Blox Fruits Update 4 Guide

New Fruits

Sand Fruit: A versatile fruit with area attacks and medium-range control. In Update 4 its key move was buffed with higher damage and a larger hitbox, making it more attractive for players who favor crowd control and stable damage over niche mobility tricks. Players testing the Sand fruit often pair it with mid-range swords or ranged support to keep enemies inside its effective area.

New Fighting Style, Swords, and Items

Light's Sword: A newly added sword that blends quick slashes with reliable follow-up combos. It suits players who want consistent melee damage alongside a fruit build.

Dark Blade V2: An upgraded Dark Blade progression with revised move properties. Its signature move had a smaller hitbox after balance adjustments, which made precise aim and timing more important for maximum effect.

Fruit Notifier Game Pass: A purchasable tool that notifies players when fruits spawn, useful for players who actively farm specific fruit spawns.

Fixes, Buffs, and Nerfs

The update patched multiple bugs and tuned several fruits and moves. Notable fixes include corrected hitboxes for certain transformed forms and weapons, fixes to menu and combat state bugs, and a patch for weapon dual-wielding exploits. Important balance notes include:

• Sand fruit: improved damage and larger hitbox on its key move.
• Phoenix: larger move hitboxes for better area coverage.
• Light fruit: reduced cooldowns across moves for smoother combos.
• Rabbit fruit: large speed boost while transformed into Buddha was reduced significantly, curbing a major movement exploit.
• Dark Blade V2: the X move hitbox was reduced to tighten its area of effect.

How Players Adapted

When the patch arrived, many players immediately tested the new Sand fruit and the new swords to find viable combos. High-level players adjusted their rotation timing to accommodate smaller hitboxes and took advantage of reduced cooldowns on light-based moves. Players who had relied on weapon or fruit exploits needed to change tactics after fixes closed those loopholes. The faster stat allocation system encouraged respecs and experimentation with alternative builds. Fruit notifier buyers used the tool to secure rare spawns more reliably.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Dark Blade V2?

A stronger progression of the Dark Blade that changes move behavior. After the update, some of its moves had smaller hitboxes, so timing and placement matter more.

Can players still dual-wield weapons?

No. The update fixed a glitch that allowed dual-wielding incompatible weapons. Players must use one primary weapon or lawful combinations supported by the game.

Is the Sand fruit good for solo play?

Yes. Sand offers solid area control and damage that scale well for solo encounters, especially when players prioritize mid-range positioning and crowd control combos.

How was Rabbit fruit changed?

Rabbit fruit’s transformational speed bonus was reduced dramatically, so builds that relied on extreme mobility had to be adjusted.

Does the update stop fruit farming entirely?

No. The patch added measures to slow rapid fruit farming and reduce exploitability, but legitimate farming still works within normal spawn rules.
