Unleash Your Inner Warrior: The Ultimate Guide to Melee Races in Blox Fruits
So, you want to become a melee master in Blox Fruits? Excellent choice! There’s nothing quite like getting up close and personal with your opponents, delivering devastating blows with your bare hands (or a trusty sword). But to truly excel, you need to choose the right race. While Blox Fruits offers a variety of options, some races are simply better suited for a melee-focused playstyle than others.
The best race for melee in Blox Fruits is Human. While seemingly ordinary, the Human race boasts a unique passive ability called Last Resort, which significantly boosts your damage output when your health drops below 50%. This makes them incredibly powerful in clutch situations, allowing you to turn the tide of battle with a flurry of strikes. Furthermore, Human race also boasts extended Flash Step range and cooldown reduction, thus making it a great option for fast melee combos.
But that’s not all there is to it. The best race for you depends on your individual playstyle and preferred approach to combat. Let’s delve into the strengths and weaknesses of various races, and then address some frequently asked questions to help you make the perfect decision.
Diving Deeper: Examining the Contenders
While Human is generally considered top-tier for melee, several other races offer unique advantages that might suit your particular style:
- Ghoul: The Ghoul race is a fantastic choice for melee fighters. Its life leech ability allows you to regenerate health with every hit, providing crucial sustain during prolonged engagements. Additionally, Ghoul V3 offers a combo extension which is useful for chaining devastating melee attacks together. The increased speed is nothing to scoff at either, which is very important when pursuing opponents.
- Shark: While often associated with fruit builds, Shark is a solid pick for melee players. It has a passive damage reduction from water-based attacks and allows you to move faster through water, it also boasts a high damage reduction when Shark V4 is acquired.
- Cyborg: While often considered for hybrid builds, Cyborgs can be exceptionally powerful melee combatants due to their tankiness and damage output. Their V3 ability is extremely disruptive to opponent’s combos, and their high damage output in general makes them a threat in melee range.
- Mink: The speed and agility granted by the Mink race make it a popular choice for hit-and-run tactics. While it might not be the best for sustained brawls, Minks can excel at dodging attacks, landing quick combos, and then disengaging before taking too much damage.
- Angel: While typically chosen for its healing abilities and air superiority, the Angel race can still hold its own in melee combat, especially after V3 is unlocked. The Heavenly Blood ability provides a significant burst of healing and damage reduction, allowing Angels to survive intense fights and get the upper hand. Angel V4 also allows for stationary flight and gliding.
Optimizing Your Choice: Considering Devil Fruits and Weapons
It’s crucial to remember that your race is just one piece of the puzzle. Your choice of Devil Fruit and weapons can significantly impact your melee capabilities.
- Buddha Fruit: Universally regarded as one of the best fruits in the game, Buddha transforms you into a giant, damage-resistant behemoth with enhanced melee range. It’s an excellent pairing for any race.
- Other Fruits: Fruits with close-range damage and mobility options will enhance your melee game, like the Rumble Fruit, or even the Venom Fruit.
- Swords: A vast selection of swords is available in Blox Fruits, each with unique abilities and stats. Experiment with different swords to find the perfect complement to your race and playstyle. The Shark Anchor is a strong contender, as is the Cursed Dual Katana.
