Heavenly Hitter

• Requirements: Crafted In Heaven, high walk speed (100+)

Shift Shards

• Requirements: One Eye Kagune, shift-lock, high walk speed (81-85+)
• Strategy: Use One Eye's Shards move (Z move) at a distance while using shift lock to dodge attacks and have more accurate aim. Since you can still move while using Shards, you're nearly guaranteed to get at least one shard. Use Shards until the boss is dead. This is a 2/10 Super Easy strategy.

Boom Boom Air

• Requirements: Wind Grimoire, high walk speed (90+), jump power (110+)

Speedy Shots

Kitiro Spam

• Requirements: Fragrant Olive Armament, Gan, Legendary Super Human or Springy Limbs
• Strategy: If you don't have enough xp for Gan, equip Gokro or Sasoke and Perfect Susanoo. After killing a player with your sword, unequip Perfect Susanoo. Use the kaioken glitch from Gokro or Sasoke and spam Fragrant Olive C move until the boss is defeated. This is a 2/10 Super Easy strategy.

EZ Guaranteed

• Requirements: Fox Cloak (or Explosive Nova), damage buffing champ that buffs by 1/2 or more (EX: Gan or Astu), Impact Recoil
• Strategy: Before the match starts, equip Fox cloak and your damage buffing champ. Run directly under boss spawn point. Use Impact Recoil to tank damage and spam all moves. This is a 2/10 Very Easy strategy.

• Strategy: Before the match starts, use Rock Paper Scissors 1 minute before battling the boss. Use rps again when your health is in the green.

DIEDIEDIEE!

• Strategy: Before the boss spawns, use all of Kurama moves, then use Magma's "C" move. After Magma's "C" move is done, repeat until the boss is dead. This is a 4/10 Relatively Easy strategy.

Weren't you dead boss?(This works on any boss)

• Requirements: Blink, and 3-10 sniper moves that keep you in the air for 1 second or more
• Strategy: Spam your sniper moves and jump. Use Blink to get away. This is a 2/10 Super Easy strategy.

Immunity

• Requirements: Lord Crimson, Copy Eyes, Itachu, or anything that makes you immune to attacks for 5 seconds, though do take into account that Itachu Champion only gives you immunity when you reach a certain% life. Meteor Shower, Tailed Beast Bomb, Rasen Shuriken, Multiple Color Rasenshuriken, Energy Burst, and Energy Beam
• Strategy: Equip your special (Stand, Bloodline, etc.), Transformation, and best champion. Once the boss has spawned, wait for it to come to you. Use the combination of powers in the order: Energy Burst, Tailed Beast Bomb, Rasenshuriken, Multi Rasenshuriken, Energy Beam, and then after the energy beam has released, use Meteor Shower. Right as you are about to fall down to the ground, use the special to make yourself immune to all attacks. This is a 4/10 Easy strategy.

Freezing Deaths(by Noodlemaster555)

• Requirements: Ice Fruit, a buffing champ, any skillset as long as it helps you stay afloat, and Explosive Nova
• Strategy: First equip your champion, Ice Fruit, and Explosive Nova. Then when the boss spawns, run towards the boss and use Ice Fruit's Z ability and jump. By doing this the boss should freeze, which then you can spam your attacks all at once. This is a 3/10 Intermediate strategy.

Limitless Attack

• Requirements: Limitless Cursed Technique, Max Walk Speed, Max Jump Height, Fallen Down Mastered (Optional)
• Strategy: When the boss spawns, run toward it then jump in the air once, after that, use Fallen Down Mastered to keep yourself in the air, then use Limitless X Move. This is a 5/10 Middle strategy.

Special Swapping

• Requirements: 126 Max Speed and 175 Max Jump and Specials
• Strategy: Stand in the middle of the field where the boss will spawn and use Tusk Act 4 or Made in Heaven and use the V move and it will do a lot of damage. Run away and when you land a hit on the boss, switch to Kagune, use the X move for Eto or Tatara. Switch to your fruit and use X move for Quake Fruit and Dark Fruit and C for Rubber Fruit. Change to a Quirk and use the C move for DOFA or Overhaul and X move for Half Hot Half Cold. Also use Kurama boss drops while sniping the boss with Grimiores. This is a 4.5/10 Medium strategy.

Move Spam (LMAO)

• Requirements: Decent speed and jump, Saruka champion (not necessary, but helpful)
• Strategy: When the boss spawns, use Kurama drops or eto shards to damage him while he runs towards you (or a teammate). Then jump up above him while he circles below you, spam all of your moves, starting with one that changes the way you face. This will make moves like vibration wave and Ice Blast be directed down towards the boss. When you reach middle health due to his energy burst and blast, run away and use Shift Shards while you heal. If you have the Saruka champion, then you will heal while you spam moves and heal faster. Repeat until the boss is dead. If you have other teammates that are also using this strategy, then use the Kurama drops and Eto shards to gradually damage the boss. This is a 4.5/10 Medium strategy.

Flash n' Flee

• Requirements: Thunder Style, at least 100 speed, blink
• Strategy: Spam Thunder's C move, and use Blink to flee. This method can work on every boss due to it being close ranged. You can also use different powers while the move is active to deal more damage. This is a 3/10 Easy strategy.

