Hi there! If you're new to this wiki (or fandom) and plan on making an account, please check out our Rules page, for information on new accounts and some rules to follow.
Control allows the user to create a large circular area where they can unleash powerful abilities, such as tossing objects like large structures and boats or zipping around at high speeds within it.
The Control fruit can be a viable choice for PvP due to its versatility, high damage output and combo potential, being good for almost every stat build. It is mostly used in skilled builds due to its moves being somewhat challenging to land, especially the [V] Gamma Rush, and it requires a decently skilled player to use efficiently. It is also extremely difficult to use Control's area bound moves with great effect, due to players usually choosing to simply not enter.
Outside of PvP, however, Control is considered a very bad fruit for all other activities, like Sea Event hunts, as none of its moves can damage Sea Beasts. It requires a lot of mastery which makes it hard to unlock all the moves, especially in the First Sea and early Second Sea.
Control's abilities are confined within the Area it establishes, which remains active for approximately 55 seconds. While inside the Area, the moves of Koko are greatly buffed. Whilst the key is held, the Area enlarges until it reaches its maximum size.
Control Area
1 Mastery
+
-
The user creates an Area. Holding Z will make the Area bigger. When used with Koko, both the Z and X moves of the sword will be massively buffed. This also turns the icon of the fruit in their hotbar green until the area disappears.

Levitate
1 Mastery
+
-
The user levitates an object, or part of an object, within range of the Area, and can then fling it by releasing the X key. The user cannot dash while holding this move.

Echo Knife
150 Mastery
+
-
The user holds out a purple/blue-ish sword, then performs an iaido strike. If hit, a cutscene will trigger where the user performs multiple slashes on the target and then finishes them off with the final blow, launching them into the air.

Gamma Rush
350 Mastery
+
-
The user holds out a green-ish sword, then launches a green projectile towards their cursor. If it hits an enemy, a cutscene will trigger where the user begins to launch green slashes all over the Area, damaging everyone inside of it. When the slashing ends, the user goes back to their physical form and does one final slash, dealing the most damage to the specific enemy who was hit initially

Teleport
250 Mastery
+
-
The user teleports to where their cursor is. The user can only teleport onto surfaces inside their Area. Placing the cursor on a player makes them teleport behind that player.

