The Red Commander is one of the toughest new raid bosses introduced during the Red King Event in Blox Fruits Update 27. Sitting at Level 5000, he brings powerful moves from the Sanguine Art, alongside a few unique mechanics that make the fight more challenging than your usual raid. Here’s everything you need to know, including spawn times, rewards, and the best strategies to defeat him.
Red Commander’s Abilities & Mechanics
The Red Commander uses moves from the Sanguine Art, but with a few changes compared to the player version:
- Z Move – Does not heal the boss.
- C Move – Does not explode or heat-seek if it misses.
- Special Attack – Marked by a growing red circle on the ground. Once the circle disappears, he casts the C move in multiple directions (same y-axis). This spawns orbs that can trap players if they’re caught inside.
- Counterplay – The orbs are instinct trickable, so timing your dodge is key.
Luckily, if you die to the Red Commander, you don’t lose bounty or honor, making it less punishing to attempt the fight multiple times.
Spawn Time & Location
The Red Commander spawns every hour, but his timing is shifted to avoid overlapping with the Lightning Event.
- Spawn Times: 12:30, 1:30, 2:30, etc.
- He appears inside the Oni Realm’s Castle, where players can challenge him directly.
Rewards – Red Commander Drops
Defeating the Red Commander gives:
- 300 Oni Tokens guaranteed.
These tokens are crucial for unlocking event rewards and progressing during the Red King Event.
Best Strategies to Beat Red Commander
Here are community-tested tips to make the fight easier:
- Use Shark V4 or Ghoul V4 Both have strong survivability: Shark V4 provides regen shield on damage, while Ghoul V4 heals when dealing damage.
- Pick Buddha for Range + M1 Damage Pair it with high-damage melee weapons like Cursed Dual Katana (CDK) or True Triple Katana (TTK) for consistent DPS.
- Charge V4 Before the Fight Use nearby NPCs outside the Oni Realm’s Castle to build up your Awakening gauge before entering.
The Red Commander Raid Boss is a high-level challenge that demands coordination and strong builds, but the fight is fair thanks to instinct-trickable mechanics and no bounty loss on death.
His hourly spawn cycle and 300 Oni Token drop make him one of the best targets during the Red King Event, especially for players grinding rewards.
If you prepare with the right race V4, melee weapons, and teamwork, farming the Red Commander can become a steady source of progression throughout Update 27.
