I - Attributes



Strength (35) - You will need 35 Str to be able to use your Ghoulish Reaper Blade.
Intelligence (22) - You need 22 Int in order to equip your Lvl 5 Alchemist's Heavy Cloth.
Dexterity (73) - You need 73 Dex to allow you to equip your Lvl 25 Gruesome Evidence Bracer and your Champion's Fine Platinum Band. You will also need Dex as it increases the foxes skill damage.

II - Skill Build/How to use



Vs Bears, Foxes or Birds -
Use Rage Tonic, Fury and then Evasion but wait till as late as possible before using evasion as it is very important that you use every second. After using your buffs you will need to use Rabid Bite then Hamstring, this will perform the combo "Slam" make sure you do this as quickly as possible, before the bear uses Hellscream or the fox uses hypnotize or the bird uses Root. After performing the "Slam" combo use Hypnotize, Vixen Kick, Howl, Poison Dart, Poison Needles then repeat.

Slightly different please read properly.

Vs Mages Rhinos or Birds -
Use Rage Tonic, Fury and then Evasion but wait till as late as possible before using evasion as it is very important that you use every second. After using your buffs you will need to Rabid Bite then Hamstring, this will perform the combo "Slam" make sure you do this as quickly as possible, before the bear uses Hellscream or the fox uses hypnotize or the bird uses Root. After performing the "Slam" combo use Hypnotize, Howl, Poison Dart, Vixen Kick this will perform the "Knock Out" combo this is very hard to integrate in to builds and is not strictly necessary, Poison Needles.

All these sets can be used Vs whatever its just what i advise.

IV - Combos

Slam - Slam is the main combo that foxes use, without it you will lose every fight, it is performed by using Rabid Bite and then Hamstring.

Knock Out - Knock Out is a fairly unknown combo, it is usually performed by accident it is very useful Vs Mages as a double combo as it is pretty much Death to a pathetic little mage. It is performed when Vixen Kick is used 3 - 4 seconds after Hamstring, i only recommend this combo vs Mages. You can use this straight after doing "Slam" combo which makes it highly effective and convenient.

Buried - Buried is pretty much a useless combo, it is rarely used (maybe by accident) but those who try to use it are extremely stupid, experimenting or very pro. It is performed when Rabid Bite is used with hamstring causing "Slam" you must then wait 3 - 4 seconds and use Vixen Kick causing "Knock Out" You must then use hamstring again straight after causing "Buried"

Thanks for reading my guide, constructive criticism is welcomed, please take into account it is my first guide. Please inform me of any grammatical errors or factual.

nice guide!

[HeyitsTubs]

which is better though, lvl 20 pink cutter, or lvl 20 guru hammer?

[ICutter]

Cutter, becasue you can use more Dex with it

[HeyitsTubs]

ah i see. thanks

[ICutter]

which is better though, lvl 20 pink cutter, or lvl 20 guru hammer?

Yes, just because i was curious i decided to test the plat pack that you mentioned, in my opinion its like trying to eat spaghetti with a knife, mint cutter is definitely the best option.

May I ask why would you use high hamstring at 25, no classes there have dodge and upgrading hamstring has little damage increase, I would personally use the skill points on high dmg skills such as needles/vixen or armour shredder if you're experienced.

He probably just means that there isn't enough dodge to make a big difference in fights. There aren't really any classes that use dodge buffs at those lower levels other than other foxes and the occasional bird and since most around those levels are bears or mages who don't use dodge buffs you really don't need the high hamstring. I have to agree with utimate about putting the points into needle, it does some good damage and high crits while also slowing down your enemy helping to prevent them from kiting as much.

I use high hamstring because of the increased chance to stun. The stun on hamstring helps to keep your opponents still so that you can triple combo them or double. It also stops bears from charging you down after stomping you away. Also in response to no classes using dodge, you obviously havnt looked at the classes properly rhinos, foxes and birds use dodge. Shredder is a BIG NO, how about you try shredding before using hamstring, by thay time you have been frozen or even stomped away.

[Hurikaz]

knockout doesnt happen by accident lmao..


Rapid + hamstring = slam
wait till rapid is ready again and use vixen kick = knockout
if u hit rapid bite after that again = buried

I disagree. Armor Shredder takes about the same time, maybe even less than doing Rabid+Hamstring, I actually used a high armor shredding build and it did very well against Bears. Also even if you were happened to get stomped away, there's a chance your Evade can dodge, as well as Hypnotize to pull them in. I also prefer a higher level of fury as well so that every skill I have may hit a Bear, which is basically all of them seeing how with L1 fury, hit is probably close to 105-110%.

So your suggesting that using 3 skills takes the same time as 2, even tho there is a cool down between skills and a time taken for the skill to be used. Also by the time you have re approached your enemy after Shred your combo time will have ran out.

[Vvriter]

high ham is the way to go if u can avoid all fights with bears otherwise rmor shredder works better
no contradictions

Which won't happen seeing how the population is 55% Mage, 50% Bear, 3% Fox, 1% Bird, & 1% Rhino. I highly don't recommend High Ham because that can't beat Bears at all at this level, & can still lose to mages, and there's definitely no chance of winning if they MS. High Armor Shredder is my recommended because you can still beat Mages if you time it correctly, regardless if they Heal. This is mainly due to the fact that high Armor Shredder eats through MS.
