As of February 1, 2026, Roblox Blox Fruits remains one of the most-played experiences on the platform. With the recent release of Update 27, the game has entered a new era featuring higher level caps, reworked elemental fruits, and the mysterious Oni Realm.
This guide provides a comprehensive breakdown of the latest features, the current 2026 meta, and the best strategies to dominate the seas.
Blox Fruits Update 27 Guide: New Fruits, Oni Realm, and 2026 Meta
Whether you are a First Sea novice or a Third Sea veteran, Update 27 has fundamentally changed how you play. From the “Lightning” rework to the introduction of fruit experimentation, here is everything you need to know about the current state of Blox Fruits.
1. Major Highlights of the February 2026 Update
Update 27 brought more than just bug fixes; it introduced massive content expansions that have redefined the endgame.
- New Level Cap: The maximum level has been increased to 2,750, giving players new stat points to distribute across Melee, Defense, and Fruit.
- The Oni Realm: A new sub-sea location accessible from the Third Sea. This area features high-difficulty bosses and is the primary source for the new Oni Horn materials.
- Lightning Rework: The classic Rumble fruit has been officially rebranded and reworked into Lightning. It features entirely new animations, a higher damage ceiling, and enhanced mobility.
- Fruit Experimentation System: Players can now speak to the “Mysterious Scientist” to begin experiments on specific fruits. This system allows you to add minor stat buffs and passive effects to your physical fruits through a new crafting UI.
2. Updated Fruit Tier List (Early 2026 Meta)
With the balance tweaks in Update 27.2, the ranking of mythical and legendary fruits has shifted.
| Tier | Fruit | Why it’s Top-Tier in 2026 |
| S+ | Kitsune | Still the king of speed and M1 (left-click) damage. Unbeatable in PvP. |
| S+ | Lightning (Reworked) | The new stuns and global range make it the best for team-based Sea Events. |
| S | Buddha (Awakened) | Remains the “Gold Standard” for grinding to the new 2,750 level cap. |
| S | Dragon (V2) | High defense and massive AOE damage. Essential for the Oni Realm. |
| A | Eagle (Falcon Rework) | Incredible vertical mobility and decent combo potential for mid-level players. |
3. How to Grind Faster to Level 2,750
With 100 new levels to conquer, efficiency is key. Use these 2026 strategies:
Use the “Experimentation” Buffs
Before heading to the Oni Realm, use the Fruit Experimentation system. If you use Buddha, prioritize the “Defense Hardening” experiment. It reduces damage taken by an additional 5%, allowing you to tank the new Oni Guardians without losing HP.
Server Hopping Bosses
The new raid boss, Tyrant of the Skies, drops the Feathered Visage accessory, which provides a 10% cooldown reduction. Because the boss has a long spawn timer, “Server Hopping” (joining different servers to find the boss active) is the most efficient way to farm.

4. The Oni Realm Walkthrough
To enter the Oni Realm, you must travel to the Tiki Outpost in the Third Sea and complete the “Gatekeeper’s Trial.”
- Requirement: Level 2,550+
- Key Drops: Fire Feathers and Moonstones, used for upgrading the new legendary swords.
- Difficulty: High. It is recommended to go in a crew of at least three players, with one player using Portal for mobility and another using Buddha or Dragon for tanking.
