Our verdict on Kagerou

Kagerou is a cloud-hosted overlay skin for Advanced Combat Tracker’s OverlayPlugin and Final Fantasy XIV. It is designed for FFXIV players who want a customizable view of damage and healing metrics during encounters. The overlay displays real-time RDPS and RHPS, includes solo mode, and supports encounter-history lookup. It is distributed as open source under the GPLv3 license and runs through a web-based hosted overlay URL rather than a separate Kagerou download.

Its main ecosystem fit is clear: Kagerou connects with Advanced Combat Tracker and OverlayPlugin, with setup centered on placing the hosted overlay URL inside OverlayPlugin. That makes it suitable for users already working within that ACT-based overlay environment. It is not presented as a standalone parser, so choosing Kagerou also means adopting the required ACT and OverlayPlugin components. The published product details identify Final Fantasy XIV as the supported game and list damage and healing as its combat metrics.

Customization is the standout feature. Users can configure table columns, ordering, and colors; apply localization support; blur player names for privacy; and add custom CSS through DevTools. Pet statistics can be merged or unmerged, which gives encounter views more control over how companion damage is represented. Kagerou is a strong fit for FFXIV users who want detailed, personalized RDPS and RHPS presentation inside an ACT OverlayPlugin workflow. Users seeking a standalone parser, a non-web interface, or support beyond Final Fantasy XIV should choose a different type of tool.
