Brazilian flair has finally landed in Blue Lock: Rivals—Lavinho, the dazzling dancer, is officially here. Fans have been waiting for his arrival, and this update delivers a mix of new moves, flashy awakenings, and some extra surprises that make the pitch feel more alive than ever.
So, what’s on the table? First of all, Lavinho delivers his own Master Class style along with the great Butterfly Dancer flow. It suits his wild, beat-driven way of playing. His gear comes full of skill-heavy dribbling tricks: Rising Dance sets off his well-known rainbow flick, and Butterfly Dribble makes defenders spin with a back and forth run. If you use Ginga Style right, you could set off the strong Ginga Shot, a bent hit that is sure to shine.
It doesn’t stop there. Lavinho’s Awakening brings new animations, with a 25% chance of unlocking a hidden cutscene variant—a neat detail for those who love surprises. Among the new awakening skills is the flashy Butterfly Dance, a cinematic back-heel goal that lets you choose how the play unfolds. There’s also Butterfly Intercept for those clutch defensive reads, and Tiki Taka, a passing system that speeds up your play.
On top of Lavinho’s skills, the update also introduces fresh cosmetics in the limited shop: the Butterfly Goal Effect, a Shaka Emote, Butterfly Wings, and a sleek Butterfly Player Card. Plus, don’t forget the Lavinho Bundle and Brazil Bundle if you’re going all-in on the theme.
And yes, before you ask—there are new codes waiting to be redeemed. Perfect timing to stock up and try out Lavinho’s full kit.
This update feels like a love letter to the flashier side of football, and honestly, it makes me want to hop back in and try out those curved Ginga Shots myself. What about you? Have you tested Lavinho yet? Drop your thoughts and strategies in the comments—I’m curious to hear how others are pulling off those Butterfly plays.
