The BLUE LOCK PWC Training Guide explains how to build stronger Training formations, choose the right stats, select support players, and use Support Cards effectively. Learn current Kick, Speed, Physical, Technical, and Intelligence setups, the most valuable Training Abilities, FLOW mechanics, and how to improve every Training run.
A Training formation is not simply a list of your strongest characters.
You normally build around:
The player being trained
Support players
Special Support Cards
EX Support
An Advisor
Support equipment when available
Skill Connect combinations
Training menu cards and their associated effects
Every piece should contribute toward the stat profile or skill package you want.
The current high-end Training recommendations specifically prioritize strong Training Abilities, compatible Training menu cards, combo effects, and Special Support Cards rather than raw rarity alone.
Before selecting support players, inspect the character you want to train.
Characters have different growth rates, meaning some stats naturally scale more efficiently than others. Current Training guidance recommends concentrating your formation around the stats where the character already has strong growth rather than forcing an unrelated build.
For example, if a player has excellent Kick growth and offensive Training Abilities, a Kick-heavy formation normally makes more sense than trying to turn that character into an Intelligence specialist.
This does not mean every player must follow one fixed build.
It means your formation should amplify the player's strengths unless you have a specific reason not to.
Trained Players use six major stats:
Stamina
Speed
Physical
Technical
Intelligence
Kick Power
Different Training menus emphasize different combinations of these stats.
Strength Training focuses on Physical and also provides Stamina and some Speed.
Shuttle Run focuses on Speed and also provides Stamina and some Kick Power.
Dribble Training focuses on Technical and also provides Speed, Physical, and Kick Power.
Shooting Training focuses on Kick Power and also provides Physical, Technical, and Intelligence.
Image Training focuses on Intelligence and also provides Stamina and Technical.
Current Training data confirms that each menu can increase more than one stat, which is why you do not need five completely different menu types in every formation. Stacking strong versions of the same useful menu can actually be beneficial when they match your desired specialization.
Current formation guides are generally organized around Speed, Physical, Technical, Intelligence, and Kick rather than a dedicated Stamina archetype.
Stamina is instead obtained alongside other Training menus such as Strength Training, Shuttle Runs, and Image Training.
For most builds, this means you should obtain enough Stamina through complementary Training rather than sacrificing your entire formation to chase it.
One of the biggest mistakes players make is looking only at a support character's rarity.
Training Abilities often matter more.
Current high-level evaluation puts the following effects among the strongest abilities for maximizing Training results.
Special Lecture Bonus is one of the strongest Training effects in the game.
It increases the stats gained when that support player participates in a Special Lecture.
Because modern characters and Support Cards can reach extremely high Special Lecture multipliers, a successful high-value Lecture can create enormous stat gains.
This is one of the first abilities you should check when comparing similar supports.
Training Bonus increases all stat gains when the unit possessing it participates in Training.
It is particularly powerful because it can also contribute when other characters trigger strong Training events.
A support does not need to have the highest individual stat percentage if it provides powerful multiplicative effects to the whole Training action.
This increases the probability that the unit generates Special Training.
More Special Training opportunities mean more chances for major stat spikes and stronger skill acquisition.
Lecture Rate improves the probability of that player participating when Special Training occurs.
It pairs naturally with Special Training Rate and Special Lecture Bonus.
This is one of the most important synergies in modern Training:
Special Training Rate + Lecture Rate + Special Lecture Bonus
Current Training guidance explicitly identifies this combination as particularly powerful because each effect improves the value of the others.
Extra Bonus effects can add another layer of stat multiplication to specific Training menus.
Modern premium players and Support Cards can contain multiple Extra Bonus stages, making them particularly powerful during high-roll Training runs.
Skill Level Up improves the levels of skills obtained from Training cards and support events.
This is valuable when your objective is not simply producing enormous raw stats but also creating a Trained Player with a strong collection of useful skills.
Effects such as Constant Technical Up or Constant Speed Up improve gains from many different sources rather than one specific Training interaction.
Modern LR Support Cards can have extremely large Constant Stat bonuses, which is one reason they have overtaken many older UR options.
Do not evaluate Training Abilities individually.
The strongest formations combine effects that amplify each other.
A strong high-end setup might combine:
Special Training Rate → Lecture Rate → Special Lecture Bonus → Training Bonus → Extra Bonus
That creates multiple opportunities for the same Training action to receive significant scaling.
Another useful combination is:
Special Training Rate → Skill Level Up
More Special Training increases opportunities to acquire high-level skills.
