Combat
Combat is the fighting style every player starts with in Blox Fruits, free the moment you join. It is the simplest style: punches, one tackle and one ground smash, with only two skills. It is also the weakest for grinding and PvP, so most players buy Dark Step, Electric or Water Kung Fu quickly. Combat comes back into play for Advanced Combat.

Combat moves, stats and Instinct
- Tap
- Four punches: a right hook, a left hook, an uppercut and a straight punch.
- Z
- You dash forward and tackle nearby enemies, knocking them back a long way and leaving a whirlwind behind you.
- It costs less energy than a normal dash and carries you further, which helps low-level players save energy.

How do you get Combat?
Every player starts with Combat, so there is nothing to buy. If you swapped it away, the Remove Blox Fruit NPC in the Prison gives it back for 50,000 Beli. Once you own Advanced Combat, the Secrets Master in Middle Town hands Combat back too. The table lists what the "Remove my fighting style" option asks for.
What you need to learn Combat
- 50,000 Beli.
- Every island secret in the First Sea finished, and every island visited that the Secrets Master named when you chose "Tell me some stories", using the Middle Town teleporter.
- Your Blox Fruit removed first, with the same NPC. The "Remove my fighting style" option then appears and hands you Combat.
