Blade Fruit Overview
The Blade fruit grants its user a body of sharp blades, offering complete immunity to sword attacks and delivering devastating cutting abilities to opponents.
Sword Immunity
Blade users are completely immune to all sword attacks, even those imbued with Aura. This makes it extremely effective against sword mains.
Great for Beginners
With low mastery requirements and easy availability, Blade is one of the best fruits for early-game grinding in the First Sea.
Powerful in PvP
Blade's stuns, Instinct-breaking moves, and good damage make it a formidable choice for player versus player combat.
Ranged M1 Attacks
Blade features ranged normal attacks that function similarly to T-Rex, Gas, Kitsune, and Dragon, but without the dash movement.
Purple Visual Effects
All Blade abilities feature distinctive purple visual effects, making your attacks look as dangerous as they are.
Excellent Mobility
With moves that allow flight and quick repositioning, Blade users can easily control the battlefield.
Blade Abilities
Blade offers a diverse set of abilities that provide both offensive power and defensive utility. Master each move to maximize your combat effectiveness.
PASSIVE Blade Reflex
When attacked by swords, the user automatically blocks the attack with their blades. Provides complete immunity to all sword attacks, including those with Aura activated.
Z Razor Cyclone
User spins rapidly while moving forward, creating a cyclone of blades that damages enemies in a wide area. Can be used for mobility and traversal.
X Blade Dance
User performs an elegant but deadly dance with blades, striking multiple times in a circular area around them. High stun duration and good area of effect.
C Saw Shredder
User extends their arm blades and rapidly shreds forward, dealing multiple hits to enemies in a cone-shaped area. Great for starting or extending combos.
F Turbine Flight
User rotates a single blade rapidly to achieve flight, allowing for quick transportation across the map. Faster than running and useful for traversing the First Sea.
TAP Normal Attack
Ranged blade projectiles that can be spammed rapidly. When used in air, the user floats briefly. Great for hitting enemies at a distance and against Sea Beasts.

Gameplay Tips & Strategies
Maximize your effectiveness with these advanced gameplay strategies and tips.
PvP Strategy
Against sword mains, play aggressively using your immunity to sword attacks. Against other fruits, use your stuns and mobility to control the engagement.
Grinding Approach
Use Razor Cyclone and Blade Dance to handle groups of enemies. Your sword immunity makes you particularly effective against NPCs that use sword attacks.
Sea Events & Raids
Blade is effective in Sea Events due to its ranged M1 attacks. For raids, focus on crowd control with your area-of-effect abilities.
Fruit Synergy
While Blade is effective as a stand-alone fruit, it pairs well with swords that have long range or high damage to cover its limitations.
Mobility Tricks
Use Turbine Flight for quick traversal. Rapidly spamming M1 in the air while moving forward allows gliding, with speed based on ground run speed.
Defensive Play
Remember your sword immunity doesn't protect against all damage. Be cautious around fruits, guns, and fighting styles that don't rely on swords.