For stat-focused builds, meanwhile:
Target-stat Constant Up → Target-menu acquisition bonus → Training Bonus
can produce very strong specialized results.
The key lesson is that six independently good supports are not automatically as strong as six supports whose abilities interact.
Kick remains one of the most important Training archetypes because it directly supports offensive finishing.
Current high-end Kick compositions revolve around modern versions of characters such as:
Seishiro Nagi
Rin Itoshi
Yoichi Isagi
Ryusei Shidou
Shuto Sendou
Sae Itoshi
Hyoma Chigiri and Shouei Barou can also function as useful substitutes depending on your available versions and development. BlueLockDB's current Kick Training composition uses this core and recommends Noel Noa as Advisor.
Strong current Kick compositions can use cards such as:
Japan National Team Ver. Sae
A New Nemesis
Happiness Bridal
Wishing Upon the Stars Nanase & Rin
In Search of an Undiscovered “Treasure”
“Blue Lock” Wild Hero
These options contribute through Kick-oriented Training, complementary stats, Training multipliers, or skills.
Among current premium Support Cards, Japan National Team Ver. Sae is particularly notable because the LR version supports Technical and Kick development and can reach significant Constant Stat and Extra Bonus effects at maximum investment.
For a striker-oriented Kick build, prioritize:
Kick Power → useful secondary Speed or Technical → offensive skills
You generally do not want to sacrifice every other stat purely to inflate Kick.
A striker still needs enough complementary attributes to perform consistently.
Speed formations are built around Shuttle Run performance and Speed-oriented Training bonuses.
Current high-end recommendations include support players such as:
Sae Itoshi
Rin Itoshi
Eita Otoya
Seishiro Nagi
Oliver Aiku
The exact versions matter significantly.
You should favor versions that provide strong Speed growth, Shuttle Run bonuses, Special Lecture scaling, or complementary Training effects.
Current high-tier options include cards built specifically around Speed or Speed plus a secondary stat.
Moon, Autumn Leaves, and White Dango is one of the strongest current LR Support Cards.
It specializes in Speed and Physical, uses Shuttle Run Training, and at maximum development can provide major Constant Stat scaling and very large FLOW Point generation from its special event.
Marine Blue Saber is another current high-level Speed option, with growth-related Training effects that can make it particularly useful in Speed-focused formations.
A pure Speed build should focus on:
Speed → secondary stat that matches the intended player role → useful movement or attack skills
For attacking players, Kick or Technical often complement Speed well.
For more defensive players, Intelligence or Physical can be more valuable.
Physical builds make heavy use of Strength Training and Physical-specific Training Abilities.
Current recommended Physical support players include:
Reo Mikage
Rensuke Kunigami
Ryusei Shidou
Shuto Sendou
Jingo Raichi
These characters provide a mixture of strong Physical growth, Strength Training compatibility, and Training bonuses.
Another current formation example uses Sendou, Reo, Kunigami, Oliver Aiku, and Raichi, illustrating that a strong support does not always need to match the target type perfectly if its actual Training Abilities are valuable.
This is particularly important.
The easiest way to build a formation is to select supports matching the target type.
But type is only a shortcut.
A non-Physical support with powerful:
Training Bonus
Physical Up
FLOW generation
Special Lecture Bonus
Extra Bonus
can outperform a mediocre Physical support.
Current Training recommendations explicitly advise using off-type options when their Training Abilities provide better value.
For Physical-oriented development:
Physical → appropriate secondary stat → defensive or matchup skills
Strength Training also contributes Stamina, which can make Physical formations useful for players who need durability without building specifically around Stamina.
Technical currently has one of the strongest premium Training ecosystems.
Recommended support-player cores include:
Seishiro Nagi
Sae Itoshi
Reo Mikage
Meguru Bachira
Eita Otoya
Recent high-end Training setups also use modern Karasu-centered formations designed around Technical growth and FLOW mechanics.
As of September 2026, EGO IGNITION Bachira is particularly important.
It is the game's first LREX Support Card specialized around Technical development.
At maximum investment, current data lists:
100% Limit Break-related scaling
A 50% FLOW Point multiplier
A UNION-compatible Training card
Up to 50,000% Constant Technical Up
It is currently rated among the strongest Support Cards available.
That makes it an obvious high-end target for Technical Training.
Current top-level options also include:
Bring Out the Red One – a Technical-focused LR card with strong Constant Stat scaling and additional FLOW synergy when paired with certain characters.
Japan National Team Ver. Sae – useful for Technical plus Kick.
