With tons of balance adjustments, combo reworks, bug fixes, and gameplay tweaks — this patch is all about refining the PvP experience. Whether you’re a competitive ranked grinder or a casual boss fighter, this guide breaks down everything you need to know about the recent balance changes, nerfs, buffs, and how they’ll impact your gameplay. Let’s dive right in.
All Things Coming in Fruit Battlegrounds New Impact UPD!
Blizzard: Small Nerfs to Keep in Check
- Blizzard Blade Knockback: Slightly nerfed, reducing overall combo consistency.
- Blade Duration: Now 1 second shorter.
- M1 Endlag Added: You can no longer seamlessly M1 into every move, especially for tight combos.
Impact: This aims to tone down Blizzard’s combo-heavy pressure without gutting its identity.
TS Rubber Gear 4: A Big Win
- Kong Gun: Slight stun buff.
- Culverin: Damage increased by 14%.
- King Kong Gun: Hitbox increased by 25 studs.
Impact: Gear 4 is now more viable and reliable, especially in boss fights and PvP pressure situations.
Flame V2: Smoother Gameplay
- Blazing Meteor: Reduced endlag (both on hit and miss). Can no longer move during Scorching Fist if hit.
Impact: Streamlined playstyle with fewer bugs. Slight buff in overall flow of Flame combos.
Quake: Better for Zoning, Trickier for Combos
- Fist Knockback: Buffed — hits from afar now push enemies further.
Impact: Great for zoners, but might disrupt combo potential if you misjudge range.
Magma V2: Real Combo Starter Now
- Migo: Startup is faster, finally making it a true combo opener.
- Magmarain: Cooldown increased by 1.5s, but EXP gain also buffed.
Impact: Magma becomes a legitimate PvP option with better combo potential. Mostly buffs here.
Magnet: Cooldown Nerfs
- Repel, Metal Arms, Punk Prison: All now have longer cooldowns.
Impact: Still strong, but spam potential is toned down. Time your moves more wisely.
Gravity: Slight Combo Nerf
- Combo Damage: Reduced slightly, especially when chaining.
Impact: Damage per combo is less oppressive, but overall power still very solid.
Venom: Anti-Air Fixes and Mode Balance
- Chloral Frenzy: +3s cooldown.
- Toxic Hydra: Shorter duration.
- Poison Storm: Now disabled when above 200 studs (no more air camping).
- Mode Gain: Slightly reduced.
Impact: Focused on eliminating air-camp abuse. A necessary set of nerfs for better balance.
Leopard: More Balanced Combos
- After Image: Combo hold time reduced.
- Mid-Claw Barrage Block Fix: Should prevent opponents from blocking mid-combo now.
Impact: Less annoying to fight against, while still keeping Leopard fun and fast-paced.
Phoenix: Shorter Mode Duration
- Mode Time Reduced: Balanced due to Phoenix’s faster mode charge.
Impact: Fair trade-off. Encourages more strategic use of Phoenix’s transformation.
Gear 5: No More Easy Stick Combos
- Rising Bolt: Less endlag + now adds 1s cooldown on Dawn Rocket.
Impact: Prevents infinite combo traps but allows for better chain options after Bolt.
Okuchi: Combo Potential Returns
- Divine Serpent Flight: Longer duration.
- Mode Damage Buffs: Claimed, but inconsistently tested across servers.
Impact: Stronger opener options now with the flight change.
Doflamingo V2: Major Adjustments to Combo Extending
- Gro Lance: Now bypasses after 1s instead of 8s (buggy on some servers).
- Power Doe: Has universal cooldown to prevent mid-combo reuse.
- Blazing Storm: -9% damage nerf.
- Buzz Cut: Cooldown prevents post-launch combo extensions.
Impact: These adjustments tone down Doflamingo’s overpowered string combos.
Leopard V2: Faster Fights
- Infinity Drive: Duration reduced, animation window tightened.
- Unrelenting Assault: Stun time reduced by 0.5s.
Impact: More responsive fights. Leopard V2 isn’t nerfed hard, just more balanced.
Miscellaneous Changes & Bug Fixes
- Console Flight: Fixed to last longer.
- Marco: Now teleports back if he falls off the mountain.
- Astro Body: Cooldown increased.
- Meteor Fist (Final Hit): Smaller hitbox. No longer guard breaks unless in mode.
- Ice Skate: Still bugged (unfixed).
Impact: Minor QoL and bug fixes; Astro users may notice longer ability downtime.

The Impact Update Fruit Battleground leans heavily toward fine-tuning the meta. Rather than introducing flashy new fruits or overhauling systems, it brings the focus back to balance, fair fights, and skill expression.
Many dominant fruits (like Venom, Leopard, and Doflamingo) were adjusted to limit abuse, while underwhelming options like Magma and Gear 4 got the buffs they deserved. If you’ve been holding off playing ranked or struggling with certain fruit matchups, now’s a great time to jump back in and explore new possibilities.
Expect follow-up content like boss solo guides and PvP showcases with updated combos using Impact/Garp. Whether you’re gearing up for ranked, boss farming, or experimenting with fruit synergy, this patch has something for everyone. Make sure to keep your skills sharp — and stay tuned for more coverage.
