- Ro-Ghoul koutarou amon has three stages with progressively stronger kakuja forms.
- Stage 1 focuses on a kagune-created Doujima and quinque-style attacks.
- Stage 2 requires Level 500 and 7,500,000 RC Cells.
- Stage 3 requires Level 1000 and 15,000,000 RC Cells.
- Ranged mode changes Stage 3 into a winged shard-firing form.
Ro-Ghoul Koutarou Amon Overview
Ro-Ghoul koutarou amon is a three-stage kagune progression based on Koutarou Amon. Unlike most ghoul weapons, it closely resembles a quinque and uses weapon-like attacks in its early form. Its later stages become full kakuja transformations with stronger defense, mobility, and mode-specific combat options.
Video Highlights:
- Stage 2 demonstrates the continuous bite-style E move and defensive behavior.
- Stage 3 switches between blade-focused melee combat and winged ranged attacks.
- The transformation’s visual design and attack range are useful for learning its practical identity.
Stage 1
A weapon-focused form that replaces the right arm with a muscular kagune arm and creates an upgraded Doujima.
Stage 2
The first kakuja form, built around heavy close-range attacks, increased defense, and stronger movement.
Stage 3
The second kakuja form, featuring blade-based melee combat and a separate winged ranged mode.
Amon is best understood as a hybrid progression: Stage 1 imitates a quinque, while Stages 2 and 3 emphasize kakuja pressure.
Stages, Requirements, and Combat Roles
Each stage changes the way Amon approaches combat. Stage 1 is comparatively direct and weapon-like. Stage 2 adds survivability and a larger body profile. Stage 3 provides the broadest toolkit because its ranged transformation replaces the melee moveset.
| Stage | Form | Requirements | Main Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 | Kagune arm and upgraded Doujima | Not listed in the reference data | Quinque-style melee |
| Stage 2 | First kakuja | Level 500, 7,500,000 RC Cells | Close-range pressure and defense |
| Stage 3 | Second kakuja | Level 1000, 15,000,000 RC Cells | Melee blades or ranged shards |
Stage 1
Stage 1 replaces the player’s right arm with a muscular kagune structure and creates an upgraded Doujima through kagune detachment. Its design and attack pattern make it the most recognizable bridge between CCG-style weapon combat and ghoul abilities.
| Input | Move | Effect | Cooldown |
|---|---|---|---|
| Click | Doujima slash | Slashes forward and stuns hit enemies for 0.5 seconds | 1.0 second |
| E | Spinning slash | Damages nearby enemies and knocks them back | 1.0 second |
Stage 2
Stage 2 is a bipedal kakuja with four arms, four back spikes, bird-like feet, and a mutated head. Its passives provide an important defensive foundation: camera shake through Insanity, infinite block time with damage reduction through Kakuja Defense, and increased dash distance through Powerful Legs.
| Passive or Input | Function | Combat Value |
|---|---|---|
| Insanity | Shakes the user’s camera | Visual drawback during transformation |
| Kakuja Defense | Infinite block time and 67% damage reduction | Strong defensive uptime |
| Powerful Legs | Increases dash distance | Better engagement and escape range |
| Click | Medium slam | Area damage and 1.0-second stun |
| E | Forward bite | Damage, 0.5-second stun, and 4% health healing per target hit |
Do not plan for Stage 2 without meeting both progression gates. The listed requirement is Level 500 plus 7,500,000 RC Cells.
Stage 3 Modes and Move Planning
Stage 3 is Amon’s second kakuja form. In melee mode, both arms function as large blades and the back carries four blade-like appendages. Activating ranged mode shortens the arm and back blades, grows thick wings, and replaces the melee moveset with ranged shard attacks.
| Mode | Appearance | Core Attacks | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Melee | Large arm blades and extended back blades | Alternating slashes and lunging strikes | Close-range pressure |
| Ranged | Wings, shorter appendages, normal hands | Shard volleys and wing-fired attacks | Zoning and sustained distance |
Melee Mode
The melee Click attack alternates between the arm blades and has a short cooldown, making it suitable for repeated pressure. The E move lunges forward with the right arm and can be held for repeated swipes. Its large hitbox helps Amon threaten targets who remain directly in front of the transformation.
