The latest update in Blue Lock Rivals has finally dropped, and it’s all about teamwork, combos, and that much-awaited Chemical Reaction system. If you’ve been grinding for the best formations or experimenting with player synergy, now’s the time to take it to the next level. Here’s everything you need to know about the new Chemical Reaction update, including updated combos, changes, codes, and new cosmetics.
What Is the Chemical Reaction System?
The Chemical Reaction feature allows players to activate special synergy-based plays when receiving a pass from specific teammates. When the reaction triggers, a button will pop up in-game — hit it, and you’ll activate a unique combo animation or boost. This mechanic adds more depth to team strategy, and the latest update expands the pairings available.
New Chemical Reaction Combos
- NEL Isagi + Kaiser
- NEL Nagi + NEL Reo
These pairings bring in synergy from the Neo Egoist League and now come with their own exclusive Chemical Reaction animations and buffs. These are ideal pairings for players who rely on coordinated attacks and strategic pass plays.
Updated Chemical Reactions
- Hiori + Isagi — Adjusted for better in-game synergy.
- Sae + Shidou — Now upgraded for smoother reaction triggers and improved effects.
Removed Chemical Reaction
- Bachira + Otoya This pairing has been removed from the current Chemical Reaction lineup. No official word on whether it will return later.
