Let’s be real, if you’re not using Black Flash in Jujutsu Infinite, you’re not playing at your full potential. It’s one of the cleanest, most satisfying mechanics in the game. But the timing? The execution? The platform differences? No one seems to explain it clearly.

Whether you’re on PC, mobile, Xbox, or PS5, we’re breaking down exactly how Black Flash works, how to unlock it, how to land it consistently, and yes, how to trigger those juicy Final Black Flashes that feel straight-up illegal in PvP.

At its core, Black Flash is a perfect-timed cursed technique. It lets you deal bonus damage (a lot of it) by activating an attack in the split second when your energy spikes, think of it like hitting a parry or crit just before the window closes.

Every successful Black Flash also gives you Black Flash Tokens, which you’ll need to fire off Maximum Techniques (endgame stuff). Every successful Black Flash also gives you Black Flash Tokens, which you’ll need to fire off Maximum Techniques (endgame stuff).

First things first, you can’t use Black Flash until you unlock it in the Focus Skill Tree. Here’s what to do:

• Open your Skill Tree.
• Drop 2 Stat Points into Focus Awaken
• Boom, you now have 3 Focus Tokens floating above your HP bar (cyan orbs).

Want more uses? Keep investing in Focus and you’ll unlock up to 5 total tokens, which means more chances to pull off combos and Final Black Flash sequences.

Once you’ve got Focus Tokens, it’s time to pull the trigger. But how you do it depends on your platform. Here’s the breakdown:

• Enable Shift Lock (super important)
• Right-click (M2) to trigger the Black Flash window. A blue diamond icon pops up.
• Then, immediately press R (or use a skill that’s glowing red)
• If timed right, you’ll land a Black Flash. You’ll know because it hits harder and looks flashier than usual.

• No Shift Lock here, but timing is still key
• When your ability icon turns red, double-tap it
• You can also tap the heavy punch button when it glows
• Hit it too early or too late? No Flash. Time it just right? Big damage.

• Press LB (Xbox) or L1 (PS5) to ready the Black Flash input
• You’ll see the same diamond prompt appear
• Then hit your attack button (X or Square) just before the timer runs out
• Timing still matters, don’t mash or you’ll miss the window

Once you get the feel for your platform’s input delay, landing Black Flash becomes muscle memory. Just practice in solo raids or lower missions until it’s automatic.

Once you’ve mastered the basics, you can unlock Sparks of Black in the Focus Tree. This gives you 3 new upgraded Black Flash moves:

• M2 + Space (Aerial Slam): Launch enemies or crash them into the ground—drains their Focus.
• M2 + E (Teleport): Dash behind your target and block their healing for 20 seconds.
• M2 + R (Finisher Kick): Hits like a truck and locks them out of cursed techniques for 3 seconds.

Lining up three Black Flashes in under 30 seconds triggers the Final Black Flash, which is… yeah, it hits different.

Black Flash isn’t just flashy, it’s a core mechanic that separates casual players from real sorcerers. When timed right, it chunks health bars, builds up your ult, and just feels insanely satisfying. It’s tricky at first. You’ll miss a few. You’ll whiff more than you land. But once you lock in the rhythm?

It’s game over for anyone standing in your way. Now go. Practice. Flash. Repeat. Let me know if you want a visual combo walkthrough next, or how to chain Black Flash + Domain Expansion for maximum disrespect.
