''Below is a guide on fighting Lynx by XProCraft and other Wikia contributors, moved from the Lynx (SF2) page. The guide reflects the view of the author(s) and is by no means necessary for defeating Lynx.''

This is a guide for defeating Lynx, the first demon boss in Shadow Fight 2. This guide is intended for the first fight against Lynx (there are two other instances besides the first fight: the fight against Lynx in the gates of shadows, then the fight after that).

Intro
The Lynx boss fight can be challenging to new players, since he has access to an arsenal of powerful ranged weapons which are unavailable to them.It is best to use double sweep as you can duck and hit Lynx. Often, the ranged weapons come as a surprise and catch players off guard. Lynx also has a few tricks up his sleeve which can be both frustrating to players and detrimental to the player's success in the fight. This guide will help the player to overcome Lynx's hidden abilities and defeat him.

Background Info
Lynx wields a pair of steel claws. These claws are the first of their type; they are one of three claw type weapons (the second claw type weapon being unlocked in act III). Lynx also uses shurikens and kunais, which are usually thrown in sequences of two or three ranged weapons in a row. Lynx can also turn invisible using smoke bombs. As of the Titan Update his claws have the Time Bomb enchantment on them as well as his ranged weapons. When you defeat him in the second round the Poisoning enchant appears on his weapons and ranged weaponry.

Recommended Equipment
Although the following equipment is not necessarily essential for defeating Lynx, it certainly makes doing so easier, as this equipment is highly effective and will reduce the effectiveness of Lynx's attacks.
 * Daggers - Upgrade 3
 * Leather Jacket - Upgrade 3
 * Close Helm - Upgrade 3

Fighting Lynx
Lynx is different to previously encountered enemies. He uses ranged weapons before the player unlocked, can take advantage of perks, and also has a special perk of his own: invisiblity.

Lynx reserves his powerful moves for the later rounds in the fight. Therefore, in the first round, he will "go easy" on the player, and uses purely melee attacks.

Lynx's initial moves are always swipes with his claws. These swipes may be combined with kicks. It is good to familiarise oneself with the move set of Lynx's weapons. His "Claws Slash" is a single swipe. "Claws Double Slash" is two swipes. Lynx uses the single, double, low, high and super slashes most often. The super slash is the deadliest move, as it can often score critical hits or even shock (caused by a lot of damage within a brief time frame). However, it can be avoided simply by rolling away from him. You can tell whether Lynx is going to use the super slash when he quickly jumps towards you swinging his claws to knock you down. Lynx often tries to push you away using the horse kick, so he can go invisible.

As Lynx will start off with melee swipes, it is best to block these swipes. If you attempt a kicking move, such as a sweep, it will generally hit you, unless you can pull it off early enough. Once the first hits have been blocked, Lynx will generally be vulnerable. Use this as a window to attack. The best moves for fighting Lynx are: The daggers spinning slash is the ultimate move for scoring head hits. It has an extremely high chance to hit Lynx's head, especially if the move is used to interrupt his combo. One of the easiest ways to win the first round is to repeat the Spinning Slash.
 * Daggers Spinning Slash (Back + Punch)
 * Daggers Slash (Punch)
 * Daggers Double Slash (Punch + Punch)
 * Sweeps (Down + Kick + Kick)
 * Daggers Super Slash (Forward + Slash + Slash)
 * Daggers Strong Slash (Forward + Slash)

After the first round has been won against Lynx, he steps up his game. Lynx begins to use shurikens AND his invisibility perk. Lynx's ranged weapons are not difficult to dodge at all; simply roll backwards just as Lynx releases the weapon. However, Lynx's invisibility perk is very challenging to overcome.

Lynx throws what seems like a smoke bomb at the ground, and disappears in a puff of gas. Then, it seems that invisible claws are coming from random directions and the players health is draining away.

However, player can disable Lynx's invisibility. Simply use kicks/slashes to deal enough damage to disable Lynx's invisibility, or just deal a critical hit. After the second round is won against Lynx, he upgrades his ranged weapon to Kunai. These deal more damage than the Shurikens, but can be avoided just as easily.  
 * You can interrupt Lynx while throwing the smoke bomb to prevent him from going invisible
