Kitsune Tails
The user passively gains tails by dealing damage. Once the tail meter maxes out at 3 (indicated by a rainbow effect), the user can transform. The tail meter decreases slightly when moves are used but can be replenished by dealing more damage. In transformed mode, the meter decreases when the user takes damage and doesn’t regenerate passively, requiring continuous attacks to maintain the state. 1 Tail: No specific benefits. 2 Tails: Grants a speed boost (+100%), better dashes, and unique animations for running, dashing, and jumping. 3 Tails: Adds glowing orbs around the user that apply blue flame tick damage when attacking with certain moves.
Ancient Strength
While transformed, the user gains 20% damage reduction, improved attack performance, faster movement, higher jumps, and longer dashes.
Beast of the Sea
In transformed mode, the user can run on water, although they cannot stay idle on it. This adds mobility options during water-based combat or traversal.
Kitsune Mount
Transformed users can allow an allied player to ride on their back, providing unique team mobility during fights or exploration.

Expert Advice for Kitsune
The Kitsune Fruit is a versatile powerhouse, ideal for both grinding and PvP due to its high AoE damage, stuns, and mobility. To maximize its potential: Master Tail Management: Maintain aggression to keep your tail meter filled, especially when transformed, as it depletes quickly under damage. Leverage Transformation Wisely: Use it strategically for enhanced mobility and damage resistance but avoid over-reliance as you lose weapon flexibility. Combo Smartly: Chain abilities like Tails of Burning Agony (X) and Fox Fire Disruption (C) for effective crowd control and burst damage.

Focus on mastering Kitsune's unique mechanics to dominate in PvP while enjoying its strong grinding capabilities.
