Higuma, the mountain bandit, raids Foosha Village!

The mountain bandits have come down to Foosha Village, and their boss leads the way: Higuma, an arrogant bandit who thinks he owns the town. It's time to take him down a peg.

“Pirates? Ha! I'm the boss around here.”
— Higuma, before regretting it

The first big rival

Higuma is the first boss of Foosha Village, and his job is to test every pirate who's just starting out:

• He shows up 2 and a half minutes into the run, in the middle of the bandit waves.
• He moves at medium speed and hits with moderate strength.
• He always warns you before his special attacks, so he's the perfect rival to learn how to dodge.

If you manage to beat him, you'll be ready for what comes next… because something much worse lurks in the sea off Foosha Village.

His attacks

Tornado Slash
Higuma spins with his sword drawn and cuts everything around him as he moves towards you. When you see him spin, get away: the danger is in the circle around him.

Rain of Slashes
He strikes the ground and raises a line of blades in front of him. It's a long, straight attack: don't stand in front of him, step to the side.

Why he's worth beating

• He drops a bag of Belly to spend on upgrades.
• He leaves a chest with an extra upgrade for your run.
• The first time you beat him, your “Wanted!” bounty will go up: the Marines will start paying attention to you.

Tips to beat him

• Come prepared: by 2:30 you should already have a couple of skills. Choose well when you level up.
• Keep your distance: both his attacks punish anyone close or right in front of him.
• Move diagonally: that way you dodge both the spin and the line of blades.
• Watch out for his bandits: don't get trapped between Higuma and the wave.
• Attack after each blow: after a special attack he takes a while to use it again. Make the most of that moment.

Defend Foosha Village!

The town is tired of Higuma's threats. Pick your character, survive the waves and show him you don't mess with a pirate.
