Dual Status Burst Build

Playstyle

Rapidly stack Burn and Freeze status effects through Ice-Fire skills, disrupting enemy actions while accumulating Burn stacks. Utilize Full Combustion to double trigger high damage, with Flame Shield providing survival protection. A control + burst comprehensive playstyle.

Why this set works

Use Frost Descent and Flammable Substance to quickly stack Burn + Freeze dual abnormalities. Flame Shield ensures survival and counter-stacks Burn, then use Full Combustion to double Burn layers and trigger damage for burst finish. Dual abnormality disruption + high burst finisher—this is the most comprehensive playstyle for Nine-Tailed Fox.

Frost Descent

Why pick this skill

Core Ice-type control skill. 0 Energy to directly inflict 4 stacks of Freeze on the enemy. Combined with the trait Soul Burn to simultaneously inflict 4 stacks of Burn. Nine-Tailed Fox's core status initiation skill. Freeze controls enemy actions, while Burn sets up for subsequent burst damage.

Flammable Substance

Why pick this skill

Mark Conversion Burst Build

Playstyle

Use Frost Descent to quickly stack Freeze marks, convert all Freeze marks into massive Burn layers at once through Incineration Brand, then use Full Combustion to double and trigger burst damage. Winter Solstice provides weather environment support. This is a high burst combo playstyle.

Why this set works

Complete Combustion

Why pick this skill

Used with Burning Brand. Doubles high Burn stacks and triggers damage. Assuming Frost's Descent 4 stacks of Freeze dispelled = 20 stacks of Burn, doubled to 40 stacks, the triggered damage is extremely significant. A limit burst combination.

Notes

Nine-Tailed Fox's core mechanic lies in the trait Soul Scorch: Ice-type skills give enemies 4 stacks of Burn, Fire-type skills give enemies 2 stacks of Freeze. This makes Nine-Tailed Fox a unique dual-attribute status stacker, requiring simultaneous use of both Burn and Freeze status conditions.
Base stats: HP 92, Defenses 67/86, Speed 80, Offenses 70/70. A moderately bulky support/disruptor pet, better suited for attrition and status control rather than burst damage.
Skill pool covers: Ice-type control (Frost's Descent, Blizzard, Winter Solstice, Freezing Point, Snowball Fight), Fire-type damage and Burn (Flame Spear, Burning Brand, Full Combustion, Flame Shield, Flammable Material), and support buffs (Warm-up).
Key Synergy: Incinerating Brand dispels marks to convert them into Burn stacks, combined with Burn stacks from Ice-type skills, then using Full Combustion to double and trigger high damage; Flame Shield provides damage reduction + counter Burn, suitable for field presence; Winter Solstice changes weather to pair with Blizzard for physical damage + Freeze.
