2000+ hours across three accounts. I’ve used almost every fruit in this game, awakened most of them, and gotten destroyed by the ones I haven’t. This tier list reflects the current Update 27 meta where beast transformations dominate and certain awakened fruits can still compete.
The meta shifts with every update, but some fruits stay consistently broken. Leopard has been S-tier since release. Buddha has been the grinding king for years. Dragon remains the flex pick that does everything well.
Grab the free 2x XP and stat resets from codes before you start grinding. Those 8+ hours of double XP make a massive difference.
Quick Tier Overview

| B | Light, Magma, Flame, Ice, Rumble, Portal, Sound |
| C | Dark, Quake, Gravity, Love, Pain, Spider |

S-tier fruits dominate both PvP and grinding. A-tier are excellent choices. B-tier are solid but situational. C-tier have significant weaknesses. D-tier should be replaced immediately.
S-Tier Fruits
These fruits define the meta. If you have one, you’re set.
Leopard (Beast)
The undisputed king of PvP. Leopard’s transformation gives you insane mobility, devastating combos, and enough damage to delete players in seconds. The awakening made it even more broken.
Why S-tier: Fastest transformation in the game. Combo potential is unmatched. The mobility lets you engage and disengage at will. I’ve seen Leopard users 1v3 and win consistently.
Best for: PvP, bounty hunting, boss fights
Weakness: Expensive to obtain, high skill ceiling
Dragon (Beast)
The OG beast fruit that still competes with newer releases. Dragon transformation gives you flight, fire breath, and devastating AoE attacks. Versatile enough for any content.
Why S-tier: Flight is incredibly useful for grinding and escaping. Fire breath melts groups of enemies. The transformation looks sick and performs even better.
Best for: Everything. Grinding, PvP, boss fights, exploration
Weakness: Slower than Leopard in pure PvP
Kitsune (Beast)
The newest beast fruit and immediately meta. Nine-tailed fox transformation with insane damage and unique mechanics. The awakening added even more combo potential.
Why S-tier: Highest burst damage in the game. The transformation abilities chain together perfectly. Looks amazing while being functionally broken.
Best for: PvP, boss fights, showing off
Weakness: Extremely rare, hard to obtain
Dough (Awakened)
The best awakened Logia fruit. Dough’s awakening turned it from good to broken. The moves have massive hitboxes, the damage is insane, and the combos are easy to execute.
Why S-tier: Awakened moves are some of the best in the game. Easy combos that deal massive damage. Works in both PvP and grinding.
Best for: PvP, grinding, combo players
Weakness: Requires awakening to be S-tier (expensive)
Spirit (Beast)
Underrated beast fruit that’s secretly broken. Spirit transformation gives you ghost abilities that are incredibly hard to counter. The invisibility and phase mechanics are unique.
Why S-tier: Invisibility is broken in PvP. Phase abilities let you avoid damage entirely. Unique playstyle that most players don’t know how to counter.
Best for: PvP, stealth gameplay, trolling
Weakness: Lower damage than other S-tiers
A-Tier Fruits
Excellent choices that can compete with S-tier in the right situations.
Buddha (Beast)
The grinding king. Buddha transformation makes you massive, gives you insane defense, and lets you punch through content effortlessly. Every serious grinder has used Buddha.
Why A-tier: 90% damage reduction is broken for grinding. Massive hitbox means you hit everything. The best fruit for leveling and farming.
Best for: Grinding, leveling, farming bosses
Weakness: Terrible in PvP, slow movement
Venom (Beast)
Poison damage over time that melts health bars. Venom transformation is tanky and deals consistent damage. Great for players who like sustained fights.
Why A-tier: DoT damage is hard to counter. Tanky transformation survives burst. Good in both PvP and grinding.
Best for: Sustained PvP, boss fights, grinding
Weakness: Slower kill time than burst fruits
Control (Paramecia)
Room ability is one of the most unique mechanics in the game. Control lets you manipulate space, teleport enemies, and set up devastating combos.
Why A-tier: Room ability is incredibly versatile. Great for team fights and 1v1s. Unique playstyle that rewards skill.
