Breaking down the Shidou Revamp in Blue Lock Rivals

The Shidou revamp, which was implemented into the game with the latest update, introduces a few small changes to the Style’s moveset. As far as gameplay goes, the moveset has been left untouched, so your moment-to-moment gameplay will not change much. Dragon Drive and Dragon Header are functionally identical to their pre-revamp counterparts.

You can enter the Awakening mode by filling up the gauge and pressing G, activating a short cinematic indicating the same. In this state, you will be primed and ready to aim and shoot for the goal from as far as the midfield with the ultimate move, Big Bang Drive.

The rework primarily addresses Big Bang Drive, touching up the activation animations slightly. The cutscene that triggers upon activating the move doesn’t last as long and certain shots have been reframed slightly to match its new pace. A few lines of dialogue have also been removed to improve the flow of the cinematic.

About the Shidou Style

In-game titles (Image via Roblox)

Shidou is a Mythic Style that can be obtained through Spins. Because of the rarity, Mythic Styles only have a cumulative 0.5% chance to drop through regular rolls, which increases to 5% with Lucky Spins. In total, there are five Mythic Styles, which makes Shidou’s drop rate 0.1% with regular Spins and 1% with Lucky rolls.

This Style is best used in forward positions, where its skills can be used to score goals. All three of its moves perform some variation of shooting the ball in the desired direction at high speeds. You can use Dragon Drive for an aerial drive towards the target, while Dragon Header is best suited for short-range shots.

Once the Awakening mode gauge is filled, you can Awaken if the ball is in your possession. Upon activation, you get access to Big Bang Drive, a powerful shot made with a bicycle kick that shoots straight in the desired direction.
