Blox Fruits Update 2 Guide

New Fruits

Two fruits were introduced that changed the fruit meta and offered new play patterns:

• Phoenix fruit — A fruit that emphasizes survival and sustained fights. It adds healing or regeneration mechanics and encourages longer engagements and hybrid builds.
• Spring fruit — A mobility- and burst-damage oriented fruit that rewards positional play and hit-and-run tactics. It opens new combo options with fast melee or ranged follow-ups.

Tip: when a new fruit arrives, players typically hunt spawn locations, trade, or use in-game shops to obtain one; expect active trading and server hunts after release.

New Fighting Style

Electric fighting style was added as a new melee option. It focuses on fast strikes, short stuns, and chaining combos that interrupt opponents. Electric style pairs well with fruits that offer mobility or brief crowd control. Players who want aggressive close-quarter builds learned the style from its teacher NPC and practiced timing for frame-perfect combos.

New Swords, Guns, and Items

Update 2 introduced weaponry that broadened loadout choices:

• Soul Cane (sword) — A new blade with unique move properties that blends reach and rapid follow-ups.
• Refined Musket (gun) — A firearm adding mid-range burst and precise follow-up options for ranged builds.
• Magma Village (new island) — A new zone with new enemies, platforming, and chances for item encounters.

Players often rotated these weapons into PvP and PvE tests to determine which weapons best complemented their fruits or fighting style.

Buffs, Nerfs, and Reworks

The patch changed power of many items and moves to rebalance play:

• Buffs: Rubber and Magma saw improvements, guns received general strengthening, Spike had damage increased on specific moves, and quest experience rewards were raised.
• Nerfs: Dark Blade and Bisento effectiveness were reduced, Quake had a higher cooldown and shorter range, and Air Jump was limited.
• Reworks & fixes: Rubber received mechanical rework, fruit-eating delays were added to avoid accidental eats, and many bugs were fixed (hitboxes, stuck effects, and exploit patches).

Consequence: some long-favored strategies became less efficient while other lesser-used builds gained viability.

How Players Reacted and What They Did

Players immediately adapted in several ways:

• Explore and farm: Teams and solo players explored Magma Village and farmed mobs to test new drops and experience scaling.
• Fruit hunts and trading: Communities organized fruit hunts and trades for Phoenix and Spring fruits.
• Test combos: Players combined Electric fighting style with new fruits and the Soul Cane or Refined Musket to discover viable matchups.
• Rebuild loadouts: After buffs and nerfs, many rebuilt their gear and swap preferences to stay competitive in PvP and boss fights.
• Report and adapt: With exploits patched, players focused on legitimate routes to progression and reported remaining issues to developers.

Best Early Strategies

Practical approaches players used to get ahead quickly:

• Prioritize learning Electric style if you prefer aggressive melee knockups and combo pressure.
• Pair Phoenix fruit with defensive swords or a support gun to maximize sustainability in boss runs.
• Use Spring fruit for island mobility and to create burst windows for follow-up with ranged weapons.
• Re-evaluate old favorites: if your sword was nerfed, test the Soul Cane or shift to a gun hybrid to keep pressure.
