Last updated: May 10, 2026. This guide covers every Devil Fruit in Blox Fruits ranked from S-tier to D-tier for PvP, grinding, and raids as of Update 24 (2026). All rankings reflect the current meta including fruit awakening, transformations, and ability reworks.
With over 40 Devil Fruits in Blox Fruits, choosing the right one for your playstyle and progression stage can be the difference between dominating the leaderboard and struggling to level up. Some fruits are dramatically better than others, and the gap only widens as you progress into Second and Third Sea.
This tier list ranks every fruit across three categories — Grinding/Leveling, PvP, and Raids — so you can make an informed decision whether you are farming XP, fighting other players, or tackling endgame raid content.
How Devil Fruits Work
Devil Fruits in Blox Fruits are divided into three types:
| Type | Name | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Natural | Paramecia | Utility-based abilities, no innate defense bonus. Most common type. |
| Elemental | Logia | Grants immunity to M1 attacks from enemies below your level. Counters most early-game threats. |
| Beast | Zoan | Grants a transformation ability with stat boosts and damage reduction. |
Each fruit has four to five abilities mapped to Z, X, C, and V keys (default). Abilities deal damage based on your Blox Fruit stat investment. Some fruits can be Awakened by completing raids, which unlocks enhanced versions of their abilities with new effects and higher damage.
Fruits also have rarity tiers that affect both their power and their spawn rate:
| Rarity | Spawn Chance | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Common | High | Bomb, Smoke, Flame, Ice |
| Uncommon | Medium | Light, Magma, Sand, Dark |
| Rare | Low | Rumble, Quake, String, Paw |
| Legendary | Very Low | Venom, Shadow, Control, Spirit |
| Mythical | Extremely Low | Dragon, Kitsune, Dough, Leopard |
S-Tier Fruits
These are the best fruits in the game. If you find one, eat it immediately or store it for later use.
Dragon (Mythical — Zoan)
Dragon is arguably the most powerful fruit in Blox Fruits. Its transformation turns you into a massive dragon with enormous AOE attacks, flight, and massive damage numbers.
| Category | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Grinding | S | Transformation AOE clears groups instantly. Flight for mobility. |
| PvP | S+ | Transformation is nearly unstoppable. Massive hitbox, healing reduction, burn DOT. |
| Raids | S | Can solo most raids in transformed state. |
Key abilities in transformed state:
- Z — Fire breath, long-range cone AOE with burn damage over time
- X — Ground pound, massive AOE stun and damage
- C — Dragon claw swipe, huge forward hitbox
- V — Flight mode, fast travel with flame trail damage
Dragon’s main downside is its extreme rarity. It is one of the rarest fruits in the game, spawning only as a Mythical fruit in the wild. Its physical form costs millions of Beli on the street market (player trading), making it inaccessible to most players without significant wealth.
Kitsune (Mythical — Zoan)
Introduced in a major update, Kitsune is a Zoan fruit based on the nine-tailed fox. It is excellent for both PvP and speed-based play.
| Category | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Grinding | A | Good AOE but not as efficient as Buddha for pure grinding |
| PvP | S+ | Extremely fast attacks, transformation gives damage boost and speed |
| Raids | A | Solid damage but squishier than Dragon |
Kitsune’s transformed state grants increased movement speed, attack speed, and a unique combo potential that is hard to counter. Its X ability in fox form creates a multi-hit barrage that shreds through opponent HP.
Dough (Legendary — Natural)
Dough rises to S-tier exclusively through its Awakening. Unawakened Dough is solid but not top-tier. Awakened Dough is one of the best PvP fruits in the game.
| Category | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Grinding | A | Good AOE after awakening, okay without |
| PvP | S+ | Awakened combos are devastating. Stun lock potential is insane. |
| Raids | S | Awakened Dough can clear raid waves efficiently |
Awakened Dough abilities:
- Awakened Z — Dough fist barrage, hits multiple times, strong knockback
- Awakened X — Dough prison trap, immobilizes enemies in a dough cage
- Awakened C — Stretch dough arm, long-range grab that pulls enemies toward you
- Awakened V — Dough tsunami, massive AOE wave
Dough requires raiding to reach its full potential. You need to complete Dough raids and spend Fragments to awaken each ability. The total cost to fully awaken Dough is approximately 15,000–20,000 Fragments plus the raid completions.
Buddha (Legendary — Zoan)
Buddha is the undisputed king of grinding. It is not the best PvP fruit, but for leveling up, nothing else comes close.
| Category | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Grinding | S+ | Transformation makes M1 hitbox massive. Hits 3–5 enemies per swing. |
| PvP | B | Decent in transformed state but outclassed by PvP specialist fruits |
| Raids | S+ | Essential for raid carries. High defense + huge hitbox. |
Buddha’s transformation is what makes it special:
- In transformed state, your body grows larger, increasing your hitbox (and damage intake), but your M1 attack range becomes enormous
- The defense boost from Buddha’s transformation is 70% damage reduction — you become extremely tanky
- Buddha’s M1 attacks hit multiple enemies in a wide arc, making it perfect for grouped enemies
- Buddha pairs exceptionally well with swords — the hitbox increase applies to sword M1 attacks too
Every serious endgame player has a Buddha fruit in their inventory for grinding and raid carries. See our Leveling Guide for detailed Buddha grinding strategies.
