01Beginner Guide

Make your character and spend your reroll codes on the creation screen before you lock it in. Learn four keys (M1 attack, Q dash, F block or parry, E infuse cursed energy), run a Soul Ignite mission to contain a field curse, hand it in to Agent Hoshino, then take the first grade exam at the red phone booth. Cursed techniques only come at Grade 2.

02Controls

M1 attacks, M2 or R is a critical attack, Q dashes (hold it to lunge), F blocks (tap F right before a hit to parry), E infuses your attacks with cursed energy, X uppercuts (press X again for rushdown), B grips and V carries. L equips your weapon, J devours a contained curse and P summons your vehicle.

03How to Redeem Codes

Open the main menu, choose Play (Slots), pick your character and click Customize. The code box is in the top right of that screen. Codes aren't case-sensitive, and rewards go to the character you are customizing. Beebom describes the M menu and typing ! before a code in chat as other ways.

04Cursed Techniques

Reach Grade 2 first. Then buy the gas mask from Tomoe in the subway (5,000 yen), pay Jira 10,000 yen at the desert gate, rent Akone's bike through the ravine to the underground town, plant the relay and clear the inner trial. Yuki Sato then sells techniques: Piercing Blood 25,000 yen, Slicing Exorcism 12,000 and Supernova 40,000.

05Races and Clans

The creation screen lists the odds for every roll. Races: Death Painting is Mythic (2%), Mutated Corpse Epic (4%), Incarnated Sorcerer Rare (7%) and Human and Cursed Spirit Common (87%). Clans: Itadori, Okkotsu and Zenin are Mythic (0.25%), Gojo, Hakari, Kamo, Kashimo and Tsukumo Legendary (1%), and the Rare tier is 10%. Pick a clan for its bonus, not its rarity.

06Cursed Technique Tier List

Shrine, Projection and Limitless are the best cursed techniques you can actually roll in Shibuya (S tier, Mythic, 0.22% each). Ice and Blood are the realistic A-tier picks at 11.1%. Flame, Light and Lightning are B (22.06%), Straw Doll and Mechamaru are C, and Cursed Speech and Moon Dregs are D (66.62% each). Heavenly Restriction and Anti-Gravity are ranked S but listed as unobtainable right now.

07Race Tier List

Death Painting is the best race in Shibuya, and it is the only Mythic one at a 2% roll. Roonby's ranking then goes Mutated Corpse (4%), Incarnated Sorcerer (7%), Cursed Spirit and Human (both Common, 87% shared). This order is Roonby's view; shibuya.wiki confirms the odds and the Human, Cursed Spirit and Incarnated Sorcerer perks but gives no ranking of its own.

08Clan Tier List

According to shibuya.wiki, keep Okkotsu (Mythic, unlocks Rika), Gojo (3% Six Eyes awakening) and Kamo (body-swap, +50 HP) as S tier. Itadori, Zenin and Hakari are A for the right build, Kashimo and Mei are B, Tsukumo, Sugawara, Taira and Fujiwara are C, and every Common clan is D (no buffs). This is one fan wiki's ranking; we did not find a second clan list to cross-check.

09How to Get Rika

You need the Okkotsu clan, a Mythic clan with a 0.25% roll chance. Rika arrives when you unlock your cursed technique as an Okkotsu, and the technique is Rikka. The full moveset then depends on finding the Cursed Ring, which shibuya.wiki calls a rare drop with no source or rate given. Technique rerolls can't produce Rikka. This is from one fan wiki.

10Weapons and Crafting

Per shibuya.wiki, a standard weapon costs 5,000 yen to unlock plus 4 Grade 4 Parts and 4 of the family material (Mummy Wraps or Mushroom Caps). A Sunforged weapon costs 60,000 yen plus 4 Sand Cores, 4 Brute Teeth and 2 Hardened Sand Fists. Armor runs from 600 yen (Grade 4) up to 20,000 yen (Special Grade). Only one fan wiki lists these numbers, and the game is in Beta.

11Combat Guide

Equip your weapon with L, close the gap with Q, attack with M1 and add M2 or R for a critical hit. Block with F and tap it just before a hit to parry. Use X to uppercut and X again for rushdown, press E to infuse your attacks with cursed energy, and B to grip.

12Sorcerer Grades

You climb sorcerer grades by passing Grade Exams at the red phone booth. The panel shows your current grade and the next exam you can enter, in Free For All or Gauntlet mode. Grades 5 to 3 are mostly about hunting and containing curses; at Grade 2 you become eligible for your cursed technique and exams become the main way forward.

13Curse Containment

Beat a curse down, then hold E on the contain prompt over it until it says contained. Containment is a separate action after the kill. Hand the contained curse in to Agent Hoshino at HQ for Merit (the lab) or Sin (Black Net). Press J if you would rather devour a contained curse.

14Yen and NPCs

Yen buys gear, desert access, techniques and containment sheets. Known prices: gas mask 5,000 (Tomoe), desert gate 10,000 (Jira), Ofuda about 250 each (Agent Hoshino), techniques 12,000 to 40,000 (Yuki Sato). Containment is the main way to earn yen.

15Map and Locations

The city side has the Scramble Crossing, the HQ building, the red phone booth for grade exams and the subway. Past Jira's desert gate is the desert ravine, the underground town (with Yuki Sato's shop) and the Blood Geysers trial area. Press P to summon your vehicle for long trips.

16Tube Simulations

The Roblox description lists virtual Tube Simulations as one of the things you can do: fight in them. BloxRant says Nightmare difficulty simulations pay big, but warns you need gear and stats first. No guide we found documents where you enter, what it costs or the reward table.

17Hardcore Death

The Roblox description says Shibuya has hardcore elements and that the stronger you get, the more a careless death can cost you. BloxRant says the penalty grows as your grade rises. Neither gives exact numbers, so we can't list what you lose.

18Discord and Trello

The official Discord and Trello are linked from the Shibuya game page on Roblox, by the group Project M. Two fan sites say to use those icons rather than an invite from a search result. We don't paste invite links because Roblox only shows them to logged-in users.
