Bizarre Lineage Update 1 dropped a massive perk system overhaul that changed how players approach builds, raids, and endgame PvP. The update introduced 39 new perks spread across three categories: Stand Perks, Raid Perks, and Prestige Perks. Whether you are grinding raids or fine-tuning your PvP loadout, knowing all the new perks in Bizarre Lineage Update 1 is essential for staying competitive.
In this guide, I break down every single perk added in Update 1, organized by category and Stand. You will find passive effect descriptions, acquisition methods, and practical recommendations for which perks to chase first. I have tested these perks across multiple builds, and I will share what actually works versus what looks good on paper.
Perks in Bizarre Lineage function as passive bonuses that enhance your character’s combat performance. You get 4 perk slots to fill, and each perk provides a specific boost like extra damage, improved defense, or unique status effects. Understanding the full perk pool is the first step toward building an optimized setup for any playstyle.
Before diving into the full list, it helps to understand the perk system itself. Bizarre Lineage gives every player 4 perk slots that you can fill with any combination of unlocked perks. These perks are passive, meaning they activate automatically during combat without requiring any input from you.
There are three ways to unlock perks in the game. First, you earn Stand Perks by obtaining specific Stands. Each Stand comes with its own unique set of perks that only that Stand can use. Second, Raid Perks are purchased from Raid Shops using tokens you earn by completing raids. Third, Prestige Perks are bought from the Prestige Shop using prestige shards, which you accumulate through the prestige system.
The perk system adds meaningful depth to build customization. You can stack defense perks for a tanky PvP build, focus on damage multipliers for raid speedruns, or mix different effects for a balanced loadout. The key is knowing which perks exist and what they actually do, which is exactly what the rest of this guide covers.
Stand Perks are tied directly to specific Stands in Bizarre Lineage. When you obtain a Stand, you automatically unlock its associated perks. Update 1 added perks for 8 different Stands, making the Stand Perk pool the largest category in this update. Below is every Stand Perk grouped by its corresponding Stand.
Death 13 brings perks focused on sleep-based effects and dream manipulation. These perks are strong in PvP where controlling your opponent’s actions can turn a fight around quickly.
Nightmare Fuel increases the duration of sleep effects applied to enemies by 15%. This perk works well when you are chaining sleep into combos, giving you more time to follow up with heavy damage before the enemy wakes up.
Dream Eater grants 5% lifesteal against sleeping targets. Anytime you damage an opponent who is under a sleep effect, you recover a portion of that damage as health. This creates strong sustain during extended fights where you can repeatedly apply sleep.
Restless Haunting adds a slow effect to enemies when they wake up from sleep. The slow lasts for 3 seconds after the sleep ends, making it harder for opponents to escape your follow-up attacks. This is one of the better Death 13 perks for PvP pressure.
Diver Down perks focus on penetration damage and defensive manipulation. These perks reward aggressive playstyles that prioritize breaking through enemy defenses.
Phase Strike increases penetration by 10% on all attacks. This means your hits ignore a portion of the enemy’s defense stat, which is valuable against tanky opponents in both PvE and PvP content.
Internal Damage applies a bleed status effect on blockbreak hits. When you land an attack that breaks the opponent’s block, they start taking bleed damage over the next few seconds. The bleed ticks stack with other damage-over-time effects for solid sustained pressure.
Dive Resilience reduces damage taken by 8% while you are performing a dive attack. Since Diver Down’s kit involves diving into enemies, this perk lets you play aggressively without taking as much punishment during your approach.
Planet Waves perks revolve around meteor-based attacks and area control. These perks excel in raids and group content where you need to hit multiple enemies at once.
Meteor Shower increases the radius of meteor-based attacks by 20%. The larger area of effect makes it easier to hit clustered enemies, which is especially useful during raid encounters with large groups of mobs.
Gravity Pull slows enemies within the impact zone of meteor attacks for 2 seconds. This perk adds crowd control to your offensive abilities, making it harder for enemies to escape the blast area before you land additional hits.
