The Dark Blox Fruit is an Elemental-type Blox Fruit. It costs 500,000, or
950 from the Blox Fruit Dealer. It can also be obtained with a small chance from the Blox Fruits Dealer Cousin. The Dark Fruit is used by the Raid Boss, Darkbeard in the game, as well as the Possesed Mummy NPCs. This fruit was added in the First Update . The Dark fruit has a 15% chance of being in stock, and a 8.5% chance of spawning in-game.
It is considered as one of the best fruits when fighting against other users when it is awakened (Dark is usually with a sword and/or gun) due to its long stuns and teleport move. Dark Showcase.

Pros and Cons
Pros | Cons |
---|---|
Really good stuns, making it an excellent choice for sword mains or even gun mains. | The awaken X and C move cannot deal good damage unless held, and people can counter these moves (if you keep holding and miss). |
Works well regardless of stat distribution (since your sword can finish your opponent, if you're a sword main). | Most of its moves freeze you in place so if the enemy dodges, they can easily hit you (except awakened X and awakened C since they need to be held. Unawaken X can move but you can't dash or use any other moves so if you fall in water, you die). |
Decent damage, so coupled with it's amazing stuns, it is still a good fruit for fruit mains. | Dimensional Slash has a tiny hitbox, making players with bad aim miss their shots. |
Makes it easy to fight Bosses since it flings them away from you (unless awaken x). | Dark doesn't have very much range. |
Extremely good for PvP (if you know how to use it properly). | Despite being one of the best (if not the best) comboing fruits in the game, Fishman V3 or Cyborg V3 can counter these combos with their abilities, especially Cyborg because the Dark awakened X and C moves need to be held, so its V3 ability can disrupt this moves and escape a potential combo. |
Good for combos. | Unawakened Dark isn't that great of a choice for aerial combat. |
Good for grinding because of the Elemental effect. | Water, as with all fruits except Ice (unless you have Fish V2 or V3). |
Awakened Dark's X, C, and V move all break Observation on direct hits. | V1 C, V2 Z and V1 Z have bad hitboxes. |
Awakened X and C are moves that require you to hold for full damage, you can cancel the move if you missed, which will allow you to escape before your opponents take advantage of your momentary inability to move. This is also helpful for grinding bosses where you can deal tiny damage to the boss when its extremely low health so you can use the weapon you want to grind with 1 sword or gun stat. | Awakened V has massive endlag, so you will be punished if you miss. |
Low mastery requirements so new players can get its full moveset easier. |

Honestly, this fruit seems very underpowered compared to its cheaper counterparts (Note - Smoke is a very early starter fruit, and Dark V1 can't be compared to it) (Sand, Flame, and Ice)

It is an amazing fruit. Z and V knockback so they are not that good for grinding. However, X and C both got fast cooldown. And you can use X to pull the NPCs that you just knock back with Z, or use C to grab the NPCs that are about to be thrown away by V move.
For PvP, Dark’s combo potential is insane. X stuns and has a good hitbox but you the player needs to be close to the X skill for it to break Observation. C also has a good stun and a good hitbox. Dark is amazing for sword and gun main, and it can be decent if used by fruit mains. Not to mention the F move is a teleport move that has a decent cooldown which may help you dodge, escape, or rush your enemy and it can be an extra soru as well. Although X and C doesn't Observation break, it can drain Observation really fast due to how fast the damage goes (if you hold the move). |

Trivia/Notes
- Dark Fruit is not good for aerial combat (unawakened), thus Skypian race would be an effective counter.
- To fully awaken this fruit, you will need
14,500.
- The Dark raid NPCs have low damage but you have a high chance of death if you get stuck in a Dark user’s black hole move, since it keeps you in place and allows the rest of the Raid NPCs to attack you freely. It is recommended to have a Buddha user help you in this raid.
- To the average eye, there is only one mobility move. However skilled players can take advantage of another potential mobility move, which is the awakened z move, "Dimensional Slash." In a fight, you can confuse enemies by using Dimensional Slash on an enemy to quickly teleport away(Useless when there are no npcs nearby).
- Dark X hitbox was nerfed in Update 17.2.
