The world of Blox Fruits is no stranger to major updates, but sometimes it’s the smaller patches that cause the biggest stir. Case in point: a recent mini-update (think Update 27.5) delivered a surprising rework of one of the game’s most overlooked Devil Fruits—the Bomb Fruit.

The Rework: What Actually Changed?

The update aimed to give the Bomb Fruit a serious glow-up, turning it from a clunky, low-damage fruit into a beginner-friendly powerhouse. Here’s what’s new:

New and Updated Moveset

The skill set has been completely overhauled. The new abilities feel faster, smoother, and way more fun to use—especially for players grinding through the First Sea.

M1 (Basic Attack) Support

One of the biggest upgrades is the addition of basic attacks, or M1s. Previously, this fruit had no way to chain consistent damage between skills. Now, players can mix in basic hits, making grinding and combat much more fluid.

Better Damage and Hitboxes

While it’s not going to melt bosses in the Third Sea, the Bomb Fruit now has more reliable hitboxes and damage. Explosions actually feel impactful—finally living up to the name.

Community Reaction: Buffed or Still Trash?

Naturally, the update sparked debate across the Blox Fruits community. Some creators and high-level players were quick to brush it off, saying:

“It’s still garbage for PvP or bounty hunting.”

And to be fair, when compared to heavy hitters like Buddha, Dough, or the anticipated Dragon rework, Bomb Fruit isn’t exactly meta-defining.

But for newer players? The vibe is different.

For First Sea Grinding

This fruit is now one of the best early-game options. It’s easy to obtain, enjoyable to use, and perfect for farming quests and leveling up quickly.

PvP Combos Exist (Surprisingly)

Some creative players have started crafting niche PvP combos using the new Bomb abilities paired with swords and fighting styles. They won’t win tournaments—but they’ll definitely surprise your friends in a casual duel.

Verdict: Is the Bomb Fruit the New Meta?

Let’s cut to the chase:

  • Is it top-tier for PvP or endgame grinding? No.
  • Is it a huge improvement and a legit early-game fruit? Absolutely.

The Bomb Fruit rework doesn’t try to make it overpowered. Instead, it gives it a real identity and purpose—a fun, effective starter fruit that no longer feels like a waste of a spin.
