Complete Beginner's Guide to Blox Fruits
Everything you need to know to get started with Blox Fruits in May 2025. Best fruits for beginners, leveling tips, and strategies for the Gravity Update.

Introduction to Blox Fruits
Blox Fruits is one of Roblox's most popular games, combining action, adventure, and RPG elements. This guide will help complete beginners understand how to start and progress efficiently in the game, especially with the new Gravity Update features added in May 2025.
Understanding the Basics
Choosing a Faction
Your first choice in Blox Fruits is selecting between two factions:
- Marines: Easier for beginners with more quest accessibility and fewer player attacks
- Pirates: More challenging but potentially more rewarding with unique quests
For beginners, we recommend starting as a Marine until you understand game mechanics.
Understanding Devil Fruits
Devil Fruits grant special abilities but prevent swimming. For beginners in May 2025, the best starter fruits are:
- Light Fruit: Fast travel speed and strong attacks, making early leveling much easier
- Buddha Fruit: Increases your size and provides excellent defense for beginners
- Ice Fruit: Good area damage and mobility options for beginners
- Flame Fruit: Balanced fruit with good damage and mobility
- Control Fruit: Recently buffed in the Gravity Update, now viable for beginners
Leveling Strategy (1-100)
The fastest way to reach level 100:
- Complete all quests from the Starter Island (levels 1-10)
- Move to Jungle Island for Pirate quests (levels 10-35)
- Head to Pirate Village for higher level quests (levels 35-60)
- Proceed to Desert Island (levels 60-100)
Always focus on completing quests rather than random grinding, as quests provide significantly more XP.
Understanding Stats
As you level up, you'll earn stat points to distribute. For beginners, we recommend:
- Melee Users: Focus on Melee and Defense stats (60/40 split)
- Fruit Users: Focus on Fruit and Defense stats (60/40 split)
- Gun Users: Focus on Gun and Defense stats (60/40 split)
After the May 2025 update, Defense has become more important due to increased enemy damage.
Gravity Update Features for Beginners
The May 2025 Gravity Update introduced several features beneficial for beginners:
- Sky Beginner Zone: New area accessible at Level 50+ with good XP rates
- Enhanced Movement Tutorial: Makes learning mobility mechanics easier
- Starter Reward Buff: Increased rewards for early quests
- Newbie Protection: Players under Level 50 take reduced PvP damage
