Blox Fruits Stats and Builds
You get 3 stat points per level. What Melee, Defense, Sword, Gun and Blox Fruit each do, the per-stat cap, how to reset stats, and the common build types.
Blox Fruits Stats: Points per Level and Best Builds
Every level gives you exactly 3 stat points, and understanding how to allocate blox fruits stats is crucial. A level 2000 character has 6000 points to spend. This single fact determines your entire build. The only other hard rule: the maximum you can put into any one stat equals the current max level. At the base cap of 2800, you can put 2800 points into Melee, 2800 into Defense, and 2800 into a third stat. Without Race Awakening, that is your limit: three stats maxed at the level cap. Spread points across all five stats, and you will be weak in every category. The question is not how many points you have. The question is where you put them.
What Each Stat Does and the Per-Stat Cap
The five stats are Melee, Defense, Sword, Gun, and Devil Fruit. Each one increases a specific type of damage. Defense also boosts your health and damage reduction. The per-stat cap equals the current max level. At level 2800, you can put 2800 points into Melee. At level 3000 (with Island Secrets), you can put 3000 into it. The Blox Fruits Wiki Stats page confirms this: the cap moves with the level cap, not with your personal level. So if you are level 1500, you can put up to 1500 points in a single stat, but you cannot hit the overall cap until you reach it.
Melee
Melee increases damage from fighting styles (like Godhuman, Superhuman, or Sharkman Karate) and also adds health. Fighting style damage scales directly with this stat. Put 50-60% of your total points here if you main fighting styles.
Defense
Defense reduces incoming damage and adds health. It is the most important survivability stat. A glass cannon build (under 10% into Defense) falls over in one hit against any sea beast or raid boss. Put at least 20-25% of total points into Defense for general PvE.
Sword, Gun, and Devil Fruit
Sword increases damage from sword-type weapons. Gun increases damage from guns. Devil Fruit increases damage from fruit abilities. Each is a primary damage stat if you main that weapon type. Each is wasted if you do not use it. Do not put points into Sword if you never equip a katana.
How Many Stats You Can Max Without Race Awakening
Without Race Awakening, you can max exactly three stats to the current level cap. At level 2800, you can put 2800 into Melee, 2800 into Defense, and 2800 into one other stat: Sword, Gun, or Devil Fruit. The fourth stat will be zero, or very low. This is a hard limit imposed by the 3-points-per-level rule. With Race Awakening, you can max a fourth stat, but that is an endgame mechanic for players who have already completed most content.
The practical failure: players who try to spread points evenly across four or five stats end up with no stat high enough to deal good damage or survive. The Blox Fruits Wiki Stats page warns that you cannot max a fourth without the awakening. Ignore this, and you will struggle in the Third Sea.
Common Builds: Fruit Main, Sword Main, Melee Main, and Hybrids
The four common build archetypes each focus on one or two damage stats and Defense. Here is how to allocate points at level 2000 (6000 total points).
Fruit Main
Put 300 (5%) into Melee, 1500 (25%) into Defense, 0 into Sword, 0 into Gun, and the rest into Devil Fruit. This build relies entirely on fruit abilities for damage. You need good dodging because your health pool comes from Defense only. Works best with logia or paramecia fruits that have area denial. Not for players who get hit often.
Sword Main
Put 300 (5%) into Melee, 1500 (25%) into Defense, the bulk into Sword, 0 into Gun, and 300 (5%) into Devil Fruit. Use swords like Yama or Shusui for primary damage. The small Devil Fruit allocation is for mobility abilities only. You still need high Defense because you are in melee range for sword attacks.
Melee (Fighting Style) Main
Put most points into Melee, 1500 (25%) into Defense, 0 into Sword, 0 into Gun, and a small amount into Devil Fruit. This is the typical spread for Godhuman or Death Step users. The fruit points are for movement or utility fruits. You rely on fighting style combos for damage. Skilled players can do extremely well, but beginners should raise Defense to 30%.
