This comprehensive guide covers everything from beginner-friendly styles to endgame powerhouses, complete with requirements, locations, and expert strategies to help you dominate both PvP and PvE content in Blox Fruits throughout October 2025.

Fighting styles are the core mechanism of the combat system in Blox Fruits, obtained from different teachers across various locations. Unlike swords with two moves or guns with limited abilities, most fighting styles feature three combat moves that focus on versatility and utility. When you first join the game, you'll automatically receive Combat, which gets replaced when you learn a new fighting style and cannot be relearned.
The strategic depth of fighting styles comes from their emphasis on physical strikes and combo potential. While Blox Fruits typically have 4-5 moves and weapons have only two, fighting styles balance this with three moves designed for maximum versatility. This makes them essential for players who want flexible combat options that work across different scenarios.
One crucial mechanic to understand: using a fighting style on enemies or players with Elemental immunity will not damage them unless you use Aura to bypass their intangibility. This means you'll need to master Aura usage to make fighting styles effective against Logia-type fruit users.
The tier list rankings are based on analysis of game balance, ease of use, accessibility, versatility in both PvP and PvE modes, and overall damage output. Here's the definitive ranking of all 12 fighting styles currently available in Blox Fruits:
1. Sanguine Art - The Vampiric Dominator
Sanguine Art easily takes the top spot with its vampiric life-stealing abilities, featuring the first fighting style to include a drain move with Bloodbane Drain. What sets this style apart is its exceptional M1 range—better than any other fighting style—and its C move that deals the highest damage in the entire fighting style category.
The life-steal mechanic makes Sanguine Art incredibly forgiving in extended fights. You can sustain yourself through difficult boss battles or lengthy PvP encounters without relying on food or external healing. The Z move, Bloodbane Drain, is the first fighting style move with life-stealing capabilities, and when combined with other life-leech items, can reach approximately 47-50% life-leech.
Key advantages:
2. Godhuman - The Perfect All-Rounder
Godhuman is probably the most well-rounded fighting style in the game, dealing great damage with insane combo setups that work well with different Fruits and weapons. Its true strength lies in its versatility—you can pair Godhuman with virtually any fruit or weapon combination and it will perform exceptionally.
Godhuman's moves include Soaring Beast, Sixth Realm Gun, and Holding Heaven and Earth, making it a formidable choice for skilled players. The style excels particularly in PvP scenarios due to its abundant stuns and knockback effects that keep opponents locked in combos.
However, obtaining Godhuman requires significant dedication. Getting Godhuman is one of the most grinding tasks in the game, as you need to master all other fighting styles. Despite this investment, many players consider it the ultimate fighting style for competitive play.
3. Dragon Talon - The Grinding King
For grinding, nothing beats Dragon Talon with its massive damage, wide hitboxes, and excellent AoE that allows you to wipe out groups of enemies effortlessly. If your primary goal is leveling up quickly and efficiently farming NPCs, Dragon Talon should be your top choice.
Dragon Talon boasts big hitboxes and high damage, with moves like Ember Annihilation that can curve and carry enemies away, while Talon Lighter and Infernal Vortex break Instinct. The wide attack ranges mean you can hit multiple enemies simultaneously, making quest completion significantly faster.
The main drawback is mobility. Dragon Talon is not very mobile, and its moves have medium start-up time with significant end-lag. This makes it less ideal for PvP where quick reactions matter, but for pure grinding efficiency, it remains unmatched.
4. Electric Claw - The Buddha Best Friend
Electric Claw is another favorite, especially for Buddha users, hitting hard with fast combos and low cooldowns that excel at keeping bosses and NPCs locked down. This fighting style is popular due to its high damage per click, fast clicking speed, and auto-aiming Thunderclap and Flash moves.
The synergy with Buddha fruit is legendary. Buddha's transformation increases your size and range, and Electric Claw's fast attacks with low end-lag complement this perfectly. You can chain moves rapidly without leaving yourself vulnerable, making it ideal for both boss fights and PvP encounters.