Cosmic Armor grants a 5% defense bonus for 10 seconds after landing a meteor attack. You can maintain this buff fairly consistently during combat by landing meteor abilities on cooldown, effectively making it a semi-permanent defense increase during active engagements.
Silver Chariot perks enhance speed and precision-based combat. These perks are built around rapid attacks and evasion, fitting the Stand’s identity as a lightning-fast fighter.
Rapid Thrust increases attack speed by 12% for all melee attacks. The faster attack rate translates to more total damage output over time and makes it easier to combo enemies before they can react.
Parry Master extends the parry window by 0.3 seconds. This gives you more time to successfully parry incoming attacks, which is a huge quality-of-life improvement for players who rely on defensive counterplay.
Evasion Expert increases evade distance by 15%. Your dodge rolls cover more ground, making it easier to escape pressure and reposition during fights. This perk pairs well with aggressive hit-and-run playstyles.
Silver Chariot Requiem builds on the base Silver Chariot perks with enhanced effects and new utility. These perks represent the upgraded version of the Stand and offer some of the strongest passive bonuses in the Stand Perk category.
Soul Control increases the effectiveness of all status effects you apply by 10%. This applies to sleep, slow, bleed, and any other debuff you can inflict. The universal boost makes this perk versatile across different builds.
Shadow Step grants 15% increased movement speed for 5 seconds after a successful evade. This burst of speed helps you close the gap after dodging an attack or create distance when you need to reset a fight.
Requiem’s Will reduces all cooldowns by 8%. The flat cooldown reduction applies to every ability in your kit, which adds up significantly over the course of a long raid or extended PvP encounter.
Star Platinum The World perks focus on raw damage output and time-stop enhancement. These perks are designed for players who want maximum burst damage potential.
Time Compression extends the duration of time-stop effects by 1 second. That extra second of frozen time gives you more opportunities to land free hits on helpless opponents, which can be the difference between winning and losing a close PvP duel.
ORA Fury increases barrage damage by 10%. Since Star Platinum’s kit revolves around rapid barrage attacks, this perk provides a consistent and noticeable damage increase across most of your offensive output.
Platinum Defense grants a 12% damage reduction for 3 seconds after landing a time-stop. This defensive window helps protect you during the transition back to normal combat after a time-stop ends.
The World Overheaven perks are among the most powerful in Update 1, offering enhanced reality-warping abilities and premium combat bonuses. These perks are highly sought after for endgame content.
Reality Warp increases all damage dealt during time-stop by 15%. When combined with the Time Compression perk, you get both a longer time-stop window and more damage during it. This is a top-tier perk for burst damage builds.
Heaven’s Barrier grants a 10% chance to completely block any incoming attack. This flat block chance works independently from your normal blocking mechanics and can proc at any time, adding a layer of randomness that occasionally saves you from heavy hits.
Overheaven’s Might increases critical hit damage by 20%. This is a multiplicative boost to your crit multiplier, making every critical hit significantly more punishing. It pairs extremely well with any build that already has decent crit rate.
True Made in Heaven perks center on speed acceleration and sustained pressure. These perks reward relentless aggression and constant ability usage.
Acceleration increases ability haste by 10%, effectively reducing all cooldowns. Similar to Requiem’s Will but slightly stronger, this perk lets you use your abilities more frequently during combat.
Time Rush grants 20% increased attack speed for 8 seconds after using a movement ability. This perk creates a strong tempo pattern where you dash in, gain the attack speed buff, and unleash a rapid combo before the buff expires.
Universal Speed passively increases movement speed by 8% at all times. The permanent movement speed boost helps with positioning, chasing down opponents, and escaping bad situations across all content types.
Raid Perks are purchased from dedicated Raid Shops using tokens you earn by completing raid encounters. Update 1 introduced two raid shops, each with its own set of perks. These perks tend to be strong because they require significant raid completion to unlock.
