Red — A Mere Legend¶
"Red is not regression, but another answer.\ When the Spirit Realm Lord's flame breaks free of its given vow, it grows sharper, shorter — more like a freedom about to slip out of control."
Red is a limited-time rare branch SP Familiar Fox can trigger during the Cursed Moon. It inherits the mana, ring, and reaping loop of SP Familiar Fox, but with a thinner frame, higher-damage Fox Fire Breath and amulet ring — a higher-risk version focused on pressuring enemies in short windows.
Form Profile¶
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Registry name | my_addon:form_familiar_fox_red |
| Classification | Parallel branch of SP Familiar Fox |
| Affinity | Familiar Fox / Limited-time Red branch |
| Combat role | High-risk Sustained AOE / Empowered Fox Fire Breath |
Evolution Requirements¶
Red has two acquisition paths: a limited-time random branch and the Power of the Moon Scar story path (permanent).
Path 1: Limited-time Random Branch¶
| Condition | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Base form | SP Familiar Fox (my_addon:form_familiar_fox_sp) |
| Trigger | During the Cursed Moon |
| Branch check | First check per Cursed Moon has a 5% chance to convert to Red |
| Duration | Receives the ssc_addon_red_expire tag, lasts 12000 ticks (10 minutes), then reverts to SP Familiar Fox |
| Note | The Moon Essence Cross upgrade code also has a Red branch check, but still proceeds to standard SP conversion afterwards; this path documents the stable Cursed-Moon SP conversion logic |
Path 2: Power of the Moon Scar Story Path (Permanent)¶
| Condition | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Prerequisite form | SP Familiar Fox (my_addon:form_familiar_fox_sp) |
| Prerequisite advancement | Unlock the hidden advancement "Power of the Moon Scar" — collect all books related to the Lord of the Spirit Realm: Moon Scar: Lord of the Spirit Realm Chapters 1–8 + Epilogue (9 books) plus the Familiar Research Record FF-E-013 |
| Guidance hint | Once the advancement is unlocked while in SP Familiar Fox form, you receive a one-time whisper hint guiding you to sleep |
| Trigger | Sleep during a Cursed Moon night: the SP Familiar Fox truly falls asleep (using the feral sleeping animation) and transforms into Red upon waking |
| Duration | Permanent — it does not expire and revert like the limited-time branch |
| Reversion | While in the story Red state, use the Moon Essence Cross at any time to freely revert to SP Familiar Fox (without consuming the item) |
| Note | This path does not apply the ssc_addon_red_expire tag, so it is never reverted by the limited-time branch's expiry logic; the two paths are independent |
Active Skills¶
Blue Fire Ring (Primary)¶
Red's basic ring is close to SP Familiar Fox's, but the foxfire duration differs:
- Requires 99 mana to activate, 20 second cooldown after shutdown/drain/purification.
- Affects targets within 6 blocks.
- Sustain check every 4 ticks consumes 1.7 mana (requires mana ≥ 16).
- Damage settles roughly every 16 ticks: 4 damage to non-whitelisted targets plus 4 seconds of Fox Fire Burn.
- Kills during the ring restore an extra 5 mana and heal 3 HP.
With a Blue Fire Amulet, Red switches to its empowered amulet ring: requires 119 mana to activate, sustain cost 2.8 mana per 4 ticks, radius 3.6 blocks, damage settles roughly every 16 ticks for 7 damage plus 3 seconds of Fox Fire Burn, 28 second cooldown.
Crimson Fox Fire Breath (Secondary)¶
Red's breath is far more vicious:
- Costs 20 mana.
- Range 8 blocks.
- 7 damage on hit.
- Applies 6 seconds of Fox Fire Burn.
- 1 second cooldown.
Passive Talents¶
Soul Reaping¶
- Kills restore 10 mana baseline.
- While the Blue Fire Ring is active, kills restore an extra 5 mana and heal 3 HP.
Psionic Veil¶
Red inherits the SP Familiar Fox mana-based reduction: 35% damage reduction at mana ≥ 10, with an additional 20% at high mana.
Spirit Incarnation¶
Red inherits the advanced-spirit status immunities and base Familiar Fox abilities — but this doesn't fully offset its thinner HP pool.
Potion Bag¶
While in Red form, hotbar slot 9 auto-receives a Potion Bag. Leaving Red form removes the bag and drops its contents.
Frail Constitution¶
Red gains an additional −4 max HP adjustment. Higher Breath bursts, smaller margin for error.
Weaknesses & Limits¶
| Limit | Notes |
|---|---|
| Lower HP | Max HP further reduced by 4 |
| Mana dependency | Same imbalance penalties as SP Familiar Fox |
| Engagement risk | Ring needs melee; HP penalty amplifies mistakes |
| Armor limits | No leggings or boots |
| Underwater | Bad for long underwater fights |
Combat Role¶
| Dimension | SP Familiar Fox | Red |
|---|---|---|
| Acquisition | Moon Essence Cross | 5% Cursed Moon conversion |
| Basic ring | 6 blocks, ~4 dmg / 16 t, 3 s Fox Fire | 6 blocks, ~4 dmg / 16 t, 4 s Fox Fire |
| Amulet ring | 3.6 blocks, ~6 dmg / 20 t | 3.6 blocks, ~7 dmg / 16 t |
| Breath | 8 blocks, 6 dmg | 8 blocks, 7 dmg, 6 s Fox Fire |
| Survival | No extra HP penalty | Max HP −4 |
Red emphasizes using empowered Breath to push HP down, then rolling Blue Fire Ring + Soul Reaping for sustain. Don't drag it into low-mana states, don't eat frontal bursts.
