All New Perks in Bizarre Lineage Update 1 (April 2026) Complete Guide

Bizarre Lineage just dropped its biggest content update yet, and the Update 1 perk system completely changes how you build your character. There are 39 new perks spread across Stand Perks, Raid Perks, and Prestige Perks — each one adding passive bonuses that can shift the outcome of any PvP fight or raid. I spent hours testing every single perk across multiple stand builds, and this guide covers every last one of them with exact descriptions, obtainment methods, and synergy tips. If you want the full picture of what Bizarre Lineage Update 1 brings to the table, you can also check our Bizarre Lineage official Trello and Wiki links for the latest community resources and codes.

Whether you are grinding through raids, fighting in gang wars, or pushing through endgame prestige content, understanding these perks is non-negotiable. The perk system gives you 4 slots to fill, and picking the right combination for your Stand and playstyle makes a massive difference in combat output. Let me break down every new perk introduced in Update 1, organized by category so you can find exactly what you need.

Quick Summary: All 39 New Perks in Bizarre Lineage Update 1

Update 1 introduced perks across three main categories. Here is the breakdown:

• Stand Perks (22 perks) — Tied to specific Stands including Death 13, Diver Down, Planet Waves, Silver Chariot, Silver Chariot Requiem, Star Platinum The World, The World Overheaven, and True Made in Heaven. You unlock these by obtaining the associated Stand.
• Raid Perks (10 perks) — Available through two new raid shops: The World Overheaven Raid Shop and the Death 13 Dream Dimension Raid Shop. Earned using raid tokens.
• Prestige Perks (7 perks) — Purchased from the Prestige Shop using prestige shards. These are endgame perks for players who have gone through the prestige system.

Players have 4 perk slots available in the Stand Information tab. You can mix and match perks from any category, so a smart combination of Stand, Raid, and Prestige perks will always outperform stacking just one type. The key is synergy — pairing perks that complement each other rather than overlapping effects.

All New Stand Perks in Bizarre Lineage Update 1

Stand Perks are passive abilities tied to specific Stands. When you obtain a Stand in Update 1, you gain access to its unique set of perks. Each Stand has 2 to 4 perks attached to it, giving you new passive bonuses that activate during combat. Below is every Stand Perk added in Update 1, organized by Stand.

Death 13 Perks

Death 13 is a Stand that revolves around dream manipulation and psychological combat. Its perks focus on disrupting opponents and amplifying damage during disoriented states.

Dream Weaver — Increases the duration of sleep and disorientation effects on opponents by 15%. This perk makes Death 13’s crowd control abilities stick longer, giving you more time to lay down damage while your target is helpless. It stacks well with any build that relies on landing the initial sleep effect.

Nightmare Fuel — Deals burn damage over time to opponents affected by Death 13’s sleep ability. The burn ticks continue even after the opponent wakes up, adding passive damage output on top of your active attacks. This is a strong choice for aggressive Death 13 players who want damage that keeps working while they reposition.

Subconscious Strike — Grants a 10% damage boost when attacking opponents from behind while they are under sleep effects. Positioning matters with this perk — you want to circle around sleeping targets before unleashing your combo for maximum damage. It pairs well with Dream Weaver since longer sleep duration gives you more time to get behind your target.

Diver Down Perks

Diver Down is a versatile Stand that excels at storing energy and modifying its own abilities. If you want to learn how to get this Stand, check our full How to get Diver Down Stand guide. Diver Down’s perks enhance its energy mechanics and combat versatility.

Energy Reserve — Stores up to 3 charges of energy that can be released for burst damage. Each stored charge adds 8% damage to your next attack. You build charges by landing successful hits, and you can hold them until the perfect moment to unleash a devastating combo. This is Diver Down’s signature perk and should be your first pick.

Phase Shift — Reduces damage taken by 12% for 5 seconds after using a dive ability. This defensive window lets you play aggressively with Diver Down’s dive attacks without getting punished on the way in. The timing takes practice, but once you get the rhythm down it becomes a reliable damage mitigation tool.

Power Dive — Increases dive attack damage by 18% and adds a small knockback effect. The knockback is the real value here — it creates spacing between you and your opponent, giving you time to charge your next move. Combined with Phase Shift, you can dive in, deal burst damage, knock back, and reset safely.

Planet Waves Perks

Planet Waves brings meteor-based attacks and gravitational manipulation to the battlefield. Its perks center around area control and sustained pressure.

Meteor Shower — Meteor attacks have a 20% chance to spawn additional meteors that deal 40% of the original damage. This random proc can turn a single meteor into a devastating barrage. The extra meteors land in a small area around the initial impact point, making it harder for opponents to dodge.

Gravitational Pull — Slows nearby opponents by 15% when Planet Waves abilities are active. The slow effect applies in a radius around your character, making it useful for controlling space in PvP. Opponents caught in the slow zone become easy targets for meteor attacks.

