The arrival of the Garp-inspired Impact Fruit in Fruit Battlegrounds has shaken up the meta. With powerful animations, devastating combos, and a flashy transformation, this mythic fruit is a top-tier addition for PvP and boss fights. Whether you’re here to master it or just want to understand what you’re up against, this guide covers everything you need: from skill breakdowns to practical match strategies.
What is the Impact Fruit?
The Impact Fruit, clearly inspired by Garp from One Piece, is a Mythic-tier fruit with an estimated 0.02% spin rate. It features powerful animations, a combo-heavy move set, and a transformation called Astral Body that boosts your kit’s damage and mechanics.
This fruit thrives in close-range encounters, offers explosive AoE attacks, and has multiple guard-break options—making it extremely viable for both beginners and advanced players.
Garp Impact Fruit Skills Breakdown
Let’s break down each skill in the Impact kit, including how it behaves with and without the Astral Body transformation.
1. Meteor Fist
- Description: Launches a rain of cannonballs onto the battlefield.
- Mechanics: All but the final cannonball can be blocked. The last one causes a massive explosion that guard breaks.
- Usage: A reliable combo extender with decent damage, best used mid-combo.
Enhanced with Astral Body: Increased damage. Same mechanics otherwise.
2. Iron Hurricane
- Description: Creates a forward-moving tornado that explodes on impact.
- Mechanics: Starts with a bypass if used at close range. Final explosion is a guard break.
- Usage: Best combo starter in the kit. Time it well for pressure and disruption.
Enhanced with Astral Body: Damage increase only.
3. Blue Hole
- Description: A grab-style teleporting attack used to lift and slam the opponent.
- Mechanics: Blockable and goes on cooldown if blocked. Can extend or start combos.
- Usage: Strong combo extender. Be cautious against skilled blockers.
Enhanced with Astral Body: Gains increased range.
4. Iron Cascade
- Description: You teleport three times, ending with a devastating aerial blast.
- Mechanics: Can’t be blocked when in Astral Body form. Not ideal for combo extensions.
- Usage: Great finisher or punishment tool.
Enhanced with Astral Body: Gains block bypass.
5. Galaxy Impact (Ultimate)
- Description: Charges up universal energy to create the largest explosion in the game.
- Mechanics: Without Astral Body, the beam is blockable, but the final explosion bypasses block. With Astral, both beam and explosion bypass.
- Usage: Excellent combo finisher or surprise tool to close matches.
Provides i-frames during activation, making it a useful escape or punish tool.
6. Astral Body (Transformation)
- Description: Transformation that boosts the damage and mechanics of all abilities.
- Mechanics: Also grants i-frames at the start and briefly during activation.
- Usage: Activating Astral Body mid-fight allows for stronger combos and utility.
Optimal Combo Route
Want to max out damage? Here’s the best-performing Impact combo sequence based on current testing:
- Iron Hurricane (Guard break and initiate)
- Meteor Fist (Combo extender)
- Blue Hole (Grab for lift)
- Galaxy Impact (Massive damage)
- Iron Cascade (If position allows)
With Astral Body active, this combo becomes even more destructive. Remember: proper timing and aiming are essential, especially with Meteor Fist and Galaxy Impact.
PvP Match Highlights & Strategy Tips
vs Gear 5 Luffy
- Galaxy Impact and Iron Cascade can punish gear trades if timed well.
- Use Blue Hole to disrupt Luffy’s setup animations.
- Be mindful of stun priority during trades—Meteor Fist is your friend here.

- Astral Body’s i-frame gives breathing room in clutch moments.
vs Ice V2 (Aokiji)
- Pressure early with Iron Hurricane to limit space.
- Blue Hole and Meteor Fist excel in close quarters.
- Astral Body increases pressure with low cooldowns and better combo windows.
The Garp-inspired Impact Fruit is one of the strongest fruits on release in Fruit Battlegrounds. With massive AoE, strong guard breaks, and high combo potential, it’s a game-changer in the current meta. From flashy visuals to devastating damage scaling, it’s an excellent pick whether you’re climbing ranked or grinding bosses.
However, players need to stay mindful of its blockable attacks and cooldown management. The real strength comes from chaining your combo flow and activating Astral Body at just the right time.
Whether you’re fighting for honor or just having fun blasting enemies with Galaxy Impact, this fruit is well worth chasing. Stay tuned for future meta updates and deeper PvP strategies as more players adapt to the Impact fruit.
