Character Function and Summary
Fox is an AoE DPS that has a 65% chance to Counterattack.
Fox excels at modes where survivability is an issue by having the ability to Taunt and ability to remove own Weakness as well as gain immunity to Mental Ailments. All this makes enemies have a very hard time to defeat or disrupt the teams that he is in.
However, Fox has no self Crit Rate buffs and features a bit of randomness in his Counter with it having only 65% chance. He is also very hard and weird to build, wanting many stats (Defense, Critical Rate, Critical Damage, Pierce, Speed).
You need to build some Speed on him to make sure he’s taking his turns before all the buff supports, this ensures that you won’t waste 1 turn of buffs by him using his Skill 3 to Taunt. Try to use Elucidator Skills after his actions as well to prevent wasting those duration by 1.
The turn limit is Fox’s biggest enemy with how slow and unreliable his damage is. As most of his damage is from his Counterattack, he plays down a turn than every traditional DPS as the enemies won’t have a turn to attack him on turn 6 in most 6 turn modes.
Fox also suffers from being the only DPS that scales with Defense, meaning right now even on CN there is next to no great support you can run with him as all the strong ones are Attack-focused.
Character Synergies
Yuki: Yuki has the ability to buff Defense and grant Shields to 1 target.
Puppet: Puppet is the only Elucidator that scales with Defense, giving Fox more stats from Elucidator stats sharing. She can also grant the party shields.
Cherish (CN only): Cherish is basically the stronger version of Yuki. He can buff Defense and grant the party Shields just like Yuki, but can also provide the party with Down Points to prevent foes Knocking Down Fox with a Physical or Gun Critical Hit, disabling his ability to Counterattack.
Important Awareness / Weapon Values
Awareness 6: The Counterattack multiplier increase is very welcomed as Fox Counterattacks very frequently. However, getting to 100% Pierce is not easy and will take a very good Fox build and some support' Awareness.
Weapon: No rare stats but as Defense buffing is still very rare this is okay. It also takes some time and allies to cap the weapon effects. This weapon is a nice upgrade to the 4 star counterpart but not really needed.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Very hard to lose by running out of HP.
Cons
Scales with Defense, doesn’t work well with all the strong Attack-focused support.
Very low damage and damage ceiling as there are not enough powerful Defense supports.
Counterattack is random and enemy-reliant, it will only become 100% for 3 turns after using his HIGHLIGHT.
One of if not the most demanding DPS to build with little rewards for having a strong build.

Yuki and Puppet both work great with Fox by providing Defense and shields, Rin is here because there’s no better option for Fox support.
