How to do a Rainbow Flick in FC 25: Leave Defenders Stunned!
Are you ready to dazzle your opponents and leave them in the dust with one of the most iconic skill moves in FC 25? The Rainbow Flick is a flashy and effective move that, when executed correctly, can elevate your gameplay to the next level. In this blog post, I'll guide you through the steps to perform the standard, advanced, and flair versions of the Rainbow Flick. Plus, I'll explain how to check if your player is equipped to pull off these tricks. Let's get started!
What is a Rainbow Flick in FC 25?
The Rainbow Flick is not just a move—it's a statement. By lifting the ball over your opponent's head and sprinting past them, you can leave defenders stunned and open up scoring opportunities. In FC 25, there are three variations of the Rainbow Flick:
Standard Rainbow Flick (4-star skill move)
Advanced Rainbow Flick (5-star skill move)
Flair Rainbow Flick (5-star skill move with added style)
Each version has its unique edge, and mastering them can give you a serious advantage in tight matches.
Step 1: Mastering the Standard Rainbow Flick
To execute the standard Rainbow Flick in FC 25, your player must have at least 4-star skill ratings. Note: the controls vary depending on the direction you’re running. For example, if running left to right, backward would be left, forward would be right. Here's how to perform it on your controller:
For PlayStation: Flick the Right Stick backward, then quickly flick it forward.
For Xbox: Flick the Right Stick backward, then quickly flick it forward.
Timing is everything here. Practice the motion to ensure the move is fluid and seamless.
Step 2: Unlocking the Advanced Rainbow Flick
The advanced version adds a bit more flair and complexity to the move. To perform this, you'll need a player with 5-star skill ratings. Here's how to perform it on your controller:
For PlayStation: Flick the Right Stick backward, hold forward, flick forward.
For Xbox: Flick the Right Stick backward, hold forward, flick forward
Personally, I find this one much more difficult to do than the flair rainbow flick which you can learn about next.
Step 3: Adding Style with the Flair Rainbow Flick
If you want to impress not just with effectiveness but also with style, the Flair Rainbow Flick is your go-to move. This version also requires a 5-star skill rating. To execute it:
For PlayStation: Hold L1, flick the Right Stick backward, then flick forward.
For Xbox: Hold LB, flick the Right Stick backward, then flick forward.
The flair variant is particularly effective for breaking through tight defensive lines and adds a touch of showmanship to your game.
Step 4: Checking Your Player's Skill Ratings
Not all players are capable of pulling off the Rainbow Flick. To see if your player has the necessary skill rating:
Navigate to Player Details in the squad or player menu.
Check the Skill Moves Rating. A minimum of 4-star is required for the standard flick, while 5-star is needed for advanced and flair versions.
Why Use the Flair Rainbow Flick?
The Flair Rainbow Flick is not just about showing off—it's highly effective in real-game scenarios. By combining style with precision, it can catch defenders off guard and create space in critical moments. This move is especially useful in one-on-one situations and when trying to beat aggressive defenders.
Wrap-Up
Mastering the Rainbow Flick in FC 25 takes practice, but the payoff is worth it. Whether you stick with the standard version or dive into the advanced and flair moves, this skill will elevate your gameplay and make you a force to be reckoned with on the virtual pitch.