Tusk V

• Requirements: Guardian's Arm, Tailed Monster Bomb, Spiral Shuriken, Meteor Shower and Energy Burst; 120 Speed, 126 Jump Power, any good chakra or PvP champ like Gan or Maliodus
• Strategy: When Broly spawns, use Tusk's v move and run. He will then rise in the air and use energy burst. When this happens, jump and use Rasenshuriken and Tailed Beast Bomb (if you use this method you will get energy burst). Use energy burst, then come down and use Tusk's V move. He will use Eraser Cannon (a move which will always hit you). Use Tusk's V move, then run. Use energy burst then repeat. Be sure to equip your champ for more dmg, and bijuu cloak for more dmg on Tailed Beast Bomb and Rasenshuriken. (Note: this worked for me in speedy bosses like Broli and Masked Villain) This is a 5/10 Medium strategy.

Starburst Stream Extreme!

• Requirements: Asanu, Night sky sword special, Nine Tailed Fox Bloodline, Springy Limbs, lower jump (especially for smaller bosses), Sasoke is optional
• Strategy: This requires precise clicks and practice. Equip Asanu, Night Sky, and your sword. Stand in front of the location where the boss spawns. Make sure that you can see the countdown so you know when the boss will spawn. About 2 seconds before the boss starts, jump (Having a low jump is key since you want to be off the ground but right in front of the boss.) and use Starburst Stream. As soon as you use it, quickly unequip your Armament and switch to your Bloodline. Use the Nine Tailed Fox glitch to equip Springy-Limbs and Fox Cloak at the same time right before the first hit of Starburst Stream comes out. Do this correctly, and you should do 5000+ Damage. This damage can further be increased if you use the Sasoke kaioken glitch beforehand. This is the current maximum damage you can do without Kitiro. This is a 9/10 Extreme strategy.

Get rekt boss

• Requirements: Meliodas (optional), Nine tailed bloodline, Springlike Limbs, Flying Thunder God, Rock Paper Scissors, Impact Recoil, jump level appropriate for the size of the boss (Ex: For Broly you have to stop low enough to reach him, alongside with All For One.) Beast King and Kurama are an exception
• Strategy: First, turn on Kurama cloak and Springlike Limbs on at the same time. Then, go to the inventory from fighting pass and equip Flying Thunder God only after you turned on your hybrid mode. After this, you should be able to use the c move of Flying Thunder God and Kurama's mode at the same time. Nifty, huh? Well, this will play a major role in beating boss. Also equip Meliodas or any other strength boosting champion. When boss starts, you should already have Kurama's baryon mode combined with Springlike Limbs, and a champion. Go up to the boss, use Impact Recoil to tank the damage, and use Rock Paper Scissors, however, with the Flying Thunder God's c move (I suggest throwing the dodge kunai somewhere and make sure the boss doesn't hit you while you were charging up Rock Paper Scissors). If done correctly, you will get the boss to at least half, and teleport to safety, without even being hurt by Rock, Paper, Scissors. You can do this even when you don't have the maximum hp available needed to normally survive Rock Paper Scissors! The only thing limiting you is the cooldown of Rock, Paper, sissors. This is a 7.5/10 Pretty Difficult strategy.

EZ Guaranteed

• Requirements: Fox cloak (or Explosive Nova) and a damage buffing champ that buffs by 1/2 or more (EX: Gon or Asta), Impact Recoil

Use rps again when your health is in the green, then equip Fox Cloak/Explosive Nova and your damage buffing champ, and then run directly under boss spawn point. Use Impact Recoil to tank damage, then spam all moves. This is an 8/10 Hard strategy.

DIEDIEDIEE!

• Requirements: Magma fruit, Sakura, Gon (for kurama), Meliodas (half dmg and small dmg buff), or Asta (Magma Fruit), Kurama cloak, Springlike limbs, or highest dura move you currently have
• Strategy: Before boss spawns, (At like 2-3 seconds) use all of Kurama moves, then use Magma's "C" move. After the Magma's "C" move is done, your Kurama Moves should be cooled down. Repeat until boss is dead. This is a 4/10 Relatively Easy strategy.

Freezing Deaths(by Noodlemaster555)

• Requirements: Ice Fruit, a buffing champ, any skillset as long as it helps you stay afloat, and Explosive Nova
• Strategy: First equip your champion, Ice Fruit, and Explosive Nova. Then when the boss spawns run towards the boss and use Ice Fruit's Z ability and jump. By doing this the boss should freeze, which then you can spam your attacks all at once. Once you finish spamming as you fall you can use Ice Fruit Z move again when you fall down, where you can jump up again without getting damaged. Repeat until the boss is defeated. This is a 3/10 Intermediate strategy.

Sun Slashing Escape

• Requirements: Sun Style, Sakura Champion, A decent amount of speed, shiftlock, Blink(Optional), Any durability move(Optional)
• Strategy: Run at boss before it uses its lighting move and use Sun Style X move and then run away and use blink to flee (Blink is Optional). If the boss moves its head use shiftlock and jump and turn the camera and the direction you're heading to to dodge the fire beam. Repeat this until the boss is dead. This is a 3/10 Easy strategy.

Tornado Hit

• Requirements: Wind Griomore, High Speed(91 to 96+)
• Strategy: Stay far away from the boss. Keep firing the Z and C attacks at him. Since resting time is very small you can deal a lot of damage to the boss. Also keep a healing champ or a person who can heal you to make this easier. This is a 1.5/10 Super easy strategy.

Explosive Onslaught

• Requirements: Explosive Nova, any damage boosting champion, any high scaling special
• Strategy: Simply run around the boss with Explosive Nova and
