Description
Power
Fruit Ninja:
Previously, when using this blade, the fruit would hover in mid air for a brief moment before falling. This power could be useful to score large combos, although there is not a long time before the fruits fall down, so it can be a bit tricky without proper accuracy.
Now, Every time when the Butterfly Knife levels up, 1 of its 3 powers will level up at random. When the Butterfly Knife is at level 10, all of its 3 powers will be at level 3.
Major Power: This power is identical to its classic counterpart, however, fruit will not always hover briefly unless it's at level 3. The chance of fruit hovering briefly at the top of their arcs varies from 50% at level 1, 75% at level 2, and 100% at level 3.
Minor Power 1: Gain bonus XP for every orange sliced. Can gain 3 XP at level 1, 6 XP at level 2, and 12 XP at level 3 per orange sliced.
Minor Power 2: Adds a couple more seconds to the timer in Arcade and Zen mode. Adds 3 seconds at level 1, 4 seconds at level 2, and 5 seconds at level 3.

Currently, this blade has no power.
Its upcoming ability will be called Fruit Flutter.