Watermelon Breaker – primarily Intelligence and Speed oriented, but valuable in certain Technical-oriented formations because modern Training setups are built around broader synergy rather than one stat label alone.
For Technical development:
Technical → complementary Speed, Intelligence, or Kick → passing/dribbling-related skills
Technical is especially useful for players being developed around passing, possession, or offensive creation.
Intelligence-focused formations use Image Training as their primary menu.
Current recommended support players include:
Oliver Aiku
Seishiro Nagi
Meguru Bachira
Ranze Kurona
Yo Hiori
Modern Yo Hiori versions are particularly interesting because Hiori's newest 5★ release has strong Intelligence-oriented Training value.
Current Intelligence setups are often more defensive than Kick or Technical formations, although the exact finished role depends heavily on the player being trained.
Watermelon Breaker is currently one of the strongest LR Support Cards and supports Intelligence and Speed development.
At maximum investment, current rankings highlight a large Constant Stat bonus, FLOW generation, and a 15-stage Extra Bonus system.
Other Intelligence-oriented cards can remain valuable when they provide:
Image Training Intelligence acquisition bonuses
Constant Intelligence Up
Special Lecture Bonus
Special Training Rate
FLOW generation
For example, current UR card data demonstrates that high-end Intelligence cards can combine Image Training gains, Constant Intelligence, FLOW generation, Training Bonus, and Special Lecture Bonus within the same package.
For Intelligence builds:
Intelligence → Technical, Speed, or Physical depending on role → interception/block/decision-oriented skills
Do not assume Intelligence belongs only to defenders.
Its usefulness depends on the player's position, skills, and team role.
Stamina is important, but it works differently from the five main Training archetypes used for formation building.
Several Training menus naturally provide Stamina as a secondary gain.
This makes it possible to develop respectable Stamina while still specializing in another primary stat.
The mistake is ignoring Stamina completely.
The opposite mistake is sacrificing your entire build to maximize it.
Aim for enough Stamina to support the player's intended role while allowing the more decisive role-specific stats to remain your primary focus.
Support Cards are not passive stat sticks.
They can contribute:
Training Abilities
Training menu cards
Special events
Skills
FLOW Points
Extra Bonuses
Constant stat bonuses
Scenario-specific interactions
This means Support Card selection can fundamentally change whether a formation works.
A formation containing the correct characters but weak or incompatible Support Cards can perform significantly worse than a less glamorous lineup with strong card synergy.
The current top-end Support Card environment has moved heavily toward LR and LREX cards.
Current rankings place LR cards above older UR cards because of their stronger Training Abilities, FLOW generation, and ability to support multiple Training needs.
Type: Technical
Training: Dribble
Rarity: LREX
This is currently one of the most powerful Technical Training cards.
Its combination of huge Constant Technical scaling, FLOW multiplication, and UNION compatibility makes it particularly valuable in the newest Training scenario.
Type: Speed
Training: Shuttle Run
Rarity: LR
This card specializes in Speed and Physical.
At maximum development, current data lists up to 30,000% Constant Stat scaling and a special event capable of generating more than 42,000 FLOW Points.
Type: Technical
Rarity: LR
A premium Technical development card with large Constant Stat scaling and strong FLOW potential.
It gains additional FLOW value when used alongside specific compatible characters, making roster synergy important.
Primary strengths: Intelligence and Speed
Rarity: LR
Watermelon Breaker combines high Constant Stat scaling with a deep Extra Bonus system.
It is particularly valuable for modern mixed-stat Training builds rather than only one narrow archetype.
Primary strengths: Technical and Kick
Rarity: LR
This is one of the strongest choices when your build needs both creative and offensive development.
Its current maximum kit includes major Constant Stat scaling and a multi-stage Extra Bonus system.
Primary strength: Speed
Rarity: LR
A strong Speed-oriented card that also includes growth-related Training value.
It can be an excellent option when your trainee already possesses strong Speed growth and you want the formation to amplify it further.
LR is currently the premium end of the Support Card system, but investment still matters.
A heavily developed UR card with exactly the Training Abilities your player needs may outperform a poorly developed LR card in your current account.
Compare:
Current limit-break level
Training Bonus
Special Lecture Bonus
Constant stat effects
Extra Bonus effects
FLOW generation
Menu type
Skills
Character synergy
Do not replace a functional support simply because a newer card has a higher rarity badge.
Every support player and Support Card contributes Training menu cards.
These menu cards matter because Special Training is connected to them.
