by

With Update 1, Bizarre Lineage introduced a wide range of new perks that completely changed how builds work.

Perks are not just small bonuses anymore. They are one of the most important systems in the game, directly affecting your damage, survivability, mobility, and even team performance.

Since you only have 4 perk slots, choosing the right combination is critical.

In this guide, you’ll find all Bizarre Lineage Update 1 perks, including their effects, how to get them, and which ones are actually worth using.

What Are Perks in Bizarre Lineage?

Perks are passive abilities that remain active regardless of your Stand.

They:

  • Boost combat performance
  • Add utility or survivability
  • Enhance specific playstyles

You can equip up to 4 perks at a time, making build optimization extremely important.

Types of Perks in Update 1

Update 1 perks are divided into three main categories based on how you obtain them.

Perk Categories Overview

Type How to Get Focus
Shop Perks Money Store Basic buffs
Raid Perks Boss Raids Combat power
Gang Perks Territories & Wars Team bonuses

Each category serves a different purpose, so mixing them properly is key.
