LIGHTNING UPDATE TRAILER + Week 1 Showcase | Blox Fruits

Hey!

Whoa!

yo that cinematic was straight fire the battle between the lightning user and the mysterious fighter was insane i want to see straight w's in the chat right now spam that w blocks is back and we're here to stay so get ready because i'm about to take you through all the hype new content in this update first off we're going to start off with the full lightning showcase since i know y'all been waiting for this one

After that, I'm going to give you all a sneak peek of the brand new submerged island.

Then we're diving into the fishing section.

Fully explained, so get your rods ready because fishing season is officially open.

From there, I'll break down the brand new crafting and potion system.

And to wrap it all up, we've got the long awaited summer gacha and the lightning event.

Two absolute bangers you don't want to miss.

Let's get straight to it.

All right, let me show you why this new lightning rework is actually insane.

First off, orb charges are the core of the entire kit.

You build them by landing them once, and the orbs also regenerate passively.

The more you have generated, the more attacks you're able to throw out.

All right, so now let's get into the moves.

The first one is a Z skill, which has three different versions.

and every single one has a purpose and i'm gonna call them z1 z2 and z3 all right the first one is going to be z1 which costs one orb it's a fast projectile explosion on contact it's great for quick pressure and poking at range all right and now we have the second one which is v2 it also uses one orb you just have to hold it a second longer but instead of just damage it pulls the enemy in and it stuns them briefly

It's perfect for setting up combos or catching opponents that are trying to escape.

Alright and then we have the D3 which costs two orbs to use.

It launches you forward and sends out an electrified dragon that explodes on impact.

It's really fast, it hits hard, and covers a lot of space.

But it also has a hidden ability.

If you're close enough, it turns into a grab that unleashes a full combo on your opponent.

It's aggressive, flashy, and super satisfying when it lands.

next up we have the x move and this one's cold it creates storm clouds similar to the old version of the fruit they stay up they linger and they're not just for show these things are the setup for some of the nastiest interactions in the kit which i'll be showing you guys later on throughout the video so stay tuned

Now we got the C move.

The C move is still based on the previous version, but now it's been completely leveled up and upgraded.

Same concept, but the range, the visuals, and the overall impact are on a whole different scale.

This was my favorite one.

The V skill is a charged explosion.

You can hold up to four orbs to power it up.

The more orbs you use, the larger the explosion and the more damage it deals, so it's not just for show.

It's not just big, it's ridiculous.

and then we also have the F skill your teleportation on its own solid mobility but if you charge it with one extra orb it deals damage and chains enemies every single dash costs one orb that means you can dash up to four times if you have four orbs

This rule also has some hidden abilities intended for PvP players to create longer combo chains.

Let me show you how the Z skill can interact with the X skill's lightning clouds.

When I cast these lightning orbs into the sky, they will actually get absorbed into the lightning clouds.

As the clouds absorb the orbs, it will extend my lightning strike combo for a much longer time.

And if you think that's powerful,

Watch as I use the third Z ability, the Z3 dragon in the same way.

When your dragon touches these clouds, the clouds will enhance your electrified dragon and allow you to aim this raging beast back towards the ground below.

This tool is non-stop pressure.

Mix ups, damage, mobility, it's everything.

And if you know how to manage your orbs too, you'll go crazy.

Trust me.

The ceiling on this is high.

And once people figure out how to really use it, it's going to be a problem.

Next up we have fishing.

To get started, pick up your rod and throw it out into the water.

From there, it's just patience and quick reflexes when the bite hits.

Oh, I actually caught something.

When you hook a fish, you'll see an indicator pop up above your head.

You're going to have to react fast and click on it to lock it in.

From there, the real challenge starts.

You're going to be reeling it in while keeping the fish icon inside the box the whole time.

Don't mess up.

If you slip up too often, it's going to disappear.

It's gone.

See you.

Yo, it's a terror fish.

That was a mythical.