If several characters contribute the same useful Training menu, you increase your opportunities to encounter strong versions of that Training type. Current Training guidance specifically notes that duplicate menu types are not inherently a problem.
For example, a Kick build does not need one Strength, one Shuttle, one Dribble, one Shot, and one Image support.
If Shooting Training is the best way to exploit your character's growth and bonuses, stacking multiple strong Shooting cards can make sense.
This is another important point.
It is better to use a powerful developed support whose menu overlaps with another support than to insert an underdeveloped character simply so every Training menu is represented.
Your priority is creating powerful Special Training opportunities.
Menu diversity is secondary.
Modern Training contains multiple enhanced card types with stronger effects than standard Training cards.
Current card data includes cards capable of dramatically multiplying the stats of standard Gold Training Cards and triggering additional effects such as Extra Bonuses or turn-extension rights.
You do not need to memorize every color immediately.
The important practical rule is:
A strong Training formation should maximize the value of its best card outcomes, not just average gains from ordinary cards.
That is why Special Training probability, FLOW cards, Extra Bonuses, and Training menu selection have become so important.
The current recommended scenario is PLAN FLOW and Challenge W.
It improves on the earlier PLAN FLOW and Challenge format and places even greater emphasis on collecting FLOW Points.
The scenario includes:
FLOW-based scaling
CHALLENGE bonuses
Card Union
Ex Card Union
Multiplicative stat bonuses
Stronger late-run Training opportunities
Current scenario guidance describes it as the strongest recommended Training environment and an upgrade over the previous FLOW scenario.
FLOW Points increase the power of scenario bonuses.
In the newer scenario, CHALLENGE bonuses can multiply existing Training bonuses rather than simply adding to them.
This creates much larger stat gains than older Training environments.
That is why modern characters and Support Cards with large FLOW generation have become so valuable.
A card that generates FLOW may indirectly improve many later Training actions rather than only the Training where the FLOW was earned.
Card Union combines multiple Training cards into one major Training result.
In PLAN FLOW and Challenge W, the stronger Ex Card Union can combine up to ten cards, substantially increasing the possible stats and skills gained from one scenario event.
This changes how you should evaluate a formation.
You are not simply asking:
How much does this support give me right now?
You should also ask:
What kind of card can this support contribute when Card Union occurs?
FLOW-compatible cards and powerful menu cards can therefore have disproportionate value.
BLUE LOCK PWC includes Skill Connect categories covering:
Match Skills
Training Skills
Collection Skills
For Training specifically, connected Training Skills can improve the value of certain character and Support Card combinations.
Beginners can initially prioritize strong individual supports.
Advanced players should start checking which combinations unlock additional Training benefits.
This is where two individually strong characters may lose to a slightly weaker-looking pair that activates a valuable connected effect.
The Friend Support slot is one of the most useful tools for accounts that do not own every premium unit.
Current Training guidance recommends borrowing a highly developed player that matches the Training objective, particularly a maximum-level or heavily limit-broken option.
Do not automatically borrow the newest character.
Borrow the support that fills the most important gap.
For example:
If your Kick formation already has several elite attackers but lacks Special Lecture Bonus, borrow the character providing the missing multiplier.
If your Technical formation lacks FLOW generation, borrow a support that fixes FLOW rather than adding another redundant stat bonus.
Think in terms of formation weaknesses.
Modern Training also includes Support Equipment.
Current Support Equipment can add additional Training Abilities to your formation, and the newer BLACK Support Equipment is stronger than earlier versions and can provide exclusive Gold Skills.
The number of Support Equipment slots depends on the level of the character being trained.
Current requirements indicate that additional slots open as the trainee's level increases, with the full three equipment slots requiring a level 100 character. BLACK equipment also has additional unlock requirements.
For optimized Training, this means character leveling matters even before Training begins.
Meta Training screenshots can be useful inspiration, but copying them blindly often fails.
A screenshot may assume:
Maximum limit breaks
Maximum Support Card levels
Specific Support Equipment
A particular Advisor
Skill Connect bonuses
Rare LR cards
Specific FLOW interactions
High-level character versions
If your copies are much weaker, the same formation may produce completely different results.
Instead of copying the names, copy the logic.
Ask:
Why is this support here?
Which stat does it improve?
What multiplier does it provide?
Which Training card does it contribute?
What FLOW does it generate?
What synergy does it activate?
Once you can answer those questions, you can build strong formations using your own roster.
You do not need a complete LR formation to create useful Trained Players.
