (only pick if you’re experimenting or just having fun). While all styles can be viable in the right hands, this list reflects how each style performs in today’s meta, which favors aggressive scoring and efficient dribbling.

S+ Tier – Meta-Defining Styles

These are the most powerful and versatile styles. If you roll one of these, stick with it—they’re game-changers.

Kaiser – Elite-level striker with unmatched shot power and dribbling variety.
NEL Isagi – Incredible off-ball movement and shooting, with Metavision boosting awareness and speed.
Don Lorenzo – Overpowered all-arounder with dribble, dash, and “Golden Defense” that punishes attackers.
NEL Bachira – Insane dribbling potential. Once awakened, can shoot even when triple-teamed.
Kunigami – Balanced monster: strong mid-range shots and dual body block abilities.
Rin – Deadly curved shots and superior shot power on awakening.

S Tier – Extremely Strong Picks

Not quite broken, but still top-tier in the right lineup.

Shidou – Dominant in center field. Dragon Drive can be used for tricky passes and fast goals.
Sae – Great speed and potential, but suffers from a rare awaken drop.
Aiku – Top-tier defender. Needs a scoring move to hit S+.
Kurona – Midfield maestro. Great for passing and controlling play.
Yukimiya – One of the best at dribbling in 1v1 scenarios.
King – Speed demon with effective disruption and passing, though slightly nerfed in recent updates.

A Tier – Solid and Versatile

Good styles with potential, but may lack a standout edge compared to top picks.

Bachira (base) – Flashy and fun dribbler. Great for skill-focused players.
Nagi – Unique aerial traps and a powerful long shot make him a creative attacker.
Reo – Copies opponent moves and shifts between attack/defense modes.
Gagamaru – Surprisingly strong offensive goalkeeper with a powerful header.

B Tier – Situational & Specialized

Can work well with practice, but generally not top-tier in the meta.

Hiori – Great for playmaking, but lacks finishing power.
Otoya – Good dribbler with an invisibility skill, but weak in goal-finishing.
Isagi (base) – Easy for beginners. Gets better with U20 awakening.
Karasu – Defensive-minded, decent dribbling, but lacks firepower.

C Tier – For Fun or Niche Roles

Interesting picks but not recommended for competitive play.

Igaguri – Limited move set, mostly basic tackles.
Chigiri – Speed-focused style suited for defensive or GK roles, but lacks scoring capability.
