Future Soulbound Powers for Kitsune?

[KitsuneAnon]

Hi, I'm curious if we'll see more soulbound powers for kitsunes. The current power selection for floofs leans heavily into the player being specced into spellpower and I'm hoping there's something in the works for those of us more martially inclined. It would be nice if we could train with Nakano and pick up some weeb sword techniques or perhaps even train with Komari or Keros to use Kitsunesuki without the Fox Jewel so that we could use shields, two-handers, or a second weapon instead of a catalyst in our off-hand.

Unlikely. I'll be watching the reception of valkyrie powers and see if I want to suggest adjustments, but it would preferentially be for nerfing them in line instead of buffing fox powers. No need to encourage power creep.

I was hoping for more sidegrade powers than I was for stronger/buffed powers, like having Nakano teach a player version of Block Blade and having it be a reskinned Duelist Stance, but If that's just not in the cards I can accept that.
However, I do hope you guys strongly reconsider Kitsunesuki being equipment gated. imo, it's no stronger or weaker than any of the other ultimates but I had a lot of fun using it with my two-handed Thief a while back since the flavor text was cool and so were the effects. And even though I'm not keen on playing as a Valk, I do hope that if they get an ultimate as well that it's also not gated.

Any chance we could at least get Will-o-Wisp somehow? It's such a neat at-will power.

Will-o-wisp is designed to be NPC exclusive.

Will-o-wisp is just a slightly better Foxfire anyways.