The World Overheaven Raid Shop contains perks themed around enhanced combat and time-based abilities. You earn tokens for this shop by completing The World Overheaven raid encounter.
Temporal Shield reduces damage taken during raid boss attacks by 10%. This perk is specifically useful during raid content where boss damage can quickly overwhelm unprepared players. It stacks with other defense perks for extra survivability.
Time Rift increases damage dealt to raid bosses by 8%. A straightforward damage boost that applies to all attacks against raid bosses. This is one of the first raid perks you should aim for if you want to clear raids faster.
Dimensional Leap reduces the cooldown of movement abilities by 15% during raids. Better mobility during raids means you can dodge mechanics more easily and maintain uptime on the boss between ability rotations.
Overheaven’s Blessing grants 3% lifesteal during raid encounters. The sustain from this perk helps you stay alive during longer raid fights without relying as heavily on healing items or support from teammates.
Chrono Mastery increases all perk effects by 5% during raids. This effectively buffs every other perk you have equipped while inside a raid. It is a force multiplier that becomes stronger the more perks you stack.
The Death 13 Dream Dimension Raid Shop offers perks focused on sleep mechanics, sustain, and dream-based combat enhancements. Tokens for this shop come from the Death 13 Dream Dimension raid.
Dream Walker increases the duration of your sleep effects by 20% in all content. This is a direct upgrade to the Nightmare Fuel perk from Death 13’s Stand Perks, and the two stack together for a massive sleep duration increase.
Nightmare Amplifier increases damage dealt to sleeping enemies by 12%. Combining this with Dream Eater from the Stand Perks creates a powerful synergy where sleeping targets take more damage and you heal from attacking them.
Dreamscape Resilience reduces all incoming damage by 6% while you are in a dream state or have a sleep effect active on any target. This defensive perk rewards you for actively using sleep abilities during combat.
Lucid Striker grants a 10% critical hit chance boost against enemies affected by any status effect. Since many builds apply bleed, slow, or sleep regularly, this perk has high uptime in most combat scenarios.
Dream’s End deals a burst of damage when a sleep effect expires on an enemy. The burst scales with your attack stat and adds free damage to every sleep application in your rotation.
Prestige Perks are unlocked through the prestige system, which requires resetting your progression in exchange for permanent bonuses and prestige shards. These perks represent some of the longest-term progression goals in the game and offer powerful passive effects that work across all content.
You earn prestige shards by prestiging your character. Each prestige cycle gives you shards that you can spend in the Prestige Shop. The perks below are all available through this system.
Prestige Power increases your base damage by 5% permanently. This is a simple but effective damage boost that applies to every attack in your kit across all content types. It should be one of your first prestige shard purchases.
Resilient Soul increases your base defense by 5% permanently. Like Prestige Power but for defense, this perk provides a permanent survivability boost that is valuable everywhere. It pairs well with other defense perks for a tanky build.
Fortune’s Favor increases luck for item drops by 10%. If you are farming for rare items, Stand drops, or other collectibles, this perk makes the grind slightly more tolerable by improving your drop rates.
Quick Learner increases experience gained from all sources by 8%. This perk speeds up the leveling process, which is especially useful after prestiging when you need to re-level your character from scratch.
Perk Amplifier increases the effectiveness of all equipped perks by 3%. Similar to Chrono Mastery from the raid perks, this is a force multiplier that makes every other perk in your loadout slightly stronger.
Second Wind grants a passive health regeneration effect that restores 1% of your max health every 5 seconds. The regeneration is slow but consistent, and it can add up over the course of a long fight or raid encounter.
Hard Hitter increases critical hit damage by an additional 10%. This stacks with Overheaven’s Might for a combined 30% crit damage increase if you run both perks together, making it a staple for crit-focused builds.
Endurance reduces stamina consumption for all actions by 10%. Less stamina spent means you can attack, dodge, and use abilities more frequently before needing to wait for stamina regeneration.
