Update 197 Raid Farming Tier List for Blox Fruits

Grinding raids in Blox Fruits is the fastest way to get fragments and level up your fighting style, but using the wrong fruit will leave you stuck fighting bosses for hours. The blox fruits update 197 raid farming tier list breaks down exactly which fruits clear raid bosses quickly and efficiently. If you want to maximize your fragment gains per hour, knowing the current meta is the first step.

What makes a fruit good for raid farming in Update 197?

Not every fruit that dominates in PvP works well for grinding. When you are clearing raid bosses, you need abilities that hit multiple targets at once. Area of effect damage is the most important factor because raid bosses spawn with multiple enemies. High mobility also helps you dodge boss attacks while keeping your damage output high.

Which fruits are in the top tier for raid grinding?

The top tier for Update 197 includes fruits that offer massive area damage and high survivability.

Buddha: Still the king of grinding. The transformation increases your hitbox and damage, making it incredibly easy to melt raid bosses without taking much damage.
Dough (Awakened): Offers great mobility and massive area damage. The awakened moves hit hard and cover a wide area, making boss phases very short.
Leopard: Provides high burst damage and good mobility. It requires a bit more skill to land all hits, but the overall damage output is top-notch.
Light: Excellent for clearing lower-level raids quickly due to high mobility and fast attacks.

How do mid-tier and low-tier fruits compare?

Mid-tier fruits like Magma and Venom still work, but they take longer to clear bosses. Magma has great area damage but lacks the mobility of Light or Dough. Low-tier fruits usually lack the area damage needed to clear multiple bosses quickly, meaning you will spend more time in each raid instance. If you plan to switch to PvP after your raid session, you might want to look at the PvP combat tier list for update 197 to find a fruit that does both jobs well.

What are the most common mistakes players make during raids?

Even with a top-tier fruit, poor raid habits will slow you down. Avoid these common errors to keep your fragment gains high.

Skipping the raid chip: Always use a raid chip to start the boss fight. Without it, you just waste time running around the map.
Ignoring boss mechanics: Every raid boss has specific attacks. Learning to dodge the red zones on the floor saves you from dying and restarting the phase.
Playing solo on high-level raids: While you can solo lower raids with Buddha, higher tiers require a team to clear quickly and safely.

How can you speed up your raid farming routine?

To get the most fragments per hour, you need to optimize your routine. First, always check for active 2x fragment codes before you start grinding. You can find the latest active codes on the official Blox Fruits codes page. Second, if a server gets too crowded, server hop to an empty one so you do not have to compete for raid bosses. Finally, make sure your race is upgraded, as V3 and V4 racial passives give significant damage and defense boosts during raids.
