In Blox Fruits, Instinct (previously known as Observation) is an ability that can be used to dodge attacks and see entities through solid surfaces. It's a useful ability to have if you're looking to avoid taking damage from a powerful enemy's attacks, or are hunting down harder-to-find enemies.
To get Instinct, you'll first need to:
- Be at least level 300
- Complete the Saber Puzzle
After meeting all of these requirements, you'll be able to purchase Instinct from the Instinct Teacher for $700,000.
