The Dragon fruit received a complete rework in Update 28, transforming it from a mid-tier option into one of the most powerful fruits in Blox Fruits. With its new flight mechanics, devastating fire attacks, and massive AoE abilities, Dragon has become the premier choice for Sea Events and a top-tier PvP contender.
This guide covers everything about the reworked Dragon fruit: the new moveset, awakening strategy, optimal builds, and why Dragon is now considered S+ tier.

💰 How to Get Dragon Fruit
Dragon is a Mythical-rarity fruit, making it one of the hardest to obtain:
1. Blox Fruit Dealer
Purchase for $3,500,000 Beli or 2,600 Robux. Dragon only appears in stock 1% of the time, so check frequently.
2. Trading
The most reliable method. Expect to pay:
- Kitsune + adds (if trading down)
- Multiple high-value fruits
- Around 100M in total value
3. World Spawns
Dragon has a 0.7% spawn chance - extremely rare. Don’t count on finding one naturally.
4. Blox Fruit Gacha
The 99 Robux gacha can give Dragon, but odds are astronomically low.
⚡ Dragon Moveset (Post-Rework)
The Update 28 rework completely changed Dragon’s abilities. Here’s the new moveset:
Z - Dragon Claw (1 Mastery)

🌊 Dragon for Sea Events
Dragon is arguably the best fruit for Sea Events in Update 28. Here’s why:
Sea Beast Hunting
- Flight keeps you safe from water attacks
- Fire Breath hits multiple targets
- Infernal Dive finishes low HP Beasts
- No need for boats with sustained flight
Leviathan Strategy
- Activate Dragon Transformation for bonus damage
- Use Dragon Flight to stay above water
- Cycle Fire Breath when grouped
- Dive bomb with F when Leviathan surfaces
- Maintain fireball pressure between abilities
Terror Shark Farming
While Magma is often preferred for Terror Sharks due to water walking, Dragon’s aerial advantage works well too. You sacrifice some DPS for safety.
