Aura (
Blox Fruits' Haki, formerly called Enhancement) covers your body in black armor that boosts your damage and defense, and most importantly allows you to hit elemental fruit users despite their 
Elemental Reflex. It's cheap and quickly pays for itself: it's the priority purchase for every new player.
How to get it
Buy it for 25,000 Beli from the 
Ability Teacher, in 
Frozen Village cave or at 
Magma Village. No official level required. To activate or deactivate it: press [J] on PC, down on D-Pad on console, punch button on mobile.
Leveling Your Aura
Aura has its own XP system. Two ways to earn it, each giving 1 XP per action:
- Hit an enemy (NPC, player or boss) with Aura active, with a sword, gun or fighting style. Blox Fruits don't count, including "fruit swords" and M1s like
Light's spear. - Get hit with Aura active (doesn't work if your Elemental Reflex absorbs the hit).
Your Aura progresses through 5 stages, each bringing a visual change and a buff. The game doesn't warn you when you pass a stage: disable then re-enable Aura to check, or change your stage in the 
Aura Editor.
At stage 5, you receive the "Iron Man" title (#071) and can learn Aura skin recipes from 
Barista Cousin. 
Skins are changed in your inventory's Aura menu, where some can also be bought in Robux.
The 5 stages and their buffs
The visual depends on your fighting style: with 
Dark Step or 
Death Step, the armor starts at the legs instead of the arms. The buffs from previous stages are kept at later stages.
| Stage | Visual (FS arms / FS legs) | Buff | Required XP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Forearms / lower legs | +10% damage on non-fruit attacks | 0 XP |
| 1 | Full arms / full legs | +21% damage on non-fruit attacks | 4,000 XP |
| 2 | Full arms/legs + half torso | -10% all damage taken (calculated before HP loss) | 12,000 XP |
| 3 | Full arms/legs, torso and head | About -18% damage taken | 24,000 XP |
| 4 | Full arms/legs (top included), torso and head | About -25% damage taken | 48,000 XP |
| 5 | Entire body | About -30% damage taken | 60,000 XP |
Important notes
- If you changed your visual stage in the Aura Editor before reaching stage 5, you won't see any more changes on your body: go back to the editor and re-select stages each time you want to check a level-up (by selecting stage 5, your real stage will show again).
- Downgrading a stage's visual that's already unlocked removes no buffs: it's purely cosmetic.
- Aura boosts sword, gun and fighting style damage.
- Each melee hit given or received = 1 XP. Plan for about 8 hours of grinding total.
Tips to level up Aura fast
Buddha is very useful for general leveling: it encourages you to use swords and fighting styles, the main sources of Aura XP.- Auto-click (or click spamming) with a low-damage sword on low-level
NPCs works great, even better with an Elemental fruit equipped to benefit from Elemental Reflex. - A private server and stat points in defense always help.
- Dark Step's [X] and [C] moves hit multiple times: perfect for farming XP.
Best spots:
- The
Pirate Starter or 
Marine Starter islands, full of low-level enemies. Pirate Starter is highly recommended: 
Bandits spawn in groups of seven. Be careful when AFK, their hits have knockback and can easily knock you off the island. - The
Jungle, where 
Monkeys cluster easily at the island's center, near the quest giver.
Aura skins (crafting)
Aura colors are crafted with 
Berries, which can grow in any bush on the map. There are 8 of them, present in every sea: 
Blue Icicle Berry, 
Green Toad Berry, 
Orange Berry, 
Pink Pig Berry, 
Purple Jelly Berry, 
Red Cherry Berry, 
White Cloud Berry and 
Yellow Star Berry. Example recipe: the Snow White color requires 10 White Cloud Berries. A color only changes the look: colored or not, your Aura gives the same buffs.
It's the 
Barista who crafts the colors. You find him only in 
Second Sea (at the Cafe) and 
Third Sea (at the 
Mansion). 
Recipes are obtained for free from the Barista Cousin, an NPC who appears from time to time, then crafted for 
Fragments. Some skins can even be crafted without a recipe from him.
Rare
LegendaryDid you know?
- On some avatars, Aura changes hand position.
- No connection between Aura and sea events: turning it off doesn't make more events appear at sea.
- Light's spear and Ice's trident are visually affected by Aura. Same for all
Rubber moves, 
Dough's awakened moves and 
Spider's awakened [V], which take your Aura's color. - All swords and all guns change color when a colored Aura is active. Some swords transformed with Buddha lose the effect on the other hand.
- Glitch: with a
Beast fruit, transform, activate Aura, then detransform while leaving it on. Your body no longer displays Aura (whatever your stage) but your swords and guns keep the effect - useful for trolling (doesn't work with Buddha transformation). - Aura skins can be obtained in
First Sea from evening (party) gacha and are kept afterwards. - The Aquamarine color has never been obtainable again after the 10 billion visits event.
- A recent bug changes your walking and dash animation when you equip full-body Aura.