Current low-spend guidance recommends building around event-distributed characters and Support Cards, then using flexible slots and the Friend slot to cover missing pieces.
The most important principles remain the same:
Match supports to the trainee's strongest growth where practical
Use developed supports instead of weak high-rarity pieces
Borrow a powerful Friend Support
Prioritize strong Training Abilities
Use cards that contribute to your target stat
Activate useful Training Skills where possible
A coherent lower-rarity formation can outperform a random collection of expensive pieces.
If your Training results stop improving, do not immediately abandon the trainee.
Check the formation piece by piece.
Are you targeting the stats the player naturally develops well?
Do enough supports provide strong Special Lecture scaling?
Can your formation reliably generate powerful Special Training opportunities?
Modern Training increasingly rewards high FLOW production.
Do the available Training menu cards actually support your target stat?
Would improving one important Support Card produce more value than adding another low-level card?
Are you missing a useful connected Training effect?
Could borrowing one highly developed support fix the formation?
Are you leaving available equipment slots unused?
This diagnostic approach is far more useful than rebuilding everything after one weak Training result.
A top-ranked character is not automatically optimal for every Training type.
Choose supports according to the player being trained.
Trying to force a weak-growth stat can waste powerful Training opportunities.
Type matching is useful, but a strong off-type support with the right Training Abilities can be better.
Modern Training results can depend heavily on multiplier stacking.
Raw stat bonuses alone are not enough.
FLOW is central to current Training scenarios and can amplify later Training results.
Duplicating a strong menu is completely acceptable.
Do not weaken your formation just to create visual variety.
Skills matter, but a card with poor Training Abilities may significantly reduce your overall stat ceiling.
The opposite problem also exists.
A player with huge stats but no useful skills may perform worse than expected in matches.
A maximum-investment Friend Support can transform a developing account.
Always consider your own limit breaks and levels.
The same unit can perform very differently at low and maximum investment.
There is no single best formation for every character. The strongest setup depends on the trainee's growth rates, target stat, support-player investment, Support Cards, FLOW generation, and Skill Connect effects. Current meta formations are normally built separately for Kick, Speed, Physical, Technical, and Intelligence development.
Special Lecture Bonus and Training Bonus are currently among the highest-priority effects. Special Training Rate, Lecture Rate, Extra Bonus, and Skill Level Up are also extremely valuable, especially when combined.
PLAN FLOW and Challenge W is currently rated as the strongest recommended Training scenario. It improves FLOW scaling, introduces stronger CHALLENGE effects, and includes upgraded Card Union mechanics.
Current top-end options include EGO IGNITION Bachira, Moon, Autumn Leaves, and White Dango, Bring Out the Red One, Watermelon Breaker, Japan National Team Ver. Sae, Marine Blue Saber, and other modern LR cards. The best card for your formation still depends on the target stat and your investment level.
Yes. It is currently rated among the strongest Support Cards and is particularly powerful for Technical Training due to its LREX rarity, FLOW scaling, Constant Technical bonus, and UNION-compatible Training card.
Usually, but not always. Matching types is an easy way to create a coherent formation, but current Training guidance specifically recommends using off-type supports when their Training Abilities better support the stat you want.
Yes, when they are strong. Multiple copies of the same Training menu can increase your opportunities for useful Special Training. You do not need every menu represented in one formation.
Very important in current scenarios. PLAN FLOW and Challenge W uses FLOW to increase CHALLENGE bonuses and strengthen major Training outcomes, making strong FLOW-generating characters and cards particularly valuable.
Both matter. For high Training evaluations you need strong stat scaling, but a Trained Player intended for matches also needs appropriate skills. The best formation creates strong stats without sacrificing the skills required for the player's intended role.
Strong Training starts before the first Training card appears.
Know which player you are developing.
Identify that player's best growth stats.
Choose a primary Training objective.
Then build the formation around effects that amplify that objective.
Prioritize powerful Training Abilities such as Special Lecture Bonus, Training Bonus, Special Training Rate, Lecture Rate, and Extra Bonus. Use Support Cards that contribute useful Training menus, FLOW generation, skills, and scenario interactions.
Most importantly, stop thinking of Training pieces individually.
A powerful BLUE LOCK PWC Training formation is a chain of multipliers:
Good growth rates + compatible supports + strong Training Abilities + useful Support Cards + FLOW + Card Union + Skill Connect + Support Equipment.
When those pieces reinforce each other, Training results can increase dramatically.
That is the real difference between simply owning strong characters and consistently developing strong Trained Players.
