Last updated: May 10, 2026. This guide covers every sword and weapon in Blox Fruits including all legendary and mythic swords, upgrade paths, enchantments, stat scaling, and the best PvP sword combos as of Update 24 (2026).
Swords are a core combat system in Blox Fruits, offering a weapon-based alternative to fighting styles. While Devil Fruits provide ranged and utility powers and fighting styles handle unarmed melee, swords fill the mid-range weapon slot with their own unique movesets and combo potential.
Whether you are a dedicated sword main or a fruit user looking for a backup damage option, understanding the sword system is essential for endgame PvP and efficient grinding.
How Swords Work
Swords in Blox Fruits scale with the Sword stat. Each sword you equip provides a different moveset with Z, X, and sometimes C abilities. Unlike fighting styles (which you unlock permanently), swords are items that can be traded, sold, and stored.
| Mechanic | Detail |
|---|---|
| Damage scaling | Sword damage scales with your Sword stat points |
| Ability slots | Most swords have Z and X abilities. Mythic swords have Z, X, and C. |
| M1 attacks | Pressing M1 with a sword equipped performs sword swings instead of punches |
| Equip slot | You can only have one sword equipped at a time (plus a fighting style in the other slot) |
| Trading | Swords can be traded between players in Second Sea and beyond |
| Enchanting | Swords can be enchanted for bonus effects |
Sword Rarity Tiers
| Rarity | Number of Swords | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 5+ | Cutlass, Katana, Iron Mace |
| Uncommon | 5+ | Dual-Headed Blade, Pipe, Longsword |
| Rare | 8+ | Saber, Pole, Dragon Trident |
| Legendary | 10+ | Rengoku, Shisui, Yama, Wando, Saddi |
| Mythic | 5+ | Cursed Dual Katana, True Triple Katana, Dark Blade V3 |
Common and Uncommon Swords
These swords are found easily in the First Sea and are useful starter weapons. None of them remain viable in Second or Third Sea, but they serve as stepping stones.
Cutlass
- Location: Starter Island, purchased from sword vendor for 5,000 Beli
- Abilities: Basic slash (Z), simple stab (X)
- Verdict: Your first sword. Replace it as soon as you find anything else.
Katana
- Location: Jungle, First Sea. Drop from NPCs or purchase for 20,000 Beli
- Abilities: Horizontal slash (Z), vertical slash (X)
- Verdict: Slightly better than Cutlass. Usable until level 50.
Pipe
- Location: Pirate Village, purchased for 50,000 Beli
- Abilities: Wide swing (Z), overhead smash (X)
- Verdict: The first sword with decent AOE on its Z ability.
Longsword
- Location: Desert, First Sea. Drops from NPCs or purchased for 80,000 Beli
- Abilities: Forward thrust (Z), spinning slash (X)
- Verdict: Decent reach, usable until level 100.
Rare Swords
Rare swords offer unique abilities and better damage scaling. Some remain useful well into Second Sea.
Saber
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Location | Saber Expert puzzle, Jungle, First Sea |
| Type | Rare |
| Abilities | Z — Saber Slash, X — Saber Wave |
Saber is obtained by completing the Saber Expert puzzle in the Jungle. You must find five hidden buttons scattered around the Jungle, press them in the correct order, then defeat the Saber Expert boss.
Saber V2 Upgrade:
- Requirements: Have Saber equipped, defeat one of two specific bosses (Saber Expert or another) with Saber
- Materials: 2,500 Fragments + 500,000 Beli
- Stat change: Saber V2 deals 35% more damage than V1 and has a larger hitbox on its wave attack
Saber V2 is the best sword available in First Sea. It remains competitive until early Second Sea.
Pole V2
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Location | Defeat Thunder God (First Sea, Skylands) to get Pole V1. Upgrade to V2 via quest. |
| Type | Rare |
| Abilities | Z — Pole Spin, X — Pole Slam |
Pole V2 has lightning-themed attacks with guaranteed stun on the Z ability. The stun duration is 1.5 seconds — long enough to follow up with a fruit ability or sword combo.