Best for: Skilled PvP players, team fights
Weakness: High skill ceiling, punishing if you miss
Phoenix (Beast)
Flight plus healing plus fire damage. Phoenix is the ultimate sustain fruit. You can stay in fights forever and slowly wear down opponents.
Why A-tier: Self-healing is broken in extended fights. Flight gives mobility. Fire damage is solid.
Best for: Sustained fights, grinding, exploration
Weakness: Lower burst than other A-tiers
Blizzard (Logia)
Ice powers with massive AoE and crowd control. Blizzard freezes enemies, deals solid damage, and controls space effectively.
Why A-tier: Freeze is one of the best CC abilities. AoE damage is great for grinding. Solid in PvP for setup.
Best for: Grinding, crowd control, combo setup
Weakness: Predictable moves, countered by experienced players
T-Rex (Beast)
Raw power in dinosaur form. T-Rex transformation has massive damage and surprisingly good mobility for its size.
Why A-tier: Highest raw damage among A-tier fruits. Tanky transformation. Fun to play.
Best for: Aggressive PvP, boss fights
Weakness: Large hitbox makes you easy to hit
B-Tier Fruits
Solid choices but outclassed by higher tiers.
Light (Logia)
The fastest fruit in the game. Light’s teleport is unmatched for mobility. Great for grinding and escaping, but damage falls off in PvP.
Why B-tier: Speed is incredible. Great for farming and exploration. Falls off in high-level PvP.
Best for: Grinding, exploration, escaping
Magma (Logia)
High damage Logia with burn effects. Magma deals consistent damage and has good AoE. Solid all-around fruit.
Why B-tier: Good damage, good AoE. Outclassed by awakened fruits but still viable.
Best for: Grinding, casual PvP
Flame (Logia)
Classic fire fruit with solid damage. Flame is reliable and easy to use. Good starter fruit that remains viable.
Why B-tier: Easy to use, consistent damage. Not as strong as higher tiers but never bad.
Best for: Beginners, grinding
Ice (Logia)
Freeze abilities with decent damage. Ice is good for crowd control and has some combo potential.
Why B-tier: Freeze is useful. Damage is average. Outclassed by Blizzard.
Best for: Crowd control, combo setup
Rumble (Logia)
Lightning powers with stun effects. Rumble has good damage and the stun is useful in PvP.
Why B-tier: Stun is valuable. Damage is solid. Not as dominant as it used to be.
Best for: PvP, stunning enemies
Portal (Paramecia)
Teleportation and space manipulation. Portal is unique and fun but requires skill to use effectively.
Why B-tier: Unique mechanics. High skill ceiling. Rewarding when mastered.
Best for: Skilled players, creative gameplay
Sound (Paramecia)
Music-based attacks with AoE damage. Sound has good range and interesting mechanics.
Why B-tier: Good AoE, unique playstyle. Not as strong as meta fruits.
Best for: AoE grinding, casual play
C-Tier Fruits
Significant weaknesses that hurt performance.
Dark (Logia)
Darkness powers with pull effects. Dark was once meta but has fallen off significantly.
Why C-tier: Pull is still useful. Overall damage and utility outclassed by newer fruits.
Quake (Paramecia)
Earthquake attacks with massive AoE. Quake has big damage but slow moves that are easy to dodge.
Why C-tier: High damage potential. Too slow and predictable in current meta.
Gravity (Paramecia)
Gravity manipulation with unique mechanics. Gravity is fun but not competitive.
Why C-tier: Interesting abilities. Not strong enough for serious play.
Love, Pain, Spider
Various Paramecia fruits with niche uses. Not terrible but clearly outclassed.
D-Tier Fruits
Replace these immediately.
Bomb, Spike, Chop, Spin, Spring, Smoke, Kilo are all starter fruits with terrible stats. Use them until you find literally anything else, then switch.

Common Mistakes
Using Buddha for PvP. Buddha is the grinding king but terrible in PvP. Switch fruits for bounty hunting.
Not awakening Dough. Unawakened Dough is B-tier at best. The awakening is what makes it broken.
Chasing Leopard too early. Leopard is expensive and has a high skill ceiling. Get Buddha first for efficient grinding.
Ignoring fruit combos. Some fruits combo better with certain fighting styles. Experiment with combinations.
Trading for looks over function. Cool-looking fruits aren’t always good. Function over aesthetics.
