When playing Fisch on Roblox, understanding how rod passives interact with different fish is key to improving your catch rate. One hidden mechanic players often overlook is the Fisch Passive Block. This feature affects certain rods and fish during the catch minigame, keeping the challenge high even when using powerful rods. Knowing how it works can help you plan your fishing strategy and avoid surprises when targeting rare or tricky species.
What is Fisch Passive Block?
The Fisch Passive Block occurs when specific fish cancel the benefits of a rod’s passive ability. Essentially, even if your rod normally gives extra catches, faster progress, or other perks, these skills may be negated by certain fish. This is most common with rare species or those with high resilience or debuffs that slow down progress.
Not all rods are affected equally, and not every difficult-to-catch fish triggers a Passive Block. Only certain combinations of rods and fish will see their passive skills temporarily disabled.
Rods Affected by Passive Block
Some rods lose specific passive effects against certain fish:
- Clickbait Caster, Eardrum, Fish Photographer, Great Dreamer Rod, Kraken Rod – Extra catch every 5 catches is negated.
- Polaris Serenade, Rod of the Depths, Rod of the Eternal King, Rod of the Forgotten Fang, Spiritbinder – Extra catch every 60 seconds negated.
- Vinefang Rod, Bat Whisperer’s Rod – Extra catch every 30 seconds negated.
However, not all passives are fully blocked. In some cases, such as the Kraken Rod, Spiritbinder, and Bat Whisperer, passives can still trigger if the fish itself is caught at the moment the passive activates.
Exceptions to Passive Block
Some passives bypass the Passive Block mechanic under certain conditions:
- Passives that automatically catch fish already obtained, like Anomalous Enchant, Ghastly Enchant, Brother’s Rod, Fang of the Eclipse, can still function.
- Certain rods have built-in abilities to ignore Passive Block entirely, increasing the chance to hook the highest rarity fish in the pool. These include Astralhook Rod, Elder Mossripper, and Spiritbinder.
Understanding these exceptions allows you to plan which rods to use for rare fish or high-stakes catches, ensuring your fishing sessions remain efficient.
The Passive Block mechanic adds an extra layer of challenge to Fisch, requiring players to strategize which rods to use against which fish. By knowing which rods are affected and which can bypass the block, you can maximize your catch rates and make the most of each fishing session.