Ranged Mode
Ranged Click fires a short-range cascade of shards with a very short cooldown. The ranged E move has no standard cooldown, but repeated use adds Exertion. After the second Exertion level, continued use damages the player. Exertion stacks disappear after roughly three seconds without continued use.
| Ranged Input | Function | Limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Click | Fires a shard cascade | Short range and minor damage |
| E | Fires a wall of shards while shifting upward | Exertion builds with repeated use |
| Mode switch | Grows wings and changes the full moveset | Requires timing before committing |
Use melee mode when a target is already within blade range. Switch to ranged mode when spacing matters, but pause repeated E usage before Exertion becomes dangerous.
Step-by-Step Progression and Combat Setup
Follow this process to unlock Amon’s forms while reducing wasted RC Cells and avoiding unsafe mode usage.
Confirm the Amon Path
Choose Amon for a weapon-like progression that develops into kakuja combat. Stage 1 is the introductory form, while Stages 2 and 3 are the major transformation milestones.
Reach Stage 2 Requirements
Progress to Level 500 and collect 7,500,000 RC Cells. Treat both requirements as mandatory before attempting the first kakuja unlock.
Practice Close-Range Timing
Learn the Stage 2 slam and bite patterns. The bite can damage, briefly stun, and restore health when it connects with targets.
Prepare for Stage 3
Reach Level 1000 and collect 15,000,000 RC Cells. Stage 3 is a major investment, so practice defensive movement and dash positioning first.
Separate Melee and Ranged Plans
Use blade attacks for nearby targets and switch to ranged mode for spacing. Track Exertion whenever you repeatedly use ranged E.
| Preparation | Target | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Level milestone | 500 for Stage 2 | Unlocks the first kakuja requirement |
| RC Cell reserve | 7,500,000 for Stage 2 | Completes the Stage 2 resource gate |
| Advanced milestone | 1000 for Stage 3 | Unlocks the second kakuja requirement |
| Larger RC reserve | 15,000,000 for Stage 3 | Completes the Stage 3 resource gate |
| Mode practice | Melee and ranged switching | Prevents poor positioning during combat |
Amon Progression Checklist:
- Reach Level 500 before targeting Stage 2
- Save 7,500,000 RC Cells for the Stage 2 requirement
- Practice Stage 2 slam and bite spacing
- Reach Level 1000 before targeting Stage 3
- Monitor Exertion during repeated ranged E usage
Test each move in a controlled area before public-server fights. Amon’s larger forms and mode changes are easier to manage when spacing is familiar.
Amon Strengths, Weaknesses, and FAQ
Amon’s main advantage is flexibility across its three stages. It can resemble a quinque, absorb pressure with kakuja defense, or create ranged shard pressure. Its drawbacks include transformation-specific camera shake, large resource requirements, and the risk of overusing ranged E.
| Strength | Weakness | Practical Response |
|---|---|---|
| Quinque-like Stage 1 identity | Limited early-form toolkit | Focus on clean slashes and knockback |
| 67% block damage reduction in kakuja stages | Camera shake from Insanity | Keep fights controlled and avoid unnecessary trades |
| Increased dash distance | Large transformation profile | Use movement to control engagement distance |
| Stage 3 ranged mode | Exertion damage after repeated E use | Release the move and allow stacks to fade |
| Healing on Stage 2 E hits | Requires target contact | Use the bite only when positioning is favorable |

Q: How many stages does Ro-Ghoul Koutarou Amon have?
Koutarou Amon has three listed stages: Stage 1, Stage 2 as the first kakuja, and Stage 3 as the second kakuja.
Q: What are the Stage 2 requirements?
Stage 2 requires Level 500 and 7,500,000 RC Cells.
Q: What are the Stage 3 requirements?
Stage 3 requires Level 1000 and 15,000,000 RC Cells.
Q: How does Stage 3 ranged mode work?
Ranged mode grows wings, changes the appearance, and replaces the melee moveset with shard attacks. Repeated ranged E usage builds Exertion and can eventually damage the user.
Amon rewards players who plan around form changes: use Stage 2 for defensive close combat, then manage Stage 3 modes according to distance and Exertion.