It is pretty heavy too.

The rarer the fish, the harder it's going to fight back during the minigame, unless you level up your fishing skills and actually put in the practice.

Then you can start snagging the big ones like it's nothing.

That's how the fishing minigame works, but before you can start reeling anything in, you're going to need the right gear.

Head over to the fisherman NPC and he'll hook you up with your first rod.

As you can see, he just hooked me up with my first rod and some bait to get started.

You can also talk to him to craft more bait, which you'll definitely need if you plan on fishing for a while.

The fisherman also has a fishing level menu, and here's how the upgrade works.

Casting upgrades when you land perfect casts.

Bait effectiveness upgrades as you craft more bait.

Lure upgrades based on how much of the minigame you keep your lure locked onto the fish.

And your fishing level upgrades with every fish you catch.

Rare fish giving you even bigger boosts.

after a while you're gonna want to go after the big catches and trust me you're not ready for those yet you're gonna need a sturdier rod and some better bait before you can even think about reeling in the good stuff and we have just the npc you need for this the new angler npc can be found in each sea offering a set of time gated quests with different rewards complete these quests and you'll unlock the ability to craft or purchase a brand new rod and special baits both of which will make your fishing journey a whole lot easier all right with that handled you're ready to get started

C2 now has some of the common C events, giving you more ways to earn materials so you don't always have to camp out in C3 for them.

Alright, and those materials can be brought straight to the dragon stage who now randomly appears across the map in either first or second C, just like how the aura dealer shows up.

On top of that, you can now use scrolls to enhance your fishing rods with special buffs, and let me tell you right now, the cursed fishing rod buffs are actually insane.

And to make it even better, fishing can now earn you normal EXP, so leveling up isn't locked to combat anymore.

If you want, you can grind your way to higher levels just by fishing.

but fishing isn't just about fish you can pull up treasure chests packed with rewards rare fruits if you're lucky maybe even a boot and sometimes you can even find secret recipes you won't find anywhere else speaking of recipes we've also got a brand new crafting system in the game once you got your materials open your inventory click on those wooden planks and hit the use button to set up a campfire all right and now it's time to get to crafting

From there you can cook up potions and food with effects that can really flip the game in your favor.

Starting off with the fish kebab which is food that gradually restores your health but only outside of pvp.

Then we have the lava potion which gives you complete immunity to lava.

The aggro elixir forces nearby enemies to target you.

The loot seeker lets you see nearby chests through walls.

Berserker's Elixir boosts your damage against enemies and bosses.

And the Fortune Elixir increases all money earned from any source.

These are all different things that are going to make the game much more fun and help you alongside your journey.

Make sure you guys get your materials ready and start crafting.

We've also added a brand new event for you guys.

The lightning event triggers every hour on the hour as storm clouds form over certain enemies around the map and electrifies them.

These charged up enemies drop summer tokens, which you can use at the summer gacha dealer for a special event gacha spin.

The amount of tokens you get depends on which sea you're currently in.

If you have access to C3, that's where you want to farm, since you'll be receiving more tokens.

speaking of tokens let's go check out the new summer gacha but first y'all gotta peep my new drip i'm looking clean yes sir all you need is enough summer tokens and you're ready to spin for those crazy event rewards

This summer gacha works almost the same as before, but now you've got a higher chance at better fruits and some exclusive limited time fruit skins that you can only get during the event.

These skins will be swapped out for another set of skins in the next rotation, so don't miss out.

Keep in mind the regular gacha and the summer gacha share the same cooldown.

Alright, and that pretty much sums up everything for the first week of the update, so we'll

lightning fruits full rework, the brand new lightning event striking across the seas, the summer gacha stock with exclusive skins, a whole new island to explore, and a higher level cap to grind for.

And believe it or not, there's still more coming.

This is just the start of the lightning expansion.

Every weekend after release, you can expect more surprises to drop.

So stay tuned for that.
