How to Play White Fox

  • Don't play her like a backline healer: This is the mindset shift that unlocks her. She is not your standard Strategist who sticks to the backline and pads healing. She's the only hybrid melee and ranged Strategist in the game, and she excels at evading enemy dives and flanks with her teleport and dashes. Treat her as a support who actively fights for space rather than one who hides behind the tank. If you play her passively, you're leaving most of her kit on the table.
  • Abuse the bounce on your healing orbs: Her primary fire is very forgiving and rewards smart angles. The Yeowoo Guseul projectiles are quite chunky, so you simply need to fire them toward your allies without worrying much about missing, and the projectiles bounce off surfaces and automatically turn in an ally's direction. The orbs bounce once off surfaces and heal the nearest allies or damage the nearest enemies after the bounce, which lets her heal and deal damage simultaneously, similar to Invisible Woman. That bounce mechanic gives her unique playmaking around corners, so use walls to reach allies you don't have a direct line to.
  • Time your teleport, don't spam it: The instant teleport to an ally is her signature tool, and it's wasted if you use it on cooldown. It instantly teleports her to allies from afar and grants a brief barrier that blocks projectiles, which can save teammates from death, rescue diving allies, protect flanked backliners, and even deny enemy ultimates if timed right. The key is knowing when to use it, for example when Magneto is about to ult or Scarlet Witch is about to attempt a team wipe, and prioritizing teammates who are sticking together rather than spamming it. Hold it for the moment that actually matters.
  • Build and maintain your Awakened fox form: This is the core of her moment-to-moment gameplay. Maintaining a fully powered Awakened form is by far the most important aspect of her normal gameplay. Building the Spirit Tail energy powers all her strongest skills, including applying Charm to enemies and providing crucial healing or invulnerability to allies. In Awakened fox form she goes on the offense, bursts down targets with quick combos and crowd control, and it doubles as an excellent anti-dive tool that lets her counterattack and even the playing field. Learn the energy economy so you're rarely caught without it.
  • Use your ultimate to engage, not to turtle: Her ult breaks the usual Strategist mold, so play it accordingly. Kumiho Unleashed transforms her into a nine-tailed fox and immediately boosts her health to 900, making her highly durable for a short time. Allies in the circle around you gain life steal, and the ally you right-click gets invulnerability plus healing over time, while you move around and attack with left click. You can't receive healing from allies during this state, but you have lifesteal on your attacks. Since it's not a stationary healing circle like most Strategist ults, use it to engage and help your team push through a difficult fight. One warning: she can be stunned during the ult, so respect enemy crowd control and don't charge into a team holding their CC.

White Fox Combos

  1. Full awakening: Yeowoo Guseul (Left Click) hits until she holds all 3 Spirit Tails, then Fox Form Awakening (E) for the maximum 9 seconds of 40 healing per second around her.
  2. Pounce chain: in Fox Form Awakening (E), Predatory Pounce (Shift) into an enemy to slow them and vault over, Claw Strike (Left Click) and Tail Sweep (Right Click) for 50, then use the second 15 m dash within 5 seconds to knock them away or leave.
  3. Rescue: Spirit Sanctuary (Shift) to a teammate under fire, then Spectral Surge (Right Click) through them. They get 50 healing and a 200-health shield, then 65 more healing and a brief moment of invulnerability.
  4. Kumiho cycle: Kumiho Unleashed (Q), then Blessed By The Nine (Right Click) on whoever is focused, every 2 seconds, and Ninefold Slam (Left Click) into groups, since each hit heals allies within 10 m for 100.

Strengths

  • Spirit Sanctuary teleports her to an ally up to 30 m away with 50 instant healing and a 200-health shield, so one button saves a teammate and gets her away from a diver.
  • Fox Form Awakening heals allies within 10 m for 40 per second for 7 to 9 seconds while she deals damage, so she does not have to choose between fighting and healing.
  • Kumiho Unleashed gives her 1,200 max health and 85 healing per second around her for 10 seconds, and Blessed By The Nine reaches an ally 50 m away with Unstoppable and lifesteal.
  • Spectral Surge charms enemies toward her and makes allies it passes through briefly invulnerable, on a 6-second cooldown.

Weaknesses

  • Fox Form Awakening puts her 275 health within 4 m of the enemy, and heroes who fight well at close range, like Peni Parker and Magik, beat her often.
  • Awakening drains all her Spirit Tail energy when it ends, so after a long brawl she has no Spectral Surge until the tails charge again.
  • Teammates cannot heal her during Kumiho Unleashed, so focused fire on the 1,200-health form gets no help from her other supports.

White Fox Team-Ups and Best Teammates

White Fox has 2 team-up loadouts. Pick one before the match: it always works, and its enhanced effect turns on when the partner hero is on your team.

Lucky Loan team-up icon

Lucky Loan

Partner: Black Cat

Lucky Loan input

A new 25-second ability: White Fox regains a Spirit Tail and for 5 seconds fires homing tails that heal and speed up allies while damaging and slowing enemies by 20%. With Black Cat on the team Spectral Surge and Fox Form Awakening then cost nothing for 6 seconds.

A passive: Fox Form Awakening no longer spends Spirit Tail energy and always lasts its full 10 seconds. With Psylocke on the team its cooldown drops to 12 seconds, so pick it when you want to spend most of the fight healing in fox form.

Fox Form Awakening Duration

Enhanced Effect
Fox Form Awakening Cooldown

  • Black Cat: picking Lucky Loan gives White Fox an orb that returns a Spirit Tail and sends homing tails to heal and speed up allies and slow enemies. With Black Cat on the team she also gets 6 seconds of free Spectral Surge and Fox Form Awakening, and both heroes like to dive.
  • Psylocke: Psionic Fox makes Fox Form Awakening free and always full length at 10 seconds. With Psylocke on the team its cooldown falls to 12 seconds, so White Fox can stay in her melee healing form for most of a fight.
  • A brawl front line: her Awakened and Kumiho healing covers 10 m around her, so Vanguards who fight up close keep teammates inside that radius while she claws next to them.

White Fox Counters

White Fox is weakest when she commits to melee: punish Fox Form Awakening with burst or crowd control, because she stands within 4 m of your team on 275 health and her tails are empty when it ends. Heroes who punish close range, like Peni Parker, or who can chase her down after the teleport, like Magik, handle her best. Track Spirit Sanctuary, her teleport to an ally: it has a 15-second cooldown, so the moment she spends it is the best window to dive her.
