Midnight Blade Blox Fruits – How to Get, Moves & Best Build 2026
The Midnight Blade Blox Fruits is a Legendary sword purchased from El Admin aboard the Cursed Ship in the Second Sea for 100 Ectoplasm. It features the Portal Opening and Crescent Dash movesets — both dealing AoE damage with stun and pull mechanics. It is the same sword used by the Cursed Captain (Level 1325 Raid Boss) and one of the best Second Sea swords for melee-focused builds targeting combo extension and gap-closing in PvP.
Quick Stats
Key numbers before you farm.
Midnight Blade — Legendary Second Sea sword purchased from El Admin for 100 Ectoplasm. Portal-themed moves with AoE pull and stun mechanics.
How to Get Midnight Blade in Blox Fruits
One method — no quest required, just farm Ectoplasm and buy.
Reach Level 1000+
You must be at least Level 1000 to enter the Cursed Ship. The ship is locked below that level — enemies will not spawn and El Admin will not appear until the level requirement is met.
Go to Cursed Ship — Second Sea
The Cursed Ship is located near Graveyard Island in the Second Sea. Sail toward the wrecked ship structure visible off the shore. It has a distinctive dark, ghost-ship appearance distinguishing it from other Second Sea islands.
Farm 100 Ectoplasm
Defeat enemies inside the Cursed Ship to collect Ectoplasm. Ship Deckhand, Ship Engineer, Ship Steward, Ship Officer, and Cursed Captain all drop it. Ship Deckhands are the most numerous — grind them for fastest Ectoplasm accumulation. Earning 100 Ectoplasm also rewards the "The Ghost" title.
Find El Admin and Purchase
Inside the Cursed Ship, head to the sleeping quarters on the left side. El Admin is in one of those quarters. Interact with him and purchase the Midnight Blade for 100 Ectoplasm — no Beli cost, Ectoplasm only.
Midnight Blade Moves — Full Breakdown
Two portal-themed moves reworked in Update 20.
Portal Opening
The user shoots a virtual afterimage of themselves toward the cursor direction, then slashes. On hit, a small AoE domain of quantum energy appears, pulling all enemies within range inward and barraging them with damage for the ability's duration. Stuns Blade users through the entire animation — but does not damage them. Good range and AoE pull makes this the primary crowd control move.
Crescent Dash
The user dashes forward, leaving a blue trail behind. On hitting an enemy, nearby enemies are also pulled in before the user spins and creates an AoE explosion — throwing all pulled enemies forward. High damage, good AoE, strong gap-closer. The blue trail is a visual indicator of the dash hitbox width — aim directly at targets for full pull effect.
| Move | Key | Mastery Required | Effect | Hits Sea Beasts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portal Opening | Z | 1 | AoE quantum pull + barrage damage | Yes |
| Crescent Dash | X | 150+ | Gap-close dash + AoE explosion + pull | Yes |
Best Build & Combos for Midnight Blade
How to get maximum value from both moves.
⚔️ Stat Distribution
Sword Main: Majority of stat points into Sword for max damage scaling. Hybrid Sword/Melee: Split between Sword and Melee for energy recovery and versatile combos. Avoid splitting across too many stats — Midnight Blade rewards dedicated sword investment.
🍎 Best Fruit Pairings
Buddha — AoE size bonus makes Portal Opening hit a wider area. Phoenix — mobility + healing while landing Crescent Dash. Dough or Light — high combo potential pairing well with the pull mechanics. Transformation fruits generally pair better than standalone attack fruits.
🥊 Fighting Styles
Electric Claw — fast stun opener before Portal Opening lands. Godhuman — damage burst during the AoE domain. Superhuman — reliable stun chain. Always open with a fighting style stun before using Midnight Blade moves to avoid Instinct counters.
🔗 Combo Blueprint
Electric Claw [X] stun → Portal Opening [Z] while stunned → Crescent Dash [X] as they recover → fruit finisher. This sequence prevents Instinct-dodging by landing the stun first and using Midnight Blade as the follow-up rather than the opener.

- Legendary Second Sea sword — 100 Ectoplasm from El Admin at Cursed Ship (Level 1000+)
- Same sword used by Cursed Captain (Level 1325 Raid Boss) — same moveset, older model
- Portal Opening [Z]: AoE quantum pull and barrage — stuns Blade users but does not damage them
- Crescent Dash [X]: Gap-close dash + pull nearby enemies + AoE explosion
- Both moves can damage Sea Beasts — useful for sea event farming at Level 1000+
- Both moves easy to Instinct-trick — always open with a separate stun before using moves
- Upgrade at Blacksmith for +20% damage boost
- Best for: Second Sea PvP combo extension, gap-closing melee builds
Midnight Blade vs Other Second Sea Swords
How it compares to alternatives available at the same progression stage.
| Sword | How to Get | Best For | Instinct Break | Sea Beast |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Midnight Blade | 100 Ectoplasm (El Admin) | Combo extension, AoE pull | No | Yes |
| Canvander | Beautiful Pirate drop | Fast combo, X-dash | Yes | No |
| Pole (2nd Form) | Rip_Indra boss | Long range, AoE | Yes | No |
| True Triple Katana | 3 Legendary Swords combined | High damage, all-around | Yes | Yes |
Midnight Blade's main edge over most Second Sea swords is its ability to hit Sea Beasts — valuable for sea event participation at this level range. Its AoE pull domain is also unique, giving it a niche even when Canvander or Pole outperform it in pure PvP damage. Players who spend time on sea content will get extra utility from Midnight Blade that other Second Sea swords do not provide.
Upgrading Midnight Blade — Blacksmith Guide
The upgrade is straightforward and meaningfully improves both moves.
Upgrade Materials
Visit the Blacksmith NPC (found in the Second Sea hub area). Upgrade requires materials gathered from Second Sea enemies and chests — exact materials vary by version but typically include mid-tier crafting components. The upgrade adds +20% damage to both Portal Opening and Crescent Dash.
Is the Upgrade Worth It?
Yes — at 100 Ectoplasm cost with no Beli attached, Midnight Blade is essentially free. The +20% upgrade is cheap relative to the sword's total value and keeps it competitive deeper into the Second Sea level range. Upgrade it immediately after purchase before grinding further content.
Who Should Use the Midnight Blade?
Ideal player profiles for this sword.
✅ Good For
Players who just entered the Second Sea and need a free Legendary sword fast. Melee-focused builds targeting combo extension over raw damage. Sea event grinders who need a sword that can hit Sea Beasts. Players who want the "The Ghost" title as a bonus for reaching 100 Ectoplasm.
❌ Not Ideal For
Players targeting top-tier PvP at Level 1500+ where instinct-bypassing swords like Canvander or TTK outperform. Players who already have True Triple Katana or Tushita — Midnight Blade is an interim weapon in that progression, not a permanent endgame choice.
📈 Progression Path
Midnight Blade → True Triple Katana (combined from 3 Legendary swords) → Tushita or Yama at 350 mastery → Cursed Dual Katana (endgame). Midnight Blade sits at the entry level of this chain and is the natural first step for new Second Sea players. Check our Tushita guide for the next upgrade after Midnight Blade.
🎭 Fun Factor
Midnight Blade has one of the best visual effects of any Second Sea sword — the blue portal domain and quantum afterimage are visually distinctive. For players who value aesthetic alongside function, it is one of the most satisfying swords to use at this progression stage.
