Description in Shop

Dark is an Uncommon Elemental-type Blox Fruit that costs 500,000 or 950 from the Blox Fruit Dealer.

The Dark fruit gives the user the power of darkness to stun, pull, and attack enemies.

Dark is considered a decent Blox Fruit for PvP when awakened due to its long stuns and teleport move, allowing the ease of sword and gun combos if they are fully invested in it instead of Blox Fruit. Due to the rather small AoE and range, Dark is considered a skilled fruit to use.

Awakening

Dark costs 14,500 to fully awaken.

The Dark Lord title #038 will be granted upon awakening at least one move of this fruit.

Overview

Pros (Unawakened)
General Makes it easy to fight Bosses since it flings them away. Good fruit for new players because it is an Elemental and has low mastery requirements so new players can get its full moveset easier and earlier. Decent damage, so coupled with its amazing stuns, it is still a good fruit for fruit mains. Easily obtainable due to its low price. Low mastery requirements.
[Z] Dark Rocks Good range.
[X] Black Spiral Good for trolling. Good stun. High range.
[C] Black Hole Good stun.
[V] Dark Bomb High stun.

Cons (Unawakened)
General Most of its moves have high endlag, so if the enemy dodges, the player can be easily hit. The range and damage is very low compared to other options, even when awakened. Not good for aerial combat. Not recommended for grinding. (Long cooldown) All moves can be punished if missed.
[Z] Dark Rocks Small Hitboxes.
[X] Black Spiral Hard to hit. Decent end-lag. High knockback.
[C] Black Hole Small Hitboxes.
[V] Dark Bomb Bad range. Enemies can still attack while stunned. High knockback.

Pros (Awakened)
General Great stuns, making it an excellent choice for Sword mains or even Gun mains. Good for PvP if the user knows how to use it properly. Has great combo potential. Can PvP in the air. Has easy-to-conquer raids, making an easier awakening process.
[Z] Dimensional Slash Good range. Slight stun.
[X] Abyssal Darkness Decent range. Good stun. Great combo potential.
[C] Endless Hole Good stun. High AoE. Great combo potential.
[V] World of Darkness Good range. High stun. Good AoE.
[F] Ghastly Step Short cooldown, which makes it good for PvP and escaping one-shot Combos. Can be used to create a surprise in a combo, like Flash Step. (But shorter range)

Cons (Awakened)
General Requires good skills and high predictions. Despite being one of the best combo fruits in the game, Shark V3 or Cyborg V3 can counter these combos with their abilities, especially Cyborg, because Dark's awakened X and C moves need to be held, so its V3 ability can disrupt these moves and escape a potential combo. Still not recommended for grinding. Low damage in comparison to fruits of similar or same rarity.
[Z] Dimensional Slash Small hitbox. Hard to control.
[X] Abyssal Darkness Can be punished if missed.
[C] Endless Hole Small range when the move starts, and only increases when held. Can be punished if missed.
[V] World of Darkness Massive end-lag. Hard to land. Can be punished if missed.
[F] Ghastly Step Relatively short range.

Trivia

Dark is not great for aerial combat (unawakened), thus Angel race would be an effective counter.
The Dark raid NPCs have low damage but the player will have a high chance of death if they get stuck in a Dark user's black hole move, since it keeps them in place and allows the rest of the Raid NPCs to attack them freely. It is recommended to have a Buddha user.
To the average eye, there is only one mobility move. However, skilled players can take advantage of another potential mobility move, which is the awakened [Z] move, "Dimensional Slash". In a fight, the user can confuse enemies by using Dimensional Slash on an NPC to quickly teleport away.
Dark Spiral instantaneously teleports to its maximum range when it is aimed at an open space in the air. It is especially dangerous when using shift-lock (whose default direction is forward) during aerial combat.
[F] Ghastly Step has a much shorter range than Flash Step though can be used in the air.
There is a glitch involving Dark [C] not allowing itself to hit Buddha users. This could be most likely due to the confusing hitbox of Buddha. To deal with this, aim it at the body of the Buddha user as that is where the main hitbox mainly is located.
The old version of Dark is used by the Raid Boss, Darkbeard, the Dark Raid NPCs (Darkness/Dark users), the Possessed Mummy NPCs and the Elite Pirate, Diablo (the awakened version), as well as the NPCs and Boss in the Hell Dimension in the Cursed Dual Katana Puzzle.
The Dark users in the Dark Raid are not called Dark Users, instead they are called Darkness Users.
Pre-rework unawakened [V] used to have a bigger explosion.
Awakened Dark [Z] Dimensional Slash have same sound effects with Dark Blade [X] Dark Air Slash
