The latest Blue Lock: Rivals update introduces NEL evolutions for Nagi and Isagi, a brand new NEL Wheel reward system, several cosmetics, bundles, and a big system change with the removal of the Generational class. Along with that, new subtitles, bug fixes, and redeemable codes were also added.
If you’re logging in after the update, here’s a full breakdown of what changed and what you should focus on first.
Blue Lock Rivals NEL Nagi + NEL Isagi EVO Update Guide
The highlight of the update is the addition of NEL evolutions for two popular styles:
- NEL Nagi
- NEL Isagi
These evolutions are part of a new NEL questline that allows players to progress and unlock upgraded versions of these characters.
However, an important detail is that these styles have not been fully reworked yet. The developers added them mainly to support the system change caused by the removal of the Generational class.
A full rework for both styles is planned in a future update, which means their abilities and gameplay mechanics may change later.
For now, the evolutions mainly serve as a progression upgrade tied to the NEL system.
NEL Questline
To obtain the evolutions, players must complete the NEL questline.
This questline revolves around progressing through NEL-related objectives and unlocking rewards tied to the new system.
Although the exact steps can vary depending on player progress, the general process includes:
- Completing NEL challenges
- Progressing through the quest objectives
- Unlocking the evolved styles
Finishing the questline gives players access to the new NEL style versions.
NEL Wheel Rewards
A new reward system called the NEL Wheel was also added.
Players can spin the wheel to obtain several possible rewards.
Possible rewards include:
- Blue Skull Aura
- Metavision Eye Ball
- 10 Lucky Spins
- 5,000 Yen
- 3 Lucky Spins
The wheel acts as an additional way to obtain cosmetics and resources while progressing through the update content.
Generational Class Removed
One of the biggest system changes in this update is the removal of the Generational class.
Instead of existing as a separate rarity, Generational styles have now been moved into the World Class tier.
Because of this change:
- Overall style luck has increased
- Rolling for high-tier styles becomes slightly easier
The developers also hinted that the removal of the Generational class is meant to make space for something new in future updates.
New Subtitles
The update replaces the previous subtitle system with a new one.
The new subtitles are designed to be more visually appealing and stylish, giving players better looking dialogue captions during gameplay.
This change is mostly cosmetic but improves the overall presentation of the game.
New Bundles
Two new bundles were added to the shop.
Nagi Bundle
A themed bundle focused on Nagi-related cosmetics and items.
Isagi Bundle
Another bundle themed around Isagi content.
Bundles usually include cosmetic items, spins, or bonuses tied to the featured character.
Limited Shop Items
The limited shop now includes several new cosmetics.
Available items include:
- Puzzle Tower Goal Effect
- Skull King Playercard
- Lock In Emote
- Half Skull Cosmetic
These items are primarily cosmetic and allow players to customize their profile, animations, and visual effects.
New Codes
Three new codes were released with the update.
| Code | Reward |
|---|---|
| RIPGENERATIONAL | 10 Lucky Style Spins |
| ISAGOEVOLUTION | 5 Lucky Style Spins |
| NAGIEVOLUTION | 5 Lucky Flow Spins |
Redeeming these codes is recommended immediately since they provide useful spins for unlocking new styles.
If you’re just logging in after the update, a good progression order would be:
- Redeem the new codes
- Start the NEL questline
- Work toward NEL Nagi or NEL Isagi evolution
- Use spins from codes and NEL Wheel rewards
- Check the limited shop items
Because the Generational class was removed, this is also a good time to roll for new styles while the improved luck system is active.
This update mainly prepares the game for larger changes in the future. The addition of NEL evolutions, the NEL Wheel, and the Generational class removal signals that the developers are restructuring how styles and rarities work.
While the Nagi and Isagi evolutions haven’t been fully reworked yet, they are expected to receive significant improvements in upcoming updates.
In the meantime, completing the NEL questline and using the new spins from codes is the best way to take advantage of the update.
