Blue Lock Rivals Aiku rework: All new skills explained

Aiku is a Mythic Style that recently underwent a revamp in Blue Lock Rivals. This Style draws its inspiration from Oliver Aiku, the renowned center-back from the Blue Lock anime/manga series. It specializes in defense and allows the user to tap into more than five different abilities in the soccer experience.

Aiku can be obtained from the Styles gacha. When using Normal Spins, you have a 1:5 chance of obtaining it from the other Mythic Styles, which overall have a drop rate of 0.5%. The drop chances increase to 5% when utilizing Lucky Spins. Aiku is incredibly useful, even more so when paired with the Snake Flow.

This guide presents the details about the revamped Aiku Style and Snake Flow in Blue Lock Rivals.

Blue Lock Rivals Aiku Style skillset

The revamped Aiku has several abilities in Blue Lock Rivals. The Ambush and Periscope skills are interchangeable, possessing overall two charges, with the former being the ground version and the latter being the air version. Additionally, the Aiku Style gives a unique V-key skill that changes when the user is inside their team's penalty arc.

Here is an explanation of all the revamped Aiku skills in Blue Lock Rivals:

• Ambush (C key) [Ground] - This is a Steal Skill. The user slithers toward the opponent before pouncing and stealing the ball. However, if the opponent dribbles the moment the user tries to steal the ball, they get Ankle Broken.
• Periscope (C key) [Air] - This is a Trap Skill. The user leaps into the air to trap the ball, while leaving a serpentine animation trail. They get down on the ground slowly.
• Snake Shot (V key) - This is a Shooting Skill. The user shoots the ball and causes it to slither and curve like a serpent.
• Sixth Sense (V key) [Inside the goal box] - The user creates a barrier that covers the entire goal box of their team. It is only visible to them, whereas opponents can only witness them activating the skill. The barrier allows the user to block, redirect, or steal balls.
• Territory (B key) [Inside the goal box] - This is a Steal Skill with two charges, only available within the goal box of the user's team. The skill helps automatically redirect a loose ball or steal it from the opponent the moment they enter the zone.

Aiku's reworked Awakening, activated by pressing the G key, triggers a cutscene featuring three roaring serpents coiling around the user. It modifies the user's entire skillset in this Roblox game:

• Cobra (C key) - This is a Steal Skill. A snake coils around the opponent in a cutscene, after which the user can take the ball from them.
• Basilisk (V key) - This is a Redirection Skill. A cutscene features the user jumping into the air while being accompanied by a large snake. With the skill, they can redirect all loose balls.
• Viper (B key) - This is a Shooting Skill. The user shoots the ball with tremendous force toward the opponent's goal. This skill also has a special cutscene.

The Viper skill can let you score goals despite being halfway on the field. Thus, Aiku's revamped Awakening is tailored for offense while its usual skills are suited to steals and blocks.
