Combo

A  is a bonus scoring for when you slice 3 fruit or more in one swipe. Each combo is worth double the amount of the fruit sliced. Combos are key to getting high scores and performing a blitz. Note that the timing required in Fruit Ninja Classic (The Older Versions of The Free Version Of Fruit Ninja) and other games is different. In Classic (And The Older Versions Of The Free Version Of Fruit Ninja), the player must be much faster when aiming for combos, as too slow of a slicing speed will not register the slice as a combo.

How to get large combos
Getting large combos requires the methods.

Method 1
Wait for as much fruit as possible to come up. Then, slice all of it before it drops. This method can be used in any mode. However, be wary of bombs, as one can disrupt gameplay or end the round altogether.

Method 2
Several blades and dojos will either spawn large amounts of fruit, or make it much easier to achieve combos. Use them to your advantage and find out which ones pair together the best. (Note: As of right now, only the Candy Cane and Holly blade have powers in Fruit Ninja. This method can still be used in Fruit Ninja Classic)

Method 3
This method is for arcade mode, and makes use of the Frenzy and Freeze bananas. Occasionally these bananas may spawn while another is already active. Frenzy and Freeze bananas combine together really well. They will allow you to get multiple combos in sequence as the large amount of fruit spawned will be slow enough to slice. Watch out for bombs as they will negate any banana bonus or blitz that you have activated.
