The Pain Update is one of the most anticipated content additions in the 6 Weeks, 6 Updates event series for Blox Fruits. This update brings major changes to a legendary Blox Fruit and fighting style, plus a limited-time event with enticing rewards. This guide will cover everything about the Pain Update, including rework details, new mechanics, and tips for farming Summer Tokens.
What is the Pain Update?
The Pain Update is the major third-week update for the 6 Weeks, 6 Updates event. It focuses on a deep rework for the Pain Fruit and Sharkman Karate, introduces new mechanics like the Pain Meter, and features a limited-time event with exclusive rewards.
Pain Fruit Rework: Moveset & New Mechanics
The Pain Fruit Rework in Blox Fruits features a completely new moveset with more impressive animations. Every skill now has two modes: Tap (quick press) and Held (press and hold), providing flexibility in combat.
Fury Jab (Z, Mastery 1):
Tap: Releases a single projectile that deals ghost damage (damage over time).
Held: Releases multiple projectiles that home in on enemies based on cursor direction.
Rage Release (X, Mastery 100):
Tap: Dashes forward with 4 hits and knockback.
Held: Grabs an enemy, drags them along the ground, and launches them into the air for combos.
Agony Nuke (C, Mastery 200):
Tap: Throws a projectile that explodes on impact, launching enemies.
Held: Releases a long-range beam with a massive Area of Effect (AoE) and huge damage.
Torturing Pulse (V, Mastery 300):
Tap: A projectile that distorts the enemy’s screen and deals tick damage.
Held: Creates an AoE orb that pulls enemies in and deals tick damage. This skill also reduces the Pain Meter.
Torment Warp (F, Mastery 50):
Tap: Teleports (dashes) in the direction of your cursor.
Held: Jumps into the air, then teleports towards your cursor.
The M1 basic attack has also been updated to a multi-hit combo before finally delivering a knockback.
Pain Meter & Awakened Mode
The core mechanic of the Pain Fruit is the Pain Meter. To fill it, you must absorb “pain ghosts” that appear after using your skills.
Active Mode: When the Pain Meter is full, all skills become more powerful and their cooldowns are shorter.
Awakened Mode: This is a unique feature. If you die as a Pain Fruit user, you will resurrect with a full Pain Meter. In this mode, attack animations change and skill speed increases. However, beware! You will die permanently after the Pain Meter in this mode runs out.
Pain Fruit Tips: Always prioritize filling your Pain Meter for optimal damage. Use Held mode for large AoE damage and Tap mode for quick attacks. Use Awakened Mode for a comeback, but manage the meter wisely.
Sharkman Karate Rework
The Sharkman Karate Rework in Blox Fruits also received significant changes to all its skills and animations. Important note: There is no Sharkman Karate V2; all players who already own this style will automatically receive the new moveset.
Twelve Water Palms (Z): Summons 6 water clones that dash forward for multi-hits. Hidden effect: Summons a shark for extra damage.
Pressure Vortex (X): Creates a shark bubble that explodes and knocks back enemies. Hidden effect: The bubble can be controlled with your cursor.
Great Sea Spear (C): Creates a water vortex that pulls enemies in and deals multi-hits. Hidden effect: Becomes a multi-target attack.
With these changes, Sharkman Karate is now one of the strongest fighting styles and is highly recommended.
Pain Event & How to Farm Summer Tokens
The Pain Event in Blox Fruits is a limited-time event that replaces the Lightning Event. It spawns for 10 minutes at the start of every hour (e.g., 00:00, 01:00, etc. game time).
Event Mechanics: During the event, all bosses on the map will turn into “Pain users” who can use Pain Fruit skills and have the resurrection ability from Awakened Mode.
Reward: Defeating these “corrupted” bosses rewards 400 Summer Tokens and a chance to get the exclusive Pain skin from the Summer Gacha.
The most effective way to farm Summer Tokens in Blox Fruits is to actively participate in the Pain Event. Team up with other players to defeat bosses faster and more efficiently.
