The Blue Lock Rivals Reo Rework Update arrives as one of the most exciting patches for July 2025, overhauling Reo Mikage into the Master of All Trades. With a dual-mode system, Mythic Flow, a new awakening system, and limited-time codes and cosmetics, this update gives every player a reason to dive back in and experiment with Reo’s versatile toolkit.
Reo Master of All Trades: Dual Mode System
This update transforms Reo Mikage with a true “Master of All Trades” playstyle. Reo now has two switchable modes—Defense Mode and Strike Mode—each with its own skills, passives, and awakening paths. To change modes, simply press the Switch Mode (B) button at any time, allowing you to adapt instantly to your team’s needs.
Defense Mode specializes in tackling, intercepting, and making pinpoint passes. Skills like Camouflage (temporary invisibility and steal), Chameleon Defense (deflecting air balls), and Long Pass (auto-tracking passes) set you up as a defensive anchor. Strike Mode, on the other hand, lets you dominate with dribble moves, ankle breaks, and powerful shots such as the Cross Elastico Nutmeg and Trivela Shot.
Awakening System & Mythic Flow Master of All Trades
The new awakening system is at the core of Reo’s rework. Now, activate Awakening in your current mode to unlock unique cutscenes and skills. In Defense Mode, you’ll gain powerful abilities like Master Copy (copying your opponent’s awakening skill), Neo Snake Redirect, and enhanced passing and tackle tools. Strike Mode’s awakening features exclusive moves such as Neo Dragon Drive (a dramatic midair shot) and Neo Gyro Shot, along with improved dribbling and finishing skills.
The Flow “Chameleon” is now reworked and renamed as Master of All Trades, upgraded to Mythic rarity. This flow grants significant buffs: 30% skill cooldown reduction, +1 dribble, faster movement and stamina regen, and stronger, auto-tracking passes and shots. The hitbox for ankle break moves is also increased, making Reo deadlier on offense.
How to Use Reo’s Master Copy and Switch Modes
To copy enemy awakening skills, use the Master Copy (C) skill during awakening. This allows for unexpected counterplays and opens up creative strategies. Remember, each mode has its own Master Copy options and awakening cutscenes. Practice switching modes on the fly to maximize your presence in every situation.
Switch between Defense Mode and Strike Mode using the B button, adapting to your team’s offense or defense at any time.
