How to Beat Kuon: The True Night

This guide section will help you understand and overcome Kuon: The True Night in Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r]. Learn about his abilities and strategies to win.

Alright, so you've made it this far and you're ready to take on Kuon. He's a tough one, but with the right approach, you can definitely come out on top. Let's break down what makes Kuon tick and how you can counter him.

Understanding Kuon's Arsenal

Kuon's main threat comes from his Indulgence Weapons, specifically the Insulator and the Eliminator. The Insulator, also known as the Eternity Killer Loop End, has the terrifying power to rend apart Existence itself. This means any hit from it can threaten guaranteed residual damage, and it's capable of harming In-Births, Voids, and even Re-Births. It's a nodachi with a red blade patterned with bright-red EXS lines. He also wields the Eliminator, a pair of blue, sickle-shaped daggers that are infused with pale-blue EXS. While the Eliminator has been enhanced, making its blades retain their form longer, it's not as strong as a pure Indulgence Weapon. It's said to possess a power that opposes the Insulator.

Strategies for the Fight

When facing Kuon, your primary goal is to manage the pressure he applies. His EXS abilities can be overwhelming, and the residual damage from the Insulator is something you absolutely want to avoid.

• Be Patient: Don't rush in recklessly. Kuon can punish aggressive play hard, especially if you're not careful about his reach.
• Watch for the Insulator: This is his most dangerous weapon. If you see him winding up for a big hit with the Insulator, your best bet is to dodge or block if possible. The residual damage is no joke.
• Pressure the Eliminator: While the Eliminator is still dangerous, it might offer more openings than the Insulator. Try to find opportunities to counter-attack when he's using these blades.
• Learn his Patterns: Like any boss, Kuon has attack patterns. Spend some time observing his movements and attacks. Knowing when to block, when to dodge, and when to strike is key.

A Word of Caution

Remember that Hyde, who only recently became an In-Birth, struggled with the power of the Insulator. This means Kuon, with likely more experience, will be able to wield these weapons with greater ease and power. Don't get discouraged if it takes you a few tries. Learning his moveset is crucial, and you'll get there!