Good for every stat build such as fruit mains, sword mains, gun mains, and even hybrid builds. This is due to its great stuns, mobility, and high combo potential.
Moves deal decent to great damage.
Fun to use.
Trolling potential is phenomenal.
[Z] Control Area
No end-lag.
Increases Koko's range (Z move's range is increased slightly and the X move range is based on the range of the room.)
[X] Levitate
No end-lag.
The range depends on how large the room is, giving it an absolutely enormous range.
It can be useful for grinding as the move's cooldown is very low.
Good damage, stun and AoE.
The lowest X move cooldown in the entire game.
Can use from afar to cancel moves (e.g. Godhuman C & CDK X).
Pairs extremely well with Control F due to the user being able to repeatedly Levitate then Teleport, applying chip damage or pressuring the enemy.
[C] Echo Knife
Low end-lag. (About one second if missed)
High stun.
High damage.
Has a massive vertical hitbox.
While attacking the target, the user gains I-frames to all damage up to the last slash.
This move usually causes temporary "lag" to the target, which can lead into a good combo.
Drains a lot of instinct dodges (3-5) if the opponent holds it through the entirety of the move.
Covers the enemy screen with slashes which can help confuse them.
[V] Gamma Rush
The range depends on how large the room is.
Insane damage.
High stun.
Great move for grinding and crowd control.
Pretty good for teamers because of its great stun and hitbox.
Gives the user the I-frames immunity to all damage. (Except water and Lava damage, although this has been patched.)
[F] Teleport
Can be used to initiate surprise attacks and combos as the user can teleport behind their targets.
Very short cooldown.
Can abuse in PvP and escaping combos or keep teleporting until the player is out of combat.
Pairs well with Control X due to the user being able to spam X and F repeatedly, applying chip damage or pressuring the opponent.
Cons
General
Extremely high mastery requirements. (Control's mastery is tied with Dragon's and Spirit's as the highest Blox Fruit mastery)
Attacks can only be used inside of the Area, causing this fruit to be easily avoided by simply exiting the area.
The user is vulnerable while putting up an Area.
Requires some aim and precision.
Possibly the worst fruit for Sea Events hunting, as none of the moves can hit large object except for [X] Levitate, which is nearly impossible to use at sea.
Moves aren't good for combo starting.
[Z] Control Area
The user is vulnerable while putting up an Area.
The area only lasts less than one minute, making it a bit annoying for the user who has to activate it continuously during long battles.
Due to the Area's size and noise, it's hard to successfully pull off surprise attacks.
[X] Levitate
High knockback.
Despite its very long range, the flying objects are relatively slow.
[C] Echo Knife
Single target.
Can leave the user vulnerable after the move is completed if they are fighting more than one person.
[V] Gamma Rush
Using while in the air will not freeze the user in place like most moves, with it instead making the user's physical avatar fall down. Due to this, they can easily fall into the ocean or lava and die while trying to use Gamma Rush while over a body of water/lava.
This has since been patched, however on rare occasions it can still occur, so it is advised not to.
Hard to hit.
Due to high endlag, missing it leaves the player vulnerable.
High startup requires this move to be used in combos or predicting the enemy's movement.
[F] Teleport
Teleport can only be used on something solid, making the user unable to teleport into the air.
Can get canceled if the user gets hit before they teleport.
Tips & Tricks
It is not recommended to get Control at a low level, as it has very high mastery requirements.
[V] Gamma Rush has a high mastery requirement (350), so it is recommended to use Cyborg (V4) when grinding mastery for it.
Using Control requires a lot of prediction. If the user predicts that an enemy is going to get close and rush them, a quick [V] Gamma Rush can be used, and it'll most likely hit the enemy easily.
[V] Gamma Rush can be used at the edge of an Area, and the Area will move to be centred on the hit enemy.
[X] Levitate has a low cooldown. This can be combined with gear such as the Zebra Cap / Choppa, and Ghoul's V3 ability to lower the cooldown even further, effectively making the user able to spam it.
The heavy knockback from [X] Levitate can be nullified with a stunning move, such as Soul Cane's Soul Beam, Shizu's True Quiet Rush, or even Control’s [C] Echo Knife.
[X] Levitate is the most dangerous in Graveyard Island because of the nearby sea stacks that can be used as miniature nuclear bombs that are able to level the entire island. Other islands with objects like this are Snow Mountain's bridge (this includes the rope) and Castle on the Sea's towers, though Graveyard is the best because there are so many sea stacks compared to the other two islands.
Control is the second fruit that buffs swords, the first being Buddha.
The largest thing that Control's [X] Levitate can lift (as of Update 24) are the three towers next to rip_indra's room on Castle on the Sea. However, it is very hard to control because of their massive size. However, if used right, it can nuke the entire area, essentially making it useful in combat, especially against teamers.
It is recommended to learn fighting style - sword - gun combos due to the enemy being able to stay outside of the user’s Room so they couldn't use any of Control’s moves.
Control’s [X] Levitate can pick up a part of Yeti's ice platforms.
Control is the first fruit to have a cutscene, the second one being Gravity.
At extremely high pings, the player may be able to notice the [V] Gamma Rush utilizes a sword bearing glaring resemblance to Koko, with the sheath being decorated with green four leaf clovers.
Due to a recent discovery, the record of the largest item control can lift has been broken yet again. Due to some strange assembly, Control's [X] Levitate can grab over half of the entire lines of the bridge connecting Green Zone and the Kingdom of Rose, the resulting explosion is almost as large as the Snow Mountains itself, being able to easily devastate the entire area.
Most probably caused by an oversight, Control's [V] Gamma Rush, has a strange bug where if the user holds it for over 30 seconds, they stop being held in place. They can walk out of the field, and anywhere they please, all while holding the move (as long as the user holds the move, they cannot jump, dash, or use instinct dodges). When let go, the move will perform without a cutscene, with the player losing their avatar for a short while and being able to move, until the final hit where they re-appear. Doing this also ends the earlier field.
This glitch is likely the result of Control being an extremely old fruit, being older than the Third Sea itself.

Trivia
General
Control is seen by the community as a fun, though skilled, fruit to use.
Control is one of the fruits that have two icons, the other being Dragon. The other icon can be shown in the inventory when the Control Area move is activated, instead of its usual blue, it will be green.
Control and Buddha are the only fruits that buff weapons.
Control is the only fruit that cannot deal damage to large objects with any of its moves.
Control is the first fruit with cutscenes in its move, being [C] Echo Knife and [V] Gamma Rush. The second being Gravity, with [V] Asteroid Crash.
A rework for Control was confirmed in the official discord.
[Z] Control Area
Control is one of the fruits that needs to have its [Z] move active before being able to use the other moves, others being Buddha and Diamond.
If the user holds down to make an Area while in the air, they can stay mid-air for a short while.
This move used to last for 35 seconds.
[X] Levitate
Holding it below a boss would cause the boss to be stuck on the boulder that is held until it is being released.
Its ability to levitate boats is what makes Control a fun trolling fruit.
This move, when combined with the Choppa accessory, Ghoul's V3 ability (Heightened Senses) and Ghoul V4 Domain Expansion gear, has the shortest skill cooldown out of all of the other moves.
Despite being rocks, the rocks that spawn when going to any Sea Danger Level (except During Rough Sea) aren't usable.
When used on trees, the player will cut the tree horizontally and use the upper slice like normal.
Yeti's ice layer on water can also be used. Although this is not very helpful.
[V] Gamma Rush
This move used to shrink the Control Area to its minimum size. The area would disappear immediately after the move finished. If it didn’t hit anyone, the Control Area would still disappear right away, allowing the opponent to escape. This feature was later removed from the game.
If the user holds for 10~13 seconds, they can move while holding the move and use it outside their control area.
This move has very high mastery requirement for a fruit alongside Dragon and Spirit, which is 350.
There is a bug where the user can increase the damage slightly by holding a weapon with a higher mastery than the Control. This is not necessary if the Control's mastery has reached 600.
There is a bug where, if the user activates the move whilst being stunned, there is a small chance that both the player and the cutscene disappear.
