The Ku Tailed Spirit Sub Ability is a Mode Sub Ability that can be obtained by defeating the Ku Spirit boss, which spawns in the Obelisk Village at 12:10 AM/PM EST with a 1/10 chance.
Description
By holding Z, the user can activate Ku Tailed Spirit, initially starting at Stage 1. The user can switch between stages by holding Z and pressing the stage's corresponding number (except Tentacion Mode), as long as they meet the sub-ability level requirements of the stage. This mode drains 40 MD per second.
For Stages 1-5 of Ku Tailed Spirit, the user goes down on all fours similar to Okami's mode and gains a translucent cloak and tails in the color of their Tailed Spirit, with the number of tails ranging from one to five. In the case of the Ku Tailed Spirit, the tails are bushy.
For Stage 6 of Ku Tailed Spirit, the user's cloak becomes opaque and their face is replaced with a bestial appearance. The user also grows a pair of horns on their head.
For Stage 7 of Ku Tailed Spirit, the user's cloak loses it tails and gains a certain pattern. The user also stands upright.
For Stage 8 of Ku Tailed Spirit, the cloak alters itself to resemble a full-length haori, and regains its tails. The tails are now opaque and have patterns on them.
For Stage 9, the cloak alters itself to resemble a coat, and loses its tails. The user's hair glows the same color as their Tailed Spirit, seven black orbs hover behind them, and two short black rods appear on their outer thighs. The user also appears to be wearing a black body suit underneath their coat, with six tiny circles under their neck and a circle on their stomach.
For Tentacion Mode, the user's cloak mostly disappears except for its tails, with a simple cape appearing on their back and black pigments that resemble long eyebrows around their eyes. Tentacion Mode can only be manually activated by the user when they type and enter !tentacion in the chat. Upon activation, the user will have 50% of their health, and 100% of their Chi, Stamina, and MD restored. However, they will not be able to use Tentacion Mode again for 15 minutes after their MD runs out.
Ability
For Stage 1-4, after pressing Z while in this mode, the user expels a wide stream of steam from their mouth that progressively widens with range, dealing damage multiple times and slowing down enemies significantly. This ability does not use Chi and has a 20 second cooldown.
For Stage 5-6, after pressing Z while in this mode, the user curls up their tails and creates a black ball in front of their face, before launching it at the direction of the cursor, creating a giant explosion that deals damage multiple times upon impact. This ability does not use Chi and has a 20 second cooldown. For Stage 5, pressing Z while holding down right-click allows the user to use the ability from Stage 1-4.
For Stage 7, after pressing Z while in this mode, the users raises their right hand and creates a black ball of energy with steam orbs swirling around it, before throwing it at the direction of the cursor. Upon contact, the ball of energy rapidly emits steam, dealing damage to surrounding enemies multiple times before finally exploding into a large blast of steam. This ability does not use Chi and has a 30 second cooldown. From this stage onwards, the user's speed is significantly boosted, and their dash is replaced with teleport.
For Stage 8, after pressing Z while in this mode, the user summons the Ku Spirit and rides on top of it, which rampages around before creating a ball of energy with steam orbs swirling around it (similar to Stage 7's attack) in front of its mouth and launching it at the direction of the mouse cursor. This ability does not Chi and has a 30 second cooldown. Pressing Z while holding down right-click allows the user to use the ability from Stage 7.
For Stage 9, after pressing Z while in this mode, the user summons the Ku Spirit and rides on top of it, controlling its movements for roughly 10 seconds, during which the user can fire a ball of energy with steam orbs swirling around it (similar to Stage 8's attack, but with lower damage) every 3 seconds. This ability does not use Chi to summon the Ku Spirit, uses 500 MD to fire an energy bomb, and has a chooldown of 30 seconds. Pressing Z while holding down right-click allows the user to use the ability from Stage 8.
For Tentacion Mode, after pressing Z while in this mode, the user summons the Ku Spirit and briefly stands on top of it, before flying towards the direction of the cursor while wielding two black energy bombs with steam orbs swirling around them in each hand. Upon impact, the user creates two giant explosions of steam, damaging enemies hit by them. Meanwhile, the summoned Ku Spirit behaves exactly like the Ku Spirit boss and will automatically attack nearby players with its special attacks for 20 seconds before despawning. This ability does not use Chi and does not have a cooldown. Pressing Q allows the user to use the Z ability from Stage 9. While this mode is active, the user's basic melee attacks emit teal sparks and drain Chi from the enemies they hit, they passively teleport every second in the direction they are moving, and have a chance to automatically dodge an attack.
For Stage 1-8, after pressing Q while in this mode, the user roars loudly, dealing damage to nearby enemies multiple times. This ability does not use Chi and has a 12 second cooldown.
For Stage 9, after pressing Q while in this mode, the user shoots several large black orbs at the direction of the cursor, which explode upon impact and deal great knockback, and are also capable of homing. This move uses 3,700 Stamina and has a cooldown of 13 seconds. Pressing Q while holding down right-click allows the user to use the ability from Stage 7. While this mode is active, the user's basic melee attacks are done with the two black rods, which behave the same as Weapon Ninja Tools.
For Stage 9 and Tentacion Mode, the user can fly up by holding down spacebar and descend by holding X with no cost of Stamina.
