Bizarre Lineage Update April 2026 — Update 1 Stands & Raids

By Earnaldo Team • April 20, 2026 • 9 min read

Bizarre Lineage finally dropped its first major update on April 18, 2026, after months of delays. Update 1 adds a massive wave of new content: multiple new stands including The World Over Heaven, Made in Heaven, and Star Platinum: The World, three fully built-out raids, the Muay Thai fighting style, a new Dual Personality edict, and a prestige cooldown reduction from 12 hours to 8 hours. For a game that launched with a strong JoJo-inspired foundation, this update doubles down on endgame depth with raids that range from beginner-friendly to brutally difficult.

What's New in Update 1

Update 1 is the patch Bizarre Lineage players have been waiting for since the game's initial launch. Originally scheduled for March 21, it was pushed back multiple times before finally going live on April 18, 2026. The delay was worth it — this isn't a minor balance patch. It's a full content expansion that adds endgame systems the game was missing.

The core additions break down into four categories. New stands give players multiple high-tier targets to chase. Three raids provide the structured PvE content the game needed beyond open-world grinding. The Muay Thai fighting style and Dual Personality edict expand combat options. And quality-of-life changes including a dedicated code UI, improved stand storage sorting, and a reduced prestige cooldown smooth out the daily experience.

One system-level change affects PvP directly: only bosses can now evade attacks. Regular players and NPCs no longer have access to evasion, which means PvP fights are more consistent and combo strings are more reliable. This is a big deal for competitive players who were frustrated by RNG dodges breaking otherwise clean engagements.

All New Stands & How to Get Them

Update 1 adds at least 7 new stands to the game, several of which are tied directly to raid completion. Here's the full breakdown as of April 2026.

The World Over Heaven is the top-tier stand in Update 1. You obtain the materials for it from the Deal Over Heaven Raid, which drops DIO's Diary, DIO's Bone, Requiem Arrow, Heaven Ascended Elixir, Elemental Essence, and Mysterious Arrow. This raid is classified as extremely difficult endgame content and isn't realistic to solo unless you're significantly overpowered. Most players will need a coordinated team.

Made in Heaven sits just below as the main progression stand. It's tied to the Prison Escape Raid, which has a multi-boss fight sequence ending with Made in Heaven Pucci. The raid is challenging but designed as the primary advancement path for most players, making it the first target for anyone jumping into Update 1.

Three New Raids — Full Breakdown

Prison Escape Raid (Main Progression)

The Prison Escape Raid is where most players should start. It's the main progression path in Update 1 and the route to obtaining Made in Heaven. The fight sequence runs through multiple phases: prisoners, guards, Pucci, Ascended Pucci, and finally Made in Heaven Pucci.

What makes this raid more interesting than a standard boss rush is the side NPC system. Throughout the raid, you'll encounter ally characters including Jolyne Kujo and Weather Report who can assist you in fights. There are also keycard sidequests with Emporio and Prisoner Connor that unlock shortcuts and additional rewards. Some NPCs require items or currency to activate their assistance, so you'll want to bring resources.

Deal Over Heaven Raid (Hardest)

This is the endgame raid. It drops the components for The World Over Heaven and is explicitly designed to be nearly impossible to solo at high ranks. The difficulty is tuned for coordinated groups, and the drop table includes multiple rare materials you'll need across several runs.

If you're chasing The World Over Heaven, expect to invest significant time here. The raid demands both gear optimization and team coordination that goes beyond what the game has required up to this point.

Death 13 Raid (Easiest)

The Death 13 raid takes place in the Dream Dimension and is the most accessible of the three. It focuses on movement and basic attacks rather than complex mechanics, making it ideal for quick farming or early progression. The raid drops Nightmare Soul, Darkened Soul, and Mysterious Arrow.

New players or those returning after a break should run Death 13 first to warm up and collect materials before tackling the more demanding raids.

How This Affects Gameplay

Update 1 changes the endgame structure of Bizarre Lineage in three meaningful ways as of April 2026.

The raid system creates a tiered PvE progression path that didn't exist before. Previously, endgame was limited to open-world PvP and stand collection. Now there's a clear difficulty ladder: Death 13 for entry-level farming, Prison Escape for mid-to-late progression, and Deal Over Heaven for true endgame groups. Each raid feeds into the next through materials and power upgrades.

The prestige cooldown reduction from 12 hours to 8 hours accelerates character progression by roughly 33%. Combined with adjusted health stat scaling, this means players can reach higher prestige levels and build tankier characters faster. The tempo of the entire progression system speeds up, which is particularly welcome for newer players who were looking at weeks of cooldown-gated advancement.

The evasion removal for non-bosses is arguably the biggest competitive change. PvP fights no longer involve random dodge procs that could break combos or reset neutral. Every hit you land connects, every combo you start finishes (assuming your opponent doesn't actively counter). This rewards mechanical skill over luck and should make the PvP meta more consistent and readable.

New Codes for Update 1

Multiple codes dropped with Update 1. Note that code redemption now requires level 10 or higher and you need to like the game on Roblox before redeeming.

To redeem codes, use the new in-game code interface added in Update 1. It's accessible from the main menu without needing to open chat. Enter codes exactly as shown. For more codes and updates, visit our Bizarre Lineage codes page.

Updated Tips & Strategies

Start with Death 13 Raid. Don't jump straight into Prison Escape or Deal Over Heaven. Death 13 is fast, easy, and drops materials you'll need across all content. Get comfortable with the raid mechanics on easy mode before scaling up. A few runs here will stock you up on Mysterious Arrows and give you a feel for the new raid format.

Farm Prison Escape for Made in Heaven. Once you're comfortable with raids, Prison Escape should be your primary grind. Made in Heaven is the strongest progression stand you can realistically farm solo, and the raid's side quests with Jolyne, Weather Report, Emporio, and Prisoner Connor add variety to repeat runs. Don't skip the keycard sidequests — they unlock additional drop chances.

Learn Muay Thai early. The new fighting style obtained from speaking with Rodtang adds a melee combat layer that complements any stand. It's especially useful in PvP where stand-only builds are predictable. Having a secondary combat style forces your opponents to respect multiple threat ranges.

Take advantage of the faster prestige. With the cooldown dropping from 12 to 8 hours, you can prestige three times per day instead of two. Plan your sessions around prestige timers to maximize daily progression. The adjusted health scaling means each prestige gives you slightly more durability than before.

Community Reaction

The community response to Update 1 has been overwhelmingly positive, especially considering the months of delays that preceded it. Players who stuck around through the postponements are treating this as a "the wait was worth it" moment. The raid system in particular has been praised for giving the game actual structured PvE content instead of just open-world grinding.

The Prison Escape Raid's NPC ally system is a standout feature in community discussions. Having Jolyne Kujo and Weather Report as combat allies during the raid adds narrative flavor that players weren't expecting from a Roblox JoJo game. The keycard sidequests with Emporio and Prisoner Connor give repeat runs enough variety to stay interesting.

The evasion removal from non-boss PvP has earned strong approval from competitive players. Forum posts and Discord discussions consistently call it the best balance change in the update, citing cleaner fights and more reliable combo execution as the immediate benefits.

The main criticism is that the Deal Over Heaven Raid's difficulty might be tuned too high for the current player base. Solo players in particular feel locked out of The World Over Heaven without a dedicated group, and matchmaking for raids hasn't been implemented yet. Expect this to be an ongoing discussion point as more players reach endgame.