Pole V2 requirements:
- Obtain Pole V1 from Thunder God (Skylands, First Sea) — 15% drop chance
- Reach Second Sea
- Complete the Thunder God quest (defeat enemies, collect items)
- Pay 1,000,000 Beli + materials
Dragon Trident
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Location | Fishman Lord boss drop (Underwater City, First Sea) — 10% chance |
| Type | Rare |
| Abilities | Z — Trident Thrust, X — Trident Spin |
Dragon Trident has extended range (longer than most rare swords) and deals bonus damage to underwater enemies. It is a decent option for First Sea sword users who have not yet obtained Saber V2.
Legendary Swords
Legendary swords are the backbone of most sword builds from mid-game onward. Each has unique abilities and specific acquisition methods.
Rengoku
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Location | Ice Admiral boss drop (Ice Castle, Second Sea) — 10–15% chance |
| Type | Legendary |
| Abilities | Z — Flame Slash, X — Flame Eruption |
Rengoku is a fire-infused katana with excellent damage and a useful burn effect. Its Z ability fires a flaming slash projectile that travels through enemies, making it effective against groups. The X ability creates a flame eruption at the target location.
Why Rengoku is A-tier:
- High base damage that scales well into Third Sea
- Ranged Z attack for poking and chasing
- Burn damage over time on both abilities
- Relatively easy to obtain (just farm Ice Admiral)
Rengoku is often recommended as the first legendary sword for new Second Sea players. Farm Ice Admiral until it drops — with decent luck, you will get it within 10–15 kills.
Shisui
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Location | Wysper boss drop (Upper Skylands, First Sea) — 5% chance |
| Type | Legendary |
| Abilities | Z — Dark Slash, X — Dark Wave |
Shisui is a dark-energy katana with fast attack speed. Its Z ability is one of the fastest-starting sword attacks in the game, making it excellent for interrupting enemy combos.
Why Shisui is good: The fast startup frames on Shisui’s Z make it viable even in endgame PvP. Many top players keep Shisui in their inventory specifically as a combo tool, even after obtaining mythic swords.
Important note: Shisui is one of three legendary katanas needed for True Triple Katana (TTK) . Do not trade it away if you plan to pursue TTK.
Wando
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Location | Various Second Sea bosses (including Diamond and Jeremy) — 3–5% drop |
| Type | Legendary |
| Abilities | Z — Light Slash, X — Light Beam |
Wando is a holy-themed katana with light effects. Its beam attack (X) has the longest range of any legendary sword ability, making it useful for hitting runners in PvP.
Drop optimization: Wando drops from multiple Second Sea bosses, but the highest drop rate (5%) is from the Diamond boss at Flower Hill.
Yama
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Location | Yama puzzle completion (Third Sea, Hydra Island) |
| Type | Legendary |
| Abilities | Z — Yama Slash, X — Yama Pull |
Yama is unique among legendary swords because its X ability pulls enemies toward you. This makes Yama one of the most valuable combo tools in PvP. The pull range is approximately 20 studs, and the pull cannot be dodged if it connects.
Yama Puzzle Steps:
- Go to Hydra Island in Third Sea
- Find the three hidden levers
- Pull levers in the correct order (the order changes per server)
- A hidden chest appears containing Yama
Why Yama is essential: If you ever plan to do sword combos in PvP, Yama is necessary. The pull sets up nearly every other ability in the game. Yama is also one of two swords required for Cursed Dual Katana (CDK) .
Saddi
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Location | Various Third Sea boss drops — 2% chance |
| Type | Legendary |
| Abilities | Z — Wind Slash, X — Wind Blast |
Saddi is a wind-themed katana. It has decent damage but is primarily sought after as one of the three legendary katanas needed for True Triple Katana.
Mythic Swords
Mythic swords are the most powerful weapons in Blox Fruits, with three abilities (Z, X, and C) and the highest base damage in the game.
Cursed Dual Katana (CDK)
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Location | Third Sea — Tushita + Yama quest chain |
| Type | Mythic |
| Abilities | Z — Cursed Slash, X — Cursed Wave, C — Cursed Eruption |
Cursed Dual Katana is widely considered the best sword for PvP. It consists of two katanas — one light, one dark — that you dual-wield. Its moveset includes both ranged slashes and close-range burst damage.
How to get CDK:
- Obtain Yama (Third Sea, Hydra Island puzzle)
- Obtain Tushita (Third Sea, defeat the Cursed Skeleton boss — Tushita drops at ~10% chance)
- Talk to the NPC at the Forgotten Temple with both swords equipped
- Complete the Cursed Skeleton boss fight (solo or with help)
- Defeat Soul Reaper (a hidden boss)
- Craft CDK at the altar (costs additional materials)
CDK abilities breakdown:
- Z — Cursed Slash: A dual-blade cross slash that fires a projectile. Moderate damage, fast cooldown.
