If you’ve been grinding the seas in Blox Fruits lately, you know the meta is always shifting. Just when you think you’ve mastered the Best Fruits for Grinding, the developers drop a bombshell that changes everything. Right now, the entire community is buzzing with whispers, data-mined files, and insider hints about a massive overhaul coming to one of the most iconic fruits in the game: the Venom Fruit.

I’ve spent hours digging through the latest Venom Rework Blox Fruits Update Leaks, scouring Discord servers, and analyzing updates from reliable leakers to bring you the most comprehensive breakdown available. Is Venom about to dethrone Dough or Leopard as the PvP king? Or is this just a visual polish? Let’s dive into everything we know so far about the Venom rework in 2026.

Quick Facts: Venom Rework Overview

Feature	Current Status	Rework Expectations	Impact on Meta
Price	$3,000,000 / 2,450 Robux	Likely Unchanged	Remains a late-game grind
Type	Natural / Beast (Hybrid)	Natural	Consistent with patch notes
PvP Viability	High (Situational)	Very High (Potential S+ Tier)	Major threat to Fruit mains
Grinding Speed	Moderate	High	Better hitboxes expected
Transformation	Yes (Hybrid Form)	Enhanced / New Animations	Visual overhaul confirmed

Why Venom Needs a Rework?

Before we get into the juicy leaks, let’s talk about why this is happening. For a long time, Venom has been a fan favorite. It’s cheap for its power level, offers stunning toxic aesthetics, and has incredible combo potential. However, as we moved into the 2026 meta, newer fruits like Leopard and Dough have overshadowed it.

Current Issues:

Hitbox Inconsistency: Some moves, particularly the X move (Toxic Waste), feel clunky. They often miss opponents who are simply slightly above or below you.
Slow Startup: Venom is strong, but it’s slow. In a game where speed frames win fights, standing still to charge a move can be a death sentence against a Buddha sword user or a Portal spammer.
Mobility: While the F move (Hybrid Transformation) gives a speed boost, it lacks the vertical mobility or the instant escape options that fruits like Portal or Light offer.

The developers, Gamer Robot Inc., have acknowledged these pain points in their Discord Q&As. The goal of this rework isn’t just to make Venom “flashier,” but to streamline its hitboxes and modernize its frame data to compete with the top-tier fruits of March 2026.

The Leaks: What’s Changing in the Moveset?

Okay, let’s get to the meat of the article. Based on the aggregated data from top sources and community leaks, here is a breakdown of the projected changes to Venom’s kit.

Z Move: Poisonous Maelstrom (Overhaul)

Old Version: You fired a rapid stream of toxic projectiles. It was good for aerial combos but drained Instinct dodge quickly.
New Leak Info: The leaks suggest the “stream” is being replaced or heavily modified. Instead of a linear beam, the reworked Z might function more like a shotgun blast or a wide-area spray.

Why it matters: This fixes the hitbox issue. A wider spread means landing the move in close-quarters combat will be much easier, making it a reliable starter for combos.
Strategic Value: Expect this to be your primary “breaker” move. If your opponent tries to spam Instinct, a well-placed reworked Z will drain their dodge bar almost instantly.

X Move: Toxic Waste (Animation Update)

Old Version: You spat a massive blob of poison that exploded. It had a huge AoE but a very slow startup time.
New Leak Info: The explosion mechanic is getting a speed boost. Leaks show the animation for the “spit” action being shortened by roughly 15 frames. Additionally, the lingering poison on the ground may now apply a “slow” effect, similar to the Ice fruit’s passive.

Why it matters: Reducing the startup time is huge. In 2026 PvP, 15 frames can be the difference between getting countered by a Godhuman user and successfully landing a combo.

C Move: Serpent’s Wrath (New Utility?)

This is where things get speculative but exciting. Some deep-dive data miners found strings of code referencing a “Serpent” or “Constrict” mechanic.

Theory: The C move might change from a simple AoE stun to a pull-in or grab move.
Potential: If Venom gets a pull-in move (similar to Love or Control), its combo potential skyrockets. Imagine pulling an opponent out of the air and smashing them into the ground with Toxic Waste. That is the dream scenario for Venom mains.

V Move: Dark Destructor (The Nuke)

The V move has always been Venom’s “Ultimate.” It deals massive damage and looks incredible.
New Leak Info: Visuals are being overhauled. The leak from the source site mentions a “purple void” aesthetic, making the move look more like a black hole than a simple explosion.

Buffs: Unconfirmed rumors suggest the damage cap might be increased, or the stun duration might be slightly lengthened to ensure you can follow up with a Fruit Main attack or a sword combo.

F Move: Hybrid Transformation (Passive Changes)

The form itself looks iconic. The rework is reportedly tweaking the hitbox of the character while transformed.

Bug Fix: Currently, your hitbox feels larger when transformed, making you easier to hit. The update promises to shrink the player’s collision box, making you harder to hit while in Venom form, effectively making you the “tank” you were meant to be.
Speed: A slight increase to walk and run speed in the water is also rumored, which would make Venom a much better choice for Sea Events and ship grinding.

Comparison: Old Venom vs. Reworked Venom

To help you visualize the impact of these changes, let’s look at a side-by-side comparison of how the fruit performs in key areas.

Feature	Old Venom	Reworked Venom (Projected)	Verdict
Combo Potential	High, but requires high skill	Very High, easier execution	Win
Grinding (PvE)	Decent, but Buddha is better	Good, improved AoE	Win
Survivability	High (HP drain on moves)	High (Reduced HP drain rumors)	Win
Difficulty	Hard to master	Medium (New hitboxes help)	Neutral
Cost Effectiveness	Excellent	Excellent	Neutral

How to Prepare for the Update?