Hybrid (Sword + Fruit)
Put 300 (5%) into Melee, 1500 (25%) into Defense, a balanced split into Sword and Devil Fruit, and 0 into Gun. This split gives you two damage sources but no single high number. It is forgiving because you can switch between sword and fruit depending on the enemy. The downside: you do less damage per hit than a dedicated main. Fine for PvE, weaker for PvP.
Tank Build (Rare)
Put a small amount into Melee, most into Defense, a small amount into Sword, 0 into Gun, and a small amount into Devil Fruit. This is a support or PvE farming build. You survive long boss fights but kill slowly. Not recommended unless you have a team for raids.
| Build | Melee | Defense | Sword | Gun | Devil Fruit | Primary Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fruit Main | 300 (5%) | 1500 (25%) | 0 | 0 | 4200 (70%) | PvE area denial, PvP zoning |
| Sword Main | 300 (5%) | 1500 (25%) | 3900 (65%) | 0 | 300 (5%) | PvE boss killing, PvP burst |
| Melee Main | 3900 (65%) | 1500 (25%) | 0 | 0 | 600 (10%) | PvP combos, PvE mobility |
| Hybrid (Sword+Fruit) | 300 (5%) | 1500 (25%) | 2100 (35%) | 0 | 2100 (35%) | General PvE, flexible play |
| Tank | 600 (10%) | 3600 (60%) | 600 (10%) | 0 | 600 (10%) | Support, raid tanking |
How to Reset Stats (Refund) and What It Costs
If you have put points in the wrong place, you need a stat refund. The Blox Fruits Wiki page on stat refunds explains two methods. The first is a Robux cost: 10 Robux per reset, available from the in-game shop. The second is an in-game cash cost: 1,000,000 beli per reset, available from a specific NPC in the Second Sea (the name changes with updates; check the wiki for the current NPC).
There is no free reset. If you are below level 50, make a new character instead of paying for a refund. Above level 200, the refund cost is worth it to fix a bad build. The most common mistake: spreading points across four stats, leaving you with a weak Melee, weak Sword, weak Fruit, and not enough Defense. If you have done this, buy the refund, then follow one of the builds in the table above.
Stat refunds do not reset your mastery. Only your stat points are reset. Your fighting style and weapon mastery remain as they were. This is important because Godhuman requires 400 mastery on Superhuman, Death Step, Sharkman Karate, and Electric Claw. A stat refund does not help you grind that mastery faster.
Using the Stat Calculator to Plan Before You Reset
Before you spend Robux or beli on a refund, use the Blox Fruits stat calculator to plan your allocation. Enter your current level, then distribute the points for the build you want. Compare the output to the table above. The calculator shows you final stat values and gives you a preview of your damage and health.
The failure case: players who click 'refund' without planning first, then put points back in the same bad spread. Do not do this. Open the calculator, write down your target numbers, then buy the refund and allocate exactly to that plan. If you are following a melee main build, put 65% into Melee, 25% into Defense, and 10% into Devil Fruit, and leave the rest at zero. Do not touch Sword or Gun unless you are building a sword main or gun main.

Common Questions
How many stat points do I get per level?
3 stat points per level. At level 1000, you have 3000 total points. At level 2800, you have 8400 points.
Can I max more than three stats without Race Awakening?

What is the cost to reset my stats?
10 Robux or 1,000,000 beli per reset. The beli option is from a specific NPC in the Second Sea. Check the wiki for the current NPC name.
Does a stat refund reset my fighting style mastery?
No. Only stat points are reset. Your mastery in Godhuman, Superhuman, or any other style remains unchanged.
Is a glass cannon build viable for PvE?
Only for experienced players who dodge well. For general PvE, put at least 20-25% of your total points into Defense. Glass cannon builds die in one hit to sea beasts and raid bosses.
Which build is best for a new player in the First Sea?

How do I know if my stat spread is bad?
If you have points in all five stats, or if your Defense is under 10%, your build is weak. Use the stat calculator to compare your distribution to the build table above. If you are underpowered, buy a refund and reallocate.
