Sanguine Art

Shafi — Tiki Outpost

Sanguine Art is one of the fighting styles in Blox Fruits — a class of melee martial arts that runs parallel to swords and devil fruits and lets you fight with weapon-style melee even while a fruit is on cooldown. Every Blox Fruits build runs exactly one fighting style, so picking the right one is one of the most important decisions a player makes after level 700. Fighting styles split into three buckets: PvP-oriented bursters (e.g. Godhuman, Sharkman Karate), sustain styles (Sanguine Art with its lifesteal), and grinding styles (Electric Claw with its AoE). Sanguine Art fits its role inside this meta and is best paired with a sword and fruit that complement its damage profile. Mastery xp on Sanguine Art comes from M1s and skill landings; max mastery unlocks the full kit including the iconic Z and X moves that define the style's PvP role. Sanguine Art is obtained via: Shafi — Tiki Outpost. Most Sanguine Art combos start with a long-range fruit move to lock the enemy in stun, transition into a sword swap for the M1 ramp, then finish with the style's hardest-hitting skill. The exact framing depends on your fruit awakening level, but the core principle — fruit stun → sword filler → fighting-style finisher — is universal across most B+ tier loadouts.
