Beast Breathing

Beast Breathing (Kedamono no Kokyu) is a wild and aggressive Special ability in Anime Fighting Simulator Endless. Modeled after the self-taught style of Inosuke Hashibira from Demon Slayer, this power set focuses on raw physical aggression, erratic movements, and sensory perception.

It is considered a Sword-Style special, meaning it scales primarily with your Sword stat, though some adaptations may rely on Strength. It is an excellent choice for players who prefer a “rushdown” playstyle, overwhelming opponents with a flurry of attacks.

Abilities and Skills

Beast Breathing is unique because it mimics the movements of wild animals, prioritizing unpredictability over discipline.

1. First Fang: Pierce (Ichi no kiba: Ugachi)

  • Description: The user stabs with both blades simultaneously in a forward lunge, resembling a boar’s tusk attack.
  • Type: Single Target / Gap Closer
  • Damage: High Burst
  • Cooldown: Short (approx. 5s)
  • Tactical Tip: Use this to close the distance instantly. It has a fast startup (almost instant frames), making it hard to react to in PvP. It’s your primary engagement tool.

2. Third Fang: Devour (San no kiba: Kuizaki)

  • Description: A violent cross-slash that tears through the enemy’s defenses, mimicking a bite.
  • Type: Melee AoE
  • Effect: Bleed (Deals % HP damage over time for 5 seconds).
  • Tactical Tip: The bleed effect prevents enemies from regenerating health efficiently. Use it early in a duel to apply pressure, then retreat while the DoT (Damage over Time) ticks down.

3. Seventh Form: Spatial Awareness (Shichi no kata: Kukan Shikikaku)

  • Description: The user stabs their swords into the ground and uses enhanced touch to sense vibrations in the air.
  • Effect: Reveals all nearby enemies within a large radius, highlighting their silhouettes even if they are hiding behind walls or invisible.
  • Utility: Scouting / Anti-Stealth / Wallhack
  • Tactical Tip: Essential for finding players in Hide and Seek modes or spotting campers in PvP zones. It effectively gives you “wallhacks” for a short duration. Activating this does not deal damage, so use it before the fight starts.

Synergy & Best Build

Beast Breathing relies on aggression. You need a build that supports staying in the enemy’s face.

  • Weapon: You must equip dual swords or the specific Jagged Katanas. While it works with any sword, the dual-wield animation frames are slightly faster with jagged blades.
  • Champion:
    • Inosuke: Thematic accuracy and boosts Beast Breathing damage by 15%.
    • Zoro: Provides general sword buffs and durability, allowing you to tank hits while trading damage.

  • Special: Combine with Haki (Armament) to increase your raw cutting power.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Is Beast Breathing better than Water Breathing?

Beast Breathing is more offensive and chaotic, focusing on damage output. Water Breathing is generally more balanced with better defensive options and fluid combos. Choose Beast if you want to play aggressively.

Does Spatial Awareness show invisible players?

Yes. It is one of the few counters to Invisibility or stealth quirks.

Can I use this without swords?

No. Beast Breathing is a Sword Style. You need a weapon equipped to use the offensive skills, although Spatial Awareness might work without one in some versions.