Crater Impact — Meteor impacts leave a burning zone on the ground that deals damage over time for 6 seconds. These zones stack with each other, so landing multiple meteors in the same area creates a damage-over-time death trap. It is especially effective in enclosed spaces where opponents cannot easily escape.

Silver Chariot Perks

Silver Chariot is a fast, precision-focused Stand. Its perks enhance speed, combo potential, and counter-attack capabilities.

Rapid Thrust — Increases attack speed by 14% for 3 seconds after a successful block. This turns Silver Chariot into a counter-attacking machine. Block an incoming attack, and you get a burst of speed to punish your opponent before they can recover. Timing your blocks is the key to maximizing this perk.

Armor Pierce — Attacks ignore 10% of the opponent’s defense stat. Flat defense penetration is extremely valuable in PvP because it scales against tanky builds that would normally absorb your damage. This perk makes Silver Chariot consistently effective regardless of what you are fighting.

Parry Master — Extends the parry window by 0.3 seconds and grants a brief speed boost on successful parry. That extra timing window makes parrying much more forgiving, and the speed boost lets you follow up with a guaranteed hit. If you are building a defensive Silver Chariot playstyle, this perk is mandatory.

Silver Chariot Requiem Perks

Silver Chariot Requiem is the evolved form, and its perks reflect the Stand’s soul-manipulation abilities. You will need a Requiem Arrow to access this form — our Requiem Arrow farming guide has all the details on obtaining one. Requiem perks are among the strongest in Update 1.

Soul Dominion — Reduces opponent Stand damage by 8% when within close range. This aura-like effect weakens any Stand user who gets too close, giving you a combat advantage in melee range. It stacks multiplicatively with other defense perks for significant damage reduction.

Shadow Step — Grants a 15% movement speed boost for 4 seconds after swapping positions with an opponent. Silver Chariot Requiem’s soul swap ability becomes even more dangerous when you can immediately chase down your disoriented target. The speed boost ensures they cannot simply run away after the swap.

Willpower Drain — Each hit on an opponent reduces their cooldown recovery speed by 3%, stacking up to 5 times. At full stacks, your opponent’s cooldowns recover 15% slower. Against ability-heavy builds, this perk slowly strangles their options until they cannot keep up with your pressure.

Star Platinum The World Perks

Star Platinum The World is the time-stopping evolution of the iconic Stand. Its perks amplify time-stop mechanics and raw damage output.

Timeless Precision — Increases damage dealt during time stop by 20%. This is the single biggest damage multiplier for any time-stop build. Every hit you land while time is frozen hits significantly harder, turning an already devastating ability into a potential one-shot combo tool.

Split-Second Strike — The first attack after time stop ends deals 25% bonus damage and has increased knockback. This catches opponents off guard as they recover from the time stop, adding one more punishing hit to your combo. The knockback creates distance so you can reset and plan your next engagement.

Relentless Barrage — Consecutive hits on the same opponent increase your attack speed by 3% per hit, up to a maximum of 15%. This perk rewards sustained offense during time stop windows when you can land multiple rapid hits. Keep the pressure on, and your attack speed ramps up dramatically.

The World Overheaven Perks

The World Overheaven is the reality-overwriting version of The World. Its perks center around overwhelming power and reality manipulation effects.

Reality Break — Attacks have a 15% chance to apply a defense reduction debuff that lowers the target’s defense by 12% for 8 seconds. This proc-based defense shred makes The World Overheaven increasingly dangerous the longer a fight goes on. Multiple applications refresh the duration, so aggressive playstyles keep the debuff active.

Overheaven Fury — Increases all damage output by 10% when standing inside an active time stop zone. This works with your own time stop and with allies’ time stop effects in team content. The flat damage boost is straightforward and powerful, making this one of the best raw damage perks in Update 1.

Dimensional Collapse — Time stop duration increases by 0.5 seconds, and opponents inside the time stop zone take 5% increased damage from all sources. The extra half second might not sound like much, but in competitive PvP it is the difference between landing 2 more hits or watching your opponent escape. The damage amplification affects teammates too, making this perk valuable in group content.

True Made in Heaven Perks

True Made in Heaven is the ultimate speed Stand. Its perks focus on acceleration, evasion, and overwhelming opponents with sheer velocity.

Acceleration — Movement speed increases by 8% permanently, and attack speed increases by an additional 5% after using a dash ability. The permanent movement buff alone makes this perk worth equipping on any build. Add the attack speed proc from dashing, and True Made in Heaven becomes a blur of damage output.

Time Compression — Reduces all ability cooldowns by 10% while above 50% health. This keeps your ability rotation fluid during the early and mid portions of fights. The health threshold means you lose the benefit when low, rewarding players who can avoid damage and maintain positioning.

