Hermit has destroyed all other academies in the town so he can build his own school. Hermit is famous for his mysterious power, which is revealed by Sly to be Magic. All of them have names based on martial art styles. He has five disciples which take the roles of bodyguards. Hermit is the second demon encountered in Shadow Fight 2.
If the player defeats Lynx in Eclipse mode, they will get his claws as a reward. Beating him will allow the player to buy ranged weapons in the shop. When Lynx is defeated, he hands over the Blue Seal. His special ability is that he can throw down a smoke bomb and become invisible. Lynx is also the first enemy to use ranged weapons. Lynx's weapons are his claws - which have a moderate range, high damage and outclass most of the weapons in the first province. Lynx has five bodyguards who, once defeated, clear the way for the player to battle Lynx. When he meets the player, he dismisses the player as a pathetic fighter, instead sending Shin to take care of the player. Lynx is the leader of a group of assassins known as ' The Order'. Lynx is the very first demon encountered in Shadow Fight 2. Each round can last a maximum of 99 seconds. There are three rounds in each boss fight (with the exception of the Interlude fights).
Players have to defeat all of the bodyguards before they can fight with the bosses.
