Description
Ghoul V4 is the lifesteal race — it heals on M1s landed and gains stacking damage as your HP drops. The high-risk pick for aggressive close-range PvP that punishes opponents who try to bait fruit cooldowns. Like every race in Blox Fruits, Ghoul progresses through V1 (passive only), V2 (NPC-quest unlocked), V3 (Arctic puzzle unlock), and V4 (post-Update 17 awakening trial). Each step adds either a passive bonus or an active ability slotted into your race wheel. V4 is the version that matters for endgame — the trial is gated behind specific in-game tasks and rewards the awakened ability that sets the tier list ranking. Race-changing in Blox Fruits costs Robux through the in-game Tatakai Master, so you generally only switch when committing to a new build. Ghoul is worth the swap if your build leans into the playstyle its V4 awakening rewards — otherwise stick with whatever you rolled at character creation and accept the slight tier-list disadvantage. Pair Ghoul with a fighting style and fruit that reinforces its core strength. Speed races like Mink want long-range fruits to capitalize on positioning; sustain races like Ghoul want close-range fruits with stuns. The race-fruit synergy gap can be the difference between a B-tier and an S-tier loadout.
- +
Faster health regeneration and fast speed at night, although speed still slower than the Rabbit race.
- +
The player can change their race back to Ghoul whenever they'd like; no need to pay anything.
- +
Very good with Buddha due to the race's life leech. (Sanguine Art is also recommended due to additional life leech.)
- +
It can be considered as a mixture of all Races, having faster health regeneration (Angel) and faster speed (Rabbit) at night, as well as extra defense (Shark/Cyborg) and extra damage (Human/Cyborg), making it a good choice for people who can't decide on which race they want to use.
- +
Any moves in cooldown below 40% will be renewed when awakening.
- +
Nearly halves cooldowns (-40%), making moves very spammable and allowing for quick comebacks in PvP.

Offers decent mobility, especially when paired with the nighttime speed boost.
- +
Balanced ability, as it buffs damage, speed, and defense.
- +
Lasts for 8 seconds.

Life Leech only affects Fighting Styles, making it less useful for other builds.

More tedious to obtain than some other races. (Hellfire Torch is chance-based, and can only be obtained by defeating a raid boss.)

Rather weak defense.

Gives life leech for all damage sources but doesn't guarantee full heals and can be minimal sometimes.