5. Sharkman Karate - The Balanced Brawler
Sharkman Karate is basically Water Kung Fu leveled up, with quicker M1s, harder strikes, and a smooth feel that Buddha users particularly appreciate for its range and combo setups. This upgraded version takes everything good about Water Kung Fu and amplifies it significantly.
Sharkman Karate features a quick and balanced attack style, making it a great choice for players who prefer fast, close-combat gameplay. The style requires good aim to maximize its potential, but when mastered, it becomes incredibly effective in both PvP and grinding scenarios.
6. Death Step - The Heavy Hitter
Death Step is the evolved version of Dark Step, featuring damage spikes, better range, and combos that work well in both PvP and raids. When Maximum Overheat is activated, Death Step becomes one of the most damaging fighting styles in the game, and landing a C X Z combo can be devastating.
The four-move set (instead of the standard three) gives you more options in combat. However, it has a slow start-up time, and its moves are easily punishable by players with good reflexes, so timing and prediction are crucial when using Death Step.
7. Superhuman - The Foundation Style
Superhuman requires mastery over all basic fighting styles, but once obtained, provides a style that hits hard and works in basically every situation. Superhuman costs 3,000,000 beli and requires 300 mastery on Water Kung Fu, Electric, Dragon Breath, and Dark Step.
While it requires significant investment, Superhuman offers consistent performance across all content types. It's particularly valuable during the Second Sea progression, serving as an excellent bridge style before you access the more powerful Third Sea options.
8. Water Kung Fu
Water Kung Fu is a First Sea fighting style with decent range, fast click speed, great damage, and various AoE moves useful for farming. You can purchase it for 750,000 beli from the Water Kung Fu Teacher in the Underwater City.
Water Kung Fu requires prediction and is not ideal for PvP, with the Deadly Shower move requiring aiming skills and Steam-Charged Fist having some ending lag. It serves well as an early-game style but gets outclassed quickly as you progress.
9. Electric
The Electric fighting style features an Electrical Floor that's great for combos and can stun enemies for the entire duration, plus an Electrical Tackle that offers good mobility for traveling. Available for 500,000 beli from the Mad Scientist in Skylands, it's accessible early in your First Sea journey.
The main limitations are slow moves and inability to damage Rubber users. Electric has a small hitbox for the Electrical Tackle, making it less reliable in fast-paced combat situations.
10. Dragon Breath
Dragon Breath is a powerful fighting style with advantages including Dragon Rush that can stun opponents, Dragon Explosion with a large hitbox, and Dragon Flames helpful for knocking back enemies and starting combos.
Dragon Breath is currently the only fighting style with a fragment-only price, making it unique in its acquisition method. However, it is quite slow and close-range, making it easy to counter against ranged weapons.
11. Dark Step
Dark Step is a versatile First Sea fighting style with AoE moves and high damage when Overheat is activated, being the cheapest fighting style at 150,000 beli. It's perfect for beginners due to its low cost and accessibility.
However, it has the slowest click speed among all fighting styles, vulnerability during the Barrage move, and is super slow in PvP, making it unsuitable for fruit mains. View it as a stepping stone to better styles.
12. Combat
Combat is your default fighting style with only two moves and minimal damage output. It has no range and extremely limited utility. Since it cannot be relearned once replaced, there's no reason to ever use Combat beyond the absolute beginning of your journey. Replace it as soon as possible with Dark Step or any other purchasable fighting style.
Your fighting style choices should align with your current progression through Blox Fruits' three seas. Here's the optimal path:
When starting in the First Sea, your aim should be to use whatever fighting style is available to you, as you won't be able to obtain the styles considered 'decent' in the game at this stage.
Recommended Progression:
Start with Dark Step and grind hard to get Electric, then eventually Water Kung Fu. Each upgrade represents a significant power increase that will make your leveling journey smoother.
After progressing to Second Sea, focus on upgrading your Dark Step to Death Step first. This evolution provides a substantial power boost and introduces you to four-move fighting styles.
Recommended Progression:
After Death Step, you have great options like Dragon Breath and Superhuman. Superhuman requires the most investment but provides excellent value as an all-purpose fighting style.