A-Tier Fruits
Excellent fruits that perform very well in one or more categories.
Leopard (Mythical — Zoan)
Leopard was the premier PvP fruit before Dragon and Kitsune were introduced. It remains an excellent choice.
| Category | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Grinding | A | Fast attacks, good mobility between islands |
| PvP | S | Very fast combos, transformation gives damage and speed boost |
| Raids | A | Good damage output, can clear waves quickly |
Leopard’s transformed state makes you incredibly fast, with claw attacks that hit rapidly. The Z ability in transformed state is a multi-slash combo that deals massive damage.
Venom (Legendary — Natural)
Venom is a poison-themed fruit that excels at damage over time and zoning.
| Category | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Grinding | B | Poison DOT helps, but kill speed is slower than burst fruits |
| PvP | S | Venom’s transformation is hard to fight. Poison DOT prevents healing. |
| Raids | B | Slower clear speed limits raid effectiveness |
Venom’s transformation V-key ability turns you into a venomous creature with enhanced abilities and a passive poison aura. The key to Venom PvP is layering poison pools (X) and using your transformation to zone opponents.
Spirit (Mythical — Natural)
Spirit offers two distinct fighting styles — you can swap between a blue spirit form and a red spirit form, each with different abilities.
| Category | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Grinding | A | Good AOE in both forms, decent mobility |
| PvP | A+ | Versatile kit with two form-specific movesets |
| Raids | B+ | Above average but outclassed by pure damage fruits |
Magma (Uncommon — Logia)
Magma is the best Logia fruit for sea events and has strong grinding potential.
| Category | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Grinding | A+ | Great AOE, can walk on water, hits hard |
| PvP | B | Slow ability startup limits PvP potential |
| Raids | A | Good damage, V2 awakening makes it stronger |
Magma’s unique advantage is walking on water — you do not need a boat or flight to cross oceans. This makes Magma the best fruit for Sea Beast hunting and sea events. Its awakened V2 abilities add significant damage and AOE to an already strong kit.
B-Tier Fruits
Solid fruits that are good for their intended use cases but outclassed by higher tiers.
Light (Common — Logia)
Light is the best travel fruit in the game and a strong choice for First Sea beginners.
| Category | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Grinding | B+ | Logia immunity helps in First Sea. Damage falls off in Second Sea. |
| PvP | B | Predictable moves, but flight mobility is useful |
| Travel | S+ | Fastest flight speed in the game |
Light’s flight ability (hold V) lets you cross the entire map in seconds. If you value mobility over raw power, Light is a solid choice for farming and exploration. It is cheap and easy to obtain since it is a Common rarity fruit.
Ice (Common — Logia)
Ice is a reliable low-rarity fruit with excellent crowd control.
| Category | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Grinding | B | Decent AOE, freeze helps control crowds |
| PvP | B+ | Freeze stuns set up sword combos well |
| Raids | B | Awakened Ice is stronger but still mid-tier |
Ice’s freeze mechanic is its standout feature. In PvP, landing Ice’s V ability creates a massive ice storm that slows and freezes enemies, setting up follow-up combos with swords or fighting styles.
Rumble (Rare — Logia)
Rumble has strong stuns and decent damage but requires skill to use effectively.
| Category | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Grinding | B | AOE is okay but Buddha/Light are better |
| PvP | B+ | Strong stuns and combos but short range |
| Raids | C | Not enough sustained damage |
Phoenix (Legendary — Zoan)
Phoenix is unique for its healing abilities, making it the best support fruit.
| Category | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Grinding | C | Low damage output for pure grinding |
| PvP | B+ | Healing makes fights long and drawn out |
| Raids | A | Healing allies in raids is valuable |
| Support | S+ | Only fruit with reliable team healing |
Phoenix transformed state (V) heals nearby allies over time. In team fights and raids, this makes Phoenix invaluable. As a solo grinding fruit, though, it falls short.
C-Tier Fruits
Situationally useful but generally outclassed.
| Fruit | Type | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Dark | Logia | PvP combo setups (gravity pull + stun). Bad for grinding. |
| Quake | Rare Natural | Strong AOE but slow startup makes it impractical. |
| String | Rare Natural | Awakened String is okay for PvP but outclassed by most A-tier fruits. |
| Paw | Rare Natural | Niche PvP uses. Bouncy ability is fun but not effective. |
| Gravity | Legendary Natural | Decent AOE but slow. Outclassed by Dragon and Dough. |
| Sound | Legendary Natural | Fun kit but inconsistent damage. |
Dark (Logia)
Dark fruit’s main claim to fame is its Z ability — a gravitational pull that brings enemies toward you. Combined with a sword combo (especially Yama), this can delete opponents in PvP. But Dark’s grinding speed is abysmal because of low AOE damage and poor energy efficiency.
