Combat
Type	Fighting Style

Combat is the starting fighting style that the player gets when they first join the game.

It is recommended to buy another fighting style such as Dark Step, Electric, or Water Kung Fu quickly as combat is generally deemed to be very bad for grinding and PvP. Compared to the available fighting style options in the First Sea, Combat is generally extremely weak.

Obtainment

Combat is the first fighting style given to players upon playing Blox Fruits for the first time. Combat cannot be relearned after switching to another fighting style, as there is no fighting style teacher, or any other similar NPC that players can learn it from.

Quick Tackle 1 Mastery + -
	The user dashes forward, tackling into any enemies nearby, knocking them back quite far, while leaving behind a whirlwind of air from the swiftness of their attack. This move takes up less energy than regular dashing, despite traveling much further, making this useful if a low leveled user wants to conserve energy.

Ground Smash 20 Mastery + -
	The user stomps their foot on the ground with devastating force, creating a medium shockwave that will knock away anyone within radius, leaving a huge crack on the floor and fragments of the ground tossed up in the air from the impact. This move can slightly stun opponents, though it is not very useful for PvP being very close ranged. When used in the air, there will be a hitbox that goes slightly beyond the normal range of the ground version, being able to hit opponents standing just below the user. However, when used too high, such as when using awakened Buddha's transformation, it cannot hit any regular sized enemies.

Overview

• Pros
• Cons

Pros
General Easy to use. Low end-lag. Slight knockback. Decent combo potential.
[Z] Quick Tackle Quick start. Decent for extending combos. Decent mobility.
[X] Ground Smash Does a decent knockback to put some distance on enemies (If the enemy or player doesn’t charge at the user). Breaks Instinct. Quite decent AoE. Very low startup and endlag.

Cons
General Relatively low damage. Only two abilities, unlike other fighting styles with three or four abilities. Close ranged. Very slow M1s, though it is still faster than Dark Step. Low mobility.
[Z] Quick Tackle Short-medium range, and it can't be aimed up or down. Terrible range compared to many other fighting styles.
[X] Ground Smash Small AoE. Low damage.

Trivia

• Combat is by far the most realistic fighting style in-game as it is the only one that does not use attacks out of magical elements such as fire, water, magic and electricity.
• Combat is considered the rarest thing in the game, as once the user changes their fighting style they cannot get it back.
• Combat is the only fighting style that only has two moves.
• Combat is the only fighting style without an icon, and it is simply presented as "Combat".
• Combat is the only fighting style that cannot be learned back after using another fighting style.
  • Combat can only be learned again through admin commands.
• Combat has the second slowest M1s, Dark Step having the slowest.
• Combat's moves are similar to the [C] and [X] moves of Superhuman and Godhuman.
• Most Enemies use the M1 of Combat.
• Raiders use the [M1] and the [Z] move of Combat.
• Combat has the most realistic idle stance of all Fighting Styles, as it resembles a real-life boxing guard.
• [Z] Quick Tackle cannot hit normal sized NPCs and players on the ground while using unawakened and awakened Buddha's transformation. This is because Buddha's hitbox is above the ground, and as [Z] Quick Tackle cannot be aimed vertically and [X] Ground Smash has a small hitbox, only the M1s can be used while transformed.
