Aura (formerly known as "Enhancement") is an ability that allows the user to coat a certain body part in black armor, improving the user's damage and defense, and allows the user to bypass Elemental fruit elemental reflex.
Aura is cheap, easily obtainable, and especially useful. It is recommended that players get it as soon as possible. To activate/deactivate Aura, the user must press the [J] key (down on D-pad for the console or button labeled Aura on mobile).
Obtainment[]
Aura can be bought for 25,000 from the Ability Teacher, in First Sea from either in Frozen Village or Magma Village.
Leveling[]
Aura has an EXP system that allows it to be leveled up. There are three ways of gaining Aura experience (each gives +1 Aura EXP per action):
- Damaging any enemies while having Aura activated, including NPCs, players, and Bosses using any sword, gun, melee weapon, or fighting style. This does not work with Blox Fruit moves.
- Activating Aura.
- Getting hit while having Aura activated (does not work if the user has Elemental Reflex).
The user's Aura will progress through five stages, each supplying visual changes and buffs to the ability. However, it will not notify the player when it progresses; the way for the user to know when their Aura progresses is to either occasionally turn it off and on again to check if it has leveled up or to change the look of their aura stage through the Aura Editor.
Upon reaching stage 5, the user will be rewarded with the title: Iron Man #068 and will be able to change their aura color (it is given only when the player's aura is next turned on), which can be bought from the Master of Auras. The player must have stage 5 Aura, but the Aura does not have to have maximum EXP. Aura colors can be changed via the Colors Specialist NPC, where they can also be bought with Robux.
Stages[]
Stages display differently depending on the player's fighting style. If the player is using Dark Step or Death Step, their aura advancements begin at the legs rather than the arms.
Stage | Visual Aura (Arm FS/ Leg FS) | Buffs | EXP needed |
---|---|---|---|
Lower arms/legs. | Increases player's damage on non-fruit attacks by 10% | 0 EXP | |
Full arms/legs. | Increases player's damage on non-fruit attacks by 21% (stage 0 buff * 1.1) | 4,000 EXP | |
Full arms/legs and upper torso. | Decreases all damage meant to be taken by 10% before subtracting it from the player's health. | 12,000 EXP | |
Full arms/legs, upper torso and head. | Decreases all damage meant to be taken by roughly 18% (stage 2 buff * 9%) before subtracting it from the player's health. | 24,000 EXP | |
Full arms/legs, full torso, head, & upper legs/arms. | Decreases all damage meant to be taken by roughly 25% (stage 3 buff * 8%) before subtracting it from the player's health. | 48,000 EXP | |
Full body. | Decreases all damage meant to be taken by roughly 30% (stage 4 buff * 7%) before subtracting it from the player's health. | 60,000 EXP |
Note: Once the user has unlocked a certain stage, changing the user's Aura's visual appearance will not cause the buffs of the said stage to disappear. It purely changes the visual effect.
Aura Leveling Tips[]
It is recommended to use Buddha when leveling up Aura, as it encourages the use of fighting styles and swords, a main source of gaining Aura EXP.
If the player is an elemental fruit user, the best way to level up Aura is to auto-click or just spam left click using a low-damage sword and standing near NPCs the player is immune to. However, if the user is not an elemental fruit user, the best way is to go to the Marine Starter Island or Pirate Starter Island, and then gather all the Trainees or Bandits, go to the corner of a stair, and keep getting hit by the Trainees or Bandits. To make sure that the user won't be able to get knocked out, they can hold the W key and open chat to stay on the corner.
If the player wishes to AFK without too much concern, they can gather all the Monkeys in the Jungle to the area where the torch is obtainable (the small room underneath the Quest Giver) and then AFK. In 15 minutes, it is recommended to check the game to prevent disconnection. Lower-level players will need a private server to perform this effectively, however, allocating stat points into defense will help mitigate damage through substantial health increases.
Notes[]
- 1 hit on an NPC or player equals 1 EXP.
- If the user has Dark Step, they can use the ability “Breakdance” or "Barrage" for a lot of hits, which gives a lot of Aura EXP.
- On stages 3, 4 and 5, damage boosts from stage 1 remain.
- Aura is one of the most important utilities to obtain in-game, as without it, the player won't be able to damage Elemental Fruit users (this includes NPCs and Bosses)
- If the user uses Aura on a fruit sword (ex: Light's Spear, Ice's Trident), it will not contribute to the Aura progression. Only using Fighting styles, Swords and Guns will grant the player Aura EXP.
- Another way to grind while AFK is if the player has an "Auto Clicker". The player can grind with combat to get a lot of EXP for Aura. It's simple, just have an elemental fruit and go AFK while combat is going.

Trivia[]
- Most Swords will change their color when a colored Aura is active, based on its color.
- Some Swords' visual designs are also affected by Aura. (Tushita, Yama, Cursed Dual Katana and Rengoku will have the red aura, meanwhile Saddi, Shisui, Wando, True Triple Katana, Koko and Canvander will have the aura color depends on the color the player equipped).
- Some Swords, when transformed with [Z] Buddha will not have the Aura effect.
- Light's Spear visual is affected by Aura.
- Ice's Trident is also affected; however, the user must have an Aura Color. This will only affect the outline of the trident, not the entire trident.
- The same goes for Awakened Dough's fists from the M1, but the user can also change the color of every move effect by having an Aura Color.
