* Shop * tort * Event Shop or Death King
Description
* Event Shop or Death King Shark (formerly known as Fish) is one of the four races available to new players when joining the game for the first time. It has a 12.5% chance of being assigned at initial spawn. The Shark race provides significant damage reduction and allows the user to swim in water without taking damage, making it highly defensive. It is recommended for players participating in sea events for the first time without the Leviathan Shield accessory or for first-time bounty hunting. Shark is strong against one-shot combos, but its mobility and damage output are lower than other races, making it less suitable for advanced play.

Ice's Frost Walker passive, Awakened Magma's Magmatic Feet passive, Awakened Buddha's [Z] (Shift), Awakened Dough's [F] (Scorching Donut), Kitsune's Transformation, Gas's Transformation and Yeti's Transformation can walk/roll on water, rendering Shark's passive abilities not that useful. However, it still protects from being dragged underwater with these fruits.
- −
Crossing oceans can be faster with air dashing + use of mobility skill than swimming.
- −
Non-Blox Fruit and Leviathan Shield users might not benefit from the water immunity.
- −
No movement buff, which makes the player sluggish.
- −
Considered to be outclassed by several other races in the community. (After being nerfed)
- −
Some longer combos can easily counter.

Can be ignored by Lava but somehow takes around half damage and survives longer without reducing overflow.

Less useful against enemies that are not running or air campers.
Trivia
10- 1
The V1 extra swim speed is faster than the Dinghy, but slower than the Sloop.
- 2
If the player has put 0 stats in defense, the passive of V1 will make it so you take 1 damage, and the player's health will be stuck at 99/100 hp. Note that this will only work with no defense and also no health-buffing accessories
- 3
The V2 swim speed is slightly faster than the Brigade.
- 4
The Leviathan's Armor effect will sometimes surround the user with a blue aura or a blue layer, depending on the avatar the user is using.
- 5
The Leviathan's Armor aura/layer will get brighter when the overflow bar decreases and disappear when it is gone.
- 6
Leviathan's Armor can be considered as the only defense that Gravity's upgraded [V], [C] and Piercing enchantment can't ignore, since it's more of a shield that grants the player extra HP than an actual defense buff measured in units such as percentages.
- 7
The overflow passive, which regenerates from dealing damage to NPC increased significantly (~22% -> ~50%). When the event ended, this change was no longer present.
- 8
Shark was nerfed.
- 9
Reduced speed debuffs and max overflow on awakened passives.
- 10
The overflow passive now only protects against 85% of the damage received, instead of 100%.
