How To Play Build A Striker: The Complete Draft Loop

Build A Striker by Wild Card takes the Blue Lock fantasy — forging the world's ultimate egoist striker — and turns it into a ten-round draft. You do not control a striker on the pitch; you build one, attribute by attribute, from whatever the roll gods give you. Here is the complete loop.

The Five-Step Loop

Step 1 — Roll a random team. Every run starts with a team roll, and the team ladder runs from First Selection all the way up to Pros. The tier you roll decides the quality of everything that follows — a Pro-tier team feeds you better players, which means better attributes on the board. First Selection is the Blue Lock reference: the anime's brutal first cut, and this game's bottom rung.

Step 2 — Draw a random player. From your rolled team you get a random player. You do not choose the player — the game does. This is the draft's tension: your strategy has to survive what the rolls serve.

Step 3 — Draft ONE of their ten attributes. Each player carries ten attributes: Shooting, Speed, Dribbling, Passing, Physical, Defense, Vision, IQ, Ego, and Weapon. You pick exactly one to take from that player. Not the player — one stat from them.

Step 4 — Repeat for ten rounds. New player, new ten-attribute board, new single pick. Ten times. Your finished striker is the sum of those ten choices.

Step 5 — Reveal your Overall. After round ten, your striker's finished Overall rating is revealed and the leaderboard settles who built the best one. The reveal is the payoff — and the reroll itch is what starts your next run.

Where Strategy Actually Lives

The loop sounds like pure luck, but it is a draft game, and draft games reward triage. Two decisions carry almost all the weight:

Team-tier awareness. A low-tier roll does not doom the run — it changes what you are shopping for. On weak boards, premium attributes (Shooting peaks, Ego, Weapon) are worth reaching for because the floor is low anyway; on strong boards, balanced drafting from good players beats reaching.

Attribute value over player flavor. You are never drafting a player, only one stat from them. The moment you stop thinking "I got a bad player" and start thinking "this board has one stat worth taking," the game opens up. The full priority framework lives in the attribute tier list, and the two Blue Lock signature stats get their own deep-dive in Ego and Weapon explained.

The Overall reveal plus leaderboard is the loop's engine: every run is short, every reveal is comparable, and every reroll is one click.
