He wields Harrier Hooks as his weapon and fights with him carry random rules.
The players can obtain the keys to fight him by defeating Arkhos. If the players do not have any Hoaxen keys, they can buy one key for 25 gems.
In battle, Hoaxen is very aggressive, just like every raid boss. He has extreme offensive power, making it possible for him to instantly defeat any player with just one strike as his weapon is an axes-type weapon and has enchanted overheat support. He is immune to the Stun enchantment.
