Buddha Fruit
Buddha is a Legendary Beast-type Blox Fruit that can be purchased for $15000000 or R$5000 from the Blox Fruit Dealer, or obtained through the Blox Fruits Gacha.
Buddha allows the user to transform into a massive golden giant, greatly increasing their size and combat reach. While transformed, the user gains extended attack range for their weapons and fighting styles, enabling them to hit multiple enemies simultaneously from a safe distance. Upon awakening, the transformation becomes even stronger, further increasing its effectiveness and granting additional utility such as the ability to walk on the seafloor.
The fruit is widely regarded as one of the best choices for grinding, raids, dungeons, Sea Events, and mastery farming. Its enormous reach, survivability, and ability to efficiently clear groups of enemies make it exceptionally effective throughout all stages of progression. Because Buddha relies heavily on weapon and fighting style attacks rather than fruit damage, it can support a wide variety of stat builds while remaining highly effective.
In PvP, Buddha is known for its durability, extended attack range, and synergy with powerful weapons and fighting styles. However, the transformation's large size makes the user easier to hit, and its relatively slow movement can leave them vulnerable to ranged attacks and highly mobile opponents.
Overall, Buddha is one of the most versatile and beginner-friendly fruits in the game, excelling in nearly every PvE activity while remaining a strong option for PvP when paired with the right equipment and playstyle.