If you already own Venom, you are in for a treat. But if you are thinking of buying it, should you wait? Here is my advice.

1. Stock Up on Coupons

With any major update, the stock of fruits in the Dealer’s Cousin usually rotates. Even though Venom is a permanent fruit, buying it with Robux isn’t the only way. If the rework makes it S-Tier, the demand will skyrocket, and the trade value will increase. Getting it now via the Blox Fruits Codes for 2x EXP mastery events is a smart move.

2. Grind Mastery Now

This is the most critical tip. Start grinding mastery today.
If the rework drops, everyone and their mother will be switching to Venom. Finding a good grinding spot in the Second Sea or Third Sea will be a nightmare because every server will be crowded with Venom users.

Strategy: Go to a private server or a low-population server. Use your current best build (maybe Buddha if you have it) to farm Venom mastery to at least 300+ before the patch hits. That way, you unlock the moves and the F form instantly when the update drops.

3. Pair it with the Right Fighting Style

Venom works best with fighting styles that have high stun and good combo extenders.

Godhuman: The gold standard. It has great range and combos perfectly with Venom’s hold-down moves.
Electric Claw: If you prefer speed. The “Thunder God” combo is a classic, and with Venom’s new “slow” effects (if the leaks are true), this will be deadly.
Superhuman: A budget-friendly option that still hits hard.

Community Reaction & Developer Hints

I checked the official X/Twitter accounts and the Discord server to see what the developers are saying. While they haven’t released a formal “Update X” trailer yet, admin GamerRobot has been liking tweets that discuss “Venom buffs” and “Beast fruit adjustments.”

Furthermore, the Reddit community is currently divided.

Camp A: Believes Venom should remain a “technical” fruit and doesn’t want it to become “braindead” like Dough.
Camp B: Wants Venom to be the absolute strongest fruit to justify its price point and mastery grind.

Personally, I fall somewhere in the middle. I think Venom needs the quality-of-life fixes. There is nothing fun about missing a move because of a bad hitbox.

Is Venom Better Than Dough in 2026?

This is the million-dollar question. As it stands right now, in the current meta, Dough is generally considered superior for 1v1s due to its infinite combos and hitbox manipulation.

However, if the reworked Venom Z move gains a larger hitbox and the C move gains a pull effect, Venom could easily take the crown. Here is why:

Damage Output: Venom naturally does more raw damage than Dough.
Defense: Venom is tankier.
Buddha Synergy: Dough doesn’t work well with Buddha. Venom works okay with it, but the rework might make the non-Buddha playstyle so strong that you won’t even need Buddha.

If you are looking for a fruit to main for the next 6 months of 2026, Venom is a safer bet than buying a fruit that might get nerfed next month (like Leopard or Portal).

Advanced Strategies for the Reworked Venom

Once the update drops, you’ll need to adapt your gameplay. Here are some theoretical strategies based on the leaks:

The “Slow and Burn” Combo

If the X move (Toxic Waste) applies the rumored slow effect:

Use F (Transform).
Catch them off-guard with Z (Maelstrom).
Immediately use X (Toxic Waste). They are now slowed.
Switch to Godhuman and use the Z and C moves. They won’t be able to dash away due to the slow.
Finish with Venom V (Dark Destructor).

The Anti-Air Trap

The reworked Z is rumored to have vertical coverage.

Wait for your opponent to jump (common in air campers).
Look up and spam Z.
The wider hitbox should clip them, knocking them out of the air.
Use C (Serpent’s Wrath – assuming it’s a stun/pull) to bring them to the ground.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the Venom Rework Release Date?

Based on the source leaks and the typical update cycle of Blox Fruits, we expect the Venom rework to arrive in late March or early 2026. However, Gamer Robot is known for delays, so take this with a grain of salt.

Will Venom’s price change?

It is highly unlikely that the price will change. The developers rarely change the base price of existing fruits. It will likely remain at $3,000,000 or 2,450 Robux.

Should I trade my Leopard for Venom?

Currently, Leopard is better for grinding and raw PvP speed. If the Venom rework lands and the hitboxes are fixed, Venom will surpass Leopard in 1v1s, but Leopard might still be better for general farming due to its mobility. If you are a PvP enthusiast, I would make the trade. If you like grinding, keep Leopard. Check our Blox Fruits Tier List for the latest rankings.

Does Venom work with Race V4?

Yes, absolutely. If you have unlocked Race V4, Venom synergizes well with almost every race.

Cyborg: Unlimited energy (Instinct) is great for spamming Venom’s high-cost moves.
Mink: Mink V5 provides speed that Venom lacks, creating a “glass cannon” build.
Ghoul: Ghoul’s life leech makes the transformed Venom form nearly unkillable due to its natural tankiness.

Is the Venom rework just a visual change?

No. While visual updates (particle effects, textures) are confirmed, the data miners have found specific changes to frame data and damage multipliers. This is a gameplay rework, not just a skin update.

Will old Venom combos still work?

Most likely, yes. The core mechanics of the fruit (stun, poison) are staying. However, because the animations are faster, your muscle memory might need to adjust. You might find yourself “dropping” combos initially because you are used to the slower timing of the old moves.

Conclusion

The Venom rework is shaping up to be one of the most exciting updates of 2026. Whether you are a veteran player who remembers the old days of Blox Fruits or a new player looking for your first big investment, Venom is about to become a powerhouse.

By grinding mastery now and preparing your build (Godhuman + Race V4), you can hit the ground running when the patch drops. The leaks point to a fruit that retains its identity as a toxic tank but gains the precision and speed it needs to compete with the modern meta.