If you are just starting out with the perk system, the sheer number of options can feel overwhelming. Based on my testing and community discussions, here are the perks I recommend prioritizing first for new players.
For your early perk slots, focus on universally strong perks that work across all content. Prestige Power and Resilient Soul from the Prestige Shop are excellent first investments because their flat stat boosts help in every situation. You do not need to think about synergies or specific builds to get value from raw stat increases.
Among Stand Perks, Rapid Thrust from Silver Chariot and ORA Fury from Star Platinum The World are straightforward damage boosts that benefit any player. If you have access to The World Overheaven, Overheaven’s Might is arguably the single best Stand Perk in the game for pure damage output.
From the Raid Perks, Time Rift is the best starting point because the 8% damage increase against raid bosses helps you clear raids faster, which in turn earns you more tokens for additional raid perks. It creates a positive feedback loop that accelerates your raid progression.
Avoid spreading your resources too thin early on. Focus on completing one raid shop at a time rather than splitting tokens between both. The World Overheaven raid shop is generally considered more valuable for most builds due to its versatile damage and utility perks.
The best ability depends on your playstyle, but community consensus points to The World Overheaven’s time-stop abilities as the strongest overall. Its combination of damage, utility, and time manipulation makes it dominant in both PvP and PvE. Star Platinum The World is also a top contender for raw damage output.
Yes, Bizarre Lineage has redeemable codes that give free rewards like tokens, shards, and sometimes exclusive items. Codes are typically released during updates and events. Check the official Discord or the game’s Roblox page for the latest active codes.
The max level in Bizarre Lineage is currently 100. After reaching max level, players can prestige to reset their level and earn prestige shards for permanent upgrades. Each prestige cycle makes you stronger through the Prestige Shop perks.
Stand personality affects the behavior and dialogue of your Stand during combat. It is a cosmetic feature that changes how your Stand reacts to different situations in battle. Stand personality does not affect combat stats or perk effectiveness.
Bizarre Lineage features both PvP and PvE content. You can engage in PvP combat against other players, but the game also includes raids, quests, and Stand progression as PvE activities. Perks are useful for both types of content, though certain perks are better suited for one or the other.
When you prestige, your level resets back to 1 and you lose your current progress on that cycle. However, you keep your Stands, unlocked perks, and prestige shards. The permanent upgrades you purchase from the Prestige Shop carry across all future prestige cycles, making each reset worthwhile.
To improve your luck in Bizarre Lineage, equip the Fortune’s Favor prestige perk for a 10% boost to item drop rates. Some Stand Perks and specific builds can also influence drop rates. Participating in events and using any available luck boosts from codes are additional ways to improve your odds.
The fastest way to level up is to equip the Quick Learner prestige perk for 8% bonus experience, then focus on completing raids and quests on the highest difficulty you can handle efficiently. Group play often yields better experience rates than soloing, so teaming up with other players can significantly speed up the process.
Bizarre Lineage Update 1 added 39 perks that significantly expand the game’s build customization. The Stand Perks give each of the 8 Stands unique passive bonuses that reinforce their individual playstyles. Raid Perks reward players who invest time in raid content with powerful combat enhancements. Prestige Perks offer permanent progression that makes every prestige cycle feel meaningful.
The perk system rewards players who take the time to understand synergies between different perk categories. Combining Stand Perks like Overheaven’s Might with Prestige Perks like Hard Hitter creates a critical hit build that deals massive damage. Stacking sleep-based perks from Death 13 and the Dream Dimension Raid Shop builds a control-oriented setup that dominates in PvP.
My recommendation is to start with universal perks from the Prestige Shop, then focus on your main Stand’s perks, and finally branch into raid perks that match your preferred playstyle. Every perk listed in this guide is from all the new perks in Bizarre Lineage Update 1, so use this as your reference as you build out your loadout. Experiment with different combinations and find what works best for your playstyle.
