Control Fruit

Control Fruit

Mythical Natural Domain The core idea is “open your Domain first (Domain Control)”: inside your Domain, switching modes, crowd control, movement and burst all flow more smoothly.
📝 In one sentence:
Control = your Domain = your rules. Many of its strongest moves can only be used inside the Domain, and upgrading brings it closer to its “complete form.”
Key reminder: Admin Panel upgrades need “Fragments + Simulation Data + Scrap Metal”; you mainly farm the materials in the Simulation Dungeon.

📌 Fruit Overview

  • Rarity: Mythical
  • Type: Natural
  • Shop price: $9,000,000 (Beli) / 4,000 (Robux); raised from $3,200,000 after the Update 29 rework, so prices in older videos no longer apply
  • Role: crowd control and burst in PvP, block-based AoE for farming (PvE); Anti-Drowning Protocol is a fruit passive, not a Tier 4 Admin Panel upgrade
  • Modes: inside the Domain you can switch between “Dagger Mode” and “Fist Mode,” and the moves feel very different
⚠️ Common beginner mistakes:
① Outside the Domain you can still use M1, X, C and F, but not V; press Z to open the Domain first.
② To use the hold-V digital-world version, besides completing Upgrade 3 “Total Control Override,” the Domain gauge must be full and you must charge for at least about 3 seconds.

🛒 Obtainment

You can buy Control, roll it from the gacha, or trade with players for it:

🧩 Three Modes & Full Moveset

Two controls to remember:
✅ Outside the Domain you're in “Basic Mode”; after pressing Z to open the Domain, you can switch between “Dagger Mode” and “Fist Mode.”
✅ Inside the Domain, tap Z to switch between Dagger and Fist Mode; hold Z to close the Domain. After Upgrade 2, tapping Z while outside the Domain moves the Domain to where you are.

Mode Key Skill Mastery Key Points
Basic / Dagger M1 Dagger Combo 1 Tap for a four-hit dagger slash combo; usable in both Basic Mode and Dagger Mode inside the Domain.
Domain Z Domain Control 1 Outside the Domain, it opens the Domain; inside, tap to switch between Dagger and Fist Mode, or hold to close it. Holding while opening doesn't make it bigger; only after completing Room Relocation Protocol does the Domain get slightly larger and become recallable from outside.
Basic X Slice N' Dice 150 Dashes forward; on hit, teleports behind the target for a flurry of slashes. This is the outside-Domain version.
Basic C Gamma Blade 250 Throws a horizontally spinning dagger; on hit, it pulls the target back to you.
General F Transmutation 75 Throws a dagger and teleports to it, slashing repeatedly on hit. Used on blocks created in Fist Mode, it raises their damage by about 50%.
Dagger M1 Spatial Cleave 1 Tapping is still Dagger Combo; holding lets you cut objects, and it can only hit players after Upgrade 1.
Dagger X Slice N' Dice 150 Zigzags forward across blocks; on hit, slams the target into a block and follows up with slashes.
Dagger C Gamma Blade 250 Fires three spatial slashes; aimed together they form one large damage-over-time zone, spread out they form several smaller zones.
Fist M1 Levitate 1 Pulls a block out of the surface you select; hold to enlarge it up to about three times. You can select multiple blocks and throw them together; unused blocks vanish after about 15 seconds.
Fist X Slice N' Dice 150 On hit, bounces the target between eight blocks before slamming it into the ground; on a miss, smashes five blocks into the targeted area.
Fist C Gamma Blade 250 Pulls four hexagonal pillars out of the Domain's edge and smashes them into the target spot; low ceilings can block the pillars.
Inside Domain V Total Concentration 350 Usable in both Dagger and Fist Mode. The tap version unleashes a flurry of attacks on hit and ends the Domain; the hold version needs Upgrade 3, a full gauge and at least about 3 seconds of charging.
Weapon pairing: Control's Domain extends the range of Koko's moves, making it a great fit for Control + sword builds.

🧪 Admin Panel Upgrades & Materials

Prepare before upgrading:
✅ 12,500 Fragments
✅ 2,300 Simulation Data
✅ 50 Scrap Metal
✅ 1 Physical Control Fruit (for the Upgrade 3 research requirement)
Open the Admin Panel through the Mysterious Scientist. Simulation Data mainly comes from the Simulation Dungeon, while Scrap Metal is a common material. El Admin is on the Cursed Ship and is not the Admin Panel NPC.

Upgrade Name Cost Requirement Effect
1 Spatial Cut Authorization 500 Fragments + 100 Simulation Data + 30 Scrap Metal Mastery 200; clear 1 Normal Dungeons Spatial Cleave (hold M1 in Dagger Mode) can hit players.
2 Room Relocation Protocol 2,000 Fragments + 200 Simulation Data + 20 Scrap Metal Mastery 300; clear 3 Dungeons Lets you recall the Domain to your position even from outside it (easier follow-ups and chasing).
3 Total Control Override 10,000 Fragments + 2,000 Simulation Data Mastery 500; hit enemies 100 times with Dagger Mode M1, and eat 1 Physical Control Fruit while you already have Control With a full gauge, hold V for at least about 3 seconds to cast the digital-world version of Total Concentration.
Anti-Drowning Protocol is not Tier 4: Anti-Drowning Protocol is a Control passive: touching the sea automatically creates a hexagonal platform you can stand on. It uses no Energy and doesn't need the Domain open; it is not a Tier 4 Admin Panel research.
📍 Simulation Dungeon quick notes:
Normal: 15 floors | Hard: 20 floors | Challenge: 100 floors; only Challenge has a 15-minute time limit (+30 seconds per floor cleared). Hard takes 200 Simulation Data to unlock, Challenge takes 1,000.

⚔️ Combat Tips

✅ Farming / Leveling (PvE)

  • Fist Mode: Use Levitate for wide-area hits; the bigger the block, the higher the damage.
  • Buff your blocks: Transmutation gives blocks +50% damage — great for clearing mobs.
  • Avoid knocking mobs away: some hits send mobs flying, so try "tap 3 times → pause → tap again" for more consistency.

✅ PvP

  • Opener: Open Domain Control first, then use Dagger Mode X/C to close in and control the fight.
  • Burst: V (Total Concentration) inside the Domain is very oppressive; the hold version requires Upgrade 3, Total Control Override.
  • Chasing: With Upgrade 2, you can recall the Domain so your combo doesn't break when the opponent runs out of it.
Recommended build:
Control suits both fruit-main and sword-main builds: it offers crowd control, mobility and combo extensions. For the biggest noticeable boost, prioritize Upgrade 2 and Upgrade 3.

❓ FAQ

Q1: Why doesn't V do anything?

First make sure you're inside your own Domain. The tap version can be cast anywhere inside the Domain; the hold (digital world) version also needs Upgrade 3, Total Control Override, a full Domain gauge and at least about 3 seconds of charging.

Q2: Why can't my held M1 hit players?

You need Upgrade 1 (Spatial Cut Authorization) first. Also, Spatial Cleave is only the held M1 in Dagger Mode.

Q3: Can the Domain follow me?

Yes, but you need Upgrade 2, Room Relocation Protocol, first. After that, you can recall the Domain to your position even from outside it.

Q4: Is Anti-Drowning Protocol the Tier 4 upgrade?

No. Anti-Drowning Protocol is a Control passive; the Admin Panel currently has only three researches. If the passive works differently in-game from what's described here, go by what the current game shows.
