Rinnegan Bloodlines Guide, How to Get & Progress!
Unlocking the Rinnegan in Bloodlines is one of the most advanced genetic paths in the game. It is not something you randomly obtain. You must combine specific DNA requirements and then wait for the right moment during age progression. If you are aiming for Rinnegan, this guide explains everything clearly: how to get the required DNA, how aging works, what version you may unlock, and what to expect from its abilities.
Requirements to Unlock Rinnegan
To awaken the Rinnegan, you must combine two bloodline DNAs:
- Senju DNA
- Uchiha DNA (with Mangekyō Sharingan active)
Once both are present in your character, you gain a chance to unlock Rinnegan when you age up.
How to Get Senju DNA
There are two ways:
- Be born as a Senju.
- Steal a Senju arm from another player and implant it.
If you are not Senju by birth, you must defeat or scabble a Senju player, take their arm, and implant it into your character. After implantation, you will gain Senju DNA.
How to Get Uchiha DNA
To qualify for Rinnegan, you need Uchiha DNA with Mangekyō Sharingan unlocked.
That means:
- You must either be Uchiha with MS unlocked.
- Or obtain Uchiha DNA and progress it to Mangekyō.
Only having basic Sharingan is not enough. MS is required for the Rinnegan evolution chance.
The Aging Process (How You Actually Get Rinnegan)
Once you have both DNAs combined:
- Continue playing normally.
- Age up your character.
- Each age up gives a chance to awaken Rinnegan.
It does not unlock instantly. It is chance-based. Some players get it on the first age up after combining DNA, others may take longer. If you are already Senju, you only need Uchiha MS. If you are already Uchiha, you only need a Senju arm.
Which Rinnegan Do You Get?
The most common version is the Pain-style Rinnegan.
It provides:
- Almighty Push style abilities
- Solid damage output
- Strong 1v1 potential
However, compared to some Mangekyō Sharingan variants, many players feel certain MS builds are stronger overall in PvP.
For example:
- Some full Susanoo builds from MS are often considered stronger in combat.
- Sasuke-style Rinnegan is rarer and generally more desirable.
Still, Rinnegan offers unique abilities and strong utility, especially for players who prefer pressure and spacing tools.
Is Rinnegan Stronger Than Mangekyō?
This depends on your build and playstyle.
Some Mangekyō variants:
- Offer full Susanoo access
- Provide better sustained PvP pressure
- Have strong defensive options
Pain-style Rinnegan:
- Focuses more on control
- Works well in duels
- Has clean, simple skill usage
It may not always outperform top-tier MS builds, but it remains a powerful and prestigious evolution path.
Boss Fights and Progression Tips
While farming and progressing:
- Focus on S-Rank bosses for better experience.
- Be cautious, as S-Rank enemies hit hard and can punish mistakes.
- Learn boss attack patterns and perfect block when possible.
Some bosses are not worth farming for rewards compared to others. If your goal is money, consider fighting higher-value bosses instead of inefficient ones.
Before aging up, double-check:
- Your DNA slots are correct.
- Senju arm is properly implanted.
- Mangekyō is active.
Once everything is aligned, age up and check if Rinnegan awakens.
Getting Rinnegan in Bloodlines is about preparation, not luck alone. You must combine Senju DNA and Uchiha MS, then wait for the aging trigger to give you the evolution chance. While it may not always be the strongest PvP option compared to certain Mangekyō builds, it remains a powerful and respected bloodline path. If you enjoy balanced combat with strong control tools, Rinnegan is still a solid progression goal. Make sure your DNA setup is correct before aging, and be ready for multiple attempts if necessary. Once it unlocks, you gain access to one of the most iconic abilities in the Bloodlines progression system.
