Kitsune Lord: dungeon boss, complete guide

Kitsune Lord is the second dungeon boss at the 10th floor, regardless of difficulty. He uses the Kitsune fruit and transforms into fox form below 30% HP, gaining agility, damage, and area of effect.

How to get it

No special spawn - he awaits you at the 10th floor of any dungeon as the second boss of the run at all difficulties. His arena is flat, with rocky structures supporting 4 Shrines, one in each corner of the room.

How to defeat him

In Phase 1, he fights like a standard NPC with M1s and Kitsune moves. Below 30% HP, he transforms into Kitsune form - Fox Fire Disruption nearly triples its area of effect, deals extreme damage, and consistently breaks Instinct, so keep your distance. The real danger is Rapid Fire, triggered at 30% HP in transformed form - he unleashes a barrage of Fox Fire Disruptions in front of him and instantly eliminates anyone caught in its radius. You must destroy the 4 Shrines twice (once at his transformation, once below 30% in fox form), and only with moves that have destructible physics - this is the key to the fight.
