Fox (Kitsune) Build

🎯 Build Overview

Fox shines as a calm, ranged pick with luck that scales each level. The Fox Best Build leans into clean spacing, fast shots, and safe loops that never slow down. You keep foes at mid range, stack luck to raise offer quality, and turn that into steady crits and smooth clears. This path feels chill at first, then it ramps fast once your core tomes hit key tiers.

Luck does more than feel good. It keeps shop rolls clean, bumps drop tiers, and makes each wave feel rich. You can read more on kitsune lore here: Kitsune background. That theme fits Fox well, since your run is part skill and part fate. Keep your aim calm, keep your kite wide, and let the luck engine do the rest.

⚔️ Core Weapons (with official art)

This kit favors fast shots and safe reach. Pick two main arms and one safety tool. Keep swaps tight so upgrades stay focused.

Revolver

Revolver is the best all-round pick for Fox. It fires fast, scales well with extra shots, and keeps crits steady. It also helps keep the field clean while you kite. If you only lock one arm, make it this.

Bow

Bow brings pierce and line clear, which helps in dense waves. It feels slow at first, yet it grows well with shot count and damage. Use it when you want long lanes and boss poke with less risk.

Sniper Rifle

Sniper is for clean boss hits and big burst. It feels slow, so pair it with a wave tool. Its long reach fits Fox since you can stay far and still hit hard.

Lightning Staff

Lightning Staff adds wave control that works while you move. It tags packs and keeps chip foes off your back. Use it as your wave slot when Bow or Revolver alone feels thin.

Aegis

Aegis is your panic layer. It blocks hits and buys time to reset range. Fox is not a tank, so this tool keeps the run safe when a pack slips in.

Aura

Aura is a close guard. It melts small foes that cross your line. If you dislike Aegis, Aura is a fine shield for tight maps or odd spawns.

📚 Tome Priority (facts only)

Your best tomes feed more shots, more speed, and stable luck. Lock them early and keep the path tight.

Quantity Tome

More shots means more hits, more crits, and faster clear. This is your top scale tool. It boosts both wave clear and boss burn in a clean way.

Damage Tome

Damage Tome keeps your output from sagging in late waves. It pairs well with fast fire since each hit gains more weight. Use it once you feel safe in pace.

Cooldown Tome

Cooldown Tome adds fire pace and keeps skills live. It also smooths the feel of Revolver and Sniper. This tome helps you keep range with less delay.

Luck Tome

Luck Tome is not a crit tool, yet it is vital for Fox. It lifts offer tier and makes good items show up more often. This is the best way to keep your run clean.

Shield Tome

Shield Tome is a safety pad. It lets you stay bold in close lanes or high curse runs. Take it if you want less risk and more time to reset range.

XP Tome

XP Tome speeds level gain so your luck scales faster. It is less raw power than the core set, yet it keeps your path on pace.

🎁 Key Items (verified effects)

These picks fit Fox and keep the luck loop smooth. Grab them as soon as they show.

Clover

Clover lifts luck and keeps shop rolls strong. It does not boost crit by itself, yet it helps you find crit gear. Take it early to keep offers clean.

Battery

Battery adds attack speed, which means more hits per wave. It pairs well with Cooldown Tome to keep your pace high. That pace is key for safe clears.

Forbidden Juice

Forbidden Juice adds crit chance, so it is a true damage lift. It works best when your hit rate is high. This is your main crit gain in most runs.

Tactical Glasses

Tactical Glasses give bonus damage to high HP foes. This helps you crack elites and boss bars early. It is a strong mid run pick for safe boss openers.

Eagle Claw

Eagle Claw is a niche boost for air foes and can help in maps with float mobs. Use it when those waves slow you down. It is a fast fix, not core.

Mirror

Mirror buys a brief safe frame and can save a run. It is great when you need a calm reset in tight waves. Keep it for high risk runs.

Phantom Shroud

Phantom Shroud buffs your next hit after an evade. This fits Fox since you dodge a lot. It is a good mix of speed and burst.

Power Gloves

Power Gloves add splash on hit. With fast fire, this procs often and clears packs. It also helps if your wave tool lags behind.

Time Bracelet

Time Bracelet adds XP gain, which speeds your luck ramp. It is a calm pick that keeps your plan on pace with less risk.

📈 Recommended Progression

These steps are a guide, not a cage. Adapt to your drops and map flow.

Establish Safe Ranged DPS

Start with Revolver or Bow, then keep range and clear clean lines. Take Quantity or Cooldown when you see them. Move wide and do not stand still. If the map is tight, add Aura early for a close guard.

Enable Luck Engine

Add Luck Tome and Clover once they show. That pair lifts offer tier so you can lock strong gear fast. Add Battery if it drops, since pace makes the luck loop pay off.

Scale Damage

Stack Damage Tome and add Forbidden Juice. This is where you shift from safe to strong. If bosses feel slow, add Sniper as a boss slot and keep your wave tool as the main clear.

Add Defense

Pick Aegis or Shield Tome if you see chip hits. A good run can still fail from one bad wave, so a safety pick is worth it. Mirror is a fine add here too.

Polish & Adapt

Keep your core tomes high and swap niche items as you see map needs. If air foes spike, add Eagle Claw. If packs feel dense, grab Power Gloves for more splash.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

❌ Confusing Luck with Crit

Luck raises offer tier, not crit rate. You still need crit tools like Forbidden Juice. Keep both in mind so damage does not stall.

❌ Over-greeding on Weapons

Three arms is plenty for Fox. Four can dilute upgrades and slow your main path. Keep a tight kit and stack levels into it.

❌ Neglecting Defense

Range helps, but it does not block all hits. Add a safety layer once waves speed up. Aegis or Shield Tome saves runs.
