Speed is the single most important stat in Be a Lucky Block. Higher speed lets you travel farther on the treadmill to reach better NPC zones with rarer brainrots. Without speed upgrades, you'll be stuck in starter zones with low-value brainrots that generate minimal money. Here's how to upgrade speed in Be a Lucky Block and why it should be your top priority.

How to Upgrade Speed in Be a Lucky Block

In the safe zone, you will notice a shop with the name "Upgrade". Head to that shop, and as soon as you are in the proximity of the shop, it will automatically open. The upgrade menu shows your current speed, the cost for the next upgrade, and how much speed you'll gain. Each speed upgrade gives you +1 speed. Your base speed starts at 18 when you first join the game. Every time you purchase an upgrade, your speed increases by 1, so buying 10 upgrades takes you from 18 speed to 28 speed.

  • Click the upgrade option to purchase speed. The cost is deducted from your current money balance, and your speed increases immediately. You'll see the new speed value reflected in your stats.

Speed upgrade costs increase with each purchase. The first few upgrades are cheap, but costs scale exponentially as you progress. The maximum speed in Be a Lucky Block is currently unknown, and this article will be updated once the maximum speed level is discovered.

Is It Worth Upgrading Speed in Be a Lucky Block

Yes, speed upgrades are absolutely worth it and should be your number one priority. Speed determines how far you can run on the treadmill before NPCs catch you. Farther zones have stronger NPCs who drop significantly better brainrots. Without speed, you're stuck in the starter zones with NPCs like Noob or Werewolf. These zones give common brainrots that only generate small amounts of money per second.

Speed lets you reach zones like David Bazooka, Knight Base, and other end-game areas. The brainrots from these zones are exponentially better, often generating millions per second. A single high-tier brainrot can earn more than your entire base of low-tier ones.

Speed is permanent and doesn't reset on rebirth. Unlike your money, which resets to zero when you rebirth, your speed stays with you forever. This makes speed the best long-term investment since you only need to buy it once.

Prioritize speed over lucky blocks in the early game. While lucky blocks increase your chances of getting rare brainrots, speed actually lets you reach the zones where those rare brainrots exist. Buy speed first until you can reach good zones, then invest in lucky blocks for better luck. For more such guides, check the Be a Lucky Block wiki page.
