Susanoo is a Japanese major god who focuses on myth units and god powers.

Attributes[]

God power[]

  • Kusanagi: Target a location for Susanoo to cast down his sword, Kusanagi. The sword damages nearby enemies and summons a riptide that blasts them skyward.

Technologies[]

Bonuses[]

  • Way of the Storm: Starts with 15 favor and grants +60/75/100/150/250 favor across the five Bushidō tier-ups.
  • Myth units generate Bushidō XP passively and in combat.
    • Archaic Age myth units (Kitsune) passively generate 0.5 XP/s, Classical Age myth units (except Wolves at Shrine of the Hunt) generate 1 XP/s, Heroic Age myth units generate 1.5 XP/s, and Mythic Age myth units (except Titans) generate 2 XP/s.
    • All myth units, including Shrine Wolves and Titans, generate XP equal to twice the hit point damage they inflict on enemy units. The Asura's ranged ability does not generate XP.
  • Invoking a god power makes others 25% cheaper to reinvoke.
    • Reduction is applied after other cost-reducing effects, such as Den Den Drums. Does not go below 1 favor cost unless already free. It affects only currently unlocked and used god powers, not future ones that will be received after Aging up or have not been used yet to accrue a favor cost. Whenever a god power is used, all the discounts received from this bonus is removed on that god power.
  • Unit abilities recharge 33.33% faster (-25% recharge time).[note 1]

  1. The in-game technology tree wrongly states it as 25% faster (which would be -20% recharge time).