Afterimage — Dash abilities leave an afterimage that deals 20% of your last attack’s damage to nearby opponents. This free damage adds up fast when you are dashing constantly. It punishes opponents who chase you and rewards aggressive hit-and-run playstyles. The afterimage damage can critically hit, making it even more bursty with the right setup.

All New Raid Perks in Bizarre Lineage Update 1

Raid Perks are purchased from raid-specific shops using tokens earned by completing raids. Update 1 added two new raids, each with its own shop containing 5 unique perks. These perks are not tied to any specific Stand, making them flexible options for any build.

The World Overheaven Raid Shop Perks

The World Overheaven Raid is a challenging endgame activity that rewards tokens for its dedicated shop. Here are the 5 perks available.

Iron Will — Increases defense by 8% for 10 seconds after being hit by a heavy attack. This reactive defense buff helps you survive burst damage windows. It triggers automatically, so you do not need to think about it — just take the hit and get tougher for the next engagement.

Overwhelming Force — Heavy attacks deal 12% more damage and have a 10% chance to break the opponent’s block. Block break is incredibly valuable in PvP since blocked attacks deal reduced damage. This perk makes your heavy attacks a real threat that opponents cannot safely turtle against.

Temporal Shield — Taking damage during time stop reduces that damage by 15%. If you face opponents who use time-stop abilities frequently, this perk is a direct counter. It only activates during the time stop window, so it does not waste a perk slot against non-time-stop builds.

Heaven’s Blessing — Heals 3% of max health after successfully completing a combo of 5 or more hits. Sustain in extended fights is hard to come by, and this perk rewards aggressive combo play. Landing long combos becomes even more worthwhile when you get health back for your effort.

Reality Anchor — Reduces the effectiveness of opponent debuffs on you by 15%. This includes defense reduction, slow effects, and cooldown penalties. Against teams running multiple debuff perks, Reality Anchor keeps you performing at near-full capacity when other players would be crippled.

Death 13 Dream Dimension Raid Shop Perks

The Death 13 Dream Dimension Raid takes you into a surreal dreamscape with unique mechanics. Its shop offers 5 perks focused on crowd control resistance and dream-themed abilities.

Dreamwalker — Immune to sleep and disorientation effects for 3 seconds after waking up. This prevents chain-sleeping strategies where opponents lock you down repeatedly. The 3-second window gives you time to reposition or counterattack before another sleep effect can land.

Nightmare Resistance — Reduces the duration of all crowd control effects by 12%. This includes stun, freeze, slow, and sleep effects from any source. The reduction applies to the base duration, making it effective against both short and long crowd control abilities.

Lucid Strike — Attacks deal 8% bonus damage to opponents under any crowd control effect. If your team has strong crowd control capabilities, this perk amplifies your damage during those windows. It works with your own crowd control too, rewarding you for landing sleep or stun effects before attacking.

Restoration — Regenerates 1% of max health every 5 seconds while not taking damage. The regeneration pauses during combat and resumes after 5 seconds of not being hit. This is a between-fights sustain perk that keeps you healthier as you move between encounters in raids and open world content.

Phantom Edge — Critical hit damage increases by 10% for 6 seconds after breaking an opponent’s block. Block breaking is an aggressive play pattern, and this perk rewards it with amplified critical hits. If your build already focuses on heavy attacks and block pressure, Phantom Edge turns those block breaks into devastating critical strikes.

Prestige Perks in Bizarre Lineage Update 1

Prestige Perks are the endgame layer of the perk system. They are purchased from the Prestige Shop using prestige shards, which you earn by going through the prestige system. These perks are not tied to any Stand or raid, making them the most flexible options available. Update 1 added 7 Prestige Perks.

Prestige Power — Increases all base damage by 5%. A simple, flat damage increase that benefits every single attack and ability. There are no conditions or requirements — it just works. This makes it a reliable pick for any build that wants consistent damage output.

Enduring Spirit — Increases max health by 8%. More health means you survive longer in every situation. It synergizes with percentage-based healing effects and percentage-based damage reduction, making those defensive options even more effective.

Reflex Boost — Reduces dodge roll cooldown by 15%. More frequent dodges mean more survivability and better positioning. In PvP, the ability to dodge more often directly translates to avoiding damage and creating openings. This is especially strong on fast Stands that rely on mobility.

Keen Eye — Increases critical hit chance by 5%. Flat critical hit chance is rare in Bizarre Lineage, and this perk stacks with any other crit-boosting effects your build might have. Over the course of a long fight, 5% extra crit chance adds meaningful damage output.

Battle Hardened — Reduces all incoming damage by 4%. Another flat, unconditional perk that works in every scenario. Four percent might seem small, but across an entire fight it can be the difference between surviving a lethal combo and getting knocked out.

