The Week 3 Blox Fruits Pain Update has gone live, bringing a massive rework to the Pain Fruit along with a redesigned Sharkman Karate, a new event, and hidden abilities tied to a fun minigame system. Here’s a full guide covering all the content revealed in the official update trailer.
Blox Fruits Pain Update Guide – Codes, Sharkman Karate Rework
Pain Fruit Rework – All Skills and Mechanics
The Pain Fruit now features two versions for every skill: tap and hold. Each move has been visually reworked with cinematic animations, and hidden abilities expand its potential even further.
Core Mechanics
- Pain Ghosts appear when using attacks and can be absorbed to fill your Pain Meter.
- Absorbing ghosts resets your F skill cooldown and enables combo chains using Z held in the air.
- A full Pain Meter unlocks a temporary Inner Pain mode:
- Boosts damage
- Reduces cooldowns
- Adds glowing aura effects
Once your meter runs out, you die instantly, so time it well.
Pain Fruit Moveset
| Skill | Tap Version | Hold Version | Hidden Ability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Z – Heavy Pain | Quick strike | Rapid machine gun punches | Ghosts heat-seek enemies |
| X – Pain Barrage | Close-range combo | Grab and drag enemies with a beam finisher | — |
| C – Pain Nuke | Burst shot | Chargeable beam attack with multiple versions | Unlocked via Pain Meter |
| V – Torture | Single shot, screen distortion | Charged AoE explosion with DoT | — |
| F – Self-Propel | Dash | Double directional dash with dropkick effect | Unlocks in Inner Pain mode |
M1 Combos
- Combos use limbs (punches and kicks) rather than just magic.
- Feels closer to a fighting style than most other fruits.
Hidden Mechanic – Second Life
Once your Pain Meter is maxed, you temporarily gain:
- Second life (revives you on death)
- Enhanced speed
- Special aura and screen distortion
But once the meter ends, you’ll die unless you’ve already made your escape or won the fight.
Sharkman Karate Rework – New Moves & Abilities
The Sharkman Karate fighting style has been reworked with smoother animations and added effects. Every move now feels impactful and unlocks further potential through hidden abilities.
Basic Moves
- Z – Water Palms: Multi-hit rush that can drag opponents mid-air.
- X – Pressure Vortex: Launches a shark projectile. If it hits, the enemy is trapped in a bubble.
- C – Great Sea Spear: Powerful stab that can be used mid-air.
Hidden Abilities
- Z (Upgraded): Ends with a shark finisher attack.
- X (Upgraded): Gain control over the shark bubble to drag enemies.
- C (Upgraded): Transforms into a multi-target pull, ideal for grinding mobs.
New Minigame – Unlock Hidden Abilities
A new Fish Slap Battle Minigame is introduced to unlock hidden abilities for Sharkman Karate.
- Players take turns attacking with a slap meter.
- Hitting the green zone deals extra damage.
- Each player has three hearts (health).
- Every 30 minutes, a bonus mode appears for extra summer tokens.
This minigame is necessary to unlock hidden Sharkman abilities.
Pain Event – Hourly Boss Resurrection
This event runs during the first 10 minutes of every hour, replacing lightning strikes.
How It Works
- All major bosses respawn normally.
- After defeat, each boss resurrects as a Pain User with:
- Standard abilities
- Additional Pain Fruit skills
- Scaling based on player level
These become true threats regardless of your current progress.
Pain Fruit Skins (Limited-Time)
- New Pain Fruit skins are available through the summer gacha.
- You’ll need summer tokens earned via the minigame or the Pain Event.
- Skins include unique color palettes and visuals.
This Week 3 update delivers on all the hype. The Pain Fruit now stands among the most dynamic fruits in the game, while Sharkman Karate has been elevated into a top-tier style. With the new minigame and pain event, there are multiple ways to grind, improve, and enjoy the game in new ways.
