| It's vital to come up with a strategy for dealing with the sporetail pups this kemono leads against you in combat. When the parent rodent is angered, the pups become considerably more aggressive, so you want to finish them before they can cause you trouble. With shrewd observation of the sporetail as it summons its young, and well timed use of star bomb karakuri, you should be able to control the situation. | |||

A Sporetail's head is the weakest part on its body, targeting this area has a high chance of staggering the Sporetail leaving it open for more attacks.
Sporetails are extremely weak against Fire due to their Wood attribute. Exploiting this elemental advantage makes the hunt much smoother.
Although a Sporetail's moveset is similar to the Ragetail's, its attacks can no longer be blocked by crate karakuris. Use a bulwark karakuri instead to ensure blocks and staggers against a Sporetail.
The Star Bomb Karakuri is also extremely useful for this fight, as it deals high damage to the Sporetail and instantly kills any Sporetail Pups nearby.
After every attack, the Sporetail will have an idle moment giving you a window to land free hits without worrying about getting hit. We highly recommend using jump attacks from bulwarks to maximize this damage opportunity.
The most challenging aspect of the hunt will be the Sporetail Pups. These small kemono help out their parent during the fight by lunging at you, and throwing or releasing fatigue-causing smoke which causes you to fall asleep and making you open for attacks.
You can use a Star Bomb Karakuri to clear the pups, or attack them with your weapon to fill you weapon gauge.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Claw-based Attacks | Sporetail uses its claws for quick strikes to keep the hunters away. This attack has two variations. |
| Tail Based Attacks | Using the mushroom at the end of its tail as a blunt weapon, Sporetail uses its tail to damage a large area. This attack has multiple variations. |
| Lunging Body Slam | A slow attack that covers a wide area of effect. |
| Charge Attack | An attack that can drag hunters on the Sporetail's path, continuously damaging them. |
| Fatigue-based Attacks | An attack that does not do damage but causes fatigue, making hunters fall asleep if they are not able to run away in time. |
| Enraged State Attacks | A Sporetail's enraged state comes with unique and more dangerous attack patterns that make the fight harder as it nears its end. |
| Claw Strike Variations |
|---|
| Quick Claw Strike: Sporetail will quickly claw you when you are in front of it. Although this attack deals less damage, it can be hard to notice as it hardly has any indicators. |
| Lunging Claw Strike: When Sporetail wobbles its head, it will lunge at a short distance to attack with its claw. Avoid this attack by dodging to the left or right. |
| Tail Attack Variations |
|---|
| Tail Slam:If Sporetail lifts the rest of its body using its forelegs, it will slam its tail behind. Avoid this attack by dodging sideways. |
| Tail Swipe: Sporetail will do a quick swipe in one direction without indication. You can avoid this attack by dodging backward, or setting up a Karakuri Crate. |
| Extended Tail Swipe:When Sporetail briefly stands on its hind legs, it will swipe its tail in a circular motion. Avoid this attack by dodging backward. |
| Lunging Body Slam Attack Information |
|---|
| Lunging Body Slam: Sporetail will lunge forward and use its entire body to crush a wide area. We recommend sliding away from this attack as the Sporetail lets it body fall. |
| Charge Attack Information |

| Charge Attack:If Sporetail creates a distance from you and wags its tail, it will Charge at you. You can dodge sideways to avoid damage or set Karakuri Crates in its charge path to briefly stagger the Sporetail. |

|---|
| Spore Release:Sporetail releases smoke that builds fatigue ailment. Run away from the smoke to avoid falling asleep. |
| Sporetail Pup Spore Release: Sporetail pups gather near your position and releases smoke that builds fatigue ailment. Use the Star Bomb karakuri to clear the pups and fly away from the smoke. |
| Enraged Sporetail Attack Information |
|---|
| Tree Summon:As Sporetail enters an enraged state, it will summon a tree with the roots surrounding itself. Although this move does not damage you it is an obstruction during the fight. |
| Enraged Body Slam:When enraged, Sporetail will stand on its Tail mushroom, then proceed to do a flip ending in a body slam with a wider range and increased damage. You can avoid this attack by sliding away as Sporetail is airborne. |
| Sporetail Pup Command:When enraged, Sporetail will scream, commanding its pups to be more aggressive. The pups can now burrow and lunge up from under your position and throw smoke bombs that cause fatigue. You can avoid this by clearing the pups fast by attacking them or using the Star Bomb karakuri. |
