Blade Ball
After chasing rare sword skins and grinding out spins in Blade Ball for the past few seasons, I’ve learned: redeeming codes fast genuinely makes a difference. The surge ahead of events like the Strike Tournament or big updates (like the World Serpent drop we got in late 2023) means codes get shared, expire, and sometimes break without notice. I lost out on limited skins once by not redeeming in time-don’t make my mistake. Here’s how I now squeeze every possible advantage from new Blade Ball codes, plus what I wish I’d known before burning through half my spins.
Blade Ball codes deliver free spins, weapons, and cosmetics that can seriously shift your early-game momentum. Recently ahead of the Strike Tournament, here are the active codes I’ve redeemed this month:
RAMADAN – One spinSPOOKYSEASON – Free SwordSHARKATTACK – Wheel Spin4BVISITS – Bubble WandENERGYSWORDS – Wheel SpinREBIRTHTLM – Rebirth TicketSUMMERWHEEL – Wheel spinFROGS – Free spinSUMMERSTARTSHERE – Wheel spinI always copy-paste codes (watch out for spaces!) and redeem the moment I see them-these can expire fast, especially event tie-ins. If you see a new event or an update dropping soon, check for new codes immediately after server maintenance.
I’ll admit I wasted more time than I care to count trying to find the “Codes” option my first week (it blends in if you’re focused on matches!). Here’s the fastest way I redeem codes on both desktop and mobile:
Success messages are clear—a claim notification pops up, or you’ll get a “code expired” or “invalid” if something’s wrong. If you see nothing, restart the game and try again. Sometimes, the code window lags behind server syncs during update hours.

Tip: The Extras menu also hides session challenge rewards—sweep through after redeeming so you don’t exit and miss out on daily freebies.
Here’s where I see most new (and even intermediate!) players slip up: don’t burn your wheel spins blindly the moment you redeem a code. Early on, I did this, thinking “free spin, can’t go wrong”—but stacking codes before hitting the reward pool gave me better odds at event-only skins and luck boosts for ladders:
Don’t make my old mistake: Using individual spins on a whim is fun, but the real gains (and mythic drops) came once I started treating spins as a resource to time and stack, especially right after an update rolls out.
There’s nothing more frustrating than a stream of “invalid” errors when everyone in Discord is showing off their new swords. Here’s what I’ve personally run into, and how to fix it:
If nothing works, ask in the official Blade Ball Discord—sometimes codes go out of sync with global server resets. Mods sometimes re-activate them if there’s a flood of complaints, but don’t count on it.
If you want every edge, you need to be quick. Here’s the system I’ve built after a year of code hunting:
Real talk: Don’t rely on random lists online—many are stale or copy-paste expired codes. Friends and official communities are your best source for up-to-the-minute rewards (and the occasional esoteric “secret” code that never gets published widely).
For players gearing up ahead of big events (like the World Serpent or Blade Ball’s first tournaments), maximizing code efficiency can mean having an inventory full of spins and currency right as new content hits. Here’s my prep routine:
Example: Right before the last dual blades update, I waited for the “2x spin luck” event, cashed in five new codes, and then ran my spins on stream—walked away with two legendary swords and one exclusive, all because I coordinated code redemptions with the new pool. Luck plays a part, but smart timing beats spamming codes mindlessly every single time.
If you make code redemption a habit and combine it with strategic spins, you’ll start every Blade Ball event stacked and ready to flex new cosmetics before most of your server. Keep this guide handy for each new update cycle—I’ll be racing you for those mythics!
