Update 11, released on July 10, 2020, lives up to its name The Awakening Update: it's what introduces
Blox Fruits Awakening, with
Flame, Ice, and
Quake as the very first awakeable fruits. It also brings
Fragments, a currency that replaces
Rare Artifacts and that, unlike them, is preserved from one server to another. The rest of the patch is a massive pass of balancing, bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements, plus an entirely redesigned
Dark Blade.
How to get it
Released on July 10, 2020. It's the founding patch of two systems you still use today to progress: Blox Fruits Awakening and Fragments.
Blox Fruits Awakenings
The first three fruits to receive an
Awakening: - Flame - Ice - Quake
New currency: Fragments
- Fragments make their appearance and replace Rare Artifacts.
- Unlike Artifacts, they are saved from one server to another: you can finally set them aside and accumulate them.
Dark Blade Redesigned
- New model.
- New combat animations, faster.
- Alternative moves exclusive to V2:
- holding Z for at least 0.25 seconds propels you forward;
- X can be charged up to 0.4 seconds for a slightly faster attack, and to Break Observation.
Balance
Energy regenerates faster the higher your maximum energy is (and 2 times faster on the ground).- Killing a player restores up to 33% of your maximum energy and health, depending on the level gap.
- Maximum number of extra jumps reduced by 2 for the Sky race, and by 1 for other races.
- Some gravity now applies to dashing in the air.
- Dash on the ground faster for evolved races.
Last Resort no longer costs you health, and its base damage bonus increases by 2.5%.- Sky race jump height reduced.
- Dash cooldown during
Agility slightly nerfed.
Koko's X launches about 0.04 seconds faster.- Jitte's X teleportation range increased.
- Ice's C stun reduced: it was 2 seconds fixed, it now ranges from 0.6 to 2 seconds depending on the distance traveled before the explosion.
True Triple Katana:- Z range reduced by around 15%;
- Z stun reduced by 0.2 seconds;
- X damage changed from 27 to 26;
- X tornado hitbox corrected and reduced (it now behaves like a cone rather than a large sphere), with an additional 0.1 second delay at the end of the animation.
Rubber's V reduces energy regeneration by 25% instead of 50% (this is a buff).
Dough's V delay slightly reduced, X and C hitbox slightly increased.
Control's C recovery time reduced, making it easier to combo.- Quake's V cooldown reduced.
String's C becomes impossible to dodge.
Dark Coat buffed.