- X — Cursed Wave: A sweeping wave attack that hits in a wide arc. Hits multiple enemies.
- C — Cursed Eruption: Dark energy erupts from the ground around you. High damage, large AOE. Long cooldown.
Why CDK is S-tier:
- Versatile moveset with both ranged and melee options
- C ability is excellent for catching dodges
- Fast attack speed on M1s (among the fastest swords)
- Combines well with every fruit
True Triple Katana (TTK)
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Location | Third Sea — requires Shisui, Wando, and Saddi |
| Type | Mythic |
| Abilities | Z — Triple Slash, X — Triple Wave, C — Triple Strike |
True Triple Katana lets you wield three katanas simultaneously. It prioritizes raw damage output, with the highest base M1 damage of any sword in the game.
How to get TTK:
- Obtain all three legendary katanas: Shisui (Wysper drop), Wando (Second Sea boss drop), Saddi (Third Sea boss drop)
- Talk to the Mysterious Man NPC in Third Sea (near the Haunted Castle)
- Pay 2,000,000 Beli
- Submit 50 Bones (farmed from Haunted Castle NPCs)
- Complete the TTK craft animation
TTK abilities breakdown:
- Z — Triple Slash: Three rapid slashes in a cone in front of you. Each slash hits independently.
- X — Triple Wave: Three waves fired in different directions. Great for hitting multiple targets.
- C — Triple Strike: A leaping overhead slam with all three swords. Massive single-target damage.
TTK vs CDK: CDK is generally preferred for PvP because of its versatility and combo potential. TTK hits harder per swing but has slower startup frames. For grinding, TTK is superior because of its raw damage.
Dark Blade V3 (Yoru)
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Location | Dark Blade gamepass (1,200 Robux) + V2/V3 upgrades |
| Type | Mythic |
| Abilities | Z — Dark Slash, X — Dark Wave, C — Dark Explosion |
Dark Blade is the only sword that requires real money (Robux) to obtain. Its base form (V1) comes with the Dark Blade gamepass. You then upgrade it through V2 and V3 using in-game currency and materials.
Dark Blade V3 upgrade path:
| Version | Requirements | Improvements |
|---|---|---|
| V1 | 1,200 Robux gamepass | Base form, good for First Sea |
| V2 | 2,000,000 Beli + 10 Dragon Scales + 20 Fish Tails | 50% damage increase, new abilities |
| V3 | 3,000,000 Beli + 15 Dragon Scales + 10 Sea Beast Drops | 30% additional damage, C ability unlocked |
Dark Blade V3 abilities:
- Z — Dark Slash: A massive dark energy slash projectile. Travels through walls.
- X — Dark Wave: A ground wave that travels forward and knocks enemies upward.
- C — Dark Explosion: A massive dark AOE centered on you. High damage, screen-shake effect.
Is Dark Blade worth the Robux? Dark Blade V3 is very strong, but it is not the best sword in the game. CDK and TTK both outperform it in skilled hands. The main advantage of Dark Blade is that you can start using it in First Sea and upgrade it gradually. For dedicated sword mains who also want to support the developers, Dark Blade is a solid purchase.
Sword Tier List (2026)
| Tier | Swords | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| S | Cursed Dual Katana (CDK) | PvP — best versatility and combo potential |
| S | True Triple Katana (TTK) | Grinding — highest raw M1 damage |
| A+ | Dark Blade V3 | PvP — strong abilities but outclassed by CDK |
| A | Rengoku | Second Sea sword main — best pre-mythic option |
| A | Yama | PvP combo setup — pull ability is unique |
| B+ | Shisui | Fast combos, TTK prerequisite |
| B | Saber V2 | Best First Sea sword |
| B | Pole V2 | Stun utility |
| B | Wando | TTK prerequisite, long-range X |
| B | Saddi | TTK prerequisite |
| C | Dragon Trident | Decent First Sea option |
| C | Saber V1 | Outclassed by V2 |
| D | All common/uncommon swords | Not viable past level 100 |
Sword Enchantments
Once you have a sword worth keeping, you can enchant it for bonus effects. Enchanting costs Fragments (earned from raids) and requires finding the Enchanter NPC in Second Sea or Third Sea.
| Enchantment | Effect | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Strong | +15% damage | Pure damage builds |
| Agile | +20% attack speed | Combo-oriented builds |
| Legendary | +10% damage + +10% attack speed | All-around best |
| Curse | Attacks apply poison DOT (2% HP per tick for 5 seconds) | PvP — prevents healing |
| Unstable | +25% damage but -10% defense | Glass cannon builds |
Enchantment cost: Each enchantment attempt costs 1,000 Fragments. The enchantment type is random. You can re-enchant to reroll the effect.
