The Vice Admiral is the level 130 boss who guards the main building of
Marine Fortress (
First Sea). Armed with the
Triple Katana, he has only one ability and respawns every 5 minutes. He gives as much money as
Swan or the Magma Admiral while being significantly easier to defeat - this is the boss the source recommends when you want to farm Beli and
Bounty in First Sea.
It was revamped in Update 30, along with the whole First Sea: its appearance changed. Since that update it also has an awakened form, which is the subject of an island secret at Marine Fortress.
How to get it
In the main building of Marine Fortress (First Sea). Level 130, 4,150 HP, respawns every 5 minutes. He does not use
Aura.

What He Drops

Its two attacks
| Attack | Description | How to Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Air Slashes Barrage | He chains several sword strikes that launch a barrage of air blades. It's a move from the Triple Katana. | Dash around him, or wait for him to use it and rush in to hit him while he's chaining his attacks. Launched at very close range, it's impossible to dodge in time without |
| Violent Rush | It raises its swords and charges straight ahead, leaving behind a trail of blue air slashes that damage on contact. | Dash around it. |
How to Defeat Him
- Trap him in a wall. He gets stuck on certain walls at the bottom of the stairs near his room, and sometimes on the walls of the room itself. In both cases you can hit him from outside without taking damage.
- Stay at range. Long-range weapons, melee weapons, and fruits are recommended: they limit your exposure to Air Slashes Barrage and his close-range attacks.
- Hit and run. Dodge, land a hit, dash before he counterattacks, repeat. Two traps to watch for: don't run out of energy, otherwise you can't dash anymore, and make sure he's still chasing you. As soon as he stops chasing you, he regenerates at high speed.
- With Light. If you've unlocked
Light's [V], you can use it then spam your sword attacks. It doesn't work every time - Light's [V] doesn't stun reliably.
Good to Know
- What he looks like: open white and red shirt, black and white pants, red shoes, the Coat on his back, dark blue hair, and Triple Katana in hand.
- Known bug: due to a hitbox issue at the entrance to his room, sometimes you can't deal damage to him from outside.
- He's the one who represents the Marine team on the faction choice screen when you join a server.
- Be careful of the homonym: Vice Admiral is also a Marine rank in the Bounty and Honor System, unrelated to this boss.
- He's been in the game since Update 1.
Our take
The best time-to-money ratio in First Sea: easy, quick respawn, and just as generous as tougher bosses.
