The long-awaited Lightning Update has finally landed in Blox Fruits, and it’s packed with new mechanics, events, and systems that shake up both PvE and PvP. From the reworked Lightning Fruit to a new fishing + crafting system and the hourly lightning event, here’s a complete guide breaking it all down.
Blox Fruits Lightning Update Codes, Rework, Lightning Event (Week 1)
Lightning Fruit Rework – Full Breakdown
The Lightning fruit has been completely reimagined around a new orb charge mechanic. Orbs generate passively and by landing attacks, fueling your moves.
Core Orb System
- Orbs = Energy. Each move costs 1–4 orbs.
- Passive regen keeps you supplied, but active hits accelerate buildup.
- Combo depth is very high if you learn to juggle orb spend + regen.
Move Set
Z Skill (3 variations):
- Z1 (1 Orb): Fast projectile, explodes on contact. Best for pokes and pressure.
- Z2 (1 Orb, charged): Pulls enemies in + stuns. Perfect for combo setups.
- Z3 (2 Orbs): Electrified dragon dash. Can turn into a grab combo if close.
X Skill: Creates lingering storm clouds. These absorb lightning orbs/skills to extend combos. Great setup tool.
C Skill: Massive upgraded AoE strike (based on old version but now wider, flashier, and harder-hitting).
V Skill (1–4 Orbs): Charge explosion. The more orbs, the bigger the blast. Maxed out = devastating nuke.
F Skill (Mobility): Teleport dash.
- Base = reposition only.
- Charged = dash + chain lightning damage.
- Up to 4 dashes if 4 orbs are stored.
Advanced Combos
Z + X Cloud Synergy: Orbs enhance storm clouds, extending damage windows.
Z3 Dragon + Clouds: Boosts dragon into a raging projectile you can aim back down.
Orb-dash chains: Use F skill to extend air combos and chase runners.
Verdict: Lightning is now a high-ceiling PvP fruit with mixups, mobility, and raw damage.
Fishing System – How It Works
Fishing adds a full side-progression path with its own gear, skills, and rewards.
Starting Out
- Talk to the Fisherman NPC for your first rod + bait.
- Cast your line, wait for a bite, and then complete the reflex mini-game.
Mini-Game Basics
- Click fast when the bite indicator appears.
- Reel the fish in by keeping the fish icon inside the box.
- Rarer fish resist more and require better rods/bait.
Fishing Progression
- Casting upgrades: Land perfect casts.
- Bait upgrades: Craft more bait.
- Lure upgrades: Keep the fish icon centered longer.
- Fishing level: Increases per catch (rare fish = big boosts).
NPCs & Quests
- Angler NPC (per sea): Offers timed quests. Rewards include stronger rods + special bait.
- Scroll Enhancements: Use scrolls to enchant rods with unique buffs (e.g. cursed buffs).
- EXP Farming: Fishing now grants character EXP — a true alternative to grinding mobs.
Rewards
- Fish (for crafting + food)
- Treasure chests
- Rare fruits (low drop chance)
- Secret recipes
Crafting & Potions – Survival Tools
Crafting is tied to fishing and material drops. Build campfires and use resources to brew potions/foods.
Example Recipes
- Fish Kebab: Gradual HP regen (non-PvP only).
- Lava Potion: Full lava immunity.
- Aggro Elixir: Forces nearby mobs to target you.
- Loot Seeker: Highlights nearby chests.
- Berserk Elixir: Boosts damage vs bosses.
- Fortune Elixir: Increases all money earned.
Tip: Farm rare fish and event materials early to stockpile high-demand potions.
The Lightning Event
A new hourly event tied directly to the Lightning update.
- Timing: Triggers every hour.
- Mechanic: Storm clouds form over enemies, electrifying them.
- Drops: Defeated enemies drop Summer Tokens.
- Scaling: Token rewards scale by Sea (C3 yields the most).
Summer Gacha
- Spend Summer Tokens on exclusive gacha spins.
- Rewards:
- Higher fruit pull rates
- Limited-time fruit skins (rotation-based, replaced next cycle)
- Cooldown: Shares timer with the normal gacha.
Submerged Island – New Exploration Zone
The update teases a brand new submerged island. Expect unique enemies, fishing hotspots, and crafting materials here. Full exploration guides will drop once the community uncovers every corner.
Level Cap Increase
A higher level cap has been added, giving grinders fresh goals beyond new systems.
Week 1 Content Roadmap
The devs confirmed this update is just Week 1 of the Lightning expansion. Expect:
- New surprises each weekend (likely more islands, bosses, and events).
- Expanded fishing + crafting recipes.
- Additional fruit reworks.
Tips to Get Ahead
- Farm Summer Tokens in C3 — best yield per hour.
- Max fishing early to secure rods + recipes before competition heats up.
- Stockpile orbs during fights to maximize Lightning combos.
- Spin Summer Gacha weekly — don’t miss rotating skins.
- Do Angler quests daily — progress towards better bait/gear.
The Lightning Update is more than just a fruit rework — it’s a full expansion adding combat depth, fishing progression, crafting utility, and event farming. With the new systems interconnected, the smartest players will focus on fishing + crafting for potions while farming Summer Tokens to get ahead of the meta.
