Speed determines whether you survive the tsunami chase after kicking your lucky block in Kick a Lucky Block. Low speed means you get caught by waves and lose the Brainrot you just unlocked. High speed lets you outrun even the fastest waves and safely return valuable rewards to your base. This guide covers how to increase speed in Kick a Lucky Block, why it matters, and whether you should prioritize it over other upgrades.
How to Increase Speed in Kick a Lucky Block
Increasing speed requires visiting the Run Upgrade shop located in the safe zone near your plot.
- Walk up to the shop
- Interact with it to open the speed upgrades menu.
- The interface displays three speed upgrade options based on your current in-game income and cash reserves.
- Click the cash button to purchase the speed bonus.
Each upgrade increases your movement speed by a fixed percentage. The first few upgrades cost relatively little. As you purchase more upgrades, the cost increases significantly. Later speed upgrades can cost millions.
Use of Speed in Kick a Lucky Block
Speed serves one important purpose in Kick a Lucky Block. It determines whether you escape the tsunami after kicking your lucky block. When you kick the block, it lands somewhere on the map and unlocks a Brainrot. A tsunami immediately spawns and chases you back to your base. If the wave catches you before you reach safety, you lose the Brainrot and gain nothing from that kick.
Different zones spawn different tsunami speeds. Common and rare zones trigger normal waves that move slowly. Higher tier zones create faster waves.
As your kick power increases and you reach rarer zones, the tsunamis become progressively faster. Early game you can ignore speed upgrades because default movement outpaces normal waves. Mid to late game speed becomes essential. Without adequate speed investment, you cannot outrun the waves from high-tier zones even if you can kick far enough to reach them.

Is Speed Required for Rebirth?
No, speed is not required for rebirth in Kick a Lucky Block. Most Roblox games use speed or a similar stat as the rebirth requirement. This game breaks that pattern by requiring kick power instead. Your first rebirth needs 1,000 kick power. Each subsequent rebirth requires more kick power than the previous one.
Speed and kick power are separate progression systems. You increase kick power by purchasing and lifting weights. You increase speed by buying upgrades from the Run Upgrade shop. Neither stat affects the other. You can have maximum kick power with minimum speed or vice versa. Rebirthing resets your kick power to zero but does not affect your speed upgrades.

Is Increasing Speed Worth it in Kick a Lucky Block?
Speed becomes absolutely essential once you progress past epic zones. The investment is mandatory if you want to keep rewards from high tier zones. Without speed upgrades, you waste kicks by reaching rare zones but dying to the tsunami before delivering the Brainrot.
Balance your spending between weights and speed. If you only buy weights and ignore speed, you kick far but lose everything to waves. If you only buy speed and ignore weights, you never reach the good zones. The optimal strategy is upgrading both systems together based on which zones you currently access.
