Blue Lock Rivals Nel Rin Update Guide – Abilities, New Codes
NEL Rin Style Overview
The style has officially been upgraded from Mythic to World Class, and with that comes a full transformation of Rin’s playstyle. His new form is now called NEL Rin, and players who previously owned the mythical version will receive the world class version automatically.
New Style Passive:
Curve shots can now be used even in base form, making NEL Rin more dangerous from the moment he steps onto the field.
Base Skills (Unawakened)
Here’s a breakdown of NEL Rin’s core abilities before awakening:
Destroyer Domain
Key: C
Off the Ball: Activates an energy bubble that follows the user. If an opponent enters with the ball, it is instantly stolen. If they enter without the ball, you gain a temporary speed boost.
On the Ball: Automatically dodges any opponent who steps inside the domain, allowing smooth dribbles past defenders.
Destruction Shot (Secondary Ability)
Key: C
Fires an incredibly fast curve shot that’s difficult to block or intercept, ideal for catching goalkeepers off guard.
Occlusion Break
Key: V
A swift, fluid dribbling sequence that helps you break through multiple defenders with style and control.
Destructive Charge
Key: V
A high-speed tackle that can be used off the ball to steal possession. It also stuns and ragdolls the opponent, giving you the edge in tight matchups.
Annihilate
Key: B
A powerful curve shot that’s both fast and visually stunning. It’s a strong finisher after a dribble sequence or during a breakaway.
Awakening Mode – U-20 Inspired NEL Rin
NEL Rin’s awakening has been revamped with new models, upgraded VFX and SFX, and a brand-new U-20 themed cutscene. Once awakened, he gains access to three special cinematic abilities:
A New Toy
Key: C
Off the Ball
A cinematic steal move where NEL Rin intercepts the ball in style. Functions similarly to Yo Michael’s Shadow Steal, but with even more flair.
Destructive Crash Shot
Condition: On the Ball
NEL kicks the ball forward, charges toward it, and executes a mid-air shot while clashing with a defender. It’s dramatic and deadly—perfect for highlight goals.
DIE
Key: B
NEL sets up for a shot, but just before the strike, an opponent tries to stop him. In a bold cutscene, he grabs the opponent’s hair and fires a devastating curve shot into the goal. One of the most intense and stylish moves in the game.
Flow Rework – Destructive Impulses
Rin’s flow, formerly known as Prodigy, has been reworked and upgraded to Destructive Impulses (now World Class rarity). This flow brings new visuals, enhanced effects, and some of the best passive stats in the game.
