Bunny (Buddy Iglesias) Overview: What You Get
Blue Lock Rivals Bunny — better known as the Buddy Iglesias style — is one of the most mysterious and hyped additions to the game. Based on a striker who has barely appeared in the source material, Buddy arrives with an extremely low unlock rate, making him a collector's prize and a genuinely unique playstyle on the pitch.
When you unlock Buddy, you receive a full cosmetic and gameplay bundle rather than just a style slot:
| Item Included | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bunny hat cosmetic | Cosmetic | Worn on your character model |
| Bunny goal effect | Visual | Plays when you score |
| Two player cards | Collectible | Bunny-themed card art |
| Buddy emote | Emote | Bunny jump celebration |
| Base moveset (3 moves) | Gameplay | Scissor Kick, Crown Hopper, Rabbit Trap |
| Awakening (3 moves) | Gameplay | Enter Striker, Crown Hopper, Hair in the Air |
| Flow: Target Man | Passive buff | Aerial and speed specialist |
Bunny is frequently described as an ultra-low-rate unlock (fans cite figures as rare as 0.0001%). Treat any pull as a major flex — and always verify current rates in-game, as developers adjust gacha odds over time.
All Bunny Moves Explained
The Bunny style is built around three base moves that blend shooting, mobility, and counter-play. Here's a full breakdown from hands-on testing.
Video Highlights:
- Full showcase of every Bunny move, including auto-steal interactions with Buddy Hop
- Awakened Enter Striker cutscene shot and Hair in the Air dragon-drive header
- Target Man flow tested with headers, passes, and a speed race
- Full 1v1 gauntlet: Buddy vs Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic, World Class, and Master Class styles
| Move | Ball Required? | Effect | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scissor Kick | Yes | Powerful long-range shot with kick animation; shares its slot with Bunny Hop | Shooting from distance, even from your own half |
| Bunny Hop (C + hold) | No | Full sprint with bunny visuals; auto-steals from a ball carrier on contact | Chasing down opponents, defensive pressure |
| Crown Hopper | No | Runs you backwards, then delivers a lob pass to a nearby teammate | Escaping pressure, quick link-up play |
| Rabbit Trap | No | Freezes you in place; when an opponent gets close, you boot the ball away | Anti-tackle counter, free "throw" escape |
Using Scissor Kick consumes your Bunny Hop, since both share the same input slot. Plan your attack before committing to the shot — once you kick, your sprint tool is gone until the cooldown resets.
Move-by-Move Notes
- Scissor Kick: The ball travels extremely fast — fast enough to score from the opposing half. You can adjust direction mid-air, making it viable for wrong-footing keepers and even breaking ankles mid-flight.
- Bunny Hop: The auto-steal is the standout feature. If you sprint into a ball carrier, the ball pops loose automatically — no manual tackle timing needed. This works even against opponents attempting ankle-break dribbles.
- Crown Hopper: The first move in the game that makes you run backwards. It doubles as a lob pass, but the range is short — teammates must be relatively close. Opponents can still tackle you out of it, so use it strategically to cut direction, not as pure escape.
- Rabbit Trap: You freeze in place with a bunny bouncing overhead. When a defender approaches, you automatically kick the ball past them and break free. It also restores stamina while you wait, making it a reset tool.
Attacker Role
- Scissor Kick from range
- Header finishes after flow
- Long-shot specialist
Defender Role
- Bunny Hop auto-steal
- Relentless chase pressure
- Counters dribble spammers
Playmaker Role
- Crown Hopper lob pass
- Direction-cut escapes
- Rabbit Trap resets
Awakening & Target Man Flow
Activating Bunny's awakening transforms the kit into an aerial juggernaut. Two new moves replace the base set, and the Target Man flow multiplies everything aerial-related.
Awakened Moves
| Awakened Move | Requirement | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Enter Striker | Ball in hand | Cutscene backflip kick — an extremely powerful, screen-shaking last-resort shot |
| Crown Hopper | No ball | Same backward dash + lob pass as the base version |
| Hair in the Air | Ball must be airborne | Leaping dragon-drive header with a dramatic animation — Buddy's signature finisher |
Target Man Flow Bonuses
| Stat | Bonus |
|---|---|
| Air volley | Stronger |
| Jump height | 1.5x |
| Speed | +20% |
| Shot power | +25% |
| Header strength | +50% |
Aim headers downward when close to goal. Raw header power tends to blast the ball over the crossbar or off the wall — a downward-directed header converts that power into goals. You can also use boosted headers as long passes to sprinting teammates.