Quake (Natural)
Quake fruit has the largest AOE of any fruit in the game, but its abilities have extensive startup frames. In the time it takes to charge a Quake attack, a Buddha user can clear the entire room. It is decent for PvP zoning but not recommended for anything else.
String (Natural)
Awakened String gets a modest boost to damage and AOE, but it remains a mid-tier fruit at best. The spider web trap (X ability) is useful for controlling space in PvP, but the damage numbers simply do not compete with S and A-tier options.
D-Tier Fruits
These fruits are outperformed in every category. Eat them if you must, but replace them as soon as possible.
| Fruit | Type | Why It Is Weak |
|---|---|---|
| Bomb | Natural | Low damage, slow projectiles, no transformation, no utility |
| Spike | Natural | Short range, awkward hitboxes, low damage scaling |
| Smoke | Logia | Logia immunity is its only saving grace. Abilities are weak and slow. |
| Spring | Natural | Niche mobility, terrible damage, worst fruit for PvP |
Bomb
Bomb is the fruit you get when you have absolutely nothing else. Its abilities are slow, short-ranged, and deal embarrassingly low damage past level 50. The only reason to keep Bomb is as a placeholder until you find literally any other fruit.
Smoke
Smoke is a Logia fruit, which means it gives M1 immunity in First Sea — that is its only value. Its abilities deal mediocre damage and lack the AOE needed for efficient grinding. Replace Smoke as soon as you find an Ice, Light, or Magma.
Spring
Spring fruit lets you bounce around the map, which is mildly amusing, but its damage output is the worst in the game. Spring is often cited as the single worst fruit for PvP since its attacks are easily dodged and deal negligible damage.
Fruit Tier List Summary
| Tier | Grinding | PvP | Raids |
|---|---|---|---|

| B | Dark, Rumble, Phoenix | Light, Ice, Rumble | Ice, Phoenix |
| C | Quake, String, Gravity | String, Dark, Paw | Quake, Gravity |

Best Fruits by Sea
First Sea (Levels 1–700)
| Fruit | Why |
|---|---|
| Light | Logia immunity + fastest flight = fastest leveling |
| Ice | Logia immunity + crowd control |
| Magma | Logia immunity + water walking + high damage |
| Flame | Logia immunity + simple effective abilities |
Second Sea (Levels 700–1500)
| Fruit | Why |
|---|---|
| Buddha | Massive M1 hitbox + defense buff = fastest grinding |
| Magma | Awakened V2 is strong, still great for sea events |
| Light | Still good for travel, but damage falls off |
| Dough | Start awakening it here for endgame PvP prep |
Third Sea (Levels 1500–2600)
| Fruit | Why |
|---|---|
| Dragon | Best all-around fruit for endgame content |
| Buddha | Still the best for grinding to max level |
| Dough (Awakened) | Top-tier PvP for endgame |
| Kitsune | Strong PvP alternative with unique mobility |
| Magma | Sea Beast hunting and farming |
How to Get Specific Fruits
Random Spawns
Every fruit in the game (except the three starter fruits) can spawn randomly on the map. Every 15–20 minutes, a fruit spawns at a predetermined location on the current sea. The fruit type is completely random. Players race to collect spawned fruits, which is a core gameplay loop at higher levels.
Fruit Dealer
The Fruit Dealer NPC rotates his stock every hour. He offers:
- Random fruit — Costs Beli (price varies by rarity). You get a completely random fruit.
- Specific fruit — Costs Robux. You see a selection of 3–4 random fruits and can buy one directly.
Player Trading
In Second Sea, you can trade fruits with other players. Trade values fluctuate based on:
- Rarity — Mythical fruits trade for multiple Legendary fruits
- Meta relevance — S-tier fruits cost more
- Supply — Event-limited fruits (like Kitsune at launch) commanded premium prices
Current approximate trade values (as of 2026):
- Dragon = 4–5 Legendary fruits
- Kitsune = 3–4 Legendary fruits
- Dough = 2 Legendary fruits
- Buddha = 1 Legendary fruit
- Common/Uncommon = traded for small Beli amounts or used as raid chip fodder
Gamepass Fruits
Some fruits can only be obtained via Robux gamepass:
- Dark Blade — 1,200 Robux (technically a sword, not a fruit, but occupies the sword slot)
- Fruit Notifier — Gamepass that alerts you when a fruit spawns, does not give you a fruit directly
Final Thoughts on Fruit Selection
Your fruit choice should match your current goals:
- Want to level up fast? Get Buddha. Nothing else comes close for pure grind speed.
- Want to dominate PvP? Get Dragon, Kitsune, or awakened Dough. These three define the current PvP meta.
- Want to farm sea events? Get Magma. Water walking + Logia immunity makes it unbeatable for sea content.
- Just starting out? Find any Logia fruit — Light, Ice, Magma, or Flame. The M1 immunity will save you countless deaths.
Remember that fruit storage is a premium feature (second fruit slot costs Robux). If you are free-to-play, be strategic about when you eat fruits and do not be afraid to discard a mid-tier fruit if you find an S-tier option.
