Kitsune Lord
Kitsune Lord is a Level 3500 Dungeon Raid Boss encountered during Dungeon Raids. As one of the highest-level bosses in the game, it is intended for endgame players and features a challenging fight that demands strong equipment, good timing, and familiarity with its attack patterns. Players should expect a difficult encounter that rewards careful positioning and teamwork rather than relying solely on raw damage.
Location:
The Kitsune Lord is encountered on the 10th floor of a Dungeon, where it serves as the second boss regardless of the selected difficulty. The fight takes place in a large, flat arena with rocky formations supporting four Shrines, one in each corner. During the first phase, the Kitsune Lord fights in a humanoid form, using basic attacks and Kitsune-based abilities. Once its Health falls below 30%, it transforms into its Kitsune form, becoming significantly more agile while gaining stronger attacks and larger area-of-effect (AoE) attacks, making the final phase much more dangerous.
Environment:
During the fight, players must destroy the four Shrines in the arena twice: once after the Kitsune Lord transforms, and again after it falls below 30% Health in its transformed form. The Shrines can only be damaged by attacks with Destructible Physics, making it important to bring abilities that can break environmental objects. Failing to destroy them quickly can make the encounter significantly more difficult.
