In Blue Lock: Rivals, achieving success on the field depends not only on styles and characters, but also on how well you use the Flow system. Flows are powerful, temporary boosts that can swing the momentum of a match—granting stat increases such as enhanced shot power, dribble chains, tackle efficiency, or stamina regeneration. Choosing the right Flow for your role and style is essential if you want to dominate play.
This article gives complete tier list of all Flows in the current meta, along with practical guidance so you can make informed, match-winning decisions.
How Flows Work
Flows are mid-match power-ups that activate once your Flow bar is filled. Triggering a Flow grants short-term boosts based on its traits—ranging from shot speed to ankle-breaking effects. While some Flows favor dribblers, others work better for defenders or strikers. Flows can be rolled from the lobby using in-game currency or Flow Spins.
You can activate a Flow in-match by pressing T (on PC). Spins cost 2,000 cash or one Flow Spin. Flows can also be stored if you’ve unlocked additional slots.
Flow Rarities and Pull Odds
Flow rarity determines both its strength and the chance of acquiring it. Below are the pull rates for top-tier Flows:
| Flow | Rarity | Standard Pull Rate | Lucky Spin Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Destructive Impulses | Mythic | 1.3% | 2.5% |
| Awakened Genius | Legendary | 3.5% | 7.0% |
| Soul Harvester | World Class | 0.5% | 1.0% |
| Bee Freestyle | Mythic | 1.5% | 3.0% |
Other rarities include:
- Rare: 62.5%
- Epic: 30%
- Legendary: 7%
- Mythic: 0.5%
- World Class: 0.25%
S+ Tier – Meta-Defining Flows
These Flows provide unmatched value in nearly every role. If you pull one, build your lineup around it.
Destructive Impulses
- Currently the strongest Flow in the game. Increases shot power, applies a sharper curve, reduces cooldowns, enhances steals, and enlarges hitboxes. It’s dominant on both ends of the pitch.
Awakened Genius
- Grants two dribbles, boosts shot power, and fills 20% of all teammates’ Flow bars. Excellent for playmakers and coordinated teams.
Soul Harvester
- Reduces all ability cooldowns by 10%, increases movement speed, and adds one extra dribble and header. Versatile and effective in any position—though it’s rare.
Bee Freestyle
- Now regarded as the best dribbling Flow. Offers four chained dribbles, movement speed boosts, ankle-break duration, and reduced cooldowns. It overtakes Dribbler in competitive rankings.
Prodigy
- Still one of the most versatile offensive Flows. Increases speed, shot power, and adds curve to basic shots—giving Rin-style benefits to other builds. Was previously the best Flow before Destructive Impulses.
S Tier – Powerful and Consistent
These Flows are not as overwhelming as S+, but still highly effective.
Emperor
- Boosts shot strength, movement speed, and reduces cooldowns. Extremely effective for egoist strikers or midfielders. Pairs well with Kaiser.
Demon Wings
- Improves header power, jump height, and shot release. Especially lethal when used with Shidou for aerial dominance.
Buddha’s Blessing
- Balanced buffs to movement and shooting power, plus a 25% passive ankle-break chance when not dribbling. Often seen with Igaguri builds.
A Tier – Strong but Situational
These Flows shine under certain conditions or when matched with specific styles.
Chameleon
- Reduces move cooldowns by 25% and increases speed. Great for styles that rely on ability spam or awakening chains. Ideal with Reo.
Dribbler
- Previously top-tier, now outclassed by Bee Freestyle. Still useful for cut-ins and on-ball speed boosts but less flexible overall.
Wild Card
- Grants one of three buffs—speed, strength, or stamina. Rarely, all three activate at once, making this Flow a high-risk, high-reward option.
B Tier – Balanced or Role-Specific
Not ideal for all builds, but still serviceable depending on your team comp.
Snake
- Increases tackle range and speed, reduces cooldowns, and shortens ragdoll time. Solid defensive Flow for midfield disruption.
Crow
- Boosts shooting strength and tackle speed. A decent all-rounder for central players, particularly CFs.
Trap
- Grants buffs after receiving a pass—speed, shot power, and Nagi-style cooldown reductions. Strong only in very specific setups.
Gale Burst
- Once considered top-tier, now slightly outclassed. Still offers stamina regeneration and faster shot release, but struggles in high-speed matchups.
C Tier – Underwhelming Buffs
These Flows offer minimal advantage or are outclassed by higher-tier options.
King’s Instinct
- Increases shot power and knockdown time for dribbled opponents. Limited utility beyond close-range finishes.
Puzzle
- Boosts speed, but nothing else. Works as a starter Flow but quickly becomes obsolete.
Lightning
- Only adds shot power, with no added effects or synergy potential.
Ice
- Boosts pass strength, adds slight tracking, and increases the receiver’s shot power. Mostly support-oriented, but low value in 4v4 matches.
Genius
- Fills teammates’ Flow bars by 30%. While useful in team formats, the user gains no direct advantage. Largely passive in current meta.
D Tier – Poor Performance or High Risk
Generally considered not worth equipping unless you’re experimenting.
Monster
- Removes speed penalties while dribbling and shortens cooldowns. However, its effectiveness drops once possession is lost. Requires high skill and team dependency.
Style-Flow Synergy Highlights
- Bee Freestyle + Bachira – unmatched dribbling pressure.
- Demon Wings + Shidou – aerial dominance through jump and header buffs.
- Emperor + Kaiser – pure striker aggression.
- Soul Harvester + Don Lorenzo – allows flexible offense and defense.
- Chameleon + Reo – ideal for cooldown-centric playstyles.
While the tier list reflects the current best-performing Flows, the Blue Lock: Rivals meta is constantly shifting. Upcoming balance patches, style changes, or new Flow introductions may reconfigure rankings. Prioritize S+ and S-tier Flows if possible, but don’t hesitate to experiment with A or B tiers that match your playstyle.
Players aiming to master this system should always consider both Flow power and compatibility with their roster.
By choosing wisely, rerolling strategically, and watching synergy patterns, you’ll not only win more matches—you’ll play like a true egoist.