Swift Recovery — Reduces all ability cooldowns by 6%. Faster cooldowns mean more ability usage throughout a fight. This benefits ability-heavy builds the most, but even basic ability rotations feel noticeably smoother with this perk equipped.

Vampiric Touch — Heals for 3% of damage dealt on critical hits. This combines offense and sustain — the harder you hit, the more you heal. It pairs perfectly with Keen Eye since more critical hits means more healing triggers. On high-crit builds, this perk can provide substantial sustain during extended fights.

How to Obtain and Equip Perks in Bizarre Lineage Update 1

Getting perks in Update 1 requires different methods depending on the perk type. Here is a step-by-step breakdown of each obtainment path.

Step 1: Getting Stand Perks

Stand Perks unlock automatically when you obtain the associated Stand. For example, pulling Death 13 from a Stand Arrow grants you access to all Death 13 perks. For evolved Stands like Silver Chariot Requiem, you need to use a Requiem Arrow on the base form. Our Requiem Arrow farming guide covers exactly how to get these rare items. Once you have the Stand, its perks appear in your perk selection menu.

Step 2: Earning Raid Perks

Raid Perks require raid tokens, which you earn by completing raids. Each raid has its own token type. The World Overheaven Raid drops Overheaven Tokens, and the Death 13 Dream Dimension Raid drops Dream Tokens. You spend these tokens at the corresponding raid shop to unlock perks. The more raids you complete, the more tokens you accumulate and the more perks you can afford. Focus on farming the raid that offers the perks you want most.

Step 3: Unlocking Prestige Perks

Prestige Perks cost prestige shards, which you earn through the prestige system. Prestiging resets your level progression but grants permanent stat bonuses and prestige shards. The Prestige Shop is accessible once you have prestiged at least once. These perks tend to be the most versatile since they are not locked behind specific Stands or raids.

Step 4: Equipping Perks

Open the Stand Information tab in your menu to access the perk equip screen. You have 4 perk slots available. Click on any slot and select from your unlocked perks. You can swap perks freely outside of combat, so feel free to experiment with different combinations. The key to strong builds is mixing perk types — combining a Stand Perk with a Raid Perk and a Prestige Perk usually produces better results than stacking perks from a single category.

Best Perk Builds and Synergies for Bizarre Lineage Update 1

Knowing what each perk does is only half the battle. The real advantage comes from understanding how perks interact with each other and with your Stand abilities. Here are three tested build archetypes that work well in Update 1.

Aggressive PvP Build

This build focuses on raw damage output and block pressure to overwhelm opponents in 1v1 fights.

• Slot 1: Timeless Precision (Star Platinum The World) — 20% damage during time stop
• Slot 2: Overwhelming Force (Overheaven Raid Shop) — block break on heavy attacks
• Slot 3: Prestige Power (Prestige Shop) — flat 5% damage boost
• Slot 4: Relentless Barrage (Star Platinum The World) — attack speed ramp on consecutive hits

This build stacks damage multipliers from different sources. Timeless Precision and Prestige Power boost your base damage, while Relentless Barrage increases your attack speed the longer you maintain pressure. Overwhelming Force ensures opponents cannot safely block your attacks, forcing them into unfavorable defensive positions.

Defensive Sustain Build

This build prioritizes surviving burst damage and winning through attrition.

• Slot 1: Phase Shift (Diver Down) — damage reduction after dive
• Slot 2: Iron Will (Overheaven Raid Shop) — defense buff when hit by heavy attack
• Slot 3: Enduring Spirit (Prestige Shop) — 8% max health increase
• Slot 4: Restoration (Death 13 Raid Shop) — passive health regeneration

Layered defense is the name of the game here. Phase Shift and Iron Will provide reactive damage reduction, Enduring Spirit increases your health pool so each point of damage reduction is worth more, and Restoration keeps you topped off between engagements. This build excels in longer fights where your opponent runs out of resources before you do. You can pair it with a fighting style like Muay Thai for consistent close-range pressure — check our Muay Thai fighting style guide for setup instructions.

Speed and Crit Build

This build maximizes critical hits and movement speed for a hit-and-run playstyle.

• Slot 1: Acceleration (True Made in Heaven) — permanent movement speed and attack speed on dash
• Slot 2: Afterimage (True Made in Heaven) — free damage on dash
• Slot 3: Keen Eye (Prestige Shop) — 5% critical hit chance
• Slot 4: Vampiric Touch (Prestige Shop) — heal on critical hits

Keen Eye and Vampiric Touch create a self-sustaining crit loop — more crits mean more healing, which keeps you alive to keep critting. Acceleration and Afterimage make your movement unpredictable and add free damage to every dash. This build works on any fast Stand but shines with True Made in Heaven where the speed bonuses stack even further.
