Let’s be real for a second. If you’ve been hanging around the Second Sea or just stepped foot into the chaotic mess that is the Third Sea, you’ve heard the whispers about Sanguine Art. It’s the flashy, blood-red fighting style that everyone and their mother seems to be using in PvP lately. But man, the process to get it? It's a nightmare. It’s not just about clicking a button or spending some fragments; it’s a full-on odyssey that involves hunting sea monsters, praying to the RNG gods, and not getting jumped by a Portal user while you're trying to do your chores.
Sanguine Art is basically the pinnacle of "lifesteal" mechanics in Blox Fruits. Honestly, it’s arguably the best fighting style in the game right now, especially if you’re tired of carrying around a million health potions or relying solely on your fruit for sustain. It turns you into a vampire, essentially. Every hit feels weighty, and when you land those combos, you’re not just dealing damage—you’re literally eating your opponent’s health bar to fill your own. It's satisfying. It's also incredibly annoying to go up against.
How to Actually Get Your Hands on Sanguine Art
You can't just stumble into this. First, you need to find Shafi. He’s tucked away in a dark little corner of the Tiki Outpost in the Third Sea. But don’t think he’s just going to teach you his secrets because you asked nicely. Shafi is greedy. He wants a Cold Heart. And no, you can't just buy one from a shop.
The Cold Heart is a drop from the Leviathan. This is where most players lose their minds. To even spawn the Leviathan, you need a team. A big one. We’re talking at least five players, though more is always better if you want to actually survive the encounter. You have to sail out into the "Danger Level 6" waters, which is basically the Blox Fruits version of the Bermuda Triangle but with more sharks and lightning. Once you bribe the Spy NPC at the Tiki Outpost enough times with fragments, he’ll tell you the Leviathan is out there.
The Leviathan Fight is Stressful
It's a long fight. You have to break the segments of the Leviathan's body while dodging ice breaths and keeping your boat from sinking. When it finally dies, you don’t just get the heart. You have to use the Beast Hunter ship—which you also have to craft, by the way—to harpoon the heart and drag it all the way back to Tiki Outpost. If your game crashes or a Bounty Hunter sinks your ship on the way back? You lose it. Total heartbreak.

Once you finally bring that heart to Shafi, he’s still not done with you. You need materials. Lots of them.
- 20 Demonic Wisps (Go kill those Demonic Souls at the Haunted Ship).
- 20 Vampire Fangs (Farm the Vampires at Graveyard).
- 2 Dark Fragments (Dropped by the Darkbeard Raid Boss).
- 5,000 Fragments.
- 5,000,000 Beli.
It’s expensive. Like, "I’m going to be broke for a week" expensive. But the payoff is immediate.
Breaking Down the Moveset: Why PvP Players Are Obsessed
The reason Sanguine Art dominates the meta isn't just the damage. It’s the utility. The moves flow into each other in a way that makes Dragon Breath or Superhuman feel a bit clunky by comparison.
Bloodthirsty (Z Move): This is your bread and butter. You dash forward, grab the enemy, and start ripping health out of them. It heals you for about 20% of the damage dealt. In a close fight, that 20% is the difference between a win and a salty "gg" in the chat. The stun duration is also long enough to setup a Soul Guitar X or a Cursed Dual Katana move.

Scarlet Blast (X Move): You fire a massive beam of red energy. It’s got a decent hitbox, but the real kicker is the knockback and the damage scaling. It hits hard. Really hard. If you’re using a build that focuses on high Melee stats, this move can easily chunk a third of someone’s health if they aren’t holding their block.
Devourer of Worlds (C Move): This is the "get off me" tool. You create a massive AOE (Area of Effect) explosion of blood tendrils. It hits everything around you. It’s perfect for grinding NPCs because it gathers them up, but in PvP, it’s a nightmare for anyone trying to get close to you. It also has a life-leech effect. If you hit five NPCs with this, your health bar just rockets back up to full. It feels like cheating, honestly.
Is It Better Than Godhuman?
This is the big debate. Every veteran player has an opinion on this. Godhuman has been the king for so long because of its insane combo potential and speed. However, Sanguine Art offers something Godhuman doesn't: survivability.
In a prolonged fight, a Sanguine user is going to outlast a Godhuman user simply because of the healing. If you miss a combo with Godhuman, you’re vulnerable. If you miss a combo with Sanguine, you can usually just back off, land a quick Bloodthirsty on a nearby NPC or a stray player, and you’re back in the game. It’s more forgiving. But, Godhuman is still slightly faster. If you’re a "one-shot combo" purist, you might still prefer the old king. For everyone else who wants to actually survive a 3v1 gank, Sanguine is the move.

The Best Fruits to Pair with Sanguine Art
Don't just slap this fighting style on any build. You want synergy.
- Portal: This is the toxic meta. You use Portal to move around, trap them in the Parallel Escape, and then hit them with the Sanguine Art C move the moment they pop out. It’s almost impossible to dodge if timed right.
- Dough (Awakened): Since Sanguine has such good stuns, it fits perfectly into the standard Dough combos. You use the Dough "V" move to hold them, then go into Bloodthirsty to heal up while they're stuck.
- Buddha: For grinding, this is unbeatable. The reach of Sanguine Art combined with the massive hitboxes of Buddha makes you an unkillable farming machine. You won't even need to look at your health bar.
- Kitsune: The speed of Kitsune combined with the lifesteal of Sanguine makes you a literal raid boss. It’s overkill, but hey, that’s the game.
Common Mistakes People Make
Most people think once they get the Leviathan Heart, the hard part is over. It’s not. You need to have 2,500 mastery in Melee just to make the style viable in the Third Sea. If you haven't put the points into your stats, the lifesteal is negligible.
Another mistake is over-relying on the Z move. Bloodthirsty is a grab. If the opponent is holding their block or uses a move with "Ken Haki" (Observation) active, you’re going to whiff. And when you whiff Sanguine moves, the end-lag is punishable. You can't just spam; you have to time it. It’s a precision tool, not a blunt instrument like Sharkman Karate.
Final Checklist for Success
If you're serious about getting this, stop wasting your time wandering the ocean alone. Join a Discord server dedicated to Leviathan hunting. Trying to find a group of five randoms in a public server who actually have a Beast Hunter ship is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. You need a coordinated team.
Steps to take right now:
- Max out your Melee stat if you haven't already.
- Farm the 5 million Beli; do Sea Beast hunts for quick cash.
- Craft the Monster Magnet or find someone who has it to increase Leviathan spawn rates.
- Practice your "Ken Trick" (turning Observation off and on) so you don't get stuck in other people's Sanguine combos.
Sanguine Art isn't just a status symbol. It changes how you play the game. You stop playing defensively and start playing like an aggressor because you know that every hit you land makes you stronger. It’s a grind, and you’ll probably hate the Leviathan by the time you’re done, but the first time you heal through a massive combo and win a fight you should have lost, it all becomes worth it.
