The capricious and playful guardian [[Elin:Gods|God]] of Mifu, known for overseeing blessings and curses, is also widely worshiped among the fox tribes as the caring older brother of the Moonshadow goddess Horome. Always seeking new and interesting experiences, he is fascinated by the unpredictability of humans and enjoys interacting with the mortal realm as much as divine rules allow. His brotherly and caring nature, coupled with a fox-like disdain for seriousness, is well-acknowledged. | The capricious and playful guardian [[Elin:Gods|God]] of Mifu, known for overseeing blessings and curses, is also widely worshiped among the fox tribes as the caring older brother of the Moonshadow goddess [[Elin:Horome of Moonshadow|Horome]].

It's of note that with Kizuami's addition, Lulwy and Ehekatl are no longer the only Ylvan deities who grant speed and luck; however, Kizuami only grants speed and luck at about half the rate, so those seeking to be specialists in each stats should stick to these goddesses. Memorisation is useful to any spellcaster, but control magic is more situational with the ride and host actions allowing you to take up to two pets with you into your tile where there's no chance of your own spells hitting them. | It's of note that with Kizuami's addition, Lulwy and Ehekatl are no longer the only Ylvan deities who grant speed and luck; however, Kizuami only grants speed and luck at about half the rate, so those seeking to be specialists in each stats should stick to these goddesses.

The random nature of Kizuami's Trick makes it unpredictable; you might get the effects that are perfect for the situation, or they might all be irrelevant. On average, you'll get one or two useful buffs out of it. | The random nature of Kizuami's Trick makes it unpredictable; you might get the effects that are perfect for the situation, or they might all be irrelevant. On average, you'll get one or two useful buffs out of it. On average, you get one or two useful buffs. When used for debuffing enemies, it is easier to get a combat advantage than buffing yourself, and it has the advantage that the debuff from this ability is not reduced by the enemy, but it only works on one enemy. It is recommended to use it in combination with Shatter Hex spell that turn debuffs on enemies into ranged attacks. | ||

Compared to the single-target focus fire of the Exile, the White Vixen is a corridor and room-clearer with her bolts, an aggressive pet for the support archetype a Kizuami worshipper is expected to be. Her ability to draw strength from cursed equipment is more of a novelty since you can't decide to which spell the XP is applied, but lucky rolls can train a few levels on rare spells like meteor and healing of Jure. | Compared to the single-target focus fire of the Exile, the White Vixen is a corridor and room-clearer with her bolts, an aggressive pet for the support archetype a Kizuami worshipper is expected to be.

==== Kinu ==== | |||
Similar to the White Vixen, [[Elin:Kinu|Kinu]] possesses the Miko feat, which allows her to disassemble cursed and doomed equipment. As she does not count as an apostle, she can be in the same party as two apostles of other gods, but the Miko feat does not require either the Vixen or Kinu to be in your party to utilise. | |||
==== Kogitsunemaru ==== | ==== Kogitsunemaru ==== | ||
Kogitsunemaru is an artifact that bestows a curse that prevents players from dealing direct damage and instead greatly strengthens your allies. The player will therefore inevitably leave the battle to his enhanced companions and concentrate on supporting and thwarting the enemy. Since Kogitsunemaru imposes very strong restrictions on the player, it is a good idea not to use this artifact until you are more confident in the strength of your allies. Note that Kogitsunemaru has no useful enchantments other than the faction effect. The only thing that an infidel who only receives the artifact and abandons faith can get is a curse from Kizuami. | Kogitsunemaru is an artifact that bestows a curse that prevents players from dealing direct damage and instead greatly strengthens your allies.
