Best party partners
Slot Kitsun beside a Pal that covers the Fire weakness chart at /elements, so a single swap answers whatever resists you. Keep one flyer for traversal and one Handiwork Pal for field crafting alongside it.
How to fight a wild Kitsun
Open from behind for the backstab multiplier, keep its Tidal Wave, Solar Beam, Rock Blast, Cross Slash on cooldown by circling, and use the /damage calculator to confirm your weapon clears its 241 DEF before you commit ammo.
PvP notes
Kitsun is a niche PvP pick — bring it for the Kindling partner skill rather than raw stats. Ranked lobbies punish single-element teams, so never stack two Fire Pals.
Boss and raid use
Against tower and raid bosses, Kitsun performs best with a same-type damage move plus a shield-breaking partner. Check the raid rotation notes on /guides before committing a full team.
