Blox Fruits Update 7 Guide
Update 7 for Blox Fruits brings a focused batch of balance fixes, a small but notable new fruit, adjustments to item spawn and energy costs, and quality‑of‑life patches. This short guide explains what changed, how players reacted, and practical tips for adapting. It highlights the new Paw fruit, the targeted nerfs to Light, and server spawn updates that affect how you farm fruits. Read the overview, then dive into specific changes, expectations, and a short FAQ that answers the most common questions.

Overview

Update 7 is primarily a balance and maintenance update rather than a content expansion. The patch is centered on smoothing out overpowered mechanics, tightening exploit vectors, and introducing one new fruit. Players can expect modest gameplay shifts rather than new islands, fighting styles, or major weapon drops. The changes make the game more stable and slightly alter how certain abilities and items behave in combat.

Release date

The main purpose of Update 6 was to create a stronger foundation for competitive play. While no new fruits or fighting styles were introduced, several existing abilities were redesigned to improve balance and flow. These reworks made combat smoother and encouraged strategic variety across all fighting styles and fruit combinations.

Fruit Reworks and Balance Adjustments

Release date: August 11, 2019.

That is the date when Update 7 was deployed. It is useful for historical reference and for tracking how later updates built on these changes.

New fruit

Paw fruit — a compact addition in this patch. The Paw fruit introduced a fresh move set focused on quick bursts and melee support rather than long-range control. Players who collect Paw should treat it as a utility fruit for aggressive rotations and short combos rather than a sustained damage dealer. Expect to use it alongside close-range swords or as a secondary fruit for mobility and pressure.

Tips: farm smart by checking fruit spawns frequently; pair Paw with fast weapons or a secondary fruit that offers range or crowd control.

Fighting styles and swords

This update did not add a new fighting style. No large sword drops or major weapon classes were introduced in Update 7. Instead, the patch tuned existing weapons and gave selective buffs to some sword variants.

  • No new fighting style: If you were hoping for a new hand‑to‑hand style, it wasn't part of this release.
  • Sword adjustments: Certain swords received quality adjustments and one notable saber variant saw a targeted buff to make it more competitive.

Items and spawn changes

The patch made practical changes to how fruits and items spawn to reduce exploit behavior. VIP servers were limited in how many fruits could spawn simultaneously, and mechanics were changed to stop players from stacking to claim multiple fruit spawns. These tweaks aim to make fruit farming fairer for everyone.

Practical result: fruit farming routines needed slight adjustments. Expect fewer opportunities to reliably solo-farm many fruits in private servers without changing tactics.

Balance changes and nerfs

Update 7 targeted overpowered mechanics with several adjustments:

  • Light fruit flight nerf: Flight speed was scaled with the user’s current health. This reduces runaway speed when at low health and tempers the fruit’s dominance in high-speed combat.
  • Move interruption: Holding a move can now be interrupted by taking damage, meaning charged or held skills are less safe to cast in risky fights.
  • Phoenix form energy cost: The full-body phoenix energy drain was changed to scale with maximum energy, making the cost proportional and preventing cheap, indefinite form usage.

These changes shift battles toward more deliberate timing and reduce the effectiveness of singular, overbearing tactics.

What players expected vs what arrived

Players expected a larger, content‑heavy update — possibly a new island, fighting style, or a wider selection of fruits. Instead, the update focused on balance, a single fruit release, and anti‑exploit measures. Many players welcomed the fixes but expressed disappointment about the lack of new large-scale content.

Takeaway: if you prioritize competitive balance and fair fruit distribution, Update 7 was useful. If you wanted fresh exploration content or new combat systems, you had to wait for later updates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the Paw fruit do best?
A: Paw is best used for short, aggressive combos and close-range pressure. It supports rush builds more than zoning builds.
Q: Did the update add a new fighting style or major sword?
A: No. Update 7 did not introduce a new fighting style or major sword drops; it focused on balancing existing content.
Q: Why was Light nerfed?
A: Light’s flight and mobility were reduced to prevent overly dominant chase and escape behavior, making fights more skill-based.
Q: How did fruit spawns change?
A: Server side spawn rules were tightened: VIP servers saw limits on simultaneous fruit spawns and measures were added to prevent stacking exploits.
Q: Is Update 7 still relevant?
A: Yes for historical context and understanding how balance evolved, but later major updates added far more content and systems.

Update 7 delivered a focused set of improvements: the Paw fruit, targeted nerfs like Light’s flight adjustments, energy cost scaling for powerful forms, and anti‑exploit spawn rules. It was a balance and maintenance patch rather than a content expansion. Players should treat it as an important step toward fairer PvP and fruit farming, and as context for later, larger updates.
