While Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess may first and foremost appear to be a Tower Defence-esque game, it has depth in other areas that are not typically customary in the genre. Take Soh for exampl💃e, our leading hero that guides Yoshiro and the villagers in this journey.
Kunitsu-Gami: Path Of The Godd🐼ess Preview - Carving A Spirit Path Straight Onto My Wishlist
Ku🔯nitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess is hard to describe but easy to love.
While they a💞re initially weak, you might assume they simply are limited in abilities, wanting you to focus on the Villagers instead. Yet after passing a certain point in the game, Soh gains the power to upgrade themself, leading to surprising depth. Read on to get an overview of every ability for Soh in Kunitsu-Gami and which you should focus on first.
How To Unlock Soh's Upgrades
We briefly see Soh at the beginning of the game in the prime of their strength, though this is rather quickly whisked away from them. You are then left with a comparatively paltry set of actions for Soh, mainly involving attacks, dodging, and blocking.
After defeating Batsu, the boss of Moegi Ridge and the sixth mission in the game, Soh is returned to full power, and you can upgrade them wit🙈h Musubi.
Soh's upgrades are accessed from Yoshiro's tents by interacting with their mask on the same screen as you upgrade all other V🐼illager Role♚s.
Every Skill For Soh
Once you've unlocked Soh's upgrades, they are accessed and upgraded in a manner similar to other Villager Roles. Rather than being direct upgrades, however, Soh has five different categories to choose from and almost any ability can be unlocked without prereqꦇuisites.
Each category has a different number of abilities and Musubi cost, ღso read on to get a deeper dive into all of them in💞dividually.
You can reassign your Musubi points from Yoshiro's tent anytime you like without any cost to yourself, so you can change up Soh and your Villager's whenever you ♏l🍌ike.