Recommendation: Legendary enchantment is the most consistent. Curse is excellent for PvP because the poison DOT prevents natural health regeneration.
Best Sword + Fruit Combos
| Sword | Best Fruit Pairing | Combo Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| CDK | Ice | Freeze with Ice Z, then CDK X + C combo. Inescapable. |
| CDK | Dough (Awakened) | Dough prison (V) into CDK C ability. Massive burst. |
| CDK | Buddha | Buddha transformation + CDK M1 spam. Huge hitbox + high damage. |
| TTK | Dark | Dark Z (pull) into TTK Z + X. One-combo potential. |
| TTK | Venom | Poison pools slow enemies, TTK M1 spam finishes them. |
| Dark Blade V3 | Dragon | Dragon transformation knockdown into Dark Blade C. |
| Yama | Any PvP fruit | Yama X (pull) into fruit ability (Dough Z, Venom X, etc.). |
| Rengoku | Magma | Both have fire theme, burn damage stacks for massive DOT. |
Sword Stats: Complete Breakdown
For dedicated sword mains, your stat distribution should look like this:
| Stat | Percentage | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Sword | 50–60% | Primary damage stat — maximizes sword output |
| Defense | 25–30% | Survivability — you will be in melee range |
| Melee | 10–15% | Backup M1 damage when sword is on cooldown |
| Blox Fruit | 0–10% | Only if your fruit is utility-focused (Ice, Dark, etc.) |
Sword main build recommendation: 55% Sword, 30% Defense, 15% Melee. Use a utility fruit (Ice, Dark, Rumble) for crowd control and let your sword do the damage.
Swords for Beginners
If you are leveling up through First Sea for the first time, here is the recommended sword progression:
| Level Range | Recommended Sword | How to Get It |
|---|---|---|
| 1–20 | Cutlass | Starter Island vendor (5k Beli) |
| 20–50 | Katana | Jungle vendor (20k Beli) |
| 50–100 | Longsword | Desert vendor (80k Beli) |
| 100–200 | Saber | Saber Expert puzzle, Jungle |
| 200–375 | Saber V2 | Upgrade Saber after defeating 2 bosses |
| 375–700 | Saber V2 | Still the best option for First Sea |
Once you reach Second Sea, immediately start farming Ice Admiral for Rengoku. Rengoku will carry you through Second Sea and remain useful in Third Sea.
In Third Sea, target CDK as your endgame sword. The grind is long but worth it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use a sword and fighting style at the same time? You can equip both, but your M1 attacks will be sword-based when a sword is equipped. You can still use fighting style abilities (Z/X/C) if the fighting style is selected.
Q: How do I switch between sword and fighting style? Press the T key (default) to toggle between sword and fighting style as your active damage type.
Q: Is it worth investing in Sword stat if I mainly use fruits? Only if you plan to use sword abilities regularly. If your fruit is your primary damage source, invest in Blox Fruit and Defense instead.
Q: How many Fragments does it cost to enchant a sword? 1,000 Fragments per enchantment attempt. The enchantment type is random.
Q: Can I have multiple swords in my inventory? Yes. You can carry as many swords as your inventory allows. You can switch between them outside of combat.
Q: Which sword should I go for first in Third Sea? Rengoku (if you do not have it yet) while farming for CDK. CDK is the most versatile endgame sword.
Final Thoughts
The sword system in Blox Fruits offers deep customization and combo potential. While fruits dominate the meta at lower levels, sword builds become increasingly viable in Second and Third Sea, especially with access to legendary and mythic swords.
For most players, the progression path of Saber V2 → Rengoku → CDK provides a clear upgrade ladder with achievable farming goals at each stage. Dedicated sword mains can supplement their build with a utility fruit (Ice, Dark, or Rumble) and a supporting fighting style (Sharkman Karate for the slow debuff).
