Abilities
| Ability | Description | Move Notes | How To Avoid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magma Fist | The Magma Admiral launches a magma-coated fist that has a decent hitbox. | It deals a decent of amount of damage and also deals knockback to the player if it hits. | Keep a distance. This move travels very slowly. Dash or use Flash Step. |
| Magma Column | The Magma Admiral punches the ground and creates a Column (with the same mesh of the pre-reworked unawakened Flame C move) that disappears and then leaves an AoE area around him that can cause damage if nearby. | He will use this if the player gets close. It also creates a rock barrier which prevents the player from running away. This move deals a lot of damage so be careful. | Limit use of M1 when attacking him at close range for a period of time. Make sure to keep distance because the magma column deals heavy damage and can kill the player quickly. |
Tips & Tricks
- Currently, the ideal choice of fruit to fight him with is his own Magma fruit, as there is a lava pit in the middle of the volcano. While using the Magma fruit, the player is immune to lava. Without the Magma fruit equipped, as soon as the player steps onto lava, they begin taking a very large amount of tick damage. A strategy to beat him would be to do long-ranged attacks, as his movements and attacks have small AoE and range. Keeping a distance will allow the player to dodge more easily.
- Flame is also recommended due to its insane knockback with the X move (Burning Blast). Because of how the arena is shaped, the Magma Admiral will never be flung out of the arena unless he hits a weird spot, but he will respawn in the arena. Due to how the arena is shaped, the user can also get some "stuns" that will make him fall to the ground, unable to move for a couple of seconds. These moves are the previously mentioned X move (which makes it even better for Magma Admiral), the C move (Fire Column), and the V move (Flame Destroyer). However, when he falls to the ground, he can still use his Blox Fruit powers, so the player shouldn't stay too close.
- If the player is a sword or melee main, it is recommended they get a decent damage dealing gun (such as Cannon) and purchase Instinct and Flash Step to get away quickly after attacking. However, these will come at a high cost, at a total amount of
850,000. - One method to defeat the Magma Admiral is to try to perform the "Hit and run". It consists of dodging into the Magma Admiral, landing a hit and dodging away before the Magma Admiral reacts and hits the player. If done correctly and efficiently, the player should be able to consistently land hits on the Magma Admiral without it hitting them. (Note: The player needs to make sure to not run out of energy, otherwise they won't be able to dodge. Use Light or Magma due to them having powerful abilities that can counter and destroy the Magma Admiral). However, this method can be highly risky since the Magma Admiral can use Magma Column if the player is too close.
- Another strategy is to lure the Magma Admiral into the center magma pool and dash in a circle around him. Since Magma Fist is slow, it can be easily dodged and he will not use Magma Column if he is not near the player. The player can then use a stun fruit like Ice or Light to keep the Magma Admiral in place.
- If the player has an Elemental fruit, it is recommended to server hop the Magma Admiral since he is not commonly sought for, and the NPCs on the island use aura, which could be tedious to grind with.
Trivia
- Both Magma Fist and Magma Column were old moves of previously unawakened Magma Z and X, although Magma Admiral's Magma Fist can only fire one shot and Magma Column has smaller AoE.
- The Magma Admiral can walk into lava without taking damage.
- Magma Admiral, Hydra Leader, and Wysper are the only bosses to drop Guns upon defeat. (Excluding the Core)
- The Magma Admiral uses a variant of the Marine Cap and the Coat, although he doesn't gain their buffs.