The flow's speed and jump boosts are immediately noticeable — in testing, Buddy with Target Man active won footraces comfortably against non-flowed opponents, and out-jumped defenders for aerial balls with ease.
How to Play Bunny: Step-by-Step
Open with Scissor Kick threat
Hold possession and let defenders respect your half-field shooting range. This forces them to close distance — exactly what Bunny wants.
Bait tackles with Rabbit Trap
When a defender commits, freeze with Rabbit Trap. The automatic kick-past punishes their approach and resets your possession.
Use Buddy Hop to steal and sprint
Off-ball, activate Bunny Hop to chase carriers. The auto-steal does the defensive work for you; the sprint gets you back into attack.
Awaken and go aerial
Once awakened, loft the ball and time Hair in the Air near goal. With Target Man active, aim headers downward for reliable finishes.
Save Enter Striker for clutch moments
Enter Striker is a high-impact, high-risk finisher. Hold it for decisive moments rather than wasting it on routine possessions.
Buddy lacks a true dribble move. In 1v1 gauntlet testing, he struggled against Mythic, World Class, and Master Class styles — but thrived with teammates. Use Crown Hopper's lob pass and aerial presence in full matches rather than solo queue duels.
1v1 Gauntlet Results & Style Matchups
In a full rarity ladder test, Buddy faced every tier of style. The results paint a clear picture of where Bunny fits in the meta.
| Opponent Tier | Style Faced | Result | Key Takeaway |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rare | Chigiri | Win (close) | Speed duels are tight even at low tiers |
| Epic | Bachira | Win | Rabbit Trap punishes aggressive tackles |
| Legendary | Nagi | Win | Auto-steal neutralizes clip farming |
| Mythic | Bachira (Mythic) | Loss | Faster, more complete kits overwhelm Buddy |
| World Class | Sae | Loss | Elite shooting and dribbling outclass him |
| Master Class | Loki | Loss | Godspeed movement is nearly unanswerable |
Bunny is not a 1v1 style. He has no dedicated dribble move and no defensive moves beyond Buddy Hop's steal. His value comes in team formats: aerial finishes, long-range Scissor Kicks, and defensive chasing. Expect counterplay from high-mobility styles like Loki and Sae.
Bunny Mastery Goals:
- Score a Scissor Kick from your own half
- Auto-steal three balls in one match with Buddy Hop
- Convert a downward Hair in the Air header with flow active
- Complete a Crown Hopper lob-pass assist
- Escape a tackle using Rabbit Trap in a ranked match
Bunny Strengths, Weaknesses & FAQ
Strengths vs Weaknesses
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|
| Extreme long-range Scissor Kick power | No dribble move for 1v1s |
| Auto-steal on Bunny Hop | Scissor Kick consumes the sprint tool |

Q: How rare is the Bunny (Buddy Iglesias) style in Blue Lock Rivals?
Bunny is among the rarest styles in the game, with fans citing pull rates as low as 0.0001%. Rates can change with updates, so check the in-game style system for current odds before rolling.
Q: Is Bunny good for 1v1 matches?
Generally, no. In full rarity-ladder testing, Bunny beat Rare through Legendary styles but lost to Mythic, World Class, and Master Class opponents. He lacks a dribble move and true defensive tools, making him far stronger in team matches.
Q: What does the Target Man flow do for Bunny?
Target Man grants stronger air volleys, a 1.5x jump, 20% speed boost, 25% shot boost, and a 50% header strength boost. It turns Bunny into an aerial specialist — pair it with Hair in the Air headers aimed downward for best results.
Q: Why does my Bunny Hop disappear after shooting?
Scissor Kick and Bunny Hop share the same input slot. Once you use the kick, the sprint version is unavailable until it resets. Decide whether you need the shot or the mobility before committing.
