The Complete Guide to Blox Fruits Fighting Styles: Locations, Costs, and Mastery Requirements

In the vast oceans of Blox Fruits, mastering your combat potential is the difference between ruling the seas and being sent back to the docks. While many players focus solely on fruit powers, understanding the various blox fruits fighting styles is essential for high-level PvP and efficient grinding. These blox fruits fighting styles offer unique utility, stun capabilities, and damage outputs that complement your fruits and swords. With 12 distinct styles currently available, ranging from the basic starting moves to the legendary Sanguine Art, knowing which one to pursue can significantly impact your progression through the Three Seas.

Understanding Combat Mechanics in Blox Fruits

Before diving into the specific styles, it is important to understand where fighting styles sit within the game's combat hierarchy. There are four primary ways to deal damage in the game. While fruits are the most popular choice among the community—with player reports from a wikiHow poll of nearly 700 readers suggesting that 54% of players prioritize Blox Fruit stats—fighting styles offer a level of utility that other methods often lack.

Most fighting styles consist of three unique moves. This is more than the two moves typically found on swords and guns, though fewer than the four or five moves associated with most Blox Fruits. A critical mechanic to remember is that every player begins with the "Combat" style. However, once you learn a new style, Combat is overwritten and cannot be relearned. Fortunately, every other style you unlock can be switched back to for free at any time by visiting the respective teacher.

First Sea Fighting Styles: The Foundations

For new players starting their journey, the transition away from the default Combat style is the first major milestone. The First Sea offers three primary styles that serve as the prerequisites for almost every advanced style found later in the game. These are often referred to as the "elemental" or "basic" styles.

The Starter Styles

The following table outlines the initial upgrades available to players in the First Sea. These are relatively affordable and provide a significant power boost over the default Combat moveset.

Dark Step is highly recommended for early farming. It is the cheapest upgrade and deals significantly more damage than Combat. It also serves as the foundation for the Second Sea's Death Step.

Electric is a favorite for beginners because its abilities have the unique property of being able to damage Sea Beasts. It is the prerequisite for the high-mobility Electric Claw style.

Water Kung Fu, despite its higher price tag, is widely considered the best First Sea style for grinding. It features high damage output and a low attack cooldown, making it incredibly efficient for clearing mobs. It eventually evolves into Sharkman Karate.

Second Sea Fighting Styles: The Mastery Grind

Upon entering the Second Sea, the requirements for blox fruits fighting styles become more complex. You are no longer just spending Beli; you now need Fragments and high Mastery levels in previous styles. This is where the "grind" truly begins for many players.

Dragon Breath and Superhuman

Dragon Breath is unique because it is the first style purchased with Fragments rather than Beli. It is taught by Sabi in the Kingdom of Rose for 1,500 Fragments. While it offers excellent range and damage, community reports suggest its attack speed is slower than the First Sea alternatives.

Superhuman is the first "composite" style. To unlock it, you must visit the Martial Arts Master in a cave at Snow Mountain. You will need $3,000,000 and 300+ Mastery in Dark Step, Electric, Water Kung Fu, and Dragon Breath. While the unlock process is time-consuming, Superhuman is a necessary stepping stone for the endgame Godhuman style.

The Upgraded Classics

The Second Sea also allows you to upgrade your First Sea styles into more powerful versions.

• Death Step: Taught by Phoeyu, the Reformed at the Ice Castle. You need 400 Mastery in Dark Step, $2,500,000, 5,000 Fragments, and a Library Key. It is excellent for bounty hunting and PvP combos.
• Sharkman Karate: Taught by Daigrock, the Sharkman at Forgotten Island. Requirements include $2,500,000, 5,000 Fragments, and a Water Key (dropped by the Tide Keeper boss). Player experience suggests this is one of the best styles for grinding when paired with the Buddha Fruit due to its speed.

Third Sea Fighting Styles: The Endgame

The Third Sea is home to the most powerful blox fruits fighting styles in the game. These styles are designed for difficult content, including high-tier PvP and Sea Events. They require not only money and fragments but also rare materials dropped by NPCs and bosses.

Electric Claw and Dragon Talon

Electric Claw is found on the Floating Turtle and requires 400 Mastery in the basic Electric style. It is prized for its high mobility and damage, though the Mastery requirement is a significant hurdle for many.

Dragon Talon is taught by Uzoth at Hydra Island. You must provide a Fire Essence (obtained from the Death King) and have 400 Mastery in Dragon Breath. It features large hitboxes and high damage, though its high knockback can sometimes make grinding difficult compared to Sharkman Karate.

The Pinnacle: Godhuman and Sanguine Art

Godhuman is widely considered the best PvP style in the game. It inflicts heavy stun and massive damage. However, the unlock process is legendary for its difficulty. You must have 400 Mastery in Superhuman, Death Step, Sharkman Karate, Electric Claw, and Dragon Talon. Additionally, the Ancient Monk requires a list of materials:

• 10 Dragon Scales
• 20 Fish Tails
• 10 Mystic Droplets
• 20 Magma Ores

Sanguine Art is the most recent addition and perhaps the most difficult to obtain. Located at Tiki Outpost, Shafi will only teach this style if you bring him a Leviathan Heart, 20 Demonic Wisps, 20 Vampire Fangs, and 2 Dark Fragments. Sanguine Art is a powerhouse for grinding and raids, featuring ranged click attacks that break an opponent's instinct.

Choosing the Best Style for Your Playstyle

With so many options, choosing between the various blox fruits fighting styles depends on your current goals in the game. Not every style is suited for every task.

Best for Grinding and Raids

If your goal is to level up quickly or clear raids, Sharkman Karate and Sanguine Art are the top contenders. Sharkman Karate's fast m1 (left-click) attacks make it a perfect match for the Buddha Fruit's increased reach. Sanguine Art, while harder to get, offers lifesteal-like utility and instinct-breaking moves that keep you alive during difficult NPC encounters.

Best for PvP and Bounty Hunting

For players who enjoy challenging others, Godhuman is the gold standard. Its ability to stun opponents allows for devastating combos that can end a fight before it truly begins. Electric Claw is also a strong choice due to its mobility, allowing you to close gaps or escape dangerous situations quickly.

Best for Beginners (First Sea)

Stick with Water Kung Fu if you can afford it. The high damage and low cooldowns will carry you through the First Sea much faster than Dark Step or Electric. However, you will eventually need to level up all three to progress toward Superhuman and Godhuman.

FAQ

Can I get the Combat fighting style back after switching?

No. Once you learn any other fighting style, the default Combat style is overwritten and cannot be relearned. However, all other blox fruits fighting styles can be switched between for free once you have purchased them.

Which fighting style is the hardest to get?

Most players agree that Sanguine Art is the most difficult to unlock because it requires a Leviathan Heart, which involves a complex Sea Event and a team of players. Godhuman is also very difficult due to the requirement of having 400 Mastery in five different advanced fighting styles.

Do fighting styles work with the Buddha Fruit?

Yes, fighting styles are arguably the best pairing for the Buddha Fruit. Because Buddha increases your hitboxes and physical reach, styles with fast attack speeds like Sharkman Karate, Electric Claw, and Sanguine Art become incredibly powerful for clearing groups of enemies.

Why do I need 400 Mastery in so many styles?

Mastery acts as a progression gate. To unlock the endgame "God" tier styles, the game requires you to have spent significant time using the prerequisite styles. For example, you cannot obtain Godhuman without first proving your mastery of the styles that came before it.
