I’ve been playing Blue Lock Rivals since its early days, and let me tell you – the Kurona unvaulting update has completely shaken up the meta! As someone who’s spent countless hours mastering every style in this game, I’m excited to share everything you need to know about this game-changing Epic style that’s taking the community by storm.
Kurona Style is an Epic rarity character style based on Ranze Kurona, the talented right winger from Germany’s national team Bastard München in the Blue Lock anime series. This style has been vaulted for quite some time, but with the recent unvaulting update, it’s back with a complete rework that makes it arguably the best Epic style in the game right now.
What makes Kurona special is its team-focused playstyle that emphasizes quick passing, ball retention, and coordinated attacks. Unlike selfish styles that focus on individual skill, Kurona excels at creating opportunities through teamwork – exactly what the Blue Lock project is all about!
After spending dozens of hours with the reworked Kurona, I can honestly say it’s become my go-to style for competitive matches. The versatility is incredible – you can play aggressive offense, solid defense, or set up your teammates for easy goals. What really sold me was the One-Two ability – there’s nothing more satisfying than pulling off a perfect one-two pass that leaves defenders completely confused.
The rework has addressed many of the old issues too. The new animations are slick, the abilities are more responsive, and the Planet Hotline awakening is absolutely devastating when used correctly. Plus, at Epic rarity, it’s accessible enough that most players can unlock it without breaking the bank.
Getting Kurona isn’t complicated, but you need to know the right approach to maximize your chances:
Kurona is obtained through the Style gacha system in Blue Lock Rivals. Here’s what you need to know:
Here are all the methods I’ve found to get spins efficiently:
Important: The Kurona unvaulting is time-limited! You have until January 24th-25th (depending on your timezone) to unlock this style. Don’t wait too long or you’ll miss out!
Let me break down every ability in Kurona’s kit, from basic moves to advanced techniques:
This is where Kurona really shines! Here are the advanced techniques I’ve mastered:
When near the goalkeeper, use One-Two to distract them while you and your teammate pass back and forth. This creates openings for easy goals that keepers can’t predict.
Instead of returning the pass to Kurona, have your teammate shoot directly at the goal. Goalkeepers get confused about who’s shooting, leading to easy saves being beaten.
As you’re about to receive One-Two, hold the kick button for an instant volley. This catches goalkeepers completely off guard and is nearly impossible to save.
Immediately after receiving One-Two, spam the kick button to cancel the pass-back mechanic. This keeps the ball in your possession when you need to maintain control.
When two players both use Kurona, the One-Two ability can cause the ball to teleport between them from any distance. This can lead to insane goal opportunities, but be careful – it can also cause the ball to glitch out!
There’s a current bug where hitting someone with Shark Steal when they don’t have the ball prevents them from picking it up for a few seconds. Use this strategically to control space.
After extensive testing, here’s how Kurona stacks up:
Kurona sits firmly in A+ tier overall, and S tier for Epic styles. It can compete with many Legendary styles when used correctly, especially in coordinated teams.
The unvaulting update brought significant improvements:
Here are the current working codes for Kurona unvaulting:
Note: Codes expire quickly, so use them ASAP!
You have until January 24th-25th, 2025, depending on your timezone. After that, Kurona gets vaulted again!
No! Lucky Spins only grant Legendary+ styles. Use regular Spins only for Kurona.
Absolutely! At Epic rarity with S-tier potential, Kurona offers incredible value, especially for team players.
Save it for when you’re within 20 meters of a teammate with the ball. The half-court scoring potential is game-changing.
The Planet Hotline awakening is bugged for some players. The developers are aware and working on fixes. In the meantime, focus on mastering the base abilities.
Yes! If you specifically want Kurona, target spinning in the Epic tab with Kurona selected gives you the best odds.
After spending weeks with the reworked Kurona, I can confidently say this is one of the best values in Blue Lock Rivals right now. Whether you’re a competitive player looking to climb ranks or someone who enjoys coordinated teamwork, Kurona delivers on all fronts.
The time-limited nature of this unvaulting makes it even more valuable – this isn’t a style you can get anytime you want. If you’re even considering it, I’d recommend going for it now rather than regretting missing out later.
Remember, Kurona rewards teamwork and strategy over individual skill. Find some reliable teammates, practice those One-Two passes, and you’ll be dominating matches in no time. The current meta favors coordinated play, and Kurona is perfectly positioned to take advantage of that.
What are you waiting for? Get those spins, unlock Kurona, and show everyone what teamwork can really accomplish in Blue Lock Rivals!
