Fighting Styles are the heart of
Blox Fruits' combat system - hand-to-hand combat that you learn from teachers spread across the three seas. The game features 13 of them since Update 30 and the arrival of
Advanced Combat, from
Combat (given at the start) to
Godhuman and
Sanguine Art. Less range than swords, but much more versatility - stuns, mobility, and even life steal.
How to get it
Each style is learned from its teacher for Beli and sometimes
Fragments or materials.
First Sea -
Dark Step Teacher (
Pirate Village),
Mad Scientist (
Skylands),
Water Kung Fu Teacher (
Underwater City).
Second Sea -
Sabi,
Martial Arts Master,
Phoeyu the Reformed,
Sharkman Teacher.
Third Sea -
Previous Hero,
Uzoth,
Ancient Monk,
Shafi. Teachers from previous seas can be found at
Hot and Cold and then at
Castle on the Sea.
How it works
- Fighting styles rely on physical strikes, with little in the way of weapons or superpowers - most have 3 moves, compared to 4 to 5 on average for Blox Fruits and only 2 for guns and swords.
- They compensate with versatility and utility - stuns, mobility, even life steal... and some still deal huge raw damage.
- When you start the game, you receive Combat automatically. As soon as you learn a new style, Combat is replaced, and no teacher sells it back. Since Update 30, the only way to get it back is through Advanced Combat: once the
Secrets Master's puzzle is complete, he lets you swap between Combat and Advanced Combat whenever you want. - For all other styles - if you've already bought one and then switched, relearning it is free.
- Each style keeps its mastery even when you learn a new one.

The game features 13 fighting styles since Update 30. Unlocking everything costs a total of 25,400,000 Beli and 31,500 Fragments: Combat and Advanced Combat cannot be bought.

Progression - evolved styles
The tree is logical - each base style has its direct evolution, the 4 base styles lead to Superhuman, and the 5 evolved styles lead to Godhuman.
| Evolved Style | Mastery Required | |
|---|---|---|
| Superhuman | 300+ on Dark Step, Electric, Water Kung Fu and Dragon Breath | - |
| Death Step | Dark Step 400+ | - |
| Sharkman Karate | Water Kung Fu 400+ | - |
| Electric Claw | Electric 400+ | - |
| Dragon Talon | Dragon Breath 400+ | - |
| Godhuman | 400+ on Superhuman, Death Step, Electric Claw, Sharkman Karate and Dragon Talon | 10 |
| Sanguine Art | None | 2 |
Godhuman also requires access to the Third Sea (level 1500+).
Good to know
- A fighting style won't hurt an enemy or player under
Elemental immunity. Activate your
Aura to bypass this intangibility. - Most styles have less range than swords.
- Combat is the only fighting style without
Destructible Physics. - Moves that break
Instinct are listed on the Instinct page.
Did you know?
- All styles have three moves, except Combat which has two and Dark Step like Death Step which have four. The bonus moves of these last two mainly serve to boost damage from other abilities.
- Dragon Breath is the only style purchasable solely with Fragments.
- Sanguine Art (and probably Combat) are the only styles without a 'V2'.
- Godhuman and Sanguine Art are the only styles that require Materials.
- On each style icon (except Combat), an M appears in the bottom left - likely for Melee, the stat on which fighting styles scale.
- First Sea teachers are shop
NPCs; those of the Second and Third Sea are various NPCs.
