If you just launched Blue Lock Rivals and thought, Wait, how do I play this? you’re in the right place.

This is not your typical football game. It’s part card-based strategy, part character builder, and 100% inspired by the anime Blue Lock. Whether you’re on PC, mobile, console, or just trying to figure out how to use your favorite characters like Nagi or Bachira, this guide will walk you through everything.

Blue Lock Rivals is a tactical football simulation game on Roblox based on the hit anime Blue Lock. It’s not about button-mashing or running with the ball yourself. Instead, you build a team of anime footballers, equip them with special Flows and Traits, and watch them make plays based on your decisions.

Start by selecting characters from your roster. You need:

• 1 Goalkeeper
• 2 Midfielders
• 2 Forwards

Characters like Isagi, Nagi, Bachira, and Rin all have different strengths and personality types that impact match performance.

• Forwards (FW): These are your strikers. Go for power, finishing, and aggressive Flows.
• Midfielders (MF): Midfielders create plays. Focus on passing, vision, and positioning.
• Goalkeeper (GK): Often overlooked, but a solid GK can save you games. Choose one with strong reflexes and defense-oriented Traits.

• Players move automatically based on their stats.
• You choose when to pass, shoot, or activate a Trait/Flow.
• Decision timing affects the success of each move.

You’re not controlling the player, you’re making critical in-game decisions.

• Overdrive: Boosts your shot power
• Conductor: Improves pass success
• Kaiser Impact: Insane goal finisher

• Sharp Shooter
• Speedster
• Iron Wall (for goalkeepers)

Winning matches gets you XP. This unlocks:

• Ranked mode
• Redeemable codes
• Higher-tier Flows
• Access to premium characters
