Core route

02Fruit Skewer: Firmness +3 and Precision +2

03Core gear: Golden Crown of Arrogance and Crown of Humility

Core route

Use Red Fox with Blade, Rendblade: Heavenrend and Rendblade: Drifting Willow. The endpoint uses normal and final-attack damage, allowing the dual crowns to reinforce a wide critical attack pattern.

  • Talent split: 20 Wrath, 20 Willpower and 10 Ingenuity
  • Fruit Skewer: Firmness +3 and Precision +2
  • Core gear: Golden Crown of Arrogance and Crown of Humility

How to assemble it

Complete Firmness and Precision before filling spare Red Fox inventory with optional damage or survival pieces. The dual crowns matter more to the route's central interaction than reproducing every optional pickup.

How to pilot it

Use the Blade's MP attack early. After the first anvil upgrade, hold normal attack and repeat special attack to release the wide attack pattern. Keep the Blade block available for boss movement phases instead of converting every opening into offense.

Route limits

The exact critical ceiling and final inventory vary, so use the listed engine and choices without treating a fixed damage value as a benchmark.

Upgrade the crown before relying on critical hits

The guaranteed final-hit critical effect depends on fully upgrading Golden Crown of Arrogance. Until then, keep ordinary critical support. At full strength, favor critical damage and survival over assuming every extra critical-chance item is essential.
