Hi there! If you're new to this wiki (or fandom) and plan on making an account, please check out our Rules page, for information on new accounts and some rules to follow.
The Empyrean version grants the user a slightly modified moveset, notable differences being the M1’s, [Z] Sweeping Firestorm, and transformed [C] Burstfire Cannon abilities. When the Power Meter hits 3 tails, the first three M1’s will gain more range, Similar to Dragon M1’s, and the fourth loses some damage in exchange for a large AoE grab that pulls in nearby opponents. It is slightly better than the normal one.
While untransformed, [Z] Sweeping Firestorm shoots a beam at the cursor, which can be held to deal more damage. When transformed, the Empyrean version of [Z] Sweeping Firestorm has a modified animation compared to Kitsune's [Z] Accursed Enchantment. Additionally, the Empyrean version of [C] Burstfire Cannon is granted a special cutscene unique to the mutation.
The user can gain tails passively as well as by dealing damage. The user can transform when the tail meter reaches 3 (the meter will turn rainbow when the user has max tails). The meter will decrease if the user uses an ability and misses (this includes Kitsune's M1s, but these consume less of the tails meter than other abilities).
The tails meter shown above the moveset.
2 tails
3 tails
Transformed Energy
After transforming, the user will slowly drain one third of the tail meter (doesn't passively drain) and will slowly drain if the user takes any type of damage (including lava and water). The user will not passively gain any tail meter while transformed and can only increase the meter by dealing damage with Kitsune (including Kitsune's tick damage).
Tails
1 Tail: No known benefits.
2 Tails: The user gets a speed boost (+100% [2x]) and a dash boost and now runs on all fours. (Air jumping, dashing, and walking will also now have a unique animation)
3 Tails: The user gets three glowing orbs floating around them, and when using the [F] move or an M1 attack, the enemy will deal tick damage by red flames. The DoT effect lasts for 3 seconds, dealing 1 tick of damage every second. Fourth [M1] gets a slightly different visual. First 3 M1s gain extended reach represented by three flaming slashes that are thrown foward, this is exclusive of the Empyrean Kitsune.
Note: This passive does not increase the user's damage in any way.
Heavenly Fox Fur
While transformed, the user gains a 20% damage reduction from all sources, improved attacks, reduced cooldowns, faster speed, jump twice higher than average, and increased dash distance.
Clever Fox's Spirit
When transformed, the user gains the ability to run on Water, but they are not able to idle on it.
Empyrean Mount
When transformed, the user can be mounted by another allied player, via their saddle.
Normal Attack
+
-
The user slashes the air, creating red flame slashes that fly foward. On the fourth slash, the user swipes in a whirlwind style, grabbing any enemies in an extended range into one spot, this move does severely reduced damage to compensate. The last slash has two variations; on the ground, the user swipes downwards, leaving a faint crack for a few moments. In the air, the user kicks the opponent to the ground (Both variations deal the same amount of damage). Once at 3 tails, the slashes will inflict ticking damage and the opponent will be covered in red flames for between 4-5 seconds and the base damage will increase too. Every slash drains the Tails meter by a bit. Jumping right before the final slam or using the M1’s in the air will make the user perform a slash instead of a slam. This attack consumes 7.5% of the visible Tails meter if all 5 M1s are used.

200 Mastery
The user dashes towards the enemy and swipes with their tail, similar to the True Triple Katana [Z] move, Rengoku [Z] move and Kitsune M1's.
This move consumes 15% of the visible Tails meter.
Note: After transforming into a Kitsune, the [V] Transformation move will go on a 2 second cooldown. After untransforming, it will go on a 3 second cooldown.
Even though Empyrean's Z move gives the fruit more overall range, it makes the user vulnerable to counters, so the user could get countered by fruits like Tiger, Dragon, Lightning and even its normal version; Kitsune.
One of the rarest and hardest skins/mutation to obtain, but gives permanent reusability once eaten.
All moves take up some energy from the Tails meter.
Only one movement ability (four in Transformation, compensated by speed boost after gaining two tails).
High mastery requirements. And is separated from the normal Kitsune's mastery.
[TAP] Normal Attack
Enemy can use skills while stunned.
Empyrean m1 attacks above 3 Tails no longer actively grabs like its default version, possibly making this move less effective.
[Z] Sweeping Firestorm
Tap version has one of the lowest damages of all moves, (accommodated by the held version being one of the most damaging).
Has noticeable windup.
Held version is slow to aim and causes strong knockbacks, making it difficult to utilize all of the move's damage.
[X] Tails of Burning Agony
Can bounce off of surroundings resulting in sometimes unpredictable final positions of the opponent or even complete misses.
Works best at close range, despite being able to reach medium range.
This move can force the player underwater if they are not on an island, which can lead to their health being depleted rapidly.
Cannot be aimed up or down, meaning the user has to be at the same height in the air as their target for this move to work.
When used against a wall with an enemy, the player may glitch through thin walls into undesirable spaces.
[C] Burstfire Cannon
Held version has windup, requires precise aim to land, and consumes a huge amount of Tails bar.
Held version does not recover Tails meter.
The cutscene can cause lag to the user.
[F] Wild Assault
Can unintentionally run into attacks such as Skull Guitar [X].
Trivia[]
The word "Empyrean" is derived from greek origins (en - pur) and translates to "in fire"
With 3 tails, the M1’s of the fruit at max tails lets off slash like projectile into a spin with grabbing hands.
The [Z] Sweeping Firestorm (held) can instantly kill a max level player without buffs if it is fully directed.
It is easier to damage laggy players with [Z] Sweeping Firestorm as their hitbox has delay and doesn't easily move.
Kitsune's first three M1 attacks actively grab and stun enemies, so even while the user is moving, the target/s will move along, though this is not the case for Empyrean as once it reaches 3 tails or transformed. Instead, the Empyrean's first three M1 attacks function like Dragon's M1, pushing enemies forward.
The transformed [C] Burstfire Cannon (held) cannot regenerate the Tails meter, despite it being the most damaging transformed move.
On the 6th day of the 2025 Christmas Event, Empyrean was silently updated and its transformed [C] Burstfire Cannon move now has the option for the normal ranged move by tapping it (identical to the normal Kitsune but with red flames), although transformed [Z] Sweeping Firestorm was nerfed and now it temporarily disables the user from using any move while using [Z] Sweeping Firestorm.
When the player reaches 3 tails, the fruit's M1's do significantly less damage than the ones seen on 1 and 2 tails. Though it is compensated by the fact that their range is significantly enhanced.