Reaching Third Sea opens a lot of good options including S-tier styles, though choosing one depends on the fighting style you wish to pursue.
Available Options:
The Third Sea represents fighting style endgame. You have S-tier styles available, with choices depending on whether you prioritize PvP, grinding, or all-around performance.

Sanguine Art is one of the most difficult fighting styles to obtain in Blox Fruits, requiring players to be at least level 2000+ with extremely long and tiring prerequisites. However, the payoff is worth the effort.
You'll need to gather these materials before approaching Shafi:
Step 1: Obtain the Beast Hunter Ship
The Beast Hunter is essential for fighting the Leviathan. You'll need:
Step 2: Defeat the Leviathan
Use your Beast Hunter's built-in harpoon to damage and defeat the Leviathan. The Leviathan Heart can be dropped after defeating the Leviathan using a harpoon from the Beast Hunter ship, and you must carry it back to Tiki Outpost to obtain it in your inventory.
Step 3: Farm Additional Materials
While you're working on the Leviathan, simultaneously farm:
Step 4: Visit Shafi at Tiki Outpost
Head to Tiki Outpost in the Third Sea, make your way between the iron bars and enter a tunnel located near the Island Boy NPC. Inside the tunnel, take the first right to find Shafi encircled by red flames.
If you try to talk with Shafi without a Leviathan Heart, he will simply reject you by saying that you lack a cold heart. Once you have everything, interact with Shafi and purchase Sanguine Art.
Sanguine Art has four movesets in total, with the first one available just after purchase, and the rest unlockable by mastering the style:

Focus on mastering prerequisite styles first while naturally accumulating materials.
Even basic fighting styles have value:
Master Dark Step, Electric, and Water Kung Fu properly before moving to advanced styles.
Using a fighting style on enemies with Elemental immunity will not damage them unless you use Aura to bypass their intangibility. Always activate Aura when fighting Logia users, or your attacks will pass through them harmlessly.
If you have a Leviathan Heart and interact with Shafi, your materials will be consumed automatically, even if you didn't wish to. Only approach fighting style teachers when you're absolutely ready to purchase.

Sanguine Art is considered the best overall fighting style in Blox Fruits due to its vampiric life-stealing abilities, superior M1 range, and highest C move damage. However, Godhuman rivals it for PvP-focused gameplay, while Dragon Talon excels specifically for grinding.
Start with Dark Step (150,000 beli) as your first upgrade from Combat. It's cheap, accessible in the First Sea, and provides a significant power boost. From there, work toward Electric and Water Kung Fu.
Yes, getting Godhuman requires mastering all other V1 and V2 fighting styles. Specifically, you need 400 mastery on Superhuman, Electric Claw, Dragon Talon, and Sharkman Karate, plus the required materials.
Yes, all fighting styles keep their mastery even when you learn a new one, and relearning a previously obtained fighting style is free. Feel free to experiment without fear of losing progress.
Sanguine Art is actually easier than Godhuman despite being S-tier. You're not required to have mastery on any other fighting style to learn Sanguine Art—it's possible to learn even if you're still using Combat. The challenge lies in farming the required materials, particularly the Leviathan Heart.
Absolutely. Superhuman serves as a crucial stepping stone to Godhuman and performs excellently as an all-around fighting style. Once you get Superhuman, you have a style that hits hard and works in basically every situation.
Electric Claw is the best fighting style for Buddha users due to its high damage, fast clicking speed, and low end-lag. Sharkman Karate is a close second, offering excellent range and quick M1s that complement Buddha's large hitbox.
Expect 20-40 hours of focused gameplay to gather all materials for Sanguine Art, depending on your luck with Leviathan spawns and material drops. The Leviathan Heart is typically the most time-consuming requirement.
Yes! Fighting styles work independently and can be switched between during combat. Most high-level players use combinations of fighting styles, fruits, and weapons for optimal damage output and versatility.
Death Step is the upgraded version of Dark Step available in the Second Sea. Death Step features all of Dark Step's AoE moves but with higher damage when Maximum Overheat is activated, and is suitable for both close and mid-range combat.
